In these !rigbt aod pleasant mouths the country should enjoy its highest degree of traDqnilU ty and prosperity. But spring, it is well known, is often a period of dis comfort and disturbance in the physical system. Important organs of the brdy become torpid or irreg ular iu their action, and the fact is instantly reflected in the mental condition of the individual. A dis ordered liver means disordered nerves and a dull and u u steady Drain. Anything which will bring the physical system iuto harmony with budding N.turs confers an e normous benefit upon the nation, besides tbe trere allaying of physi cal discomfort. Hood's Sarsaparil la doe this, us thousands of grate ful and happy nieu and womeu can testify, and increased use of this stand -trd spring medicine is of more real practical importance in promo ting hefclth aud quiet io the busi Desa world than reams of abstract theorizing. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the laet few jear was supposed to t-e incurabta.'
