PURE BLOOD
Blood Impurities of Spring
time-CauSe, Proven

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interest
ing lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture on the blood impurities
of spring.
The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulationS of winter,
deranging the digestion, producing
sluggishness of the liver, oVertaxing
the kidneys, interfering with the
action of the bowels and the proper
circulation of the blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring fe-
ver spring malaria, nervous exhaust
ion, that tired feeling, blood thicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious,
dyspeptic and constipated; sometimes
