Ernest Kleeschulte Shoots His Wife and Two
Sons and Then Commits Suicide-Terrible
End of a Petty Quarrel—A Missouri Farm-
arts Crazy Wife Kills a Hired Man, Etc.
A Family's Awful End.
8t. Louis, Mo., April 27.—Krnest Kleeschulte
io-day shot his wife and two boys, aged
Í and 3 years, and then committed suicide.
The two separated two years ago aud since that
time Mrs.Kleeschulte had been living six inilea
aorth of this city, where the terrible tragedy
accurred. Kleeschulte had made threats a
re*r *g° that he would kill bis wife.

ing the morning meal, and, without a word of
warning, pulled a revolver and sent a bullet

£liot by a "Woman,
tp.rLLicoTne, Mo., April 27.—A sensational
m «""der occurred near this city last nitrbt in
Which a farm laborer named Jack Santclif!
was killed by the wife of his employer, Lewis
Nero. Accounts of the origin of the trouble
are conflicting, but from the best information
obtainable ft was an unprovoked murder, the
ouly palliation being that the woman may be
temporarily insane.
Santcliit was a married man and with his
wire lived in the house with Nero. Yesterday
Nero took offense at some trivial matter.
L 'at night Nero, ¡Santcliff and another mau
parted to town aud just atter leaving the
bouse Mrs. Nero appeared at the door and
shot Santcliff in the back, from which he
died early this morning. All the party are
recent arrivals here, the Neros being lately
from Chvenne, Neb., and the £antcliiTs from
Savannah, Mo., where thev were married last
Christinas day.
Mrs. Neró recently gave birth to a child and
her mind had at times since that event been
Undoubtedly unsettled. She claims to re-
member nothing of the killing. The wife of
the deceased says Mrs. Nero threatened to
shoot her yesterday, but afterward became
more calm and asked her to Kiss and make up,
but said that if she had such a husband as
áantcliff site would shoot him.
Nero claims that his wife is insane, but a
roroner's jury held her to answer for murder,
tnd she is now in custody.
Gas Causes Havoc.
PChicago, III., April 26.—An explosion that
pitchcd seventy people into the air, throwing
one man fifty feet, wrecked seventeen large
plate glass windows, ruined $35.000 worth of
clothing, damaged a building $15,000 and
caused a stampede of hundreds of people
from the upper stories of tall buildings, oc-
curred in the basement on State and Jackson
streets this evening. Queer enough, no one
was killed, although two or three may be fa-
tally injured.
Two workmen were drilling a hole across
the street from the basement to inake a con-
duit for electric light wires and accidently
punctured a ges main. They lit a candle to
see what was the matter with the drill and
the next instant they and seventy odd clerks
and customers, In ttie clothing store over-
head, the massive plate trlass front and great
piles of ready made clothing, were mixed up
in an almost inextricable mass with broken
timbers and falling plaster, while people for
blocks around thouirht an earthquake had oc-
curred and rushed to the 6cene.
The fire was quickly extinguished by the
department. Two workmen In the basement
were found to be very badly Injured and three
or four clerks in the 6tore above were injured
Internally. One of them, George Dunlop,
when the explosion occurred, was standing
on a hot air register and was thrown fullv
fiftv feet, lauding on a pile of goods. Hit
back is badly Injured.
bis Machino Works Destroyed.
Boston, Mass., April 26.—The Atlantic ma-
chine works, corner of Boarder and Maver-
ick streets, were burned this morning, caus-
ing an estimated loss of $150.000. The fire
started in the pattern shop and the supposi-
tion is that it caught from the wires of an arc
electric light. Assistance was asked from the
city proper and from Chelsea, but before it
arrived the flames had made great headway.
The rear portion of the building was de-
stroyed, ami a scene of great excitement was
caused when the walls fell in, carrying with
them all the machinery and completely de-
stroying the engine room. It required the
greatest energy to prevent the fire spreading
to the adjoiuing building. Four workaien
were Injured and one of them, Robert Cas-
sidy, will die. The loss is probably covered
by insurance.
Forests and Farm Trees Ablnze.
' Canajohakie, n. y., April 26.—Late to-
night an immense forest fire is raging at Big
Nose along the line of the New York Central
railroad and is rapidly licking up trees and
shrubbery. Farmers are fiirhting for their
homes with doubtful success. The fire was
started by sparks from a locomotive.
