4''Well, what's up now, Adam?"
Adam had suddenly ceased paddling
forward, and began to back water vigorously,
at the same time keeping his eyes
fixed on a white object floating in the
water at the edge of the stream. Without
answering the question he swung the
canoe shoreward,and in a moment leaped
out and held the white object np for inspection.
It was a female salmon of about
ten pounds weight, which from its appearance
could not have been dead more
than a few hours. Some sharp object
had gashed her right side making a wound
into which Adam thrust two of his thick
fingers.
"What did it?"
"Poachers."
-When:"
"Last night. These infernal French
Canadian settlers will persist in burning j
the water during the spawing season, j
although they know that if caught they j
are liable to go to thy penitentiary for it, !
and nothing but a dose of lead will stop i
them. Suppose we lay over to-night and
fill their hides with b.rd-shot:"
'Burning the water.'"
"Yes, that's what they call it. It is i
nothing but pulling over the spawning- I
beds in a light canoe, with a pitch-pine !
torch in the bowfand speariug the lish j
as they lie quietly on bottom. About j
every third throw wounds a fish instead ,
of killing it, and the pjor beast swims j
away to die, just as this oue has done." |
"Certainly, we shall put a stop to that !
kind of thing. Let us go into camp :
right here."
It was the afternoon of the 13th (Sunday).
A party of three of us had leased
the right to fish one of the little salmon
rivers just south of the Saguenay, paying
$250 for the privilege for the season, and
myself and the Major were making a preliminary
survey of the water, as it were,
from sourcc to mouth, in order to get :
some idea of the spoit awaiting us when
we came up to camp out in earnest m
July. The thiec-mile limit imposed on
United States coast fishermen by the Canadian
Government made us particularly
sore against the Canadian poachers, who
were not only fishing a river paid for in
good United States silver dollars, but
who were doing so illegally and in an inhuman
manner.
Adam knew what he was about, and
declared that the light charge of powd *r
upon which he rammed iaome a handful
of No. 3 shot was not too heavy, but just
V* t?r. AnAnnrlt fa Coiul f V? O ll'tlp

through the thick hide of any poacher
whom we might come across.
It was eight o'clock and dark as a
black cat when we began moving up
stream toward the gravelly beds whereon
we had observed salmon earlier in the
day. Tho ragged I. irches and piues
which form the mass of the forests along
Canadian streams, have a mournful air,
even in day-time; but when indistinctly
seen at night, and when nothing is heard i
but the lapping of the black water over
the stones, they arelunereal. Once Adam
stopped slipping hh ] addle in and out
of tho water to point toward a couple of
sparks on the left I auk. They glistened
o m/vmnnf -mrl TTPnt- nilf
"That was a deer." whispered Adam.
"If the Frenchmen .-aw it they would try
a shot at it. in season or not. Tho-e fellows
cannot understand anything but a
dose of bird-shot. They know t'.iat
means that their company is not wanted.
A larger spark directly ahead of us
soon resolved it>e!f into a brightly burning
fire, and, by keeping close to the
weed-fringed bank, we managed to steal
up clo.-e enough not only to see that the
fire was burning in th cauo? of a '"habitant,"
but to watch him at his unholy
work. The circle of light in which he
sat made the suuoan ling darkness impenetrable,
and his absorption in the
work at hand closed his ears.
The canoe was floating gently with the
i*nrrftnf o ahoI* rtf tlto Ira ninrr
VUI.VKV, ? V. ? r;-t>
its head right, and the Canuck wasgft'.ing
with all his eyes into the water over the
side. Suddenly he lifted himself to his
feet, and, like th'j lunge of a steel bow,
his right arm shot out and sent a spear
hissing into tie river. When he drew
-the spear back by means of a cord fastened
to the shaft we .'aw a beautiful fish
writhing on the weapon. It was strung
half way dovvu the spear handle.
The "sportsman's" aim had been true,
and the tish was struck fairly in the back.

that swims had that single spear-thrust
destroyed?
I was asking myself that question when
the report of Adam's .shotgun rang out
over the water. There was a howl from
the fire-cam e, and tlr n the habitant sat
down so suddenly that the frail shell
turned under h'm. and the poacher and
the light went o it simultaneously. "We
heard hirn splashing about and swearing
in the darkn ss for the next five miuut:s.
"We may now go," remarked Adam.

