If you want nosy health and strength
in spring you must build up your blood
with a took: 10dieine. Indoor life dur-
ing the long winter months is responsi-
ble for the doprcesal condition and feel-
ing of constant tiredness which affects
so maty people every spring, This con-
dition means that the blood is impure
and watery. That is what causes pine

others hove twinges of rhon11ultisuit, or
the sharp, stabbing pains of neuralgia,
Poor appetite, frequent headaches and a
