Freezing Weather In July

Would cause great discomfort and loss, but
fortunately it Is seldom known. A vast
amount OF misery Is caused at this season,
and general debility. These conditions may
be remedied by enriching the blood and ton
ing the stomach with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
THE medicine seems to put new life into the
whole physical system, simply because of its
wonderful power to purify, enrich and vital
ize the blood, create an appetite and invigo-
rate the digestive function. We advise you
to get bottle and try it if you are not feel
