But &c ID Soon Cured by Hoods
SarSapaFiIIa.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendura bic.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
EmoIlients 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 it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages 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-
riIIa and I began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectIy cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.

Mr. Blkns never has r word 10 SAL

PRICES AND VALUES.

The New York Journal OF Commerce
hes recently made an interesting publ
cation concerning the production Of cot
ton AS is well known the price Of
cotton has recently struck bottom ne
ures. and there has been anxiety
throughout the country as to how far
the low price would affect the cotton
planters Of the South. The Journal Of
Commerce therefore made enquiry Of the
leading bankers throughout the cotton
planting section to this effect:
-. Does the present low price OF cot
ton seriously threaten the prosperity OF
the South?
80 Has there been generally, or in spe-
cial sections. any reduction IN The cost OK
raising cotton? If 50, 10 what extent?
"g. are there any other offsets 10 low
prices for cotton?
"a. Can any profit be made by the
planter on live-cont cotton?
"5. Are general business conditions in
the South sound and promising"
The replies Of the bankers are summed
up by the Journal Of Commerce as fol-
lows:
Virtually without exception, they
agree Cd that the reduced price OF cotton
does not Imply any setback TO the gene
raj business prosperity Of the South; 90
that the cost OF raising the staple has
been materially lessened during the years

South who financed the cotton crop could
