A Good Practice
Noutii Platte Nobr Nov 20 1899J
Mrs W E Goodwin box H7J this
place says she always has tho very best
of health but sho attributes it largely
to the fact that they make a practice of
keeping the blood pure with Hoods
Sarsaparilln It has boon used in tho
family for years and is believed to have
no equal It is the best medicine money
can buy
A Cheerful Look
Makes aDishaFeast
44 Cheerful looks depend
just as much upon physical
well being as upon natural
disposition and temperament
If the blood is disordered the
brain is starved and no
4 dish is a feast for the
reason that the vitalizing ele
ments do not reach the proper
spot A step in the right direction is to
purify the body by the use of a natural
remedy Hoods Sarsaparilla is Natures
remedy It acts upon the blood and
ivhether the seat of the disorder is brain
stomach liver or kidneys the purifying
process of this medicine is equally sure
and successful
Pain in Back Stone cutters like
myself have pains in back and kidney
