DR. HARTMAN'S LConcludcd from last week 1 Spring Catechism for Family Use. Science Made Simple- First Lessons in Physiology. A Complete Explanatlon of the Disorders Peculiar to Sprlng-time Made Novel and Easy by Short Questions and Answers-Strlctly Accurate in Every Particular. SPRING CATECHISM. You gave thrce sources of blood mpurities, the second oí wliich you said was digestí ve disturbances; will you explain why indigestión is more common in the spring? ín the first Dlace, it requires more food to meet the demands of the system during the winter months, and the digestive system has been taxed to thcir utnost and spring finds them exhausted and in need of a good tonic like Pe-ru-na. In the second place, the scarcity of fresh fruit and vegetables n early spring compels people to idopt a diet which damages the stomach, liver and kidnevs, producng biliousness, dyspepsia, and kidïey diseases. This condition requires a laxative, than which there is no better than Man-a--lin. In the third place, the prevalence of colcis in the spring deranges the digestive apparatus by producing mucous congestions oí stomach and liver requiring the tonic Pe-ru-na. Now, indigestión, whatever may be the cause ot it, keeps the blood out of order, for it is on the products of digestión that the blood depends for its supply, and if digestión is imperfect the blood will be impure at once. Henee the frequency of bad states of the blood in spring-time. The third source you mentioncd of the blood impurities of springtime was humors in the blood; what do you mean by that expression? It is meant by humors such constitucional diseases as scrofula, salt rheum, boils and other eruptions that are commonly thought to be due to impure blood. Why should they be more prevalent in the spring than any other season? There ai e several reasons why, a few of which I will mention. All of the unfavorable influences peculiar to spring already mentioned are, of course, calculated to devclop any latent humor or blood poison that happens to be lurking in the system. In addition to them the in door life which most people lead in this climate during the winter months greatly increases the slightest blood taint by inhaling the bad air of close, illy ventilated rooms. By the time spring arrivés the system is thoroughly saturated with vanous contaminations which excite into activity any obscure blood disease which had escaped notice the other months of the year. Why is scrofula more 'liable to make ïtself known in the spring? Becaue scrofula is a disense of lymphatic glands, and they are intimatly connected with absorption of fatty foods, too imich of which are eaten in the spring, consequcntly they become greatly overtaxed, and if there is the slightest tendency to scrofula it will be encouraged to break out at once. What about the eruptions you spoke about? How do you account for the fact that they should occur with greater trequency in the spring months? The skin is the natural exit of much of the blood impurites which escape with the perspiration. During the co'd of winter the skin has been dormant, but the returning wannth of spring increases the skin activity, and the accumulated poisons finding escape irrítate the skin and cause the eruptions. Is there anything to prevent this? Yes, the skin can be artificially stimulated to extra activity by the use of La-cu-pia, and so prevent the blood accumulations, or, after they have accumulated, La-cu pi-a wiil neutralize them or hasten their escape. What is this La-eu-pi-a you refer to ? It is a medical compound known as an alternative. An alternative is a medicine that has the power of curing constitutional diseases (usually called blood diseases), of which scrofula, erysipelas, and salt rheum are examples. Of what are alteratives composed? There are two classes of alteratives - vegetable and mineral. The mineral alterativo ought only to be used with the utmost caution, as they are active poisons, like mercury, gold and arsenic. Vegetable alteratives are entirely safe, but it requires more skill and expense to properly prepare them for use than it does mineral alteratives. What are laxatives? They are compounded of vegetables that produce a natural movement of the bowels, but do not physic or weaken. Man-a-lin is such a laxative. Then, with the tonic Pe-ru-na, the laxative Man-a-lin and the alterative La-cu-pi-a, one would be prepared to meet every variety of the blood disorders of spring, do you mean to say? Exactly; and this can not be done successfully with less than three distinct remedies, and that Pe-ru-na, Man-a-Im and La-cu-pi-a are those three remedies no one who knows them will attempt to cïeny.