to pass ilie nets in order to reach the

The Seventeen-Year Locust.
The seventeen-year locust i^n't a locust
at all. This may seem a strange
tningto say, but it is true, nevertheless.
The locust looks very much like a grasshopper,
while the seventeen-year cicada,
which is the insect's proper name, looks
* * fl-ton
I a yreat deal more use a^uuui, uj WJ<4U I
anything else.
| Just fancy spending the best part of
j j'our life prowling about in the darkness
| underground and then coming up into
, the sunlight with a gorgeous pair of
I wings, only to d e in a short time!
j Tnat is what the seventeen-year cicada
I docs. In the very first pine?, it is an
' CSS which its mother deposits in a tiny
hole in a twig. In a few weeks it makes
j its way out of the <gg and drops to the
ground, into which it burrows, and in
[ which it remains for seventeen years before
it is prepared for life above ground.
"When, at last.it is ready for the bright
sunlight, it may be one foot from the
surface or it may be ten feet deep in the
ground. In either case it begins to dig
upward until it finds its way out. when
it climbs up the nearest tree and fastens
itself by its sharp claws to a leaf or
twig. There it waits until its back splits
open, and behold! it immediately crawls
out of itself, so to speak.
The new insect is a soft, dull fellow at
first, but he grows as if he had been
storing up energy for seventeen years,
for just that one purpose. Within an
hour, two pairs of most beautiful wings
* ? ? ,1 ? f. ^ Innpc mors it
nave gruwu, <uiuju .? ? ?
has become hard and active.
The female cicadas are quiet enough,
but the males are as noisy as so many
little boy6 with new drums. Indeed,
they do have drums themselves. Just
under their wings are drums made of
shiny membrane as beautiful as white
silk, and these are kept rattling almost
all the time.
One ci ada can make noise enough;
but imagine the din of millions of them
ail going at the same time. It sounds as
if all the frogs in the country had come
together to try to drown the noise of a
saw-mill. Now it is the saw-mill you
hear, and now the fro<js.
It sounds like a bi^ story to say milif
von could e-o into the woods
where they arc, you might be willing to
say billiors. I have counted over a thousand
cast-off shells on one small tree,
and on one birch leaf I have seen twelve
shells. And the earth in some place* is
like a sieve from the holes made by the
cic da*..
But within a few weeks from the insects'
first appearance their eggs have
be< n laid and the cicadas have all died.
A great many of them are eaten by the
birds and chickens, but most of them
simply cannot live any longer.?St Nicholas.
The Passage of tlie Forts..
Captain Beverley Kennon, who commanded
the Confederate gun-boat, Governor
Moore, and helped in fighting Farrfto-ut
below New Orleans, has a paper in
the Century, from which ve quota as follows:
"The evening prevf uis to the battle
I reported to Uene>ai Duncan, the
commander of the two forts, my observations
on the enemy's movements as
seen by myself from the mast-head. Yet
to my knowledge no picket boat was sent
down by us, or any means adopted to
watch the enemy and guard against surprise.
The result was they were abreast
the forts before some of our vessels fired
a shot. In a few moment this space was
filled with smoke from the guns and exploded
shells, intensifying the darkness
of the night. A slackening of the fire
on both sides was necessary, since neither
could distinguish friend from foe. In

until directly upon it, when it was as
soon lo*tto view, yet the U. S. squad ion
steamed a'icad, blinfoldcd, as it were,
through the darkness and confusion,soon
to find themselves in places of absolute
safety and with comparatively few casualties.
"At about 3:"0 a. m. (April 24, 18G2)
an unusual noise down the river attracted
my attention. As we expected to be
attacked at any moment, I descended the
la-.lder to near the water, where I distinctly
heard the patldles of a steamer
(the Miss'ssippi). I siw nothing on
reaching the deck, but instantly fired
the after gun, the one forward being fired
by the sentry there; at the same moment
the water batteries of Fort Jackson and
Fo.t St. Phillip let drive, followed in an
instant bv a ceneral discharge from all
the available guns in the forts, and both
batteries of the advancing fleet,mounting
two hundred and forty-two guns, and
j Commander Porter's squadrom of seven
vessels mounting seventy-two guns, which
j attacked Fort Jackson's flank below the
| obstructions. There was abo a splendid
practice from nineteen Federal mortars,
! which fired their thirteen-inch shells at
intervals (between the vessels) of ten
seconds
' The bursting of every description of
shells quickly following tlu-ir discharge,
increased a hundred-fold the terrific
noise and fearfully grand and magnificent

