Peculiar In combination, proportion, and process, Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses peculiar curative powers unknown to any other preparation. Tlds is why it has a record of cures unequaled in the history of medicine. It acts directly upon the blood, and by making it pure, ricii and h althy it cures disease and gives good health. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the only true blood purtfn r prominently in the public eye to-day. $1; six tor $5. Hood's Pi II s An O<l<l Race. A “Noah’s Ark Knee” Is an amusing novelty on the turf. It was introduced at the Madras fair, and was a handicap for all animals bred in toe country, the competitors including buffaloes, elephants, a goat, ram, emu, and elk, and other creatures, besides ponies and horses. The elephants were as placid as if moving in a marriage procession, and went over the course nt a quick walk. The ram and goat, ridden by little boys, ran well, and the buffaloes went at a good gallop; but the emu would not stir—neither would i the elk, until the end of the race, when , At took fright and darted down the ■^course at great speed. Finally a ram was the winner, a horse coming in second, and a buffalo third. Howling at the Moon. Just as some highly civilized races worship the sun, so some people lower tn the scale worship the moon. Amongst the latter may be named the Makua, of Mozambique, In East Africa. They are a bad lot, and give the Dor tuguese much trouble. At full moon they always dunce and how’ most mournfully. Mr. 11. 11. Johnston, the traveler, says that though the authorities forbid these observance, his Ma kua servants ran the risk of being whipped, and even imprisoned, ratner titan not go down to the beach to yell and caper on full-moon nights. ’ HOW AN ADVERTISEMENT SAVED A WOMAN’S LIFE.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a'perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

Mr. Bert M. Moses, the advertisement and business writer of 503 Third street, Brooklyn, relates that he recently had occasion to consult Dr. J. S. Carreau, a well-known physician of IS-West T Teen street. New York city, for a stomach^ trouble which was pronounced a type of dyspepsia. “After consult*tion.” writes Mr. Moses, "the doctor gave me a prescription, and I was somewhat surprised to note that the formula was nearly identical with that of Ripans Tabules, for which I had, on more than one occasion, prepared advertising matter. I bad Dr. Carreau's prescription filled, and it proved satisfactory, giving quick relief. A week later, when I had taken all the medicine. I again called on the doctor and mentioned the similarity of his prescription and the proprietary remedy spoken of, showing him both the remedy Itself and the formula. The doctor was at first somewhat inclined to criticise what he called patent medicines, but appeared to be surprised when he noted to wbat extent his own prescription conformed to the formula I showed him. It was practically the same. After a short time devoted to noting the careful manner in which the proprietary medicine was prepared, he wound up by prescribing it for my case. Os course I had to pay him f««r telling me to do this, but It was worth the cost to have such high professional assurance that the advertised article was. in fact, the scientific formula that it purported to be. 1 might have taken the proprietary medicine In the beginning and saved the doctor's fee, but I think the confidence I have acquired In the efficacy of the remedy, through the doctor's Indorsement of It, Is well worth the fee.” Klpam r»Sut-« er-- sold by drugy'.«t« ar by mall U CL» i rlo- r ■ :a aI < x l« s-nt to rhe lUpaoa ( bena*> ca! <'. in i any.
