Why March is the
Most Dangerous
Month.

March IS the most dangerous
month of the year because the change
of season is more than good many
systems can stand. Too often it Is
true that the sick last only till
spring" But if the system is forti-
~. if the impurities are driven from
blood, and the nerve tissues fed
with wholesome and strength giving
food medicine there is no danger in
the change of seasons. Father John S
Medicine is invaluable as tonic in
the spring. 1t strengthens the sys-
TEN and drives out the poisonous
waste matter-builds up the body.
1t is this power that has made 1t so
successful in curing colds and all
throat and lung troubles. No weak
ening stimulants, morphine or other
drugs.
