Inc "History of Waterbury''-Its NTagni-
 tude and Completeness Is Meeting
 With Continued Appreciation-Some of
 the Features of This Notable Work -
 Features of Interest to New Haven.
 An admirable work was constructed and edited when the history of Water bury was prepared The editor and his co-laborers had a great deal of historic ground to cover and ably was the work done; and 1t is gratifying to know that the production is appreciated, Many able papers by competent writers in their specially assigned fields of en- quiry, form a most interesting portion of the three large volumes of this his tory and over the whole work the very competent and painstaking supervision of its editor, Rev. Joseph Anderson D. D., is apparent. Great delving among the ancient records telling of the towns beginning was done and the work takes up the story of the town from it's start in the dim and shadowy past and carries 1t braVely along with pleasing divergences here and there to cull the flowers of fancy by the wayside. There is much throughout the work to inter- est the reader-even though not to the manor born-from the times and leg ends of the aborigines with whom the earliest white settlers dwelt on to. the sl to-day. No loyal son of Waterbury but should take pride in the fact that such work exists. It is indeed one of the most complete town histories in the country. It Is an honor to Waterbury, to it's editor and his co-laborers, and to the proverbial enterprise of the pub- fishers of the work, Price, Lee & Co., of New Haven. The history Is not con- fined to Wearisome and dry details; it goes deeper and epitomizes the spirit, the social, the business, the patriotic, the fraternal and the religious life of the place and tells us of what manner of men they were who founded the town and who were their successors and of the men of to-day who have notably contributed to make Water bury the goodly city that she is.
 Consp1cuously city of manufac- tories, a great busy hive of industry, proper space is given to this subject,

 Weakness and Loss of Appetite.
 Hast spring my little girl had no appe- tite and was weak. gave her one-half bottle of Hoods Sarsa aparilla, which cured her. We will now take no other medicine but Hoods Sarsaparilla, and recommend it to everyone for weakness and loss of appetite" VIM. F. LANES, Brysonia, Pa.
 All Tired Out.
 "My husband was all tired out and run down in health. He felt the need of some- thing to build him up, and he began talk ing Hoods Sarsaparilla and Hoods Pills and the result was very satisfactory. We regard Hoods Sarsaparilla and Hoods Pills as excellent medicines" MRS. H. l.. MowRY, Towanda, Pa.
 Tired and Worn Out Feeling.
 "I have been taking Hoods Sarsaparilla and cannot say too much in it's favor. It has done me more good than any medicine I Lave ever tried. I have advised my friends to use it for a tired and worn out feeling, as know that it gives relief" WILLIAM T. HURDLE, Hollyville, Del.

An exceedlngly common ana dan- \ gerously significant condition. A warning which must be needed,
 or, as with the express train which fails to regard the dan
 ger signal, disaster must follow. A sure indication of thin, weak, im- poverished blood. A certain ad- monition that the blood is not properly feeding the nerves, tis- sues and organs of the body.
 An imperative demand for the tonic, vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsa- parilla upon the blood.
 Weak, nervous, tired men and wom- en are found everywhere. Men strive too hard to "keep their ends up," women too anxiously work con their nerves" to meet the demands of home and society all have too little sleep, and the excessive drain on strength and nervous energy will soon con- pletely ruin health.
 The strength must be built up by pure blood, and the nerves must also find in pure blood the proper nerve food. For this purpose nothing equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
 The thousands of wonderful cures if has accomplished, the like of which no other medicine and no combination of medicines can show, prove its curative merit /; prove that it has never been equalled as a blood medicine prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is indeed the ideal spring medicine, the best nerve and stomach tonic, the one true blood purifier.
