outdoor exercise, makes all the organs
weak and torpid. Those who neglect
to use remedy or fail to get the right
one are inviting serious troubles. Most
chronic diseases start in the spring.
The end of winter finds thousands with
such symptoms as these: A general
unfitness for work with either head or
hands. A worn-out, tired-out feeling
that cannot be overcome. There is
sleeplessness, or restless sleep. Numb
ness Of hands or feet. A sence of pres
sure in the head, with feeling of
gloom or dependency. There may
be f1uttering or palpitation of the heart.
Frequently pain in the heart or under
the left shoulder. There may be
rushes of blood to the head, OF throb-
bling in the ears at times.
Kidney and liver troubles may be
looked for if your digestion has not
been perfect There is fitness or pain
in the right side, or pain under the
right shoulder. Distaste for food,
with nausea in the morning. Com
plexion is blotched OF sallow. Tongue
Is coated OF mouth foul. There is a
dull, sleepy feeling, with dissemination
to breathe deeply. If the kidneys are
in danger there will be pain, weakness,
or soreness in small of back, and per-
haps occasional sharp pains. Urine is
scanty, high colored, and on standing
becomes cloudy, or deposits a red sedi-
ment. There are apt to be frequent
headaches. Sores and skin eruptions
frequently come.
All these various symptoms are com
mon to spring, and show that the vital
organs need renovating and prompt
repair. Bright's disease, jaundice.
rheumatism, and heart troubles start
from just such conditions as these No
two persons will have the same set of
symptoms, but any of those enumer-
ated are important. The organs must
be strengthened and repaired Repair
can only come through active diges-
ton, and Puritana is the remedy to
rely on. 1t will vitalize the entire BODY
and give you spring of buoyant, Wig

appetite, and the power to do things is
the sure reward of taking Puritana.
