The Superiority Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is due to the tremendous amount of brain work and constant care used in its prepa- ration. Try one bottle and you will be convinced of its superiority. It purifies the blood which, the source of health, cures dyspepsia overcomes sick headaches and biliousness. It is just the medicine for you.

There is nothing marvelous in the fact that Hood’s Sarsaparilla should cure so many diseases When you remember that a majority of the dis orders “flesh is heir to” are due to impure or poisonous condition of the blood, and that Hood’s Sarsapa rilla is an effective and radical blood purifier, the whole thing is explained. Besides its blood purifying quah- ties, Hood’s Sarsaparilla also contains the best known vegetable stomach tonies, diuretics, kidney remedies and liver invigorants, and is thus an excellent specific for all disorders of these organs, as well as for low con- dition of the system, or That Tired Feeling. who have been in! ie | turned to their home in Butler the | he purchased a Ranch in California, | 100 per acre, and was offer underwear at Joe Meyer's clothing | ust your “HIARE OWHERE Che f no v TEEN swe neve?

To a reporter he said his son, 7 years of age, who | met with an accident Thursday of | last week. by the hind wheel of atwo horse wagon, loaded with dirt, pass- | ing over his chest, was up and run- \ning around. Thecaptain said when | the accident happened the wagon | was loaded with about 2,000 pounds lof dirt and was going down hill. The little fellow ran between the wheels to climb ow and was knocked down and the hind wheel passed di- agonally over his breast. The ribs of the lad were pressed down on the lungs and for an hour or more the boy suffered agonizing pain. For- | tunately no bones were broken and jwhen Dr. Christy arriyed he soon |relieved the lungs by placing his hands on either side of the chest and forcing the ribs back to their natural position. It is remarkable how the little fellow escaped instant death.

A Bright Lad, Ten years of age, but who declines to give his name to the public, makes this authorized, confidential statement to us: “When I was one year old, my mamma died of consumption. The doctor said that I, too, would soon die, and all our neighbors thought that even if J did not die, 1 would never be able to walk, because I was so weak and puny. A gathering formed and broke under my arm. I hurt my finger and it gathered and threw out pieces of bone. If I hurt myself so as to break the skin, it was sure to become a running sore.
