Spring-Weak, Spring Miserable, is a prevalent condition at this season, caused by impure blood. Thousands are "off their feed," have poor appe- tite, bad digestion, dull headaches, heavy feet, tire easily, think slowly, and work poorly. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the ideal remedy. It purifies and vitaIizes the blood, overcomes that tired feeling, sharpens the appetite, aids digestion, and makes life worth living. Buy bottle and begin to take it today. Accept no substitute.
