Naturally this decided
change must necessarily be
felt by the human system. Of
course, where every organ of
the body is performing its
functions perfectly, there is
little or no interruption
caused that is noticeable. But
where impurities have accum-
ulated, and have not been
thrown off promptly, and
where the waste and wear of
the severe winter season have
not been promptly restored,
natures work is being COM
bated. with very noticeable
effects.
Your body has brought you
safely through the severe
winter season, and the voy-
age has taxed your strength.
There has been considerable
wear and tear which must be
repaired. The energies relax,
and an unspeakable languor
pervades the entire system,
giving that worn-out, good
for-nothing feeling, so COM
monty called "spring fever"
