Does not necessarily mean the contrac- tion of disease provided the system is in vigorous condition, with the blood pure and all the organs in healthy action. When in such condition contagion is readily resisted and the disease germs can fiud no lodgmens. Hoods sarsapa- rilla is the best medicine to build up the system because it makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood is the basis of good health. In cold weather it is especially necessary to keep up the health tone be- cause the body is subject to greater ex- posture 'and more liable to disease. Hoods sarsapariila is the safeguard of health.
