UNWISE PoSTPONEMENT.
Negiecting a Duty Which Ought to Be
Done Now.

On general principles there Is no
easy than by deferring an obvious
duty. Especially foolish is the per-
son who postpones the work of cleans
ing his blood. There are many rea-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea-
son, and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing is due to Initiated condition of the
vital fluid The pimples and other
eruptions which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled Ut
once. In no other way can health be
maintained Now there is but one true
blood purifier prominently in the pub
lie eye to-day, and that is Hoods Sar-
saparilla BY taking a few bottles OF
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up SO
that when the warm weather comes
the system will be able to resist the
debiliating effects of the heated sea-
son. Those who start with good health
In the spring, given them by thor
ough cleansing of the blood by Hoods
Sarsaparlla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known at that season before. The
work of cleansing the blood in the
spring Is one of the most important
duties of the season, because pure
blood means good health, and good
health is essential both 10 happiness
and to the highest usefulness in the
world.
