A GOOD APPETITE
 Always accompanies good health, and an absence of appetite is an indication of something wrong. The loss of a ration al desire for food is soon followed by lack of strength, for when the supply of fuel is cut off the fire burns low. The system gets into low state, and is liable to seve attacks of disease. The uni versal testimony given by those who have used Hoods sarsaparilla, as to it's great merits in restoring and sharpening the appetite, in promoting healthy action of the digestive organs, and as purifier of the blood, constitutes the strongest rec ommendation that can be urged for any medicine. Those who have never used Hoods sarsaparilla should surely do so this season.
 Prevention is better than cure, and you may prevent that tired feeling by taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which will keep your blood pure and free from acid taint and germs of disease.
 Hoods pills do not purge, pain or gripe, but act promptly, easily and effic-
