KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Proceedings of the Special Convention
of the General Assembly at
Cleveland, 0.
Work or Die Convention— The Executive
Botird Increased from Fire to
Eleven Members—lmportant
Measures Acted Upon.
SECOND DAY’S SESSIOX.
Cleveland, 0., May 27.— 1 t was nearly
eleven o'clock yesterday morning before the
General Assembly of the Knights of Labor
was rapped to order by Grand Mastei Work
man Powderly. In the meantime the dele
gates congregated in groups in the hall and
corridors discussing labor topics. When
the call for the convention was issued by
Mr. Powderly, he only enumerated five
causes of complaint that were to be adjusted.
Those were boycotts, strikes, the Southwest
troubles, the relation of the Knights of La
bor to other organizations and the institut
ing of new assemblies. Since the delegates
have arrived many of them have plans that
they would like to spring upon the special
sess on. Whether these will be discussed
or laid upon the table cannot be determined
as yet One of these plans is to agitate the
subject of the Government regulatiug the
railroads.
A member, Mr. Harmond, ot Allegheny
City, Pa., has prepared a long address upon
this subject and the delegate from his dis
trict will try to secure a hearing for him.
The gentleman’s address also deals with the
project of a National Arbitration Board.
Another matter was made public by free
discussion. For some time past the Ex
ecutive Board have not been satisfied with
some of the organizers of the order, and
several have had charges preferred and had
their commissions recalled. A number of
organizers are not giving satisfaction, so to
prevent hard feeling by removing these men
il is proposed to have the commissions of
every organizer from the chief down re
called.
A reporter asked Mr. Richard Trevelick.the
Thief Organ zer, about the matter and that
gentleman said: “It is true that such a
plan is being agitated. Much of the trouble
in the order rising from rapidly increasing
membership and the installation of our as
semblies is due to poor organization. It is
not the fault of either Mr. Powderly or the
Executive Board. In making appointments
they must rely upon the recommendations
of the District Assemblies. They do not,
can not know all the men recommended
and appointed. A tew weeks ago in one
city I met au organizer who, I regret to say,
wa- under the influence of liquor. I asked
him where he was going and he informed me
that he was going to institute an assem
bly of five hundred striking Polacks
and Hungarians. This is against the
rules of the order, as we can admit
no strikers while they are out. I told him
so, but lie replied that he held a commission
ns organizer and would do as he pleased. 1
told him he could Institute the assembly,
but it would never receive a charter. Only
a few days ago at a reception tendered me
by ladies an organizer was intoxicated. It
would make hard feelings to ask for their
commissions, so it is proposed to make them
ante-up from the chief organizer down.
This can be done by Mr. Powderly alone,
by the Executive Board as much or by the
Executive Board under instruction from the
General Assembly. The best way is the
latter, and I think it will be done in that
manner. New organizers w ill be commis
sioned as fast as possible.and will be selected
because of their fitness for the position.”
The business of the morning session was
the acceptance of the report of the commit
tee on credentials. The new delegates were
then admitted to the hall and the obligation
administered. Delegates were admitted
only from such districts as were represented
at the • convention held last year in Hamil
ton, Out,-this being a special session of that
General Assembly and districts since insti
tuted notbeing eligible to membership in
the existing, body.
Mr. Powder!y’s address was then de
livered extemporaneously. He referred the
delegates to the call to learn what business
' as to be brought forward, and taking up
liie five subjects of strikes, boycotts, labor
.roubles, difficulties with trades unions, and
.he increasing membership, one by one, lie
’ lvised most careful thought and full dis
cussion upon all questions, lie asked that
harmony, prudence and discretion should
predominate in all matters and that the
i fTairs of the convention should be. acted
upon with consideration and dispatch. The
best part of the address treating of matters
ntirely within the prov ince of the order
cannot be made public.
Mr. Powderly resumed his seat amid pro
longed applause, and upon motion appointed
standing committees of five upon each of
the following subjects: Laws, strikes, boy
cotts. relation of Knights of Labor to other
organizations. A special committee of five
wis appointed to whom was referred the
addresses of the President and Secretary of
the National Womans’ Christian Temper
ance Union.
A committee of five was also selected to
take action upon the matter of the organi
zation of the American Manufacturers’
Union, as proposed by Edwin Norton in his
address on Tuesday. At one o’clock the
convention took a recess until eight o'clock
this morning so as to give ample time to the
committee to do the work laid before them.
