Spring Humors Come to most people and cause many troubles, pimples, boils and other eruptions, besides loss of appetite, that tired feeling, fits of biliousness, indigestion and headache. The sooner one gets rid of them the better, and the way to get rid of them and to build up the system that hai offered from them is- to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Forming in combination the Spring Medicine par excellence, cf unequalled strength in purifying the blood aa shown by unequalled, radical and per manent cures of Scrofula Salt Rheum Scald Head Bolls, Plmplee All Kinds of Humor Psoriasis Blood Poisoning ' Rheumatism Catarrh Dyspepsia, Eto Accept no substitute, but be sure to get Hood's, and get it today, - Captain Coomers had sailed over all the seven seas and the mighty bay of Penobscot Therefore he felt only contempt for the little bug-shaped steamer that carried passengers from the mainland to the island resorts which at that time were just begin ning to have a summer population, This was in the days when all good sailing men looked on steam craft as mere landsman's toys. Their contempt was warranted by the habits of the Belle of breaking down in mid-channel, of steering off her. course in a wind, and of staying at dock discreet ly when there was any "considerable breeze of air." On one passage across the bay she fell foul of a current that pushed her upon a sandbank. The passengers be gan to run for the boats and hunt in Impossible places for life-preservers. Captain Coomers sat on deck, bis big frame supported by a camp-stool and his "game leg" stretched out on an other camp-stool. He sat still while the others, crew and passengers, wero rushing about in futile activity. He looked at the strip of island, then out at the bay, then at the sky. Then he' rested his chin on his chest and studied the deck planking. A passenger ran up to him and cried. "O, captain, we are wrecked!" "Hum?" "We are wrecked." "Be we?" . "Is there any danger?" . "Hum?" "Are we going to sink?" "Not fur in this water." "Are you sure? I'm afraid we we shall all be drowned!" "Not if you're more'n four feet high." , The passenger seemed satisfied at last, and went away. Captain Coomers resumed his gaze at the deck. Pres ently another passenger saw him. U, captain, I m so glad you re here!" "So be I." "Think there's any danger?" "I ain't seen any." "Of course we we aren't far from shore?" , "No. We're as nigh as two lovers on a slopin' sofa." "You take it coolly!" "Well, you see I've been wrecked off Cape Horn and I was in a boat that was chawed by a whale. I don't puppus to get my boots wet out o' any seen land vehicle as this here." Youth's Companion. A Confusing Advertisement. A London editor has received from Beilin a printed notice of a hew hair dye, described in English.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative fiowers that they offer One Hundred Dollars or any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J.

Upon recovery the elands of the neck were verv much enlarged, and after the free use of iodine, the right one was reaucea to its normal size, but the left one continued to grow very slowly at first, until it was about the size of a goose egg, which began to press on the wind pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be came very painful. An incision was made and a large quantity of pus discharged. The gland was removed, or as much as could with safety be taken out. For ten years I wore a little piece of cloth about an inch lone in mv neck to keen the place open. During this time I had o have it cut open by the doctor every time I took cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring or early Summer of 1884 1 wa persuaded by my wife to use S. S.

I. .; A-re5ortrrcently Issued by the In- Jterstat.Commerce Commission shows that the total number of casualties to persons on railroads in the United States, "during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, was 55,130,' comprising 2,787 killed and "51,343 Injured. 'This .shows a large increase over any other year. It is a large total and, in com parison, may be said to be similar to the complete destruction of any one of such cities as Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Texas; Racine, Wis.; To peka, Kan.; Waterbury, Conn.; Wilkes barre, Pa., or Augusta, Ga., neither of which has anything like 53,000. inhabi tants.

Adams in Johnson's "Cyclopaedia," of the kill ed, wounded, and missing ' on both sides at Waterloo, one of the greatest battles of all time, is 54,428 men not so many by 702 as last year's total of United States railroad casualties. The number of collisions, and derailments during the past year was 11,291, in volving $9,383,097 in damages to roll ing stock and roadbeds.

Scurvy used to be regularly treated when it was possible by burying the patients - up to their necks in fresh earth, a practice officially recommend ed in the British navy less than a cen tury ago. Twenty of the crew of" the frigate Blonde were so treated on the shore of Donna Maria Bay, Santo Do mingo. Holes were dug in the softest soil on the beach. Into each of these a man was put and buried to his chin, while a detachment of their shipmates was told off to keep the flies- from their faces. They were kept in this position for two hours, and the treat ment was so effective that four days later all the sufferers were able to re join the frigate., A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itehloe - Blind, "Bleeding or Protruding Files Your druggist will refund money If PAZO OlNT MENT fails to cure you in to 14 days.
