a Short Lesson OH the Meaning
OF a Familiar W Grid.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "Iacl
of ease, uneasiness, trouble, Vexd
ton, disquiet." 1t is a cond

physical organism. A vast ma

people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood'sSarsaparilla which
purifeS, enriches and vitaIizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla cures
scrofala, salt rheum, pimples and
all ethptions. It tones the stom-
ach and creates good appetite,
and it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body. It reverses the
condition of things. giving health,
comfort and ease" in place Of
