DECEPTIVE SPRING.

'' The season when to come and when to go,' . ' "To sing or cease tp sing we never know." . ' POPE,- , '/ ' Gentle spring is once more with us. It recurs every year, and the unvarying phenomena is explained by what ,we know of thesun's or the earth's motion, This is the season whioh arouses. the -.enthusiasm of mankind by the charms of the " . surrounding beauty and variety of ■ effect. We behold budding and . flowering trees,, flowers, plants,: saplings, and other branohes grow with force and luxuriance diffusing: beauty, whioh delights the senses : and charms the mind. Thompson • • ; ; pathetioally exclaims:— ' ■ ' " Come, gentle spring, ethereal 1 : mildness come, ■ < And fromtho bosom of. your . dropping cloud , ■ ! Upon our plains descend.!' Milton, equally enraptured, calls it:' " Tb.o seasons prime for sweetest; scents and airs," v 'V Nature involuntarily rouses the heart to a pitch of enthusiasm, and it is therefore not surprising that poets and artists emulated in singing the - boundless praises, of beautiful, spring. The Germhn poets of all ages gave vent to their feelings by a panegyrie,. ;lit ien wimdmlioem Frithling— Ltm zkht dweh twin Gmiilh Lvblklm Gelaitle : .

Thus the fair spring has ever been extolled, while, alas, it has lured countless thousands of victims to their unprepared graves, Spring in its gaudy disguise, is the most treacherous. and deceptive of the seasons. Tinder every blade of j, bounding grass, is the germ of * death. Beneath the budding tree, "iiM alas, lurks the demon of sickness. . • f>--Malarial poisons.are drawn in with every breath, and the germs of disease that are absorbed in innumerable ways, all prove the dangerous nature of the season that separates winter and summer. It requires the most powerful constitution to successfully repel the poisonous atmosphere. Thus thousands are every spring nipt in the bloom 'of beauty, wit and youth, and carried to that bourne whence no mortal returns 1 This is the season where a restorative is absolutely necessary to fortify the system, and throw off the enemies of • health. No doubt you devirie the restorative which is needed. That remedy is Warner's safe cure, whioh by its action on the vital organs,, banishes dull care and pain, removes the languid sensations, creates an appetite, purifies and enriches the blood, aiid restores health and happiness when the body is bowed with pain, and when life seems a burden too great to bear, It, * is used by rioh and poor alike with • infallible success. Says Mr W, v Howard Leonard, of Collins . ■ • ' Street, Melbourne, the popular ' member for (Jarlton, under very recent datel have repeatedly taken- Warner's safe oure when i afflicted, with such remarkable M.success, that the result fully justifies. ' * me in attesting to its high curative '' properties." Voluntary attestations from influential sources like the above could be quoted adinfinilwii, and should be the means in pointing out with emphasis the guide to health. It is time that the deceptive praises of artist and poet are exposed in all ' their sophistic fallacy, for prompt action alone will avert impending disaster, and avoid the subtle perils of" deceptive spring."
