Bright Spring Days.

The spring should be prominently a
season Of contentmeut. happiness and
hope. In these bright ami pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree Of tranquility. But
spring. II is we'll known. is often q per-
iOd Of discomfort and disturbance in the
physical system. Important organs of
the body become torpid or irregular In
their action. and the fact is instantly
reflected in the mental condition OF. the
individual. A disordered liver means
disordered nerves and a dull and un-
steady brain. Anything which will
bring the physical system into harmony
with budding Nature confers an enor-
nous benefit upon the nation, besides
the mere allsying of physical discom-
fort. Hoods Sarsaparilla does this, as
thousands OF grateful and happy men
and women can testify. and increased
use Of this standard spring medicine is
OF more real practical importance in
health and quiet in the bust
ness world than reams Of abstract theo-
rizing.
