The British ship Strathnevis. which

recent November gales in the North Pa
cihc Ocean. was spoken few days ago
by the British bark John CANDLES which
arrived at Vancouver from Japan. The
Strathnevis was in disabled condition,
so miles northwest of Cape Flattery,
and is on the sailing track between Puget
Sound and Yokohama. The Strathnevis
is laden with passengers and has a valu-
able cargo Of merchandise bound TO Yoke
hama from Tacoma. When spoken the
Strathnevis had drifted 1.GW miles. and
as il does not carry sufficient sail to make
steering possible it is probably being car
ried eastward by the Japan current.

Weak III rves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs viii have
the healthful nourishnent they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
