That is the way mo-it people fee! in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle. sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depression. Pimples r eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism m- neuralgia. .Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order â€" that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into moie serious trou- ble. ; Do not dose yourself witli purga- tives, as so many people do, in the hope that yiu can put your blond right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giv- ing strength. .\ny doctor will tell I you this is true.
