attack the darkness with candles; the
other is to open the shutters and let in

Face, Hands and Arms Covered with
ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. IL
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very BAD.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break owt again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
, greatly alarmed at his condition. MY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to u boy and we noted an improve
ment.in his ase very soon. After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods ~Sarsaparlila
the humor had all been driven out OF hls

Is laden with the chill Of death;
The 1aowers nave closed their dropping eyes,
THE forest robes Of countless dyes
,rouched by his magic. icy wand

THE yerdant fields now changed to brown
with cold disdain he tramples down;
while natures choir of myriad tongues,
Al his approach have ceased their songs,
And cen old oceans sullen roar
The frost king mufaes near the shore.
The babbling brooks have ceased their song
With noiseless steps they glide along
Beneath their crystal blankets, spread
Above their narrow, winding bed.
While field and forest. vale and height
