Keen the Balance Up.


1t has been truthfully said that any
distu banee 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 debili-
ty. The system needs tonic, Graves it,
and should not be denied it; and the
best tonic of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsapanlla. What this
medicine has done in keeping healthy
people healthy. in keeping up the even
balance OF health, gives it the same dis
tinction as a preventive that it enjoys as
a cure. Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that stitch in
time saves nine. Take Hood for appe-
tite, strength, and endurance. sim.

all questions and especially upon his
fight to- have the new CITY charter sub
mitted to the vote of the people for
ratification before 1t became a law. He
was complimented upon his manly
course on all questions. and IL must
have been very gratifying to him to

scented.
