the Wants ofths Whole People
In passing through the crowded
streets Of q large city and taking :
view Of the vast areas which are
covered with dwellings, q person i
led to wonder who can supply food for
SO large throng. But to the traveller ]
in the west, before whose eyes, as be (
is whirled across the prairies, thou
sands Of acres Of wheat and corn are 4
exhibited, and to the tourist among.
the mountains, where the great herds :
Of cattle and sheep are grazing, the
problem has no difficulties. II Is
sometimes also subject Of wonder
how it is possible to supply the de-
mand for some OF the manufactured
products Of the country, especially
when the number Of our people is
taken into consideration. And yet,
il we could take in at a glance all the
great manufactures in the land, we
should find that the matter is easily
explained. There are very few srti-
Giles manufactured for which the de-
mand is so great that it cannot be
readily and constantly supplied, be-
cause manufacturers with an eye to
business are sure to see that their
facilities are such that they can keep
up with the demands Of the people.
however great they may be.
As an example Of a rapidly incress.
ing public demand, and an equally
rapid growth in business, the geat
laboratory Of c. l. Hood & C1., Of
Lowell, Mass, may be referrj to.
This firm, as many Of our reIders
may know, are the proprietors Of that
famous and meritorious remedy,
Hoods Sarsaparilla." When this
preparation was first offered for sale
it was made in a small drug store and
only a few bottles were called for.
The cures produced by its use in the
immediate vicinity attracted SO much
attention that in a short time 1t was
found necessary to move into larger
quarters, and the demand for Hoods
Sarsaparilla increased SO rapidly and
to such proportions that six or seven
such changes were made from time to
time, until now the building in which
it is made has floor space Of over
three acres, and is the largest struct-
ure in the world devoted to similar
purpose.
The room in which the medicine Is
put up is supplied with machinery by
which it is possible to I'll $4,000 bot
ties day with Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and at all seasons Of the year this
room is one Of the busiest places in
the entire building. But, besides
this, there are numerous other depart
ments, including the printing room
and bindery whore Hoods beautiful
calendars are made, and where Hoods
Cook Books, which are familiar in al
most every home, are printed and
bound.
In the office force OF about 60 peo-
pie are employed, and here again the
work is classified so that there Is not
the slightest confusion in carrying on
vast amount Of correspondence, and
in keeping d record Of the testimonials
from the hundreds Of people who are
constantly being cured and benefited
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t would seem that nothing could
be more convincing as evidence Of the
peculiar virtues Of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla than this very growth in the bus
mess of manufacturing it. But the
written statement OF what Hoods Sar-
saparilla has done for people in every
station Of life, who were suffering
from such diseases as scrofula, CO.
tarrh, dyspepsia or rheumatism, Is
the proof which the proprietors Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla depend npon to
establish the fact Of its wonderful
merits. These statements are writ
ten voluntarily by honest and intelli-
gent people and they tell marvellous
and yet truthful stories Of relief from
suffering which leave no room for
doubt that Hoods Sarsaparilla cures.
Hoods sarsaparilla purihes and en-
riches the blood and it is by so doing
that it supplies health and happiness 4
in place Of disease, distress and mis-
cry. 1t is, without doubt. the great
est blood purifier strength builder
and health restorer Of modern times.
