NOW! IN THE SPRING OF THE
YEAR

During Winter. Nature wisely arranges
that we should live on foods containing
much fat, or, as they are known, hydro
carbons, for the purpose OF supplying
heat 10 the body; the chemical operation
necessary to transform fat into heat is the
exclusive work of the liver, and 50 dur
ing the time stated it is constantly con
gested.
With the approach of warm weather
our diet changes to muscle producing
food, and the work of the liver is much
lessened In the majority of eases, how
ever, it is - unable to completely
throw off the excess of bile, but remains
congested, causing that .5G lazy, tired
feeling which many have in the Spring
months. when the weather becomes warm.
-. This is evidence of an unhealthy
condition, and though people appreciate
the necessity of an Alternative at this pc
Rod, the common idea is to take drastic
pills and produce cathartic effect, only
to make matters - worse. The liver
must be unoaded, and its proper action
restored before hot weather, If Won wish
to preserve health, and if this dis
tinct call of nature is UNDECIDED serious
results will occur.
- The blood will become loaded with
bile and 1.-THE acid, and as - every
drop of vital fluid passes through the
kidneys to be purified, they soon break
down and are unable TO carry out the
deadly poison. Warmers Safe Cure and
Warmers Safe Pills have not only
- specific action on the kidneys, but
on the SO liver also.
I@ They thin the thickened bile so
that it will pass out through its ducts,
enable the glands to unload themselves,
act as . solvent on all hillary acids, and,
in word, eE fit these great organs for
the seasons work, - preventing blood
poisoning, Inflammation, abscess, and all
affections to which they are 90 liable.
~ As you value the blessings of
health, do not allow the summer to ap.
proach without giving your system
general house-cleaning," in the manner
We have indicated.

In one Of the ssylums where are
kept those unfortunates who know so
much that their fellow mortals are
forced in self defense to regard them
ms lunatics was an old gentleman who
in his day had been somewhat famous
as n teacher. He had been at the
head Of a school for boys in which
had been educated some Of the leading
men Of his part Of the country, and Il
may have been the strain Of training
their unusually brilliant intellects that
had so marred his own. He was a
harmless. pleasant old gentleman,
only now and then doing anything
which gave trouble 10 those about
him. and most of his time he passed
in celebrating theories in regard to the
best methods OF education. His theo-
ries had not always the advantage Of
being practicable, but they were gen.
orally ut least ingenious, and il would
be rash TO say that they were not wise.
since they have not yet been tried.
Il have been thinking n good deal
lately" he observed OH one occasion,
"of the difficulty we have nowadays
in teaching boys the languages. There
is an awful sight Of work wasted
somewhere, and / have concluded
that after all we make u great mistake
in not going back TO the Bible method
after ALL"
THE Biblo mcthod!" repeated his
hearcr. What is that, Mr.. III"
why, don't you remember how
they learned the languages in the BIZ
blci They just built "a big tower and
then they all got struck with the Ian
guagcs without any further trouble" "
1t is a pity that no note has been
made of the effect upon the linguistic
powers of the workmcn which has
been made by the erection OF the
Eiifel tower. for here was an oppor.
tunity of putting Mr.. ii. S theory to a
practical test.
On another occasion he spoke Of
the attempt To invent flying ma
chimes, and observed with the greatest
solemnity:
THE way To learn To fly is to eat
worms. It's the wigglc in worms
that does il, aud il wanted to teach
boys to fly / should make them eat
worms. II is in this way providence
intended them to learn. "-Boston Cou-
