ANCLENTS HAD SENSE,
Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening of Spring
When All Things in Nature Start
AfreSh.
Some Other Things in Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin tho
New Year with the new life of ma.
ture in the awakening spring.. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changes and active processesof SPRING
time. by realizing that this is also tho
time for renewed life and energy in
the human system. They well knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves REIN
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of taxi
ing good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing to go
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without TAX
ing spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is q
settled fact; the only question hereto

career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