THiitn pay’s session.
Cleveland, May 28. —The General As
sembly of the Knights of Labor began its
session at 8:80 o’clock yesterday morning.
The committee on laws presented a partial
report embodying a number of propositions,
only one ot which was taken up. The first
proposition was that the Executive Board
should be increased from five to eleven
members. The great growth of the order
since the original executive committee was
decided upon demands that the work
be distributed among more com
mitteemen. The morning was spent
in discussing the proposition. After
three hours’ discussion, pro and eon, the
matter was recommitted to the committee.
A large number of local Grangers, and in
some States the body of Grangers, have
gone into the Knights of Labor as District
Assemblies. The farmers’ orders largely
ass'sted the Knights in the late strikes in
the Southwest and, to show an appreciation
of brotherly aid. the General Assembly ap
pointed a committee to prepare an address
to the Grange to be presented at its National
Convention.
A committee upon legislation was also ap
pointed. To this committee the paper on
National supervision of railroads was re
ferred. The committee will have charge of
all matters that members would like to
bring before Congress and to them the peti
tion of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Land As
sociation will be presented by the president
of that organization together with the bill
providing for homesteaders’ aid in building
up homes in the West
At 1:30 o’clock a recess was taken until
eight o’clock this morning, at which time it
is expected the committee on the state of
the order will be prepared to report.
The Grievance Committee was employed
all the afternoon in hear ng complaints from
the Pittsburgh oigaunakei*’ union. Efforts
h«\t* been mmie tu have till** union rrt«p<l
itilO til? Kfiiflil? tl i sK’tt W fJJ'WNW
objection is being made by the Pittsburgh
delegates. No decision was reached. A
scheme is also <m foot to take the Typo
graphical Unions into the fold of the Knights
as a District assembly. This movement is
meeting with the enthusiastic approval of
the local union and their delegate has been
instructed to vote in favor of it.
John Jartett, ex President of the Amal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers, James lledpath and Henry George,
of New York, are in the city. Their pres
ence here at this time is regarded as an
evidence of the popular interest taken in
(he convention. Messrs. Jartett and George
delivered addresses on the labor question
to the American Congress of Churches at
Music Hall last night. Mr. Powderly was
also invited to address the Congress but de
clined.
FOURTH DAY’S SESSION.
Cleveland, May 29. —The Knights of
Labor settled down to solid work yesterday
morning and held two sessions, business be
ing transacted on the eight-hour plan, from
eight to twelve o’clock in the morning and
two to six o'clock in the afternoon. v After
the opening preliminaries, the committee on
laws presented their report, the first propo
sition of which was substantially the same
as Thursday, that the Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor be increased from five to
eleven members. After an hour’s discussion
the proposition was adopted without change.
The six new members will be elected by bal
lot, similarly to the other officers and the
ones elected at the present convention will
serve during the unexpired year that ends in
October. It was decided to establish per
manent headquarters for the Executive
Board in Philadelphia, and if deemed nec
essary the board may sit throughout the
year instead of assembling at the call of the
Grand Master Workman. A resolution was
carried tiiat gave the Grand Master Work
man the authority to recall the commissions
of every organizer in the order. The ac
complishment of this work is greatly due to
the three general organizers, Richard Trev
elick, of Michigan; Bei t Denny, of Pitts
burgh, and Carrolton, of Ohio. Denny is in
the convention and the other two have been
working outside. The subject of appointing
competent organizers and the means to be
taken for their selection was being discussed
when the noon recess occurred.
In the afternoon session a copy of a reso
lution adopted by (he Woman Suffragists,
assembled in annual convention at Toledo,
0.. was read. The resolution urged the
order to extend to women all the rights and
privileges of membership; to secure for wo
men equal compensation for equal work
with men, and to give its support to the
cause of female suffrage. The resolution
was referred to a special committee of
three.
