Hood Sarsa parilla. ~S ~S

Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hoods Sarsaparila possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any OF the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. 1t will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive cut the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

nor TOWING COAL

PITTSBURGH. Dec, 9S--s. NJ, Stew
art. OF Brooklyn. is In the city to-day,
calling on the coal men. He has pat
eated appliance for hi;ching up tows,
Cor which he makes the claim that It
will save oae-half in the cost OF towing.
In order to adopt it the coal men would
have to build all new barges His idea
- 20 have barges without any rake
and perfectly square on the ends. These
would then be bolted together by a
patent spring devise, which would
make the tow perfectly solid. Under the
present system the barges are all built
with rake, or slant at each end. When
two are hitched together there Is a
space between them, In which drift
lodges, and which greatly increases the
friction. Mr.. Stewart claims that his
method would avoid all this, but as 1t
would be necessary for the head barges
OF every tow TO have rake, the adop-
tlon OF the plan is not even probable.
Mr.. Stewart spent the forenoon at the
coal exchange, and this afternoon called
upon Captain 5. S. Brown and other
operators.
