1t is a matter of common belief and eX-
perience that sprinRtime is a season that
brings certain arrangements of body de-
pendent upon blood impurities. This be-
lief is an old one, and much has been
written to defend and explain it. The
drug market is ~abundantly supplied with
medical compounds which are recon-
mended as spring medicines, and even
the grocery stores haYe no small trade in
the materials for root beer and sasafras
to cleanse the blood. lei a prevailing
conviction must have a foundation 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 wrisers, stimulate
them to educate the masses on this very
important subject. The popular notion
seems to be that the blood impurities and
general lassitude of spring are dependent
on a single cause, and hence ought to be
cured by a single medicine.
The fact is that there are three dis
tinct sources of blood contamination,
and each demand q different remedy.
The blood is composed of digested food,
the secretions of certain glands of the
body and accidental foreign material, in
Guiding specific p~oisons. 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 impurities.
No one can be troubled long with indi-
gestiou and have pure blood for, how
ever careful one may be in the selection
OF proper food, if 1t is not properly di-
gested it will not furnish the blood with
pure materials. If the food is not
promptly digested 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 the food. ''Spring fever as it is
sometimes called, which produces g
tired-out, sleepy feeling, and inability
to do much mental or physical work, is
the result of a sluggish digestion, and no
blood medicine will be of any use hat
ever unless it is able to rectify the i'm
paired digestion. The great popularity
that Pe-ru-ne has is due to the fact that
in all such cases it at onoe corrects d.
g~estivs 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
disturbances, is arrangements of the
liver, kidneys, and glands of the bowels.
These glands, when ~deranged, allow the
blood to become overloaded with pois-
onious materials which they should carry
off, but annot do so properly. Bilious
ness, constipation, sediment in the urine
and pain in the kidneys are symptoms of
this conditNn. This condition Will not
be benefitteAD by n treatment that does
not operate &ectly on the liver and kid
neys. HenosSit is that, although this
condition hasSsome superfeial resem-
blance to the 1rsA cause Of blood dlsor-
ders, it CANNOT Abe cured by the same
remedy. Man-a-Ifn~ issxactly suited to
cases of this kind, ana will never disap-
point. If the caseE uncomplicated,
Man-a-lin will be all nat is needed to
complete the cure Dntah as is often the
case, there is also dyspepsia and depres-
sion of the nervoue systefq4 then Peru !
ma should be used in connection with the
Man-a-lln. Iqseases wherethe breath is

M"an-a-lin had better be taken, and,
although these is no constipation of the
bowels, it caAnot fail in greatly assist
ing to obviatethe usual tedious adjust
ment of the @man body to the change
from the coldof winter to the heat of
summer.
The third source Of blood impurities,
which Is becoming more and more COM
mon, and for which the foregoing treat
ment is not applicable, is specific blood
poisons or constitutional 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. It is an
unfortunate mistake to hope to cure this
variety of blood impurity with either a
laxative or q tonic however well they NAV
be adapted to the sources of bloodimpur-
tiles. It is in these blood contamina-
tions that La-cu-pi-a has shown itself to
be such a superb remedy. AS a blood
purifier in constitutional diseases like the
above La-cu-pi-s has very few squalls.
These directions followed with any de-
gree of care will never fail to rid the sys-
tenn Of blood impurities, whether they be
due to the products OF imperfect diges-
ton, or the effete accumulation of slug
gish liver and kidneys, or the virulent
taints of specific blood poisons.
1t will thus be seen tha the almost in
evitable blood disorders of spring lave

numerous failures to get relief from the
use OF blood medicines are many times
due to the general disregard of these
faets. 1t requires but the slightest at
tention to ones own symptoms to decide
whether it is a tonic or laxative or alter
alive which is best adapted to his case.
If the symptoms are a general feeling
of lassitude, restless, disturbed sleep,
with fantastic dreams, confusion of
mind, craving appetite, with sometimes
loss OF appetite, heavy, tired feelings,
indigestion, skin pimples, etc., Pc
ru-na is adapted to the case, and never
fails to promptly cure every case. If,
however, the symptoms are dizziness,
furred tongue, thick blood, bitter taste
in the mouth, bloated feeling after eat
ting, constipation, sick headache, deep,
heavy sleep, with a constant desire to
