That was to clear up the blood. For
in the Spring the blood is likely to
be sluggish, weak, and clogged with
poisons. 1t needs help.
Why be handicapped unnecessar-

become standard in the past thirty
years. Prescribed by physicians when

GREAT LAKES STRING QUARTET

The Great Lakes String Quartet, to
heard on the Lyceum course Friday.
December IL, evening, is one of the
notable musical organizations of the
day.
Somtime ago this quartet appeared
in the Blackstone theatre, Chicago,
and this engagement attracted the at
tention of many notable lovers OF
music The enthusiasm of these mus
ic lovers is well reflected by the re-
view of the concert by W. l.. Hubbard,
we'll known music critic of the Chi
cago Tribune.
"The exceptional quality of their
playing is beautiful" wrote Mr.. Hub
bard, being uncommonly soft and
pure, yet not lacking in power, in
cisiveness and brillancy when these
are desirable The average tonal
quality is, however, exceptionally in
gratiating and in itself makes listen
ing a pleasure"
This exceptional chamber music
organization has scored many must
cal triumphs and is sure to be splen-
didly received here.
