Mort curative power is contained in Hood's Sarsapariila than, in any other similar preparation, It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more and it is worth mure to the consumer. More skill is required in its preparation and it combines more remedial qualities than auy other medicine, Couse- quently it has a record of more cures and its sales are more than those. of any other preparation. Hood's Sar- saparillais the best medicine to buy bacanse itis an honest medicine and thousands of testimonials prove that it does actually and permunently cure disease.

He said the people in Manitoba were not nearly so concerned about the School question as the people of Ontario were, was opposed to the Remedial Bill, but the whole drift of his argument was in support of that obnoxious measure.
