What EVERYBODY Knows.

Or ought to know, is that health and even
life itself depends upon the condition of
the blood. Feeding, as it does, all the or
gans of the body, it must be rich and pure
in order to give proper nourishment,
Hoods Sarsaparifla makes the blood pure,
rich and nourishing, and in this way
strengthens the nerves, creates an appe-
tite, tones the stomach and builds up the
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla wards off
colds, pneumonia and levers, which are
prevalent at this time.

to-day seemed to inspire the boys
with new courage, and If you
could have seen their actions In

have thought so.
Many visitors were here and
q number of the curiosity seek

for instance, were tossed up in

ure.
An old negro came in camp
riding a mule, and let me say
right here the boys didn't do .
thing to him. He was taken OF
the mule and one of the boys put
on in his place, who rode II
throughout camp followed by
about two hundred soldiers. The
result was that some of the boys
landed in the guard house.
A "sutler' drove into camp
with numerous articles for sale,
and he was surrounded and soon
relieved Of his goods, and Of.

Company D. did not have any
thing to do with that rash act.

into the service Of the United