After the disposition of the resolution an
address was read from the recent conven
tion of Trades Unions at Philadelphia. The
address sets forth that the claim of some of
the Knights of Labor that the officers of the
unions are not in favor of consolidation for
the reason that they would thereby be thrown
out of munificent positions, is unfounded,
inasmuch as only nine of the thirty-six
unions that participated in the convention
pay their executive officers a salary and they
only receive from sl2 to S2O per week; that
trades unions are not antagonistic to the
Knights of Labor; there is a proper field for
both organizations and there need be no
conflict; that the trades unions were formed
at a time when capitalists were trying to
lower the standard of skilled labor for the
purpose of introducing pauper labor and
doing away with the apprentice system;
that the trades unions are not hostile.to the
Knights of Labor; th% existing troubles be
ing the outcome of a scheme originated by
the capitalists of the country to destroy both
orders. The address asserts that the object
of the formation of trades unions still exists,
and there is no doubt of the perpetuation of
the organizations.
The address closes with a very vague ref
erence to the increase in membership of the
unions, inasmuch as it does not give the
length of time required for the Increase
mentioned, after which comes a treaty
which provides that no assembly of the
Knights of Labor can be formed of any
trade without the consent of the nearest
trades’ union of that craft. Where such
assemblies have already been formed they
shall be required to disband and join mixed
assemblies. No person shall he admitted to
the order of the Knights of Labor who has
been convicted of scabbing, ratting or em
bezzlement in the the trades’ unions without
exoneration from said unions; that no per
son shall be admitted to membership in the
Knights of Labor who is working for less
than the Union scale of wages of his craft.
The treaty closes by stipulating that the
Knights of Labor shall issue no trade-marks
that may in any way compete or conflict
with trade marks issued by the trades
unions. The address and treaty were re
ferred to the* Committee on the State of the
Order, who had taken no action upon it up
to a late hour last evening.
J. J. Shanahan, member of the Ohio
Legislature, and a delegate of the Dairy
men’s Association, held a long conference
with Delegate Cameron, of the Knights of
Labor, yesterday afternoon, concerning the
alliance of the two organizations in Ohio.
Mr. Cameron promised to bring the matter
before the convention to-day, if possible.
A telegram from Washington was received
in the convention yesterday afternoon from
Mr. Reil, who is representing the dairy
men’s interests in connect ion with the oleo
margarine bill now before Congress, stating
that it had been represented there that the
Knights of Labor as a body was not in favor
of protecting dairy products.
To this the following n*»!y was sent:
John G. Carlisle. Wnshinptlii, D 1.'.:
Acting under instruct the Gen
eral Assembly of the Rights nf%.. hor. I de
sire to state that no person has been au
thorized to speak for this organization either
in the affirmitive or negative on the question
of regulat ng the sale of oleomargarine now
pending in Congress. Please bring this mat
ter to the attention of the proper committee.
T. V. Powderly,
Grand Master Workman.
The convention adjourned at 5:80 p. m.
FIFTH DAY’S SESSION.
Cleveland, May 81.—The four hours’
session of the General Assembly of the
Knights of Labor Saturday morning was
passed in the discussion of the nioton made
Friday to refer the report of the Executive
Board on the relation of the order to trades’
unions to the Committee on State of the
Order. Speeches were made by a number of
leading members and from their tenor it is
certain that the trades’ unions will not get
all they ask. It is more than probable that
| the affair will rema n unsettled.
After a short discussion the whole matter
was referred to the committee and a few
moments later Mrs. Sarah M. Perkins, of
this city, appeared at the door of the ante
room to (lie convention hall and sent a note
to Mr. Powderly saying (hat she had been
delegated by the Ohio Woman’s Suffrage
Association to present an address to the
i General Assembly. A recess was taken to
i admit the lady and Mrs. Perkins was es
; ported to the platform and introduced to tiie
convention. The lady's remarks were well
1 received and generous applause followed as
she was escorted from the room by the re
ception committee of three delegates.
The committee on laws’ second proposi
tion Wfs the recommendation that where
practicable unattached local assemblies
should become part of District Assemblies
anil transact business with the General As
sembly through them. After a short dis
cussion the proposition was adopted, The
«*••?{*»)’ ffKtfj (t ietlei IjtUfl (iftivetdfffij
relating to the hardships of strikers who an
confined in the jail of that city for “con
structive qontempt,’’ and asking the Genera
Assembly to do something to obtain fot
them privileges given persons similarly
charged in other courts of the United States.
The following resolution was presented and
unanimously adopted:
Wiilhlas, The Jails of Galvhston, Dallas
an t elsewhere in Texas are filled with broth l
er Knights suffering for “contempt ot !
court." as issued by Judge Pardee, be it
Uesoired. By this General Assembly that |
we petition Grover Cleveland, President of
the Cnited States, to exercise clemency in
their behalf, ns the United States Judges
have ordered a release of all prisoners sen
teneed during the strikes on the Southwest
system, and thus lie the means of causing
bptter feeling between employers and em
ployes.
