High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, tbs wants of the
family, the requirements of society more
numerous The first effect of the praise
worthy effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in a weakened
or debilitated condition of the nervous
system which results in dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition of body and brain, and
in extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t is clearly seen that what
is needed is what will sustain the system,
give vigor and tone to the nerves, and
keep the digestive and assimilative
functions healthy and active From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose. 1t
acts on all the vital organs, builds up
the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high pressure days.
