disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance. up. When people
begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or
debility. The system needs a
tonic, Graves it. and should hot be
denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have anysknowledge is
Hoods SarsapariIla. What this
medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as a
