THE FOUR SEASONS, Am Viewed by the Doctor, Rather Than the Artimt. We often see in ihe magazines reproductions of famous paintings representing the Four Seasons. They are generally personated by beautiful women, and the typical spring is generally a young girl. She is bouyant and elastic, her eyes are full of fire, her form lisson and graceful. Her cheeks flush with health and there breathes from the canvas the impression of radiant health. It is true, we sometimes see our young women in such a state of health in the spring-time; but it is the exception. Depression a*nd languor are generally in evidence and the drooping, and listless figure of the school girl, the dragging step of the hou-owife, are seen in nearly every Perfect health is rare in any season, but this is especially so in the soring The great majority of people need a iOhic in the spring. There a>e a great many toni ■■■ and thev are all taken by the p ■ mle to a greater or less extent. Bit the one that seems most popular at this time of the vear is Pe-ru-na. It strengthens the weary body, invigorates the nerves and eletrs the mind. It leaves no bad effect, upon the system when it is discontinued. The tact of the efficacy of Pe-ru-ua as a spring tonic is becdirfcng more widely known every spring, More Pe-ru-na is being taken than ever before. The people have learned that it is unfailing, and so do not experiment, but immediately buy Pe-ru-na when the old listlessness of “spring fever” overtakes them. Any one who desires Dr. Hartman’s latest book on this and kindred subjects may obtain one free by addressing The’Pc-Tu-naDrug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, O. ~ — > Unclaimed letters remain at the postoffice belonging to Decatur Fill Spring Co, ' WlHi'am Mockey, Moore & Davis and F.
