Hoods Satsaparilla cleanses the Blood,
Skin Troubles Vanish

Scrofula cruptions on the face and
body are both annoying and dishguring.
Many a complexion would be perfect II
they were not present.
This disease shows itself in other ways
as punches in the neck, inhamod eyelids,
sore ears, wasting OF the muscles, form
of dyspepsia, and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sarsapa'
rlla. This great medicine completely
cradicates scrdfula. II puriiies and en-.
riches the blood, removes humors, and
builds up the whole system. 1t embodies
the careful training, experience, and skill
Of Mr.. Hood, pharmacist for fifty years,
in its quality and power to cure.
Scrofula is either inherited or acquired.
Better be sure you are quite free from

81 sometimes wonder, when reading
the various schemes for the rehabili-
tation of our American merchant ma
rine. how the great shore public thinks
that the spirit of seamanship is sud
denly going to be rehabilitated, writes
Lincoln Colcord, in the North Ameri-

far more than a fleet of ships; it is
quite as much the men who run them,
as the ships themselves; but, above ALL
it is the concrete expression of an ex-
tensive maritime impulse and activity
in the nation at large. A non-mari-
time nation may suppose that if it
takes a notion to build a fleet of
steamers, it will have a merchant ma