A committee of two was appointed to
draft suitable documents to be forwarded to
the President, asking him to exercise clem
ency toward the imprisoned members of the
order. The committee appointed on Friday
to respond to the telegram received from the
Toledo convention presented an address
that was unanimously adopted and ordered ■
to be sent to Mrs. Mary P. S. Frazier, the I
secretary.
The last business of the day was the
adoption of a motion that all committees
should be prepared to report in full at two
o’clock next Wednesday afternoon, and the
session took a recess until eight o’clock this
morning.
There was much indignation among the
delegates at the proposed treaty of the
trades unions when the document was made
public through the newspapers. The gen
eral reply to all questions concerning it was:
“They want the earth, hut will not get it.”
Mr. Griffiths, of Chicago, Worthy Foreman
of the Knights of Labor, and next to Mr.
Powderly in office, when asked his opinion
of the demand said: "That treaty will be
torn ail up. The time has come for the
Knights of Labor to make a stand. To
take that treaty or to treat with the trades
unions upon that basis would be a virtual
giving up of the order. Now in their ad
dress the trades unions make a great boast
of the growth of their various organizations.
I know that the Carpenters’ and Joiners’
Brotherhood of Chicago is going to pieces
and its members are working for amalga
tion with the Knights of Labor. This is a
critical period and we have got to have
backbone or die.”
■fames Campbell, of Pittsburgh, the rep
resentative of the Window and Glass Work
ers’ Assembly, the wealthiest body in the
Knights of Labor, when asked a similar
question caustically replied: “We don’t
have to accept it.” Mr. Haller, of the In
ternational Cigar Makers’ Union, said that
the unions were not prepared to accept any
terms other than embodied in the treaty.
He thought that in the event of no reconcil
iation being effected the matter would Ire
referred to the annual conventions ot the
several trades’ unions, two ot which will be
held in Pittsburgh next week, and they will
outline the policy to be pursued in the mat
ter in the future.
The delegates spent Sunday in visiting
the different places of interest in and about
the city, not a few going to Lake View to
inspect the Garfield monument now in the
course of erect on and see the coffin in
which the remains of the dead President
now r repose. Mr. Powderly exerted himself
as little as possible throughout the day, hus
banding his strength for the arduous duties
of the week before him.
SIXTH DAY’S SESSION.
Cleveland, June I.—The Knights of
Labor convention reassembled at 8:30
o’clock yesterday morning. A letter of
greeting to the Convention of Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers that
convenes in Pittsburgh to-day was lead and
adopted and ordered sent to the secretary of
the Association. The special committee on
legislation presented a partial report that
was adopted. It was decided to send a
committee of three to Washington to pre
sent the demands of the order to Congress.
A resolution asking Congress to declare
election day a legal holiday was passed.
At the afternoon se«k>n the report pre
sented byswawji on Strikes and
Boyqr'ts recommending that all authority
be vested in the Executive Committee, was
taken up and after discussing the subject
until 7:30 o’clock the convention adjourned,
without having arrived at a settlement of
the question. It is hinted that other busi
ness was transacted, but what it was could
not lie learned.
Robert Schilling, a delegate, formerly ot
Cleveland, but now of Milwaukee, come’
forward with the statement
was the birthplace of the imiev of the
Knights of Labor. “It happened in-this
way,” said Mr. Schilling to a Uniled Cress
reporter last evening. “1 was chosen mair
ntan of a committee appointed to ptv;«:e a
constilut on for the Industrial Congre-s,
which was to have met at Rochester in 1874
The order was so volatile, however, that
before the time set for the convention there
was nothing left of it. When the Kn'ghts
of Labor held their first General Assembly,
at Reading, l’a., in 1878, 1 was chosen a
delegate. When the question of a constitu
tion came up I offered the one I had pre
pared for the Industrial Congress, tour
years previous, and it was adopted, with but
slight amendments.”