French Notes.
Paris, April 25.—A majority of the deputies
for the Seine diet have signed a message tc
the electors condemning the Boulangists
movement. The senators for that department
haye been asked to attach their signatures tc
the manifesto. The threatened split among
the Boulangists seems to have been averted.
LaCoc'irde officially announces that Gener-
al Boulanger will not be nominated for other
constituencies.
General Boulanger has issued invitations to
a political dinner at the Cafe Hiche on Fri-
day.
The report of the committee of the cham-
ber of deputies vbich considered the Panama
lottery loan proposal, recommeuds that per-
mission be immediately (riven to the company
to issue the loan, and expresses confidence in
the earlv completion of the canal.
President Carnot ha# imparted to the coun-
cil the purport of the speech which he in-
tends to deliver at Bordeaux.
The chamber of deputies fixed Thursday for
the discusiou of the Panama canal lottery
loan.
Hurled Alive.
Yonkers, April 25.—A frightful accident
occurred here this afternoon. A gang of
men were working in a sewer trench, which
is sixteen feet deep, when a water pipe burst,
causing the sides of the ditch to cave in and
quickly filling the trench with earth and
tgid water. Six of the laborers are known to
have been buried alive. One poor fellow was
burisd, all but his head, and made the most
piteous appeals for help, but he was cover-
ed by the caving earth and perished. At
•bout 9 o'clock four bodies were unearthed.
The names of the dead are: Patrick Kennedy,
Reuben Osean, M. Flynn, Michael Vail,
Michael Kennedy. Another of the laborers
ia missing.
A Political Sensation.
Pittsburgh, April 23.—The Chronicle- Tde-
graph editoriallv to-day claims to have infor-
mation of a bold scheme to control the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. The plan is to
stampede the convention for Mr. Blaine with
the expectation that if he does refuse the
nomination, his declination will not oe received
until after the adjournment of the conven-
tion. In this event the uational committee
will be called upon to name the mau. The
committee, it is claimed, is controlled by
those at the bottom of the scheme, men who
were brought into political prominence by
their association with Mr. Blaine in previous
campaigns. In fairness to the claims of the
eminent Republicans who are not candidates,
if Mr. Blaine will not accept the nomination,
that gentleman is urged to reaffirm his posi-
tion before the convention assembles.
CONGRESSIONAL
' SUMCART Or PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, April 23.—Among the peti-
tion presented and referred were two from the
state of Kansas—one in favor of an import
tax on raw silk and the other to make good
to the officers and soldiers of the late war the
difference detween gold and the gold value
of the greenback in which they were paid.
Among the bills reported from committees
i were the following: To authorize the con-
struction of a bridge across the Arkansas riv-
er at Little Rock; providing that the pub-
lic lands in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkan*
sas, now subject to private entry, should be
disposed of according to the provisions of
the homestead laws only until pending lesi^
lation affecting such lands should be dis-
posed of, or until the present session of con-
gress should adjourn; to authorize the sale
of a tract of land on the military reservation
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The bill pro-
hibiting the making in Washington or George-
town of books or pools on trotting or running
races or boat races or base ball was taken from
the calendar and passed. The house bill for
the 6ale of certain New York Indian lands in
Kansas was taken from the calendar and
passed. The bouse bill for the relief of the
First national bank of Portland, Ore., (appro-
priating $8,249 for money advanced to a con-
tractor for building a revenue cutter in 1875-6)
was taken from the calendar, amended by
adding several items for ship carpenters, etc.,
in connection with the same contract and
passed When the house met, the senate
laid before it an invitation to participate in
the celebration of the centennial anniversary
of the inauguration of George Washington,
to be held in New York city, April 30, 1889.
The pending business coming over from the
Friday night's session was the senate bill
granting a pension of $100 a month to the
widow of General James b. Rickets with an
amendment reducing the rate to $75. After
some debate the amendment was adopted and
the bill passed. The river and harbor bill was
considered without definite action.
Washington, April 24.—The session|of the
senate was opened with prayer by the Rev.
Dr. Mendez, rabbi of the Spanish and Portu-
guese congregation of New York, who accord-
ing to the Jewish custom,wore his hat while en-
gaged in prhyer. This is the second instance
probably in the history of the government
—certainly within the last «half century—
when a Jew has offered prayer in the senate.
