The best is Hood's Sarsaparilla. -It
is the best because it does the most good.
While it makes the blood pure, fresh
and lively, it tones the stomach to bet
ter digestion, creates an appetite, stimu
lates the kidneys and liver, gives new
brain, nerve and digestive strength.
An unequaled list of cures 40,366 tes
timonials in two years proves its merit.

LD SORES
FED AND
KEPT OPEN
By imparities in the blood
Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because tlic blood la' not 'pure and
healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old cores arc persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous genus which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
lego or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
cats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that It resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can

David Warflcld, tho actor, tells the j
following story of a good spanking that
no got from his mother, which was
something of a turning point in his
career Tho Incident happened In San
Francisco, of which city Mr. Warflold
is a native. '
"If It had sot been for a bitter pun
ishment meted out to me by my moth
er, when I was about 0 years of
age," said Mr. Wnrfleld, "I might bo
doing my best acts on a Hying trapozo
instead of on tho stngc, and my most
effective 'flights' would havo been
ferial Instead of oral. As a youngster,
the height of my ambition was to own
a circus and to bo Its bright and par
ticular star. In fact, I resolved that
this ambition should bo achieved with
out further delay. Bo I summoned a
few of my friends, and together wo
organized a circus In tho collar of my
homo. My specialty was tho trapeze.
Wo had sold qulto a number of scuta,
at a bottle, a horseshoe, old Iron, pins,
etc., In fact, anything which might bo
converted into cash at a Junkshop af
ter the performance. Then tho fright
ful thought struck me I had no tights
what was to bo done? I crept quiet
ly to my mother's room and stole a
pair of whlto stocking. I drew them
over my legs, donned a pair of short
trousers and thero I was.
"Everything went splendidly till my
turn. Then, at a crash of kettle cov
ers mado by tho solitary member of
our 'brass band, I bounced Into tho
ring, got on tho trapeze, mado of a
broomstick and clothesline, and thero
I swung gracefully to and fro, for a
few moments and that was as far as
I got with my act My mother did tho
rest. Sho had heard tho rumpus In
tho cellar, and cnino to sea what had
caused It I can even now remember
her placing my car In her hand, and
being led away.
"How small a thing may thus alter
tho course of one's career."
