OPENING A sLUICE GATE

Relieves a dam of q superabundance OF
water. The bowels are kind of sluice
gate of the system, and serve TO carry
off superfuities which would otherwise
flood and damage it. Constipation OBJ
structs this avenue of escape. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters opens it and re-
lieves the system. This it does gently
and gradually, but completely, and
does not, like violent purgative, grippe,
conyulse and drench the bowels, and
leave them weak and unfit for efficient
service afterwards On the contrary,
it fnvigorates and regulates at the same
time that it relieves them. 1t also
strengthens and imparts activity TO
the stomach, liver and kidneys, coun-
teracts tendency to rheumatism and
invigorates the nervous system. For
the relief and prevention of chills and
fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague
and ague cake, it has no peer among
modern remedies. Persons conyaiesc-
ing or suffering from the debility or
infirmities of age find it highly bene-
fetal.

ssSHE DID so WHEN SHE WAS
YOUNG"

A story is being told of young lady
who found package Of love letters
that had been written to her mother
BY her father before they were mar
ried. The daughter saw that she could
have little sport. and read them to
her mother, substituting her own name
name for that of her mother, and fine
young man for that Of her father.
The mother jumped up and down in
her chair and shifted her feet and
seemed terribly Disguised. Finally she
forbade her daughter having anything
to do with young man who would
write such nonsensical stuff.
When the young lady handed the let
ters to her mother to read the house
became so still that one could hear the
grass growing in the back yard

Spring

Your blood in Spring is almost certain to
be full OF impurities - the accumula-
tion Of the winter months. Bad ven-
tilation Of sleeping rooms, impure air
in dwellings, factories and shops, over
eating, heavy, improper foods, failure
of the kidneys and liver properly to do
extra work thus thrust upon them, are
the prime causes of this condition. 1t
Is of the utmost Importance that you

A vast mass of direct, unimpeacha-

sfbility of doubt that Hoods Sarsapar-
lila actually does perfectly and perma-
nently cure diseases caused by impure
blood. It's record of cures is unequal
ed and these cures have often been ac-
complished after all other preparations
had failed.
