PURIFYING TtiE BLOOD.
Constant Care of the Body Versus Spring
Medicines


Constant Care of the Body Versus Spring
Medicines.
The custom. which is so prevalent at
this time of year, of administering to
mes self remedies which are plrticu-
larly directed toward purifying the
blood, has, besides it's popularity. an
excuse in rational hygiene.
1t is to be expected, in other words,
that the human system, like every in
trieate piece of mechanism. will in
time become elogged with the results
and accumulations of its own work
The friction of its several parts. and
the wear and tear of constant usage,
are productive of debris of various
sorts, just as in the case with lnachin-
cry OF any kind; and men are excusa BILE
for believing that at least once year
they may with propriety seek to elimi.

mulated
And so the sarsaparillas of various
makes, especially where they are pre-
scribed by the family physician, may
be said to be worthy of their populari-
ty and the confidence which is reposed
in them.
1t is doubtful, however, if the neces-
sity for the use of 'spring medicines"
is especially urgent with those who
have continually. throughout the year,
maintained proper regard for the re-
quirements of the body.
Among those who have the care of
engines or other machinery, it is con-
sidered a breach of duty to permit the
accumulation of the most minute par
ticles of rust or dirt of any sort. On
the contrary, the greatest pride is
taken in the shiny appearance of the
bearings and all the different exposed
surfaces of the machine. How much
more, then, ought we to be constantly
solicitous that the human organism
shall not be hindered by the aeeumula-
ton of useless debris!
1t is possible to do this surely and
safely by attending day by day to the
eeretons of the body The waste
matter of the body. as we all know, is
got rid of by four great channels-the
lungs. the intestines, the kidneys and
the skin
BY carefully watching the work of
this branch of the human mechanism.
insisting that each part shall faithfully
perform its own peculiar work, we shall
insure letter results from the general
system, besides lessening To marked
degree the necessity for any periodical
or snasmodic attempts at purifying the
blood --Youth's Companion.
