A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE

With the departure Of another
year when 4 review IL made of the
condition Of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with lIfe's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great. it would rot be surprising il
it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. 1t Is in this state that the
Tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the fbrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local man
ifestations rheumatism. Thousands
Of people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier. a
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.
