The water pipes running to Gross
man's wer *fn zen shut for two days
and Mr. Grossman was obliged to take
Iris live stock to the old watering place.
Last Friday two smart (?) young
fellows shot through a window pane at
Mr. Smith's with a revolver. The
bullet lodged in the wall. There was
fortunately nobody in the house and
that is one reason why the boys got
through the scrape so easy. But it will
be Iretter for them not to brag too much
of their marksmanship, else they might
have to pay dearly for it yet. Take the
advise of your friend. JUMBO.
—CATARRH is a very prevalent and
exceedingly disagieeable disease, liable,
if neglected, to divdop into a serious
consumption. Being a constitutional
disease, it requires a constitutional
remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla,which,
acting through the blood, reaches every
part of the system, effecting a radical
and permanent cure of catarrh in even
its most severe forms. Made only by
C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
DIED
On the 2nd Inst., at the residence of his son
at Fowler, Mr. Jacob Coleman,aged t)4 years,
lu months and 10 days.
The Oft Told Story
Of the peculiar medicinal merits of Hood's
HarsaparlUa is fully confirmed by the volun
tary testimony of thousands who have tried
It. Peculiar in the combination, proportion,
and preparation of its ingredients, peculiar
in the extreme care with which it is put
up, Hood's Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures
where other preparations entirely fail. Pecu
liar in the unequalled good name it has made
at home, which is a "tower of strength
abroad," peculiar in the phenomenal sales
it has attained,
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is the most popular and successful medicine
before the public today for purifying the
1 blood, giving strength, creating an appetite.
" i suffered from wakefulness and low
spirits, and also had eczema on the back of
my head and neck, which was very annoying.
1 took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
1 have received so much benefit that I am
very grateful, and I ain always glad to speak
a good word for this medicine." MRS. J. S.
SNYDER, Pottsville, Peun.
Purifies the Blood
Henry Biggs, Campbell Street, Kansas City,
had scrofulous sores all over his body for
fifteen years. Hood's Sarsaparilla completely
cured him.
Wallace Buck, of North Bloomfield, N. Y.,
suffered eleven years with a terrible varicose
ulcer on his leg, so bad that he had to give
up business. He was cured of the ulcer, and
also of catarrh, by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
