EEP THE BALANCE UP.
It has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least imprudence brings on sick
ness, weakness, or debility. The sys
tem needs a tonic, craves It, and
should not be denied It, and the best
tonic of which wc have any knowl
edge Is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, In keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as a preventive
that it enjoys as a cure. Its early
use has illustrated the wisdom of the
old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine 'lake Hood’s for appetite,
strength and endurance
