1t is an uncommon thing to learn of per-
sons reaching the age OF Mrs. Emyle Hyde
Grinnell, and years OF good health such as
hers come only to those who make use OF the
very best means of keeping well.
No one will wonder that the bright-eyed
old lady, whose mind today is as alert and
clear as ever, should be anxious for others
to try Paine's celery compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell was born in
b ennington, Vt, July 6, 1896, and is today
living with her granddaughter. the wife Of
Martin Fowler, of Colchester, Vt, a beaati-
full town near Fort Ethan Allen. der faith
er was farmer and hotel keeper, and she
lived upon the farm until her marriage.
Mrs. Grinnell has none of the infrmities Of
old age. She rises at daylight, works about
the house, and when the weather will per
nit walks outdoors. Her eyesight is so
good that she threads needle and spend DIS
many hours crocheting and doing fancy
work. She keeps abreast of the times, and
is remarkably we'll informed upon many
subjects. She declares that she does not
feel any older than she has for years. and If
people half her age enjoyed such good health
as she they would consider themselves for
tunate. She has seven children, four boys
and three girls. two of whom are living
today.
Mrs. Grinnel writes:

In The Beginning

Of a new year, when the winter season of
close confinement is only half gone, many
find that their health begins to break down,
that the least exposure threatens sickness.
1t is then, as well as at all other times, and
with people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hoods Sarssparilla leads
everything in the way of medicines; that it
accomplishes the greatest cures in world;
has the largest sale in the world, and re-
quires the largest building in The world
devoted exclusively to the preparation Of
the proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove. if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for you
to take?
