A SUSTAINING DIET.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilia
is such as to suggest the propriety OF
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier and tonic,-say, sus-
tanning diet. 1t makes it much easier to
bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep,
and will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time of year.

day at his home with his parents. He
came in from hunting trip with one

ture of which is not known. He applied
some strong carbolic acid to the wound
probably by mistake, and, apparently
crazed by the pain, seized his rifle.
