Exclaims thousands of people who
have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla at
this season of the year, and who have
noted tho success of the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired
feeling, waning appetite and state of
extreme exhaustion after the close
confinement of a long winter season,
the busy time attendant upon a largo
ami pressing business during the
spring months and with vacation
time yet some weeks distant. It is
