Purity Gives Power.

There are stll persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purcr the blood is the
greater is the power Of the system to
remove disease and the less the liability
to contract it. Persons whose blood is
in good condition are much less likely to
take cold or TO be long troubled with
it, or to catch any contagious or in
fectious disease, than are those whose
blood is impure and therefore impov-
crished and lacking in vitality. The
best medicine for purifying the blood
is Hood S Sarsaparlla, and persons suf
