HOME AND ABROAD.

It is the duty Of everyone, whether at home or travelling for pleasure or busi- ness, to equip himself with remedies which will keep up strength and prevent illness, and cure such ills as are liable to come upon all in everyday life. For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla as gener- al tonic, and to keep the blood pure and less liable to absorb the germs of disease will be well nigh invaluable. Change of drinking water often causes serious trouble, especially if one has been used to spring water in the country. From a few drops to teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water will prevent the water having any injurious effect.

A Cruel Hoax,

The PRESS has been for several days
trying to ascertain who the person was
who sent to this Office a few days ago a
postal card bearing the announcement of
the death of Miss Grace G. bennett of
Old Orchard, which announcement was
false The motive for this cruel hoax is a
mystery, which seems inexplicable. 1t
seems impossi bic that any sane person
would perpetrate such an outrage under
the impression that it was a joke, and
it is also difficult to conceive how it was
calculated to crafty malice. 1t would
afford the PRESS much satisfaction to
give such an advertisement as he de-
serves to the person responsible for the
outrage, and we do not yet entirely de-
SPAR of being able to do SO.
