It seems a pity that at such a beautiful season KO disagree able a malady as the so-called " spring fever " should unfit a great many people to enjoy the unaccus tomed sunshine and freshness that prevails.

A great deal of "blood medicine" is sold in the spring of the year. The blood , the vigor , the health , must be re newed with the trees and flowers and grass. The principal diffi culty is , which of the numerous spring tonics is the best ? Which will cure permanently and remove- quickly all the disagreeable symp toms ? Eead what Mrs. Adliii Adams , Oaf ton , Ky. , says of Pe- ru-na : "I was about to give up all hopes , when I concluded to take Pe-ru-na. I believe it is the best medicine in the world. I can not speak too highly of it.
