When your lungs grow weak and

It's then you should visit New Mex

II matters not what time of year,
You'll find tonic awaiting here.
It's In the air. the earth and sky
In snow capped mountains looming
high:
It's found In pine and cedar trees,
And borne on every passing breeze.
When winter cold aud ice bound
The tonic's In the snow-clad ground,
For germs Of sickness seldom thrive
Where old Jack Frost is much alive.
II In the springtimc you should
come.
Withaching heart at leaving home
Our leafy woods and sunny skies
Soon Danish tear-drops from your
eyes,
While lilacs, In their purple dress
Will bid you health and happiness.
And both be yours, II here you stay
10 greet their coming day by day
IN open plains ur mountain glen,
Far from the fcyerish hauuts oI

For lungs grow strong, and hearts
beat sure,
In this halmy air, 50 dry and pure
Come when you will summer ol

Health is awaiting each aud all,
And Is yours for the seeking. don

But come at once Ia New Mexico.