Delegate Kaufner gave it out last night
that the Knights of Labor came out of their
fight with the Amalgamated Associat on of
Iron and Steel Workers in better shape than
they anticipated. When the convention
opened, lie says, the Amalgamated men
were very radical, but after reviewing the sit
uation they waived theobjection concerning
men who were not obtaining the union scale
of wages and moderating their tone toward
the men they designate as “scabs.” It was
agreed at the conference between President
Wiehe, Secretary Martin and Mr. Powderly,
last Tuesday evening, that every rolling
! mill employe applying for admission to the
i Knights of Labor shall be thoroughly inves
■ tigated as to his past conduct and if
anything especially obnoxious to the
Amalgamated Association is found against
him he is to be "blackballed'’ by the
Knights. The settlement is satisfactory to
both organizations. A committee of Knights
was appointed to attend the Amalgamated
Association Convention in Pittsburgh next
week, to make arrangements whereby the
two orders tnay work harmoniously in
rolling mill districts.
Among the various addresses with which
the different delegates are primed is one
that, it is claimed, will shortly be adopted
by the convention, asking Congress to pass
a bill to establish a Government training
school at which boys may learn trades of
all kinds. It wi 11 be asked that tine school
be conducted on the principles governing
the West Point Military and Annapolis
Naval academies. The Knights claim that
it i 3 just as necessary that the youth of the
country receive an industrial as well” as a
military or naval education.
The Blue and Gray, an organization of
the old soldiers, who fought in either army
of the rebellion, now belonging to the
Knights of Labor, held a meeting at the
Forest City House last night. An address
prepared by L. H. Shay, to theo.d soldiers
in the Knightsof Labor stating that the object
of the order was pence, which must prevail,
if they had to fight for it, was adopted,
after which the election of officers took
place. Thomas Green, an ex Confederate,
was elected Commander; L. K. Shay, (Fed
eral,) Vice Commander; D. H. Patterson,
(Federal,) Adjutant; the Quartermaster
elected is an old Union soldier, and the

A CURIOUS CUSTOM.
How tire Young Men of Purbeck “Take
tip" Their Freedom*
A curious old custom among the
quarrrymen of the Isle ot Purbeck was :
observed lately at Corfe Castle. There,
is among the quarrvmen a charter bear- j
ing the date of 1551, which is rigorously ,
obeyed, in order to keep the working of
the stone quarries in the hands of tree
men. To be able to take up one’s free- j
dom one must be the legitimate son of
a freeman. He must be twenty-one
years of age, up to which time his wages
belong to his parents. Once during the
year the quarrvmen meet at Corfe
Castle town hall, and there read the
charter, and on that occasion—namely,
Shrove-Tuesday—“free boys” claim and
take up their freedom. On this morning
a large number of quarrvmen assem
bled in the town hall, Corfe Castle,
and proceeded to the election of
officers, after which about twelve
freemen were sworn in. Each man has
to sign the roll of freemen, pay a fee of
6s. Bd. (about $1.65), provide a penny
loaf made on put pose by the baker
of the place and to buy a pot of beer.
The man thus sworn becomes his own
master. Should any of the freemen de
sire to marry during the next year he
has to pay to the stewards a “marriage
shilling;” and should he neglect to do
this his wife loses all interest in the
quarry, and can not take an apprentice
to work for her. After the above busi
ness was transacted the ceremony of
“kicking die ball” commenced. The
ball is provided by the man who was
last married among the freemen, and
is.presented in lieu of the “marriage
shilling.” If it should so happen that
no freemen has married since the pre
vious Shrove-Tuesday the old foot-ball
is used. The ball was taken from the
town hall to a field at Corfe Castle and
there kicked about by any one who
wished. Those very novel proceedings
terminated by the ball and a pound of
pepper being taking to the lord of the
manor as an acknowledgment to him in
respect of the way to river Ovver. — In
terior.
—The total annual cost to the Gov
ernment of the 716 men employed in
the United States military hands is
$269,738. In addition they receive
from the savings of the post bakeries
twin from subscriptions and outside
earnings enough to bring their total re
ceipts up to $296,724. Secretary Endi
cott says that the musicians are trained
soldiers, and for that reason a valuable
part of the army.

1790, are the craze and bring the most
extravagant prices.— Chicago Journal.

Of course he is not going to tiie! Be Is

His doctor does not call it Bright’s Dis

His physicians say that everything that

That is not so I
This case is a prominent otte because the

Of Bright’s Disease, called by every other

hundreds of thousands in all walks of life
who have sickened, and are likewise dying;
helpless victims of powerless physicians.
