GEO. H. BISSETT, Clerk, 44•12,0 LI ES • The poet's exclamation: "0 Life 1 feel thee bounding in my veins," is a, ,-- joyous one. Persons that can rarely er or never make it, in honesty to them- a selves, are among the most unfortu- nate. They do not live, but exist ; for to live implies more thau to be. To live it is to be well and strange—to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day, and to retire not overcome bythena— to feel /ife bomira' ingein the veins. A medicine that laies made thousands of people, men and women, well and strong, bus accom- plished a great work, bestowing the richest blessings, and that medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla. The weed, run- down, or debilitated, from any cause, should not fail -to take it. It builds up the wbole system, changes existence hat° life, and. makes life more abound- ing.
