Dr. S. B. Hartman :
Dear Sir I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last De
cember which lasted more than three months, and which left me with catarrh,
and several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna,
I began with a bottle the first week In March and It certainly did me a great
deal of good. I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and fol
lowed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to
say that It has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my
friends, Yours, very truly, Henry Distin.

unless Peruna Is taken. In all case
“Whore Peruna is taken ns aboyo durtnj
the acute stage the rocovery is promp
and complete; but where tho ordinal-;
treatment is followed tho patient wii
complain for weeks and monthsof weak
ness,slight headache, want of appotlti
and many other symptoms of lowvi
tality. Such peoplo should begin n
once the uso of Peruna—a tablespoonfi:
before each meal, gradually inoroasin
the dose to two tablespoonfuls.

The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus,O.:
Gentlemen— 1 “ I suffered this winter
with a severe attack of la grippe,anc
having repeat
edly heard of
thevaluoof Pe-
cases, I thought
I would try it.
1 used It faith
fully, and began
to feel a change
for tho better
the second day,
and in tho
course of a week
1 was v o r y
much improved.
After using three bottles I not only
found tho la grippe had disappeared,
but my general health was much hotter.
I am satisfied that Peruna is a wonder
ful family remedy, and gladly endorso
it.” Yours, Mrs.Theophlle Schmitt.

1'iienmoiiia Can be Prevented.
This disease always results from a
cold or an attack of the grip and may
be prevented by the timely uso of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. That
remedy was extensively used during
the epidemics of La Grippe of the past
few year?, and not a single case has
ever been reported that did not recover
or that resulted in pneumonia, which
shows it to be a certain preventive of
that dangerous disease. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy has gained a world wide
reputation for its cures of colds and
giip. For sale by E. Bradford.
Honesty is tho best policy, but some
people believe in moderation in all
things.
To Be Prepared for War
Is the surest way for this nation to
maintain peace. That is the opinion of
the wisest statesmen. It is equally
true that to be prepared for spring is
the best way to avoid the peculiar
dangers of the season. This
is a lesson multitudes are learning, and
at this time, when the blood is sure to
be loaded with impurities and to be
weak and sluggish, the millions begin
to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla,which puri
fies, enriches and vitalizes the blood,
expels all disease germs, creates a
good appetite, gives strength and en
ergy and puts the whole system in a
healthy condition, preventing pneu
monia, fevers, and other dangerous
diseases which are liable to attack a
weakened system.

A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can’t keep up the
strain of an active life with a weak
stomach; neither can we stop the hu
man machine to make repairs. If the
stomach cannot digest enough food to
keep the tho body strong, such a prepa
ration as Kodol Dyspepsia Care should
be used. It digests what you eat and it
simply can’t help but do you good. E.

Gentlemen:—I write to say that I
have been troubled with Dyspepsia and
Indigestion for the past twenty years,
and have tried many medicines and
spent much money to no purpose until
1 tried Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I
have taken two bottles and am entirely
relieved of all stomach trouble. I can
not say too much in favor of this
remedy. I cheerfully recommend it to
all sufferers from Indigestion or Dys
pepsia. Yours truly, Wm. Rubbsam.

Pcannt Plants.
“Few persons are perhaps aware that
a thing of beauty is n common peanut
plant growing singly in a six or eight
Inch pot and grown indoors during the
colder months,” says an up to date fior-
lst in tlic Washington Star.
“Kept In a warm room or by the
kitchen stove, a peanut kernel planted
In a pot of loose, mellow loam, .kept
only moderately moist, will soon germi
nate and grow up Into a beautiful
plant. It Is In a similar way that the
peanut' planters test tlieir seeds every
year, beginning even early In the win
ter, and the facility with which the
seeds will grow In tills way lias sug
gested to many southern llower lovers
the possibility of making the useful
peanut an ornamental plant for the
parlor or sitting room window.
“As the plant Increases In size aud
extends Its branches over the sides of
the pot In a pendent manner, there are
few plants of more intrinsic beauty.
The curious habit of the compound
leaves of closing together, like the
leaves of a book, on the approach of
night or when a shower begins to fall
on them Is one of the most Interesting
habits of plant life.
“Later on—for the peanut Is no
ephemeral wonder, enduring for a day
or two only—the appearance of the tiny
yellow flowers and putting forth of the
peduncles on which the nuts grow lm-
pnrt to this floral rarity a striking and
unique charm all Its own. There is
nothing else like It,and florists through
out the country might well add the pea
nut plant to their list of novel and rare
things.”

