MARCH AND THE LION
Something Better than the Old

The saying about the lion
and the lamb in March often
prOV>s false, but there is another
and a better one which is liter

aud vital1ze your blood, you may
expect, when it goes out, that it
will leave you free from that
tired feeling and with none of
the boils, pi1nples and erupt!ons
which manifest themselves be-
cause IT impure blood in the
spring. If you have not already
begun taking Hoods Sarsapar-
lila for your spring medicine,
we advise you to begin today.
We assure you it will make you
feel better all through the com>
ing summer.
