Docs not necessarily mean the contraction of
disease provided the system is in vigorous
condition. with the blood pure and all the
organs in healthy action. When in such n
condition contagion is readily resisted and
the disease germs can find no ludgment.
Hoods harsapariila is the best medicine To
build up the system because it makes pure,
rich blood and pure blood is the basis of
good health. III cold weather it is especially
necessary to keen up the health tone because
the body is subject to greater exposure and
more liable to disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla

Something to Know.

Itmay be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out and nervous system
to healthy vigor is Electric Bitters.
This medicine is purely vegetable, acts
by giving tone to the nerve centres
in the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidneys, and aids these
organs in throwing off impurities of
the blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried IL as
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for 50c or $l.0C
per bottle at Grant Holden'e drug