On motion of Mr. Harris the house bill ap-
propriating $200,000 for an arsenal at Colum-
bia, Tenn., was taken from the calendar, and
passed. The senate resumed consideration of
the international copyright bill. After a
lengthy discussion the bill went over without
action. The senate then proceeded to execu-
tive business and after the doors reopened
the following bills were passed:
For a public building at Portsmouth, o., to
cost $360,000; to amend the laws relating to
mineral lands and mineral resources; to au-
thorize the city of Chicago to crect {a crib in
Lake Michigan for waterworks purposes; to
provide a collector at the port of St. Paul
Wheu the house met Mr. Heard of Missouri,
from the committee on elections, submitted
the report in the contested election case
of Frank vs. Glover in the Ninth congress-
ional district of Missouri aud it was referred
to the house calendar. It finds the contestee,
Mr. Glover, entitled to the seat Bills were
reported and placed on the calendar for
the erection of public buildings at Chey-
enne, Wyo., and Fayetteville, n. c., and in-
creasing the appropriation for the purchase
of a site for a public building at San Francis-
eo. Mr. Anderson of Iowa, from the commit
tee on commerce, reported back a resolution
providing for the investigation of the strike
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road. The tariff bill was taken up and dis-
cussed. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, defend-
ed the Mills bill, aud Mr. Burrows, of Michi-
gan, spoke In opposition.
Washington, April 25.—The house bill giv-
ing to the city of Grand Forks, d. t., the
right to build two free bridges across the Red
River of the North, was passed with an
amendment. Mr. Mitchell offered a resolution
which was adopted, calling on the secretary oí
the treasury for copies of the reports of
Special Aeents Beecher and Tingle as to the
smuggling of opium from British Columbia.
The motion to refer the president's message
was taken up and Mr. Voorhees proceded to
address the senate thereon. He defended the
president's message and gave reasons
whv the present taxation should be lowered
and then delivered a glowing tribute to
Generals McClellan and Hancock. He con-
cluded by saying that the verdict of the.
American people in November would be that
there had been honest,capable government,for
four years past, and that it should be continued
At the conclusion of Senator Voorhees' speech,
which was delivered with great power and effect
and was listened to with interest and
attention on both sides of the
chamber, he was congratulated
upon it by many of his Democratic associates.
The matter then went over. On motion of
Senator Frye, the conference report on the
joint resolution for a conference of the
American nations wasnoncurred in and a new
conference was ordered. The animal industry
bill was laid aside and the bill to forfeit un-
earned land grants was taken up, but went
over without action and the senate adjourn-
ed The house discussed the tariff bill in
committee of the whole. No definite action
was taken.
Washington, April 26.—At the conclusion
of the morning business the presiding officer,
Mr. Ingalls, took a position on the floor
and said: "Mr. President, shortly after
the senator from Indiana, Mr. Voorhees,
began his speech vesterday, i was called
from the senate to examine and sign a large
number of enrolled bills for transmission
to the president. i had supposed from
the notice which lie gave that his speech
was to be devoted to the subject of the
tariff and finance and was therefore
somewhat surprised this morning to be ad-
vised by an item in the newspapers that i had
been, the object of the setator's animadver-
sions. a casual examination of his speech
appears to me so disclose certain omissions on
his part with regard to the relations of the
democratic party to the subject of pensions,
to the war for the preservation of the union,
to the reconstruction of the southern states,
to the solid south, to the recent election in
Louisiana, and to the issues and re-
sults of the approaching campaign, which
appear to me to justify some observa-
tions of mine in reply. i therefore
desire to give notice that on Tues-
day next at 2 p. in., if the senate will indulge
me, i will move to proceed to the consider-
ation of the resolution to refer the president's
message for the purpose of enabling me to
submit some remarks thereon." Mr.
Sherman from the conference committee on
the house joint resolution accepting the
invitation of the French republic to take part
in the international exposition in Paris
in 18s9 made a report, which was agreed to.
It fixes the amount of the appropriation at
$250,000. The senate then resumed consid-
eration of the railroad land forfeiture Dill.
Without action, the senate adjourned until
Monday The senate bill was passed for
the relief of the Omaha tribe of Indians in
Nebraska and to extend the time of payment
to purchasers of the laud of the Indians. The
house then went into committee of the whole
the tariff bill.

Sovereigns "Exchange Greetings.
