Keen the Balance un.

It has been truthfully said that any disturbance of the even balance of health causes serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appe- tite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sickness, weak ness. or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, and should not be de- nied it; and the best tonic of which we have any knowledge is Hoods Sarsa- parilla. What this medicine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives it the same distinction as a pre- ventive that it enjoys as a cure. It's early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old saying that stitch in time saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite, strength and endurance. adv
