Spring is the Time
When Impurities in the Blood
Should Be Expelled
Americas Greatest Medicine Is the
Best Spring Medicine.

In winter months the perspiration, so
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through
the pores of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all its forms,
as proved by its marvellous cures OF blood
diseases. tits therefore the medicine for
YOU to take in the spring. II expells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Republican, Scranton, Pa

The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack OF
gitality: the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life-sustaining elements of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its func-
ton when the source of nutriment fails.
When the stomach is robbed of the nourish-
ment demanded by nature, assimilation
ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the
entire systm responds to the discord.
A practical illustration Of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Nandyke, 440 Hickory St.,
Scranton, Pa.
In telling his story, Mr.. Vandyke says:

ACCORDING to the Chicago Tribune,
whether the controversy with Spain
does or does not end in war, the Amer
lean navy is TO be much more formida-
BILE than il is now. The leisurely
method of building it up which has
prevailed during the past is to be aban-
doned. No attempt will be made to
emulate the monster navies of some
European nations. England has 6sC
vessels and France $50 while the
United States has l05. But the Amer.
Jean navy win be strengthened until
it will not fear TO try conclusions any
where with that of any European pow
er, except the two above named.

The Voice Of Veterans.

We referred yesterday to the fact
that many of the most indignant pro
tests against pension frauds aud
msny Of the strongest demands for
the purging of the pension roll came
from Union veterans who have had
opportunities to learn how outrage:
ously our pension system is abused.
An instance in point is furnished
by the recent action of Encampment
No l of the Union Legion Of Penn
sylyania, located at Pittsburg
This encsmpment adopted few
days ago the following resolutions:
"Whereas, Encampment No. l.,
Union Veteran Legion of Penneylva-
MIA. in encampment, composed Of
more than / 1000 veterans whose av
erage term ofservice is more than
three years and two months, yet of
whose membership not SO per cent
is on the pension rolf and of this per-
centage four fifths are ON the rolls of
wounds received in line of duty,
views with regret the alarming in
crease Of pensions, many Of which.
we greatly fear, have been granted to
uDdeserving men, and are at variance
in many cases with the services rem
defed the government; but believing
and insisting that liberal pensions
should be granted for wounds receiv-
ed and disabilities contracted in the
service of the government, and that
the granting of a just pension is not
an act of charity, but one of justice,
and that tie pension roll should be q
roll of honor; therefore, be 1t
"Resolved. that we are opposed to
the pension act of 1890, known as
the INDECENT pension bill, as opening
the door to frauds and perjury, to the
granting of pensions to substitutes
and those who have rendered but tit
tie, if any, service to the government
aud that we are also opposed to the
granting of all special PENSIONS
The honest and deserving veterans
of the Pittsburg encampment hold in
proper contempt the bounty jumpers
and other frauds who have schemed
their way to the pension roll. They
demand that the pension list shall be
roll of honor, and chat all names
which are not there on merit be
stricken.
If the veterans who did the real
fighting in the Union armies had
their way there would be review Of
the pension list which would result
