THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
it will not be fair for many TO lay the
blame on the cook If they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little APPETITE
and end it with distress and nausea.
1t may not be fair for any TO do that
let Us hope so for the sake of the
cook The disease DYSPEPSIA indicates
bad stomach, that is a weak stom-
ach, rather than a bad cook and for
weak stomach there is nothing
else equal TO Hoods Sarsaparilla II
gives the stomach vigor and tone,
cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes; eating the pleasure it should
be.
