How Much They Suffer When Nervous ,
Weak and Tired.
This Condition is Directly Due to Thin and
Insufficient Blood ,
Feed the Nerves on Pure Blood -by TakingHood's Sarsaparilla.
NorvotiiJ prostration Is a lingering , racking ,
living death to those allllcted , though wholly
Incomprehensible to others. The nights arc
long and sleepless , the days are full ot suffer
ing. The weak eyes cannot read , the un
steady hands have lost their cunning. There
pecms to l no Joy , no comfort , nothing left
but Indescribable and unpltled misery.
What Is the cause of this lamentable con
dition and what Its remedy ? Consider the
nerves. They are. the organs of sensation ,
extending to every part ot the body. They
are fed and nourished by the blood , and
when the blood Is Impure the nourishment Is
Insufficient and Improper ; then the nerves
grow weaker and weaker and the buffering
must become more -and more Intense.
This Is the natural , truthful , scientific
statement of the case , and It shows that
the cure for nervousness must come from
enriched and purified blood. Make the
blood pure , giveIt vitality and It will prop
erly feed the nerves nnd make them strong.
Hood's Sarsaparllla cures nervousness because -
cause It acts directly upon the blood , making
it rich and pure and endowing It with vital
ity and strength-giving power. No other
medicine has such a record of cures. Thou
sands write that they suffered intensely with
nervousness and were cured by this great
medicine. The bulldlng-up powers of Hood's
Sarsaparllla are wonderful. Even a few doses
are sufficient to create an appetite , and from
that tlmo on its healing , purifying , strength
ening cffE-cts are plainly felt. The 'nerves '
become stronger , the tlecp becomes natural
nnd refreshing , the hands and limbs become
steady , and soon "life seems to go on without
effort , " and perfect health Is restored. Such
la the work which Hood's Sarsaparllla is
doing for hundreds of women today.
If you arc a sufferer Hood's Sarsaparllla
la the medicine you need. It will give
strength and health and make life ones more
worth living.
work. They know whnt It means to It vc
a deslro to accomplish' their ordinary duties ,
and yet be obliged to give up for the day be-
catiso they have not the physical strength to
go forward. The trouble In such case'J Is
lack of vitality due to an Impoverished con
dition of the blood. What they need Is the
blood cleansing anil Invigorating properties
of Hood's Sarsaparllla. A fe vcbottlea of
this great medlclno will give them renewed
energy and abundant strength for the duties
of life.

To many women spring nnd Its duties
mean an aching head , tired limbs nnd throb
bing nerves. Just as the milder weather
conies the strength begins to wane nnd "that
tired feeling" Is the complaint of nil.
The reason for this condition Is found In
the deficient quality of the Wool , During
the winter , owing to various causes , the blood
becomes loaded with Impurities and loses 1(9 (
richness and vitality. Consequently , as soon
as the bracing effect of cold air is lost , there
Is languor and a lack of energy. The euro
will bo found In purifying and enriching ths
blood.
Hood's Sarsaparllla Is the greatest and
best meJIclnebecause It
spring - is the great
est and best blood purifier. It overcomes
that tired feeling because It makes pure
rich blooJ. It gives strength to nerves
and muscles because It endows the blood
with new powers of nourishment. It cre
ates an appetite , tones and strengthens tha
stomach and digestive organs , and thus
builds up the whole system nnd prepares
It to meet the change to warmer weather.
Hood's Sarsaparllla Is a medicine upon
which you may depend. It Is the only
true blood purifier prominently before the
public eye today. It has a record of cures
unequalled In the history of medicine. It ls

health. Take It now.

Adjuttuit Howe Complaint thut Kuymomi
llrus. Are Not 'lotltii ; I'ulr.
LINCOLN , April 10. ( Special. ) Mart
Howe , lately appointed adjutant of the Sol
diers' and Sailors' home , Grand Island , is
Just now having some Interesting correspond
ence with Haymond Bros. , grocers of this
city. This firm was among the successful
bidders for supplies for the home in the way
of dried fruits. According to the Raymonds
Adjutant Howe has rejected entirely a bill
of goods shipped to the home , amounting to
about $200. Howe complains that much of
the fruit sent up there Is , as he states to
Governor Holcomb , "Inhabited. " Th ; assort
ment furnished the home consisted of dried
or evaporated apples , apricots , berries , etc.
The other side of the story , as told by one
of the Haymond Bros. , Is to the effect that
the fruit furnished Is a prime article , and
all according to contract and samples shown
to the Hoard of Purchases and Supplies.
Hay-nond says that all dried fruits , espe
cially berries , if placed under a magnifying
glass , will reveal Insscts. In one of Ad
jutant Howe's complaints ho speaks cf a
consignment/of raisins which were not "four
crown" standard. In explaining this Haymon I
says that It Is true that the ra'sins are not ,
but that the "three crown" bran ] are better
nnd will last longer In hot weather. He says
the "four crown" raisins are richer. Juicier
and more liable to sour. Upon the matter of
difference In price between the two gradei
the representative cf the Haymond house Is
silent. It is understood that the "four
crown" grade was the kind contracted for.
Raymond was at the governor's olllce today
trying to explain matters. Haymond further
admits that all the goods sent were not Ne
braska packed , as stipulated for in tiie con
tract , but he explains this by saying that
there was not enough Nebraska pack In
stock , and he waa obliged to fill up with
other brands. It Is not known what will be
the result ot this complication , but It Is
thought that the Soldiers' home authorities
will hardly recede from the position assumed
by Adjutant Howe.
