"I write to thank you for the wonder
ful good your Peruna has done for me.

other Internal trouble for twenty-two

tles and to-day I cau say I am a well
person.”
Could Not Eat Without Suffering.
Mrs. II. A. Weaver, Somerset, Ohio,
writes:
^ “I can safely and truly say that Peru
na has been a blessing to me.
“I had catarrh so badly that 1 had lost
the sense of smell and taste.
“I had stomach trouble so bad that I
could not oat anything without suffer
ing afterwards.
‘‘My friends advised me to try Peru
na. 1 bought one bottle and was greatly
benof.led by it, and so I bought one-half
dozen bottles, ami will say that 1 am
completely cured of stomach trouble
and catarrh.

Now Has Best of Health.
Mrs. Victoria M. Pickel, KID K. Mound
St., Columbus, Ohio, writes:
“1 have been using Peruna for catarrh,
having had a very aggravated case, so
bad that it clogged the nasal organs.
When I did get the nasal organs opened,
the mucus would drop into my throat
and make me very sick.
‘‘A friend advised mo to lake Peruna,
and after using four bottles 1 was cured.
“I have no trouble now, and am happy
to say tiiat I am enjoying the best of

Catarrh for Several Years.
Mrs. Alice Boglo, 803 Clinton St.,
Clrcleville, Ohio, writes:
‘‘I want to inform you what Peruna
has done for me.
“1 have been aillieted with catarrh for
several years. I have tried different
medicines and none seemed to do mo
any good until I used Peruna. T have
taken six bottles andean praise it very
highly for the good it lias done me.
“I also find it of great benefit to my

The Georgia Baptist Convention
is made up of many of many of the j
greatest men in Georgia, men who;
are leaders in all the walks of life,
U S Senators, Congressmen, judges,
bankers and preachers. It is a great
body, but I must not fail to mention |
“the Reverend, Dr. Conspicuous.”;
He was there too, and arose to be
seen as often' as there was an op
portunity. When there was no op
portunity to confer his wisdom up
on the convention, he had to be
content with rising, like an inflated
jumping- jack, to shy "Mr. President"
Failing to secure the recognition of
the choir? he resumed his seat with
the consolation that at least those
in his part of the house had turned
to see who wished to speak.

A Lack of Language.
A lamentable gap in the English
language and indeed in all lan
guages has been discovered by a cor
respondent of the London Lancet.
“Why,” asks M. J. Williams, “is
there no way of describing smells?
You have not described or classi-
( fted a smell when you have said that
j it is horrid, and you are just as wide
1 of the mark when you have said an
other smell is lovely. Consider the
parallel of the elasslflcatidii of col
ors. When you describe a sunset
you need not merely say that it is
beautiful. .You can go further and
say that it is red or yellow or pur
ple, as the case may be. But sup
posing you have been face to face
witli musk for a few minutes and
want to describe it to your friends.
You will find that, outside the prov
ince of expletives, you are helpless.”
The Origin of Numbers.
The use of visible signs to denote
numbers can be traced to remote
times, hilt our present decimal sys
tem in its complete form with the
zero is of Indian or Hindoo origin.
From the Hindoos it passed to the
Arabians about 750 A. D. In Eu
rope the complete system was de
vised from the Arabs in the twelfth
century. The use of numerals in
India can be traced back to the
Mana Ghat inscriptions, supposed
to date from the early part of the
third century B. C. The earliest
known example of a date written on
the modern sytsem is of 738 A. D.—

He. Jewels.
“Theo,” and her eyes sought tie
last embers of the dying fire, “you
are not as kind as a husband should
be. You never give me any jewels.”
“Jewels!” And his voice seemed
to come from his heart. “Y'ou ask
for jewels? Any one with diamond
eyes, ruby lips and teeth of pearl
ask for jewels? Why, the rarest
jewels gold could buy would ouly
he superfluous.”
Then for the first time for days
she kissed him.—London Answers.
An Old Enemy.
Persons who rise in the world are
not always as frank about tbeir for
mer places in life 11s good sense and
humor might lend them to be. Dean
Hole in his book of reminiscences,
I “Now and Then,” tells a little story
of one whose humor did not desert
him in time of prosperity. A foot
man who hud begun life as a doc
tor's boy grew interested in the study
of medicine and spent bis leisure
hours reading medical books, lie
came to the United States, worked
hard as a student and as a physi
cian for many years and attained a
large practice. After some years of
absence he returned to England.
Seated one day at luncheon with
those whom lie had formerly served,
he suddenly astonished the company
by holding up the mustard pot and
addressing it with, “Hast thou
found me, 0 mine enemy?”
Afterward lie explained that the
only reproof he had incurred from
the lady who was then at the head
of the table was evoked by the neg
lected condition of the mustard pot.
Their Own Lookout.
There was an Irishman who after
reaching America was full of home
sick brag, in which nothing in
America even approached tilings of
a similar variety in Ireland. In
speaking of the bees of the ould sod
?ie grew especially roseate and said:
“Why, the haze in that counthrv
is twice as big as in this, bedad.
Indade, they’re bigger than that—
they’re as big as the sheep ye have
in this counthry!”
“Bees ns big as sheep!” said his
incredulous listener. “Why, what
kind of hives do they have to keep
them in?”
“No bigger than the ones in this
counthry,” was the reply.
“Then how do the bees get into
the hives?” he was asked.
“Well,” replied the Irishman,
“that’s their own lookout 1”—Ex

i Value of Capital.
Once upon a time two utter bank
rupts were considering ways and
means of getting needed money.
“I know how we can make $!),”
said one.
“Raise a dollar note to ten by
placing a cipher after the one.”
“Where will we raise the dollar?”
Then the scheme failed for want
of capital.
Moral,—The great financial diffi
culty is in raising the first dollar.—

How Long a Tree Lives. (
Inquiry as to the general age &i
trees being put to an authority of

it Was said that the pine tree attain

MANY A MAN
Is a critic because he likes to
be contrary. You can go con
trary to the wishes of your
friends and neighbors and some
times get the best of them, but
go contrary to the dictates of
nature and you always get the
worst of it.
If Nature Says Spectacles,
Then Spectacles it must be.
Nature won’t accept just Spec
tacles though; they must be
right Spectacles. I can give
the kind that nature demands.
