That languid, llfeless feeling that
comes with spring and early summer,
can be quickly changed to feeling
of buoyancy and energy by thejudic-

few doses is needed to satisfy the
user that DR.. Shops Restorative is
actually reaching that tired spot.
The indoor life Of winter nearly al
ways leads to sluggish bowels, and
to sluggish circulation in general.
The customary lack of exercise and
