SPRING ADVICE.
Some Timely Hints For All Who Are
Going Through This frying Season.

Bc careful of your diet. You do not
need heavy food such as you require dur
ing the winter.
Spring may be beautiful but 1t is
trouChorOus. DO not let II deceive you
into a cold, a fever, malaria or pncu-
mOniu.
Do not throw off your winter flauncls
too early. II Is better to suffer a little in
convenience than to take cold.
IT you feel tired, fcVeriSh or oVerhcnt ted,
do not rush off and take "Spring mcdi-
"nes." Cool Yourself down and I'm this
way help your system ana purify your
blood.
If you feel hot and thirsty, do not drink
large quantities OF water or other long
drinks. 1t is much better to take a little
pure whiskey and water which Will
uuCnCh the thirst, tone the system, and
fortify against disease.
Remember that only pure whiskcN
should ever be taken into the system. an1
that the leading chemists and scientists
of the present day unite in declaring that
Duny's Pure Malt is absolutely the purcst
and best.
DO not permit any druggist or grocer to
persuade you to take something else
Bear i'm mind that this Is a medicinal
whlskcy ana far superior for this reason
while II costs no more.
If you use proper care and follow the
advice above given, you may hope to go
through the spring, in good shape.
