BUSINESS PROSPERITY.
Reports From tho East are Very
Favorable.
While business men in the East have
been complaining that the wave of pros
perity not only has not reached them,
but did not even Beem to be visible on
the business ocean, of late the reportB
are much more favorable, and the
breezes of improved conditions seem to
be tiling the sails.
A despatch fjom Lowell, Mass., statos
that while some of the woolen indus
tries, notably carpet manufacturers, are
still running on reduced time, the cot
ton mills are running full time, many
of the nights, and with a larger produc
tion and greater pay roll than ever be
fore One of the most prominent of the
diversified interests of Lowell, is Hood's
Laboratory, where Hood's Sarsaparilla
and othei medicines are made, In this
great building the production in the
bottling department has been very
largely increased by more than doubling
the number of employes, and in other
deartinents there is the characteristic
Hood energy. More than 200 hands are
now employed in the Calendar depart
ment alone. Twelve large printing
presses, six cutting machines, half a
doznn; eyeletters, and as many wire
stitchers are also in operation, produc
ing the enormous number of 125,000
Calendars per day. The Calendar this
year will be the largest and handsomest
ever issued by C. I. Hood 'i Co., and
will be one of the choietst pieces of color
work out this season.
Comparatively few people In thU rectlon realize
the Importance if tMs great medicine business to
the city ol Lowell or to the country generally. We
have no such buildings hereabouts as Hood's Lab
oratory, which i eahl to be the largest building tu
the world devoted exclusively to tho medicine
business. It Is over 400 feet long, rive stories in
height, with an average width of 00 feet, covering
about three aores of. floor ijiace. It Is really a re
markable monaraent to the merit which a pro
prietary medicine may attain. The proprietors
of Hood's Sarsaparilla claim, and there seoins to
) abundant evidence to support it, that as a
blood purifier and general tonto this medicine
has peculiar qualities which win success and the
favor of nearly every one who takes It. Certainly
the many letters the firm receives every day from
people praising the medicine and telling what It
has done for them, are not only remarkable trib
utes, but very interesting as well. More than a
few of these letter lately received from this vicini
ty and from other cities and towns In this state.
Among them is one from R. 8. Harrington of
Corvallis.O regon, who says:
"My wife h- A esema on her limbs. They were
very son, and raw trom tne tnxes now 11 mey
were so painful ttiat tdie could get but little sleep
or net. We tried various medicines and external
aiiDlicatlons. and slit used rubber stocking, but
received no benefit. I finally told her 1 thought
wa better get a hall doaen Dottles or Hooa a pan
parilla, and that 1 believed it would do her more
good than anything else. When I went to the
store to get it tney said they were out but had an
other kind and aome of tneir own make, i tow
them I must have Hood's aa it had been used by
aiuuAof mi frsendewith icood result.
"When I got tlx bottles -I Hood's Sarsaparilla
my wife began taking it. l ne nrsi weea wt saw
a ehanire for the better, and when she had taken
the six bottles her limb were Well and the felt a
great deal better Her cure tt permanent, and wt
cannot say too mucn In praise ol Hood's 8ana
nlla which effected a cure after to many other
DMHiioinet had done no good and some harm. My
daughter hat been taking it wl'h good reiulta."
Suited to Them.
Cannon Beach, Oregon, December 6
1898. M. E. Sabin of this place says:
"I was a great sufferer from headaches
until I began to use Hood's Pills.
Since then, my headaches are of rare
occurence. I never allow myself to be
without Hood's Pills in the house. We
have never found , medicines better
suited to us than Hood's Sarsaparilla
and Hood's Pills."
