Ease and Disease
A short Lesson on the Meaning OF a
Familiar Word.

Disease is the opposite of ease. Webster defines
disease as ''lack OF ease, uneasiness trouble
alton, disquiet." It is a condition due to some
arrangement Of the physical organism. A vast
majority Of the disease" from which people
suffer Is due to impure blood. Disease OF this
kind Is cured by Hoods Srrsaparilla which
purlies, enriches and vltalizes the blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures scrofula, salt rheum, pimples
and all eruptions 1t tones the stomach and
creates good appetite. and 1t gives vigor and
vitality to the whole body. 1t revel ses the con.
dition of things, giving health, comfort and
