The members of the Baptist Mission Study Class held an interesting meet ing nt the church Friday afternoon, and the ladles of Hie town were cor- dinlly invited. The meeting was in the nature of a review of the study of Japan. Many instructive papers were etteo disease. Medicines may palliate symptoms. Medicines may nrgo the powers of Nature to resist disease. Mcd- icjtqs sometimes arouse the efforts of tho human body to right Itself against de- ra. moments. This la the moat that med icine can do. A man accidentally pots his Anger in the fire. Instinctively he wets bis finger In bis month, then blows on it fof'tho cooling effect. This is no enro. Hs’knows it very well. But it makes It feel better for the time being. People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or indigestion. Tho only rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet If a palliative Is at band the pains of indi gestion can be mitigated, the throes of dyspepsia assuaged. Tho medlelno can not be said to have cured. It simply palliate* disagreeable symptoms. The cure moat come through right living. Take Perans, for Instance. No one claim* Perana is • care for dyspepsia. But Perana will stimulate the stomach to perform its function properly. Pera na will increase the flow of digestive fluids, without which digestion esnnot bo carried on at all. It wlU increase the relish of food, tho appetite. It is admitted that all thla can be accomplished by right living, bnt there are so many people who either will not or do not know how to eat correctly that a tremendous amount of good can be done by the wise nso of Peruna. -- d — —j..,, —-iiary ways, undoubtedly the stomach wi>/ J right itself, tho blood would rid Itscl/ tho poison, and everything would' — 8| S b G But as said before there are a Americus, —’ ■—- — — «-*«io .m i are I mullitndo of people who will not or cam not adopt right methods of living. To such people Peruna la a boon. A doso before meals will assist tho stomach to do its work. Thla prevents fermenta tion of the food, brlnge about normal digestion, and all the train of Ills that follow Indigestion disappear. In other word*, Peruna la helpful to thoso who live badly, or those who have acquired some chronic weakness. Pcrnna does not cure, hut it assists the powers of Nature to brlngabout scare.

Thla Illustrates the effect of Perana, or any other good remedy upon the sys tem.
