1t is matter of common belief and ex-
perience that spring time is season that
brings certain arrangements of body de-
pendent upon blood impurities. This belief
is an old one, and much has been written to
defend and explain 1t. The drug market
is abundantlv supplied with medical COM
pounds which are recommended as spring
medicines, and even the grocery stores have
no small trade in the materials for root beer
and sassafras to cleanse the blood. Such
prevailing conviction must have founda-
tion in facts which deserve the most careful
consideration of the medical fraternity.
That there is a great deal of confusion on
the subject of blood impurities and blood
medicines should. instead of exciting the
disgust of medical writers, stimulate them
to educate the masses on this very important
subject. The popular notion seems TO be
that the blood impurities and general lass1-
tude of spring are dependent on a single
cause, and hence ought to be cured by
single medicine.
The fact is that there are three distinct
sources of blood contamination, and each
demand different remedy. The blood is
composed of digested food, the secretions of
certain glands of the body and accidental
foreign material, including specific poisons.
Since the blood is, in most part. dependent
upon the proper digestion of food for its
purity, it follows that disturbances OF the
digestive system is one source of blood i'm
purities. No one can be troubled long
with indigestion and have pure blood, for,
however careful one may be in the selection
of proper food, if it is not properly digested
it will not furnish the blood with pure ma
terials. If the food is not promptly d.
sested as soon as it enters the stomach
it will ferment or decompose. and in
either case will render the blood impure.
For this condition Pe-ru-na is a never
failing remedy. 1t cleanses the blood by
digestion, and gives tone to the whole
system by increasing the nutritive value of
times called, which produces tired-out.
sleepy feeling, and inability to do much
mental or physical work, is the result of
sluggish digestion, and no blood medi-
cine will be of any use whatever unless it
is able to rectify the impaired digestion.
The great popularity that Pe-ru-na has
is due to the fact that in all such cases
it at once corrects digestive arrangements
and enriches the blood by purifying this
very important source of that vital fluid.
The second source OF blood impurities
which is next in frequency to digestive dis
turbances, is arrangements of the liver,
kidneys and glands of the bowels. These
glands when deranged allow the blood to
become overloaded with poisonous materials,
which they should carry off, but can not do
so properly. Biliousness, constipation sed-
iment in the urine and pain in the kidneys
are symptoms of this condition. This con-
dition will not be benefited by any treat
ment that does not operate directly on the
liver and kidneys. Hence 1t is that, al
though this condition has some superficial
resemblance to the first cause of blood dis
orders, it can not be cured by the same
remedy. Man-a-lin is exactly suited to
cases of this kind, and will never disap-
point. II the case is uncomplicated, Man
a-lin will be all that is needed to complete
the cure, but if, as is often the case, there is
also dyspepsia and depression of the ner-
vous system, then Pe-ru-na should be used
in connection with the Man-a-lin. In cases
where the breath is very offensive, and the
tongue coated, Man-a-lin had better be
taken, and, although there is no constipa-
ton of the bowels, it can not fail in greatly
assisting to obviate the usual tedious ad-
justment of the human body to the change
from the cold of winter to the heat of
summer.
The third source of blood impurities which
is becoming more and more common, and for
which the foregoing treatment is not applic-
able, is specific blood poisons or constitu-
tional taints. These include scrofula,
chronic rheumatism, syphilis, erysipelas,
which often turks in the system during the
fall and winter, to break out in the spring
afresh. 1t is an unfortunate mistake to hope
to cure this variety OF blood impurity with
either a laxative or tonic, however we'll
they may be adapted to the sources OF blood
impurities. 1t is in these blood contamina-
tlons that La-cu-pia q has shown itself to be
such a superb remedy. AS blood purifier
in constitutional diseases like the above
La-cu-pi-a has very few equals. These
directions followed with any degree of care
will never fail to rid the system of blood i'm
purities, whether they be due to the pro-
ducts of imperfect digestion or the effete ac-
cumulations of sluggish liver and kidneys,
or the virulent taints of specific blood poi
sons.
1t will thus be seen that the almost newt
able blood disorders of spring have at least
three distinct origins, and the numerous
failures to get relief from the use of blood
medicines are many times due to the general
disregard of these facts. 1t requires but
the slightest attention to ones own symp-
IOInS 10 Qeclue WHETHER II is q tonic or laXa-
tive or Alternative which is best adapted to
his case.
If the symptoms are general feeling of
lassitude, restless. disturbed sleep, with
fantastic dreams, confusion of mind, cray-
ing appetite, with sometimes loss of appe-
tite, heavy, tired feelings, Indigestion, skin
pimples, ETC., Pe-ru-na is adapted to the
case, and never fails to promptly cure every
case. Il, however, the symptoms are dizzi-
ness furred tongue, thick blood, bitter taste
in the mouth, bloated feeling after eating,
constipation, sick headache, deep, heavy
sleep, with a constant desire to sleep, it is
Man-a-lin that is needed, and it will not
disappoint anyone who gives it fair trial.

boils, itching, persistent headache, enlarged |
glands, neither Pe-ru-na nor Man-a-lin is |
so applicable as La-cu-pi-a, which is a |
specific in such cases.
1t is reckless folly, simply because ones |

drugstore and buy the first medicine recon-

of the difficulty, and select a medicine