Eight years ago a very well known
gentleman was about to enter upon large
commercial transactions. His medical ad
viser quietly dropped into his office one
day and told his confidential clerk that he
would be dead in three months, and that be
ought to settle up his business affairs at
once!
That man is alive and well to-day, yet he
was given up as incurable with the same
disease that is killing General Arthur!
Our reporter met this gentleman yester
day and in conversation about the Gener
al’s case, he said:
“ I will give $5,000 to any charitable in
“ stitution in the State of New- York, to be
“ designated by the editor of the New
“ York World, the editor of the Buffalo
“ Yen'* and \V. E. Kisselburgh of the Troy
“ Times, if Warner’s safe cure (taken ac
“ cording to my directions) which cured
“ me eigut years ago, can not cure General
“Chester A. Arthur of Bright’s disease
“ from which he is suffering.”
“ Now I want you to understand,” he
said, “that we do not profess to make new
“ kidneys, but we do know from personal
“ experience .and from the experience of
“ many thousands of similar cases, that
“ we can stop the consumption of the kid
“neys. Many a man has gone through
“ life with one kidney without inconven
“ ience. Thousands of people have lived
“ a majority of their life with one lung.
“ They did not have a new lung made. We
“ do not make new kidneys, hut if the kid*
“ ney is not consumed too much we can
“ stop disease and prolong life if taken in
“ time ”
This offer comes from 11. H. Warner, pro
prietor of Warner's safe cure, of this city.
Mr. Warner also sarid: “My dear sir,
“there are Governors, Senators, Presi
dential candidates, members of Congress,
“prominent men and women all over the
“country whom I personally know have
“been cured of disease, such as General
“Arthur suffers from, by our Warner's
“safe cure, but owing to the circles in
“which they move they do not care to
“give public testimonial to the fact.”
Mr. Warner is interested in General Ar
thur’s case because he is personally ac
quainted with him and he says that it is a
shame that any man should be allowed to
die under the operation of old-fashioned
powerful cathartics, which have no cura
tive effects, rather than that a modern,
conceded specific for kidney disease whose
worth is acknowledged world wide, should
save him.
“If you doubt the efficacy of Warner’s
safe cure,” say the proprietors, “ask your
friends and neighbors about it. This is
asking but little. ‘ They can tell you all
you want to know.”
“We have kept a standing offer before
the public for four years,” said Mr. Warner,
“that we will give $5,000 to any person who
can successfully dispute the genuineness,
so far as we kuow, of the testimonials we
publish, and none have done it.”
Were General Arthur a poor man, un
able to be left “in the hands of his physi
cian,” he would use that great remedy, as
many thousands of others have done, and
get well. How absurd then for people to
say that every thing that can be done is
being done for the ex-President. w'hen the
one successful remedy in the world that
has cured, or that can cure a case like his,
has not been used by them.

“The Short Line Limited.”
To meet the growing demand for im.
proved facilities for handling the business
between Chicago and Bt. Paul and Minne
apolis, the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way has added a new fast train to those
heretofore run. It is called “The Short
Line Limited” because of the fact that the
Northwestern is the (Short Line between
the above cities. The new train is magnifi
cent in all of its appointments every thing
being entirely new and refitted for this
service. It makes the run each way in a
little over twelve hours, starting early in
the evening and arriving at its destination
the next morning in time for an early
breakfast. The importance of this innova
tion will doubtless be readily recognized
and appreciated by those whose interests
require rapid transit to and from th*
Northwest.

That Tired Feeling
Is bo general at, this season that every one knows
what is meant by the expression. A change of sea
son, climate, or of life, has such a depressing effect
upon the body that one feels all tired out, almost com
pletely prostrated, the appetite Is lost, and there la no
ambition to do anything. The whole tendency of the
system Is downward. In this condition Hood's Sarsa
parillals just the medicine needed. It purifies the
blood, sharpens the appetite, overcomes the tired
feeling, and invigorates every function of the body.
Try it.
“Inevertook any medicine that did me so much
good in so short r„ time as Hood's Sarsaparilla. 1 was
very much run down, had no strength, no energy, and
felt very tired all .the time. 1 commenced taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before I had used on« bottle
felt like a different person. tired feel
ing has gone, my appetite returned, and It toned me
up generally. My brother and sister have also re
ceived gieat benefit fron It.” Claka W. P HELPS,
