CURE FOR SPRING FEVER

BOIL SASSAFRAS TEA- DRINK WHILE WARM.

Submitter comment: SPRING FEVER IS SIMILAR TO A GENERAL UPSET, TENSE AND NERVOUS
CONDITION. THOUGH IT IS KNOWN TO OCCUR ANY TIME OF THE YEAR IT IS
PARTICULARLY KNOWN IN THE SPRING; PEOPLE SHOW IT THROUGH THE
LACK OF ENERGY AND GENERAL SENSE OF LAZINESS.
