Which Purihes, Vitalizes and Enriches the Blood.


Atthis season everyone should take
a good spring medicine. The blood
has become loaded with impurities
and the whole system should be reno
waited. Nature cries for help and if
there is not a prompt and satisfactory
response, the penalty must sooner or
later be paid in serious illness and
prolonged suffering.
This demand can only be met by
the purifying, enriching and
BIood-vitaIizing
elements to be found in Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. That this is the best medicine
for you to take is proven by the fact
that it has the largest sales and accom-
pishes the greatest cures of any medi-
cine in the world. 1t purifes the
blood, creates an appetite, builds up
the nervous system and renovates the
entire body. Do not be induced to buy
anything else. Insist upon HOODS.

enough for what it has done for my boy.

LET OFF EASY.
Portland Will Not Lose More Than $4,000
by the Assignment of Baldwin Bros.

My partner, Mr.. Cassidy, went to
Boston this morning and was not sure
until got telegram from him that
Baldwin Brothers had assigned" said
Charles Sargent, of the firm of Sargent
& Cassidy, managers Of the Exchange
street office of Baldwin Brothers. last
evening.
"How much will Portland people
lose?n
The total loss through our office
will be under rather than over $4,000,
and that loss with the exception of 5000
will be pretty well distri buted. One man
will lose $500, that is supposing there is
a total loss. We mad felt that something
might be wrong, and SO had cleared the
sheets up pretty well. Our firm will lose
perhaps from $500 to $500.
How much will be lost through the
Congress street officer"
mot over $4,000 at the most. The
business had not of late been very
heavy. I think total of $4,000 includ-
ing ours would be beyond the actual
figures"

highest possible figure and am cofindent
that l haven't overestim ated it,"

were closed, a branch Office was opened

street office was continued. For some
time past the business seems to have
fallen off
A gentleman who is commonly well
informed regarding the movements of
local spectators, said last evening that
ne did not believe that very many Maine
people had speculated through Baldwin
Brothers directly, and that in any ca Sc
the Maine losses would be confined to
the operations carried on through the
branch Offices. Mr.. Sargent had no in
formation to give regarding the extent
of the failure if such it sh Guild prove, or
the cause that led to it.

A Lively Runaway.

A produce wagon from Buxton, drawn
by pair of horses and owned by a man
named Merrill, were started while wait
ing for him to deliver some goods at
Bradley's corner yesterday morning.
The wagon went into ditch and the. top
came off, at which the horses took
fright and started to run down through
the West End. The road was lined with
egga, butter, milk and cabbages as far
as Capt. Bailey's, where they were
stopped. The neighbors turned to and
helped pick things up, and Mr.. Merrill
borrowed wagon, reloaded and went on
his way.

to make him eat enough to keep him alive.
A few weeks later we had his hip lanced,

grew weaker every day, although we had

as they viii repeat only what you teach
them, but when they begin TO think for

the matter changes complexion ana may

hood, SO much. I'm fact. that they were
betrothed. But this young farmer has
always hated parrots. and that mas been
the one sore point between him and his
promised Wife. He has especially hated
the parrot IN question. and has repeated
iy warned the young lady that the thing
was not so green as 1t looked, and that
il would surely cause trouble between
them. We can easily believe that the
bird. being beloved by his mistress. was
always al hand during these little talks
and it is as easy to believe that no we'll

long with such sighting remarks as the
young farmer was in the habit of making.
