We heard man say the other morn

Freeze Every Body, and
that man looked frozen in his ulster.
It was apparent that he needed the kind
of warmth that stays, the warmth that
reaches from head to foot, all over the

personal knowledge that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla gives permanent warmth, it in
vigorates the blood and speeds it along
through artery and vein, and really fits
men and women, boys and girls to en-
ioy cold weather and resist the attacks
of disease. 1t gives the right kind OF
