VII of winter leave the system
49, clogged. Confinement in warm
rooms, with lack of outdoor exercise,
makes all the organs weak and torpid.
Those who neglect to use remedy
or fail TO get the right one are in
viting serious troubles. Most chron-
ic diseases start in the spring. The end
of winter finds thousands with such
symptoms rs these: A general unttness
for work with either head or hands. A
worn.out, tired-out feeling that cannot
be overcome. There is sleeplcssness, or
restless sleep. Numbncss of hands or
feet. A sense of pressure in the head,
with q feeling of gloom or cspondency.
There may be tluttering or palpitation
of the heart. Frequently pain in the
heart or under the left shoulder. There
may be rushcs of blood to the head, or
throbbing in the ears at times.
Kidney and liver troubles may be
looked for if your digestion has not
been perfect There is fulncss Or pain
in the right side, or pain under the
right shoulder. Distastc for food, with
nausea in the morning. Complexion is
blotchcd or sallow. Tongue is coated or
mouth foul. There is dull, sleepy
feeling, with Discrimination TO breathe
deeply. If the kidneys are in danger
there will be pain, weakness or soreness
in small Of back, and perhaps OCCASION
al sharp pains. Urine is scanty, high
colorcd, and on standing, becomes
cloudy, or deposits red sediment.
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 re-
pair. Bright's disease, jaundice, rheuma-
tism and heart troubles start from just
such conditions rs these. No two per-
sons will have the same set of svmp.
toms, but any of those enumerated are
important The organs must be strength
ened and repaired. Repair can only
come through active digestion, and
