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
binding Storms. To many people it
seems to take delight in making
bad things worse, for rheumatism
twists sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not much
poetry in This, bat there is truth,
and it is a wonder that more people
don't get rid of these ailments. The
medicine that cures them-HOod's g
SarsaparilIa-it is easily obtained
and there is abundant proof that its
cures are radical and permanent.