The President's Fortune.
The Washington Sunday Capitol says
that the Pre-i tent's salary is paid liitn in
monthly installments? $4,100.00 r.n the
last day of each month?and the treasurer
always makes it a point to send him
notes of the latest issue. Mr. Cleveland,
as his predecessors have done, keeps a
private bank account with Higgs & Co.,
and makes a deposit the first of every
month, reserving enough of his salary to
pay current expanses and siting a good
example by putting the rest aside f?.r a
rainy day. I am told that his arcounl

as he has an income aside from his ofli
cial salary. While lie never ha-; been a
money getter he has earned in his profession
all lie as ever made. -Mr. Cleveland
has an economical disposition, and
no luxurious tastes like his immediate !
prod cessor. Before he entered public '
life lie was making lrom $10,000 to $l-?,- I

have lived like a lord. His expenses, I
am told, \ve:c never more than $2,i>00 a
year and lie enjoyed himself as much a3
most men do.
Ilis frugal habits were acquired in !
youth, for he was not born with a j
golden, or even a f-ilver, spoon in his j
mouth, and he has found his pleasure in '
hard work. The President's Buffalo
friends estimate that he was worth from
$00,000 to $?'>,000 when he w .s elected,
and has already increased that amount
considerably by profitable investments
and by the surplus of his salary. i
WALL STREET.
HOW THE GREAT MONEY MART'S
TREASURE IS GUARDED.
The Financial Centre a District Ta
boood to Professional Thieves?
Some Heavy Robberies?The
New Detective System.
A moderately stout middle-age 1 man.
with closely cropped small vrbiskers,
gold-rimmcd eyeglasses, and sedatel}
respectable raiment, entered the office of
the Dctective Bureau at Police Headquarters
one recent afternoon aiad said to
Inspector Byrnes: "I want to go down
on Nassau street, near Pine, to-morrow
to see my lawyer."
He did not say it in a confidential way,
for it was heard by the reporter talking
with the Inspector a momcut before and
still standing near. And he looked like
the sort of pecunious old fellow who
might want to see a lawyer about 6ome
real estate transaction, or perhaps the
making of his will. It would not have
been surprising if the Inspector, aside
from his characteristic courtesy, had replied
with some mild paraphrase of the
response of the Bowery b'hoy to Thackeray's
cxpre.-sed wish to go to Broadway
?"Well, wliy the douce doni you go:
But it was a little puzzling to hear him
answer:
''What time?"
"At 10 o'clock."
Very well. A man will be ready here
to go with you at that time."
Could it be possible that citizens were
in the habit of claiming police protection
when going within a block of Wall
street, or did the elderly gentleman patronize
a particularly dangerous lawyer?
The applicant returned his thnnks politely,
and went out. Inspector Byrnes
resumed the interrupted thread ol" liia
*.? XT 4-1-% nm o
conversuuuu. 01 uiuu o?.cuilU
to see anything novel in the situation.
But the reporter did, and asked an explanation.
"Well," replied the Inspector, "that
man used to be a first-class bank sneakthief,
operating on Wall street, and although
he claims to have reformed, and
done nothing crooked for several years, I
don't trust him. Men who are known
as thieves, or as having been thieves, are
not allowed to go into the Wall street
district unaccompanied by an officer.
It would be dangerous for them even to
go below Fulton street, for if rccognized
they would be liable to arrest on suspicion.
Consequently, when they have
any real, legitimate business down there,
they come here, report it to me, and I
assign an officer to accompany them into
the district and see them safely out of it
again. They submit without a kick, of
conrse. What else could they do:1'
