The Lie Guards are two regiments Of
calvary forming part OF the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud OF them. Not only the King S
household. but yours, ours, everybody S
should have its life guards. The need OF
them is especially great when the great
est foes OF life, diseases. find allies in the
very elements. as colds. influenza. ca
tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the
stormy month OF March. The best way
that we know of to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla--the greatest of all
life guards. 1t removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most

to all vital organs and functions, and
imparts genial warmth TO the blood
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hood S
