City Council made what proved TO be

ever voted public money.
Colonel ordway had great faith in the |
future Of Richmond, and did much TO |
promote our prosperity. He was the
leader in the great enterprise that put
500 grante-cutters TO work on the Nam
chester shore preparing stone for the
state Department building at Washington.
Indeed. all the time that he was here he
was busy bustling. hope inspiring, and
public-spirited citizen. Notwithstanding
the fact that he had come to Richmond !

he found great favor with our people.
He was popular and respected. and de-

SCROFULA
1t is Foul 5lood's Advertise
ment
BIN 1t Is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarSaoaYilla.

Yes, scrofula, iianything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t Is the
scourge OF the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There Is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this.
and 1t Is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where tho system has been poisoned
by long years OF faint, and the rayages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
Is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
My daughter was afflicted with i'm.
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that |
were recommended as blood purifiers.
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and / began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
lectiy cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.
