“I cannot speak too highly of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as it has worked wonders in my case. I am 74 years of age, and have bsen afflicted with salt rheum on my hands for a great many years. I tried many things to cure them, but failed. My hands would crack open and bleed profusely, and the pain was terrible to be ar. Since taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla the flesh has healed and the skin is as smooth as any farmer’s. I recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a reliable medicine, and always speak in its favor.’’ Lloyd B. Chase, Swansea, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier Prominently in the public eye to-day. Be sure to ret Hood’s and only Hood’s.

Death of Ferna from Old Age. “Do ferns ever die of old age?” is the startling question of a Washington correspondent. Most ferns have a creeping root stock, or rhizome, as it is technically called. Roots go down from the apex, as the new fronds push up, and eventually the under part of the rhizome dies. Ferns of this class may live forever, in a certain sense, though really no part, alive to-day, may have been living ten years ago. But some ferns have been ambitious, and instead of groveling under ground, have learned, as tlie evolutionists might say, to straighten the rhizome and lift it into the air. Then we have the tree fern, or one with fill erect crown at any rate. It is not possible for ferns of this class to live forever. They must eventually die of old age. Let every man take care how he speaks and writes of honest people, and not set down at a venture the first thing that comes uppermost.
