To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane, and "that tired feeling" il the
complaint Of all.
The reason for this condition Is
found in the deficient quality OF the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon as the bracing effect OF cold
air is lost, there is langour and lack OF
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine, because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because