London, April 2a—Queen Victoria arrived
at Iuusburek to-day on her way from Flor-
ence to Berlin and the emperor Francis Jo-
seph met her at the station. The greeting be-
tween the two sovereigns was cordial.
In deference to the wishes of her majesty
the authorities will give no official reception
upon her arrival at Charlottenburg to-mor.
Washington, April 27.—Wnen the house
met, on motion of Mr. Dnnham, of Illinois,
the senate amendment was concurred in to
house bill authorizing the city of Chicago to
crect a crib in Lake Michigan for water works
purposes. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, from the
committee on merchant mariue and fisheries,
reported and the house adopted a resolution
calling on the secretary of the treasury for
information relative to the seal fishereries
in Alaska. Alter a short dis-
cussion as to whether it was com-
petent for the house to proceed to the con-
sideration of private business, the house went
Into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer,
of Illinois, in the chair) otfthe tariff bill. After
an all day discussion the comrnitte rose and
the house took a recess until 8 p. m. At the
evening session seventeen pension bills were
passed.
Tne Late Emperor's Bequests.
Berlin, April Si.—The National Zeitung
states that the late Emperor William left a
fortune of 24,000,000 marks. Of this sum
3.000,000 marks is bequeathed to Empress
Augusta and 1,000,000 each to the grand
duchesa of Baden, the crown prince and
crown princess and Prince Henry. Prince
Henry also received an estate which was pur-
chased for him for the sum of 1,000,000 marks
by the lata emperor. a clause which was ln-
certed in the will in the emperor's 60th year
gives to Emperor Frederick 372,000 marks and
to the grand duchess of Baden 250,000 marks.
The crown treasury receivea 12,000,000 marks
and the remainder is absorbed in various be-
quests.
Defending Its l'ottled Wine.
Paris, April 23.—M. Goblet, the minister
of foreign affairs, has instructed the French
ambassador at London to inform Lord Salis-
bury, tnat the placing of a duty on bottled
wines by'the English government will lead to
reprisals.
The Marvelous Graphophone.
The instrument will be leased at $60
a year each. Leased, mark you. No
person will be allowed to own an in-
strument oat-right There seemed
reason for releasing the telephone in-
strument, for it was merely a part of a
connecting system and was useless
when disconnected. But the grapno-
phone is complete in itselt or seems
so. Perhaps the wax cylinders, which
are its chief feature will have to be
supplied periodically from a central
office, and in that way a sort of grapho-
phone system be established. Or there
may be some other way. Anyhow, the
instrument will be leased.
The graphophone is an instrument
smaller than the ordinary typewriter.
It makes a permanent record of every
sound transmitted to it. aud can repeat
the sound at any subsequent period as
many times as one pleases. Mr. Levy,
the cornet player for, instance, played
"Home Sweet Home'1 in four octaves
to the graphophone over at Mr. Lum-
bard's office, and now every stock-hold-
er or other individual who is allowed
to see the graphophone at work is
favored with "Home, Sweet Home,"
in four octaves as aforesaid. All Mr,
Lombard has to do when he wants a
tune is to take out whatever wax cyl-
inder happens to be in the in-
strument at the moment and
insert in its place the wax
cylinder that there was when Mr. Levy
was playing. You just press a button
and the brass band begins to play. In
this way one of Patti's $1,000 songs
can be repeated 500 times at pleasure.
Five hundred is about the limit. After
that the wax begins to chip, and the
graphophone gets hoarse. And thus
Patti's songs can be handed down to
future generations.—Netv York Sun.
Misanthropic Wills.
The Vienna papers publish the will
of a half-pay Austrian officer, which
has created considerable amusement.
He leaves his fortune to his nephew,
who has a situation in the postoffice,
on condition that he shall never, on
any condition, indulge in his favorite
occupation of reading newspapers.
The old gentleman institutes three per-
sons his trustees, whose duty it will be
to watch his luckless heir, and, in case
of a single infringement of the will,
dispose of his property to other mem-
bers of his family. The said property
consists of two houses, money in the
funds and a landed estate.
An other curious will story comes to
hand from the sister capital—Berlin. A
poor citizen of the big town on the
Spree was recently left some 100,000
marks. Thinking none of I1Í3 friends
worthy of it, he at last determined to
leave it to a bitter enemy, who had a
large family and no money except his
daily earnings. Ho made his will to
that effect; lie made it a condition,
however, that the heir should always
wear thin white linen clothes and no
extra underclothing. Should that con-
dition be violated even oncc the money
goes to the hospitals.—St. Stephens Re-
view.
