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 the New Year
with the new life OF nature IN the
awakening spring. At this season all
processes throughout the natural worid
start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
saeacitv and appreciation OF the great
changes and active processes OF sprlnS

time for renewed life and energy In the
human system. They well knew THAI
the blood should be cleansed from
impurities and the nerves re-lnvigo-

Miners


The character of the food used in the
mining camps is such that many strong
men break down under it. ScurNy IS d
Very common disease. They drink guam
titles of coffee and that does its work
with thousands.
A nurse, Mrs. l.. Lowell, Who has been
employed in different places in Alaska
for the past three years, writes to say
that she had induced many patients TO
leave off coffee and take Postum Food
Coffee, which is very popular now IN
many Of the mining camps, for they nave
learned its value.
She says of herself that she has been
great sufferer from the use of coffee, ana
had 2 most shameful bilious complexion.
She says, Il not only suffered from the
looks but had a very serious stomach
trouble. When I finally quit coffee and
began using Postum Food Coffee my
stomach began TO recover its normal cons
dition. and my complexion gradually
changed, until now, after Il month or
more use of Postum, my complexion is
as fair as Il school girls.

miners that have given up coffee and are
using Postum. anu in each case there has
been remarkable improvement in

lii the Spring You Are Always
Run Down.
This Will Tell You Just What ID
Do Fer Yourself.
And Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.

In the ing every body needs to
think abous taking a spring medicine:
Not only is this common practice, but
very necessary and healthful one. 1t
is fact which physicians acknowledge
and the people recognize generally,
that spring tonic taken during the
months of March, April and May is
more conducive to the restoration OF
health. IN cases of those who are sick,
than any other course of treatment that
could possibly be adopted
In the spring there are great many
and important changes going on in the
body. Perfect health cannot be main
tanned while the system is clogged and
the organs sluggish, and the person has
languid and weakened feeling, with
more or less nervousness and debility.
Therefore everybody should take a
good spring remedy
The best spring medicine, indorsed
and recommended by physicians, drug
gists and the people, is DR.. Greene

It is the Great Restorative of Brain
and Nerves.

Oh. those nerves Of ours, how they do
bother us! Weak, tired, and nervous is
the complaint everywhere. We over
work. dissipate, weaken our bodies,
ruin our health, and finally break
down. Sleeplessness and indigestion
are early symptoms, for the nerves are
too exhausted and irritable to permit
rest, and the stomach too weak to
digest food.
It is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired, and the
arm nerveless, the limbs embhng.
the muscles weak, and the whole body
: without strength, energy or ambition.
It is loss of nerve and vital power
, which is slowly but surely sapping the
very life itself, and unless help is
sought from the right source, the END
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softening OF the brain, nervous pros
tration, heart failure, paralysis or pre-
mature death.
