Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

intensely from rheumatic pains
throughout my body and at times |
was so stiff and lame that | could
hardly get around. At night | lay
awake for hours and | got up in the
morning feeling miserable. | tried
a number of remedies and also rub
bed my back with liniments, but |
did not get the slightest relief until

and since then | have always kept
a supply in the house" Statement

PARIS IS WORRIED
ABOUT RAINFALL
Recurrence Of Floods Feared-Grape
Crop Has Suffered Severely in
France.
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, France, July 9.-Continuous
cold and wet weather is beginning to
cause serious alarm. There has been
daily rains for six weeks and the pre-
cipitation since the first of January
has already exceeded the average an
nual rainfall. A recurrence of floods
is threatened. Many streams are full
and some are out of their banks. The
grape crop is suffering heavily, and
mild weather has made it's appearance
in the champagne district. The hay
crop is almost destroyed.
Meteorologists attribute the rainfall
to continuous hot westerly winds from
America, which absorb moisture in
crossing the gulf stream that is pre-
cipitated as soon as it comes in con-
tact with the cold land of the CONT
nent.

A Question Of Prevention.

1t is certain true that a vast pro-
portion OF the sickness that exist in
the world might be avoided If proper
attention were given to the means
of prevention. There are times. how
ever. when given causo will pro-
duce sickness and other times when
the same cause appears to have no lad
effect. This is explained by the fact
that the system is at times better able
to resist the effects of exposure to
these causes.
1t is here that the well known medi-
cine Hoods Sarsaparilla provei es-
pecially valuable. 1t puts the system
in a condition to resist and overcome
disease. We know of no medicine
that stands so high in the estimation
of the people as this, and there is
abundant reason for it. Everyone
who has read the newspapers to any
extent must have seen reports of
cures by Hoods s saparilla and
these reports are given by honest
and conscientious people These
cures prove beyond any question that
this medicine possesses extraordinary
merit and that it may be depended
upon to keep the health tone, thus
preventing serious illness, and also
that it has the power to cure all forms
Of disease that originate in or are pro-
NOTED BY impure or impoverished
