During the winter, the blood becomes thin and watery because of the arti- ficial life we are compelled to lead in- doors--the artificial food, the breath- ing of impure air, the lack of exer cise, and this is why most peéple find it necessary to 'use a blood builder and nerve restorative in the spring.