THEY TOOK IN THE TOWN.
mmSnSSmSmEm
Likewise Fifteen Thousand Dollars.
New Orleans (La.) Picayune, March 24.
In the list of arrivals of distin-
guished people from the North last
week at the St. Charles Hotel appears
the names of Frank B. Godard and M.
F. Mock. These gentlemen who hail
from the ice-bound region of East Sag-
O o
inaw, Mich., paid their maiden visit to
the Crescent City under circumstances
peculiarly interesting and agreeable to
themselves. Indeed, it is questionable
whether the pleasure of their visit
could have been expected at all had the
motive power been other than what it
was—viz: The Louisiana State Lottery.
To the revolutions of the wheels in
the monthly drawings of ths great cor-
poration is directed the eager attention
of hundreds of thousands of people in
all parts of the United States, and the
publication of drawn prizes is a signal
for departure from many big cities and
little towns of men and women whose
objective point is New Orleans with
expenses prepaid.
When they get here they all appear
to be glad they came, for the climate
is balmy, flowers are fragrant, straw-
berries toothsome, and the cash of The
Louisiana State Lottery Company ac-
ceptable.
Messrs. Godard and Mock were
among the last band of pilgrims to this
Mecca of the fortune hunter. Both
were interested in the fractional part of
ticket 51,570, which, Tuesday, March
13, drew the first capital prize of $300,-
000, and tliey divided $15,000 between
themselves. Both are identified with
the business of East Saginaw, Mr.
Godard being :i dealer in wines and
liquors, while Mr. Mock is an engineer
on the Flint and Pere Marquette Rail-
road.
Michigan can now justly claim to be
champion State prize winner in The
Louisiana State Lottery. Within the
past year and a half Muskegon,
through Chas. J. Herrmann and Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. Campbell, has person-
ally represented collected capital przes,
while Detroit, Grand Rapids and other
points have drawn through banks and
express companies. Messrs. Godard
aud Mock left for home last Wednes-
day, thoroughly satisfied with their
visit to the land of fortune and flowers.
Corraled By Sharks.
A dinghy with grass from Dwarka
foundered not very far from Bate, a
port on the Dutch coast, while she was
on her way to Karachi, when the crew,
consisting of seven, took to the mast
which had unshipped. At the time she
foundered the vessel was very close to
the shore, and the crew were gradually
working their way toward the beach,
when one of their number was heard
to shriek and immediately disappear,
and the others, to theit horror, realiz-
ed that they were surrounded by
sharks, with no means of escaping, as
the mast not only gave with their
weight, but could not be kept steady on
account of the rough state of the sea.
The men were in a state of anxiety
and fear, not knowing whose turn
j would come next. One by one the men
j suddenly disappeared until only one re-
! mained, and by this t;me the storm
having subsided, he managed to bal-
ance himself steadily on the mast,
which drifted toward the beach on
the following day. He was thus tossed
about on the sea, expecting every
moment to be his last for two days
and a night—Sind Times.
« The receipts of potatoes at New Tqpk con-
tiene to be simply enormous. One steamer
recently brought as a cargo 21,320 barrels, not-
wnhsfai|ding it is late in the season, when a
falling oil should be expected. During a re-
peat week the receipts of foreign potatoes at
Hew York were 72,384 barrels, against 23,985
tends for the corresponding week in 18S7.
"Didn't Know It Was Loaded.'1
The young man fell dead!
A friend had pointed a revolver al
* him.
"He didn't know it was loaded!'*
We often hear it stated that a man is
not responsible for what he does not
know. The law presupposes knowl-
edge and therefore convicts the man
who excuses crime by ignorance!
"If I had only known" has often
been an unfortunate man's apology
for some evil unknowingly wrought
but in a matter of general interest—as
for instance that laudanum is a poison,
that naphtha is a deadly explosive, that
blood heavily charged with a winter's
accumulations of the waste of the sys-
tem.—it is one's duty to know the fact
and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for in-
stance, that the opening of spring was
the most perilous period of the year.
Why ?