How long has that preventive policy
been in vogue;"
"Ever since the first week in which I
took charge of this burca.i. When I assumed
control, one of the early things
I did was to send for all the forgers,
sneaks, and crooks generally that used to
frequent Wall street, and lay down the
new law to them, that they must not go
down to the Wall street district any
more, except by my permission and
under the eye of one of my men. They
knew that I meant what I said, an l have
since kept very clear of any incursions
upon the tabooed grounds."
Prior to the placing of the Detective
Bureau under charge of Inspector Byrnes,
ingenious sneak thefts and successful
forgeries were by no means infrequent,
and occasionally the sums lost were exceedingly
large. Here are some, at least,
of the large losses by tLese means in
the Wall street district since the war and
prior to 1880, when a new man came
along to whom old occusions taught new
duties:
I860? A tin box containing $20\0G0was
taken from the safe of the Royal Insurant-^
Company.
186*'?The United State? Sub-Treasury lost
$43,000 by a sneak robbery.
1870?Vermilye & Co. suffered to the ex
Dene 01 Jlii,wu oy a misery.
1871?The Hopkins hafe robbery of $300.030;
the Union Trust Company robbery,
?100,000, and the Natioual Park Bank forgery,
$l'.i,000.
1873?Samuel White & Co., bankers, lost
$12,'tOO by a forgery.
1877?Th3 New York National Exchange
was robbed of $2,700, and James King & Bon,
bankers, of $140,000.
187S?James H. Young was robbed of
$200,000.
1870?Merritt Trimble was made the victim
of a sneak robbery to the extent of $28,000.
The new order of things was instituted
on March 12,1880.That was the day upon
which Inspector Byrnes was put at the
head of the detective force of the city's
police. The first thing he did, having
obtained that authority, was to go down
to Wall street and hire an office to be a
headquarters for such portion of his force
as he might assign for protec tion of capitalistic
interests thero during business
hours. The Governing Committee 01
the Stock Exchange assigned a room in
the Exchange buildrng for the use of the
dctectives. Th'.-re, from 9:30 a. m. until
4:30i\ m., every business day, sits one
of the detectives to do clerical work and
be ready t > send out in response to telephone
calls the two men who are kept
there on duty with him for such emergencies.
Meanwhile, eight other members
of the force are on lhe street, patrolling
certain established beats in the
district with the utmost exactitude, so
that the whereabouts of each of them is
known at every minute of the day The
telephone connection with the otlice enables
any banker, broker, or other business
man in the district having occasion
for their services to summon the dctectives
at once, and the man will reach the
caller's place generally in one minute,
and never more than thiee, anywhere between
Cedar street and the Produce Exchange,
Broadway and the East Kivcr.
In addition to the system described
there are special arrangiments for insuring
the safety of the millions of dollars'
worth of securities and money that
arc daily drawn from and replaced in the
safe deposit vaults under the Stock Exchange
bv bankers and brokers in the
vicinity. The boxes containing this valuable
portable property are taken out
when business hours begin and put back
when they end, under such conditions of
protection as would seem to render impossible
the filching of any of them, even
could the boldest and most skillful of the
old time thieves venture within the
boundaries set by the Inspector for their
exclusion. It in not, however, deemed
best to particularize what these conditions
are. Anybody who ha> an 1111c introl'able
euriosiiy about them ca:i, by
I tying to get at the treasures, be very
certain of learning some of them quit.'

