Spring Medicine

AT ts season, more emphaticaly than at any other,
we should build for the future.
When Nature gives vitality to field and wood there
should be the harmony of renewed life and energy in our
physical systems.
Dut on tne contrary, we find ourselves weak, dull,
tired. This is because in the winter we have been
housedup in poorly ventilated Offices homes and Shops
our blood has become thin and impure and is UNEQUAL to
the demand of the body for lfe more vgor, more
energy, more strength.
Nature imperatively cries for help!
Where is it to be found?
Logically enough, in good Spring Medicine, like
Hoods sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier
This preparation has proven in many years of test
that it supplies the demand as nothing else can.

character which fits his peculiar abil-
