less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties Of perfect lax

YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION

Needs attention at this time II
you are tired, weak and nervous, it
is clear that your blood is impure,
and without doubt there has been
too much over-work or strain on
brain and body. The course of
treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In
telligent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier nerve tonic and strength
imparting medicine is Hoods Sar-
sapasilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsapar.lla is persistently
