The Time for Building

cold weather has made unusual drains
upon the vital forces. The blood has
become impoverished and impure, and
all the functions of the body suffer in
consequence. Hoods %Sarsaparilla is
the great builder, because it is the one
true blood purifier and nerve tonic.

Many fear lest the wholesale denud-

likely in sections near the Gulf coast.
Farther inland it may well cause un-