S. P. Causey, of Macon, Ga., caught a
large fi*h on a tr<ut line. "While the fish
was swimming at the top of the water
and endeavoring to escape, a hawk
pounced upon it. The hawk in some
way got the hook fastened in its beak.
Then a struggle ensued, the fish trying
to dive downward with the hawk and
ihc hawk trying to fiy upward with the
fish. After a lonir fight between the two,
the hawk was killed by some men who

Breaking- a Log Jam.
A letter from Minnesota describes a
monster jam of logs in the St. Croix
? River:
The workmen did all they know to
prevent the closing of the stream, but in
vain. A constant stream of logs poured
over the falls, which are about, thirty
feet high. At times the rapids fill with
logs for several hundred feet, and then
all settle down into the jam with a rush
and roar like the discharge of artillery,
snapping large logs in two as pipe litems,
and throwing others on end forty or
' lifty feet in the air. This contin m d until
by the end of the week the jam ha:l
reached up over the falls a distance of a
i mile and a quarter, and logs were still
i running iu at the rate of 500,000 feet aa
hour.
In the mean time the lumbermen, with
the aid of a stationary engine, were busy
; trying to break the jam, and each day
. thousands were loosened and sent down
t the river to Stillwater, but, as they ran
i in above the jam faster than they ran out
i below, the progress was slow. In pu ling
i out logs, says the St. Paul Globe, a great
s deal of judgment is required to know
i just which are the key logs that should
be caught by the ropes in order to loosen
s the largest number. A rope of twoinchcs
diameter is used, and on this arc attached
huge hooks about like ice tongs, only
larger and stronger. There are probably
200 or 300 feet of this rope in a single
length, and it takes from six to ten men
lo handle it. An experienced man is at
t. e end. picking his way among the logs
i ut fome distance from the water. He
knows his business, and though it looks
as if he looped the end of the rope about
any log taken random, he never does
i his until he has s >me eood reason for
taking this particular log.
Sometimes, by making an especially
fortunate choice, a raft of a hundred logs
are loosened. As the little engine down
i on the boat puds away winding up the
rope there is heard a terrible groaning
and creaking among the dry logs. It is
a terrible strain that i3 brought to bear,
and then the whole end of the jam seems
, to be moving down stream. The creaking
continues, and all at once a mass of
logs packed together, their ends sticking
in all directions, parts from the
larger mass and comes down on the boiling
water and floats away. No sooner is
it loosened from the big jam than a score
Of the lusty rivewnen rnn from log to log
and mount it,with their cant-hook;3 pull<
ing the small tangle apart. They keep
tip a continuous shouting and leaping
from log to log until "they are all untan*
gled and float away, then, by a few
jumps on stray logs, they are back again
for the next pull.
Experts ?ay that there anywhere from
250,000.000 to 400.000,000 feet of lumber
in the jam, and that it may last all
summer, and quite possibly until next
fall. If it is broken up without loss of
life it will be fortunate.
Fitz John Portor's Balloon R!!de.
"T snnnnsft von never heard of Fitz
John Porter's balloon ride," said an old
army o'iicer the other day to a correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution.
"Wall," he continued, "it was one of the
most romantic events in the life of that
gallant soldier. He was with McClellan
in the Peninsular campaign, and was distinguished
for his intelligent activity.
Porter conceived the idea" thai; balloons
could be made very useful in reconnoiterifig,
and at his request General McClellan
obtained the necessary equipment for
this service. The balloons and the
apparatus for the manufacture of
the gas were procured vritliout
much difficulty, but an aeronaut
[ was not so easy to obtain. Some of the
officers of the Engineer Corps agreed to
make the first trip in the balloon which
was to afford a view of the Confederate
operations. Porter watched their prcpations
with keen interest. Just as they
had everything ready, he stepped into
i the basket of the clumsy gas bag to sec
j that everything had been properly prepared.
While he was examining the
I machine it slipped from the grip of the
i men who held it and shot like an arrow
I nn !nfn t.lifl n'r. cari-vinc Porter as its
| y ^ o "
I lone passenger. He had never been in a
balloon before and knew nothing whutl
ever about managing one. A stiff breeze
w as blowing, and tae great bulb flew
like a bird away from thg astonished
camp until it beca:ne a mere speck
in the sky, and then faded completely
from sight. Not a man
who watchcd it disappear expected
that he would ever see Porter alive
again. He started on his wild flight at
7 o'clock in the morning. The day wore
away with the camp in a state of great
commotion over the probable deatn of
j its favorite officer. AV hen night came
and nothing had been seen of the balloon,
it was the general conviction that
Porter lind either been killed by a fall
from his baloon or had beon captured by
the Confederates. About daybreak next
morning a picket challenged a man
coming towards the Federal line, and a
i moment later recognized General Porter,
j His balloon had carried him clean over
the Confederate Army. He was fired at
I a dozen times by the Confederate artilj
lery. At night the wind changed and
i brought him back, and when he saw that
i he was over his own army he let out the
gas gradually and safely descended,
i after being twenty hours in the air with
I the vision of a horrible dc.ith constantly
! before him."

Rimpiy the sum of small and quiet pleasures.
Nature has supplied remedies for great
evils?has balanced genius with adversity,
ambition with peril, virtue with

There are natures which blossim and

wither and decay in an atmosphere of
ease and comfort.
Low measures of feeling are better
than ecstacies for ordinary life. Heaven

thoughtful for others, unselfish, generous.
The law of harvest is to reap more than