There Is no doubt that the first Idea
of a suspension bridge was suggested
to primitive man by tho Interlacing of
tree branches and parasitical plants
across rivers. Probably monkeys used
them before men did. In very moun
tainous countries, such ns Tibet and
Peru, they have apparently been used'
since the dawn of history, possibly
earlier.

I think I’ve discovered where Teddy
(Jooscmcll got bis idea of a “strenuous
life.” Dili you ever walk around and

wonders that are going on around us,

throttle. Its engine seems to have
some of the instincts of a spirited,
high-bred horse. No tasks fatigue, no
dangers appal it. The rond may be
long, and dangerous in places, the load
norm mis, but it recks not of these.
Responsive only to the will and touch
of its master, it plunges on through
rain and shine, thrpugh darkness and
storm, across mountain and plain and
lake and river, on it goes, flinging
towns and cities, miles and leagues,
ounties and states behind it. Impa
tient of delay, it chafes and puffs reck
lessly even when stopped to replenish
its food and water, wliioh it eats ami
drinks as it (lies. On, on, oil it rushes,
like guilt flying from fate, but never
quite escaping, this devouring, insa
tiable mile-eater, and eats up its last
of thousands of miles as hungrily as its
first. And what has been accomplished?
Hundreds of tons of metal and wood
and coal and water, of hulnan beings
and their chattels, have been picked
up on one side of a vast continent and
set down upon the other, quickly, safe
ly, comfortably, pleasantly to all con
cerned. Strenuous! Why, it is the
very essence and embodiment of stren-
uousness! Talk about miracles; sup
pose one of those old long-bearded
Israelites who witnessed the most fa
mous miracles of old could be waked
up and permitted to witness what has
been so feebly and ineffectually de
scribed above, and were then asked for
his opinion of the relative merits of
the two performances, the one in his
day and the other in ours, wlmt do you
think his answer would be? Waiving
the question of honesty and candor,
there would probably be a fierce strug
gle between his “county pride” and
his commercial instincts, witli a result
something like this: “Vel, dot Daniel
mitder lions den vas goot; dose chil
dren mitde fiery furnkce vas fine, very
fine; and Samdson, he vas a bully boy,

untutored mind, in their method of

old, yet by their very frequency and
commonness—chief element for won
der—they cease to be wonderful. What
a tremendous jolt even one of our
modern utilities could have given to
the current of history, sacred and pro
fane. Suppose, for instance, that
Joseph, after his dalliance with Poti-
pliar’s wife, Imd been able to call up
his daddy at long distance ’phone and
tell the old man what a predicament
he was in. After the custom of fathers
in these days—-and in those, too, doubt
less—the old gentleman would have
weighted his saddle-bags with a good
suppiy of simoleons and posted off
down to Egypt on his asses, sought out
the chief-of-poliee and settled the mat
ter on the best terms obtainable. Then
he would have yanked Joey off up the
country and put him to cow-punching
again, after giving him a few admon
itory kicks with his No. 18’s, Scotch
bottoms. Then where would have run
your current of history? Moses and
his bullrushes, -100 years of bondage,
Pharaoh and his plagues, and no tell
ing how many more interesting and
important events sponged oft’ the page
at a strokel For my part, I’m glad
they didn’t have telephones in those
days; they might have lost the art,
like they did their flourishing industry
of mummy-making, and we never
could have found it again. For, ns you
have doubtless observed, lost arts are
like lost virtues, stay lost. It seems
easier to discover new ones than to re
cover the old. Wm. Bradford.
