The necessity for taking a good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system Is based upon natural and un-
ayoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less Precipitation and impurities
have not passed out Of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely Of
rich. fatty substances, and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result Ia, the blood is loaded with i'm
purities and these must be promptly ex-
polled or health will be endangered.

more or less dampness. To sleep in room that

Such room should be warmed and aired for hours
before Il IS occupied Unused rooms are frequently
shut up In winter for months. and In this period
accumulate dampncss 10 such extent that IL
may be readily perceived entering them
FOR this reason the beds In spare rooms should
not be made up. except when the rooms be
