High Pressure Days,

Men and women alike have 10 work necessarily with brain and hand ta hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business the wants of the family, the requirements of society more nameTcas. The first effect of the praiseworihy effort to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in 3 weakened oridebilitated condition Of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in complete nervous prostration. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give Vigor and tone 10 the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimtlative fune- tions healthy and active. From per sonal knowledge, we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose. It acts on all the ivital organs. builds up the whole system, and fits men and women for these high-pressure days.
 Suffered day and night the torment of itching piles. Nothing helped me until I Doan 'sOintmat. It cured me permanently. .n-Hon. John Rear ett, Mayor, GiTard, Ala.
