The remarkable thing about most
of the accidents that happen to BIZ
cyclists is that the injured is not a
novice ON the wheel, but generally
an expert need if not an expert rid
or. The novicos seem to have sense
enough to keep out of dangers way.
But AS soon as one becomes aoous-
toned to the wheel lie begins to
overestimate his ability to dodge
danger when he gets into its path.
Witness the foolhurdiness of the
Chicago youths who make u practice

Fads in Medicine,

There are tads in medicine as in
every thing else and Il ''new thing
frequently sells for short time sim
ply because it is new. But in med
icine, as in nothing else, the people
demand and will be satisfied only
with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has
stood its ground against all compete
ton, and its sales have never way
cred but have remained steadily at
the top. demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla rests upon the solid foundation
of absolute merit and its power to
cure, and its sales continue to be the
largest in the world.
