Nervousness

Is really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
Yousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when You are
taking preparation which only qusets
yournerves 1t like trying to drown
your sorroWs in the flowing bowl.
They are sure to return, teaa-5old soorse.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENINe or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. If you take such articles
you are only TRIPPING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be REAo-
TIoN which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee. line to the state of
health, purify your blood and cure

NEW FAME.
Personal Mention of Local Interest.

An interesting bit of personal history,
with local interest," comes by way of The
Educator of Philadelphia, concerning Dr.
j. l.. Noyes, superintendent of the Mime
sofa school for the deaf. DR.. NOyes is a
brother of Mrs. Mary Burnham of this
place. He came of Norman ancestry, the
name having been originally Noye, and is
sixth in descent from Rev. j. Noyes who
landed in Massachusetts, in 1854. His life
work has been among the deaf land the
commanding position which the Minnesota
school occupies today is due to his single
ness of purpose, wide forethought, and en-
tire devotion to the welfare of the deaf for
nearly three decades" DR.. Noyes's life is
an encouragement to those who seek to win
their way through college by their own eX-
ertions. According to this sketch, his
nephew and namesake, John l.. Durham,
formerly of this place, and now of Yale
college is seventh in descent from preacher
who came to Massachusetts only fourteen
years after the landing of the pilgrims.
