SPRING DISEASES
A ?iyhousekeeper. would , be' ccMsidered de.

the hearth inthe spring. as in mid-Winter: On'
the contrary, - as the days grow Warmer, less.
and lesifuel is used; uptilt„ife fire is not kip-,

eating is to •

not . beaigued that lese.wermth is required in
summer than in• winter.; but if we eat as
heartily as the spring advanees as We did In.
old weather, we will burn up with..fever,
cause we have made too much' heat.. The -in
stincts of our nature are perfectly. wonderful.
To our shame is it, that, we only, do not heed
them, but oppese them, fight against A - ern with
an. arnazing . faluity. ,
.As the warm weather
cornea on, we are all consciousof a diminutioh
of ; appetite; end we either begin to apprehend
we are abbot to get sick; Or . siet . ,hbo.uf stimula
ting ourielves withtonics; and bitters, and Va
rione kinds of teas, with the view of 'purifying
the blood. Dew many swills of.sassafras-tea

low nature's instincts, . only with• the

' Observant persons have noticed':
_that as•
spring:comes on; there is less relisl tor meats
of all kinds, and we yearn for the earlkspring
vegetables, the irgreens,'; the salads,'the Spin

look at it! :Meats have more thah fifty..per
cent.'of carbon, of the heating-forni principle.
'Vegetables and herries have ten per cent"' five
per cent., One 'per cent. of 'heat! Potatoes
have eleven per cent., turnips three per cent.,
goose -berries only One. : •
. Literally, incalculable are the' good results
which Would 'follow a practical :attention to
these,facts.. Those wits are.wisewili take no
tonicsfor the spring, will sWallow 00 teas to
purify, the, blood-, nor imagirrre themselves to be
about getting sick, because they have not in
Mayas vigorous an aPpetife as in December,
but will at once yield; themselves to the 'gui
dance of •the and' eat not an atom
More thaw they.have an :inclination. for to the
endOf a joyous spring -time and a summer of
glorious health ; 'while those who will eat, who
will-stimulate the „stomach With ;tonics, and

the earth is but a, theatre of pain , and sickness,
sorrow and death. -.Joy is illusive;, pleaittr; 'a
