That Tired Feeling
When tno weather grows warmer, tliat
extreme tired feeling, wmit of itetlt,
dullness, languor, and lassitude. Rflllet
atmoet the entire human family, and scrof
ula and other diseases caused by humors,
manifest lhmitvea with many. It Is Im
possible to throw oft this debility and expel
humors from the blood without tho aid of a
reliable medicine like Hood's S.irsaparllla.
"I could not sleep, and would get up In
the morning with hardly life enough to get
out of bed. I had no appetite, and my
fare would break nut with pimples.
At no otber season ts the system so sus
ceptible to tbe beneficial elleeta of a re
liable tome and lnvlgorant. The Impure
slate of the blood, the deranged digestion,
and the weak condition of the body, caused
by Its long battle with tho cold, wintry
blasts, all call for the reviving, regulating
and restoring Influences so happily and
effectively combined In Hood's 8arsaparllla.
" Rood's Sarsaparllla did me a great deal
ot good. I had no particular disease, but
was tired out from overwork, and It toned
1 bought 1 me up." Mns. O. K. Siumons, Cohoes, If. T.

Immense amount of benefit, t never felt
