escapes The Times-no local
happening is overlooked. The

In the Spring You are Always

This Will Tell You Just What to do
For Yourself.
And lust Why You Should Follow Exactly
And lust Why You Should Follow Exactly
This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs to think
about taking a spring medicine. Not
only is this common practice, but
very necessary and healthful one. 1t is a
fact which physicians acknowledge and the
people recognize generally, that a spring
tonic taken during the months OF March,
April and May is more conducive to the
restoration of health, in cases of those who
are sick, than any other course OF treat
ment that could possibly be adopted.
1t is further understood by everybody
that even for those who call themselves
well, it is very important at this season
of the year, if they would maintain
good health and vigor, to take spring
remedy to strengthen and invigorate the
nerves, tone up the action OF all the Or
gans, and thus, by creating healthy
condition of the nerves, blood, stomach,
liver kidneys and bowels, assist Nature
in the efforts she always makes in the
spring to cleanse, purify and invigorate
the system.
In the spring there are great many
and important changes going on in the
body. Perfect health cannot be main
tanned while the system is cIosged and
the organs sluggish, and the person has
languid and weakened feeling. with
more or less nervousness and debility.
Now in regard to what you should take.
The best spring medicine, Endorsed and
recommended by physicians, druggists
and the people, is DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. In proof OF this
thousands of testimonials are being con
stantly published in the papers. The fol
lowing is from Mrs. Eta Sumner OF

three fourths of the masqucraders. Quite
a portion of them remained in the dress

reason several characters which attracted
much attention during the mask were left
unknown to the people in the gallery.