Pay of Congressmen.
When a member dies his pay ceases on
the day of his death. The salary of the
successor commence* the day after the
decea e of the former member, though
the election may not occur for several
months. The new member, in other
words, draws pay for the time he never
teived.
A member is allowed twenty cents mile
age cam oj, ui ivi ijr vvui/^ u uiikv vuv
way, and he can check for the full
amount of both trips when he takes his
scat. He is allowed $125 a year for |
stationery. The most of this sum is
pocketed. i
The members draw their money in dif- |
ferent ways. There are probably twenty !
of the pre. ent House who let their salaries
run into nest eggs. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
has ov>t a year's salary owing him
?about $6,000. There are a couple of
dozen of members whs always over raw,
or, rather, borrow from the head of the
bank. They b irrow or get in advance
sums ranging from $10 to $'-300, and at
I the end of the m: nth they have nothing, j
I The great majority of the members draw
all that is coming to them at the end of i
each month, particularly those who have
their families with them. Some of them
never see an outside bank, but let their '
monthly salary remain and draw it out
in small sums. Others take out their
salaries and place them in other banks, j
I But this is not done as much as formerly,
i A number of them got caught in the
Middleton Bank that broke some time ,
ago.
Most of the members do all their (
financial business over the counter ot the '
Congressional bank, and some of them
pile checks up as high as $60,000 ia a
single session.?Wamington Hatchet.
Increasing His Height.
A story is told of a youth at West Point
who was bright and proficient in all his
studies, but lacked by a quarter of an 1
i inch the stature required of a oadet. lie
had been admitted, however, with the j
understanding that he must be dismissed '
if at the end of the fir;t year he had not |
grown enough to reach the standard. He
did not grow, and on the night before
the examination which would be fatal to
! his hopes he and his room-mate were
sadly talking of their cxpectcd separation,
when a bright idea occurred to the
taller cadet. Seizing a broom stick he
hit the little fellow two or three sharp
raps on the top of his head, raising a fine
bump. The next morning the boy came
away from the examiners exulting in the
knowledge that he had attained the full
stature exacted of cadets, with at least
an eighth of an inch to spare.?Worcester

how many we see with pain written on every

from female weakness, and who could easily

9omethlnff About Catarrh.
A great many people aro afflicted with Catarrh
who do not know what ails them; and a
great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured.
Thickenlngof the membrancwhlch lines the
nasal passages, thus making breathing difficult;
a discharge from the nostrils, more or
less copious, watery or thick, according to the
stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the
head; a constant inclination to spit; and, In
advanced cases, a dropping of intensely disgusting
matter into the throat, are a few of the
prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, inflamed eyes,neuralgic paiat, sore
throat and a loss of sense of smell, are very
of ten caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cared by Plso's Remedy
for Catarrh, Relief is had immediately
after beginning its use, but itis important that
it be continued without intermission until the
catarrhal virus i9 expelled from the system
and healthy secretions replace the diseased
action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly
it is unreasonable to exp .-eta cure in a short
time of a disease that has been progressing for
months or years.
This Question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Pico's Remedy for Catarrh. It is
bo concentrated that a very small dose is
directed. The quantity in one package is sufficient
for a long treatment, consequently the
expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulnei?.
A cold in the head is relieved by an application
of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The
comfort to be got from it in this way is worth
many times the cost.
The following letters are specimens of those
received every day, testifying to the worth of
Piso's Remedy for Catarrh:
Allegheny, Pa., Sept, 28,1885.
Piso's Remedy for Catarrh is doing wonders
for me. I believe it will cure any case of Catarrh,
if used according to directions.

I hare used a little over half a package of

Mrs. Harriet Cummin s.of Cincinnati, Ohio.writes:
" Early last winter my daughter was attacked with
a severe cold, which settled on her lungs. We rl?d
several medicines, none of which seemed to do her
any good, but sh continued to get worse and finally
raised large amounts of b:ood from h?r lungs. We
' called In a family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. At this time a friend, who had be-.n cured
by Dr. Wh. Hall's Balsam fob the Lunos, advised
me to give it a trial. We then got a bottle. nd she
began to Improve, and by the use of three bottles
was entirely cured.

From the weakening effects of warm weather, by
hard work, or from a long Illness, you need a good
tonic and blood purifier like Hood's Saisaparllla. If
you have never tried this peculiar medicine, do so
now. It will give you ? rength and appetite.
"I was completely run down, and was for nearly
four years under medical treatment, being given up
to die by physicians. My mother urged me to take
Hood's Sarsnparllla. At last I consented, and I
have sever taken anything which helped me at
much as Hood's Sarsaparllla, which restored me to
health and vigor. I have been taking it about four
months, and am now a different being, lean wort
