The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms of
serofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is a wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
Hoods Sarsaparilla is easily OBJ
tanned and there is abundant proof
that its cures are radical and perma-
nent.

that science has been able to cure in all its

cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being consttu-
tonal disease, requires a constitutional treat

acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