Because then the blood stream is
sluggish and chilled by the cold weath-
er, and if not thinned a good deal and
made to flow quickly and healthfully
through the arteries and veins, it is im-
possible to have good vigor the rest of
the year. Hence, without exception,
what is now known as Warners Log
Cabiu Sarsaparilla, was plentifully
made and religiously given to every
member of the family regularly through
March, April, May and June. It is a
matter of record that this prudential,
preventive and restorative custom
saved many a fit of sickness, prolonged
life and happiness to a vigorous old
age, and did away with heavy medical
expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington,
Ky., used Warner's Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla "for nervous sick headache of
which I had been a sufferer for years,
it has been a great benefit to me."
Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1114 S. 15th St,
Ph.ladelpbia, Pa., says "it purified my
blood and removed the blotches from
my skin." Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton,
Berks Co.. Pa., says she "was entirely
cured of a skin disease of the worst
kind," bv Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad
skin indicates a very bad condition of
the blood.
If you would live and be well, go to
your druggist to-day and get Warner's
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no
other,—there's nothing like it or as
good,—and completely renovate your
impaired system with this simple, old-
fashioned preparation of roots and
herbs.
Warner, who makes the famous Safe
Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee
of excellence all over the known world.
Take it yourself and give it to the
other members of the family, including
the children. You will be astonished
at its health-giving and life-prolouging
powers. We say this editorially with
perfect confidence, because we have
heard good things of it everywhere,
and its name is a guarantee that it is
first class in every particular.
Efforts arc being made to Improve the Irish
butter export trade, which, owing to foreign
competition and a want of propper attention
by farmers in the process of manufacture, has
been more or less depressed for some time
past. The greater portion of the County of
Limerick includes some of the finest dairy
lands in Ireland, and until recently the local
market ranked next to Cork in the quantity,
and far surpassed it in the quality, of the but-
ter which it sends every week.

Deafness Can't Be Cured
by local applications, as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is cansad by an in-

Enstachain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed,
you have a rumbling Bound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and nnless the inflammation can be

The most remarkable thing in business Unes
is the Moxie Company, in Lowell. It is said the
sales in little more than two years are over
7,(00,000 bottles. This liquid food jS remarkable,
if we may believe what is said about it. Lately,
the athletes, actors and actresses, and heavy
business men have taken to it like mad. Yester-
day word came from Maiden that it had raised
an old case of helpless paralysis, and another in
Lowell. If this is so, Moxie is all right, with

That Tired Feeling
Íether with scabs from ulcers; the voice be-
ig changed and having a nasal twang; the
breath offensive; smell and taste impaired;
experience a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough, and gen-
eral debility, then you are suffering from
chronic nasal catarrh. Only a few of the
above named symptoms are likely to be pres-
ent in any one case at one time, or in one
stage of the disease. Thousands of esses an-
nually, without manifesting half of the above
symptoms, result in consumption and end in
the grave. No disease is so common, more
deceptive and dangerous, less understood or
more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
The manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy offer, in good faitb, $500 reward for a
case of catarrh which they cannot cure. The
Remedy is sold by druggists at only gg cents.

IS experienced by almost every one at this
and many people resort to Hood's Sarsaparilla to
drive away the languor and ezhaostloa. The Mood,
laden with imparities which have been accumulating
for months, moves sluggishly through the velaa, the
mind falls to think quickjy, and the body Is still
Slower to respond. Hood's Saraaparilla Is Jnst what
is needed. It purifies, vitalizes, and enriches the
hjood, makes the hesd clear, creates an appetite,
overcomes that tired feeling, tones the nervosa ays-
tem, and Imparts new strength and vicor to the
whole body. •
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is proven to be so vastly superior to sny other sarsa-
parilla, or blood parlfler, that one has well aaid: "Its
health-giving effects upon the blood and entire hu-
man organism are as much more positive than the
remedies of a Quarter of a century ago as the steam
power of to-day is an advance of the slow and labori-
ous drudgery of years ago."
Nearly everybody needs a good spring meClefn*
like Hood's Sarsaparilla to expel Impurities which
accumulate In the blood during the winter, keep up
strength as warm weather comes on, create aa ay*
petite and promote healthy digestion. Try Hood*a
aud yon will he convinced of its peculiar
merits. It Is the ideal sprlag medicine—reliable,
beneficial, pleasant to take, and gives full valae for
the money.
"I take Hood's Sarsaparilla as a spring tonic, and I
recommend It to all who have that miserable tired
feeling." C. Fauui, 849 Bridge street. Brooklyn,
