Will Not be One Day Without
RU-NA
This Lady TELLS Her FRIENDS
Mrs. Mary Fricke, 507 Bornman St., Belleville,
111., is just one of the many thousands of ladies
throughout the country who, after an agony of
years, have at last found health, strength and
vigor in PE-RU-NA.
Her own words tell of her suffering and recovery
better than we can do it: “I suffered with my
stomach, had awful cramps and headaches so I
often could not lay on a pillow. Saw your book,
tried PE-RU-NA and got good results from the
first bottle. To be sure of a cure I took twelve
bottles. I have recommended PE-RU-NA to my
friends and all are well pleased with results. I
will not be one day without PE-RU-NA. Have not
had a doctor since I started with PE-RU-NA, which
was about fifteen years ago. I am now sixty-three
years old, hale, hearty and well. Can do as much
work as my daughters. I feel strong and healthy
and weigh near two hundred pounds. Before, I
w eighed as little as one hundred. I hope lots of
people use PE-RU-NA and get the results I did.” An experience like
that of Mrs. Fricke is an inspiration to every sick and suffering
woman.
If you have catarrh, whether it be of the nose, throat, stomach,
bowels, or other organs, PE-RU-NA is the remedy. It Is not new;
it is not an experiment. PE-RU-NA has been tried. PE-RU-NA has
been used by thousands who once were sick and are now 7 well. To
prevent coughs, colds, grip and Influenza and to hasten recovery
there is nothing better.
PE-RU-NA will improve the appetite and digestion, purify the blood,
sooth the irritated raucous linings, eradicate the waste material and
corruption from the system. It will tone up the nerves, give you
health, strength, vigor and the joy of living. Do what Mrs. Mary
Fricke and thousands more have done—try PE-RU-NA. You will be
glad, happy, thankful.

DRINK ONLY WHEN THIRSTY
Phyalclan Decries Having Any Set
,Tlmo for the Taking of Liquid
Into the System.
No rules for water drinking can be
laid down, but the best guide Is the
thirst of the individual, according to
Dr. John C. Hemmeter of Baltimore,
In an address at a meeting of the
American Therapeutic association.
Our bodies have a reservoir In
which much water Is stored; this Is
In the tissues underlying the skin and
In the muscles. The blood and lymph
contain about three and a half quarts
at water. In the course of a day about
two quarts of gastric Juice, from one
and a half to two quarts of saliva,
•ne and a half quarts of pancreatic
Jnlce, and Intestinal juices in quanti
t!as that have been estimated vari¬
ously at between two and eight quarts,
are secreted. Thus a man secretes
altogether about eight quarts of di¬
gestive Juices every day; yet he has
•nly from three to four quarts of blood
anf lymph.
The mystery of whence the water
Comes and whither It goes Is solved
wbrni we learn that the reservoirs un¬
der the skin supply It and reabsorb it
.When we are thirsty It means that
the supply In the reservoirs Is run¬
ning low. Perspiration disposes of
much of this water, and by evapora¬
tion keeps the body cool. Physical
werk or exercise produces much heat
and if a man who performs it cannot
perspire his temperature goes up rap¬
idly.
Vision Caused by “Cohoba."
Dr. 5V. E. Safford, of the government
plant bureau, recently Identified the
mimosa-like tree, which grows in Haiti,
Porto Rico and other Islands of the
Antilles, as the producer of a queer
powdered drug called “cohoba,” which
the natives used when Columbus first
arrived at the Island of Haiti. The
■••ds of this tree are yielded in pods,
which are roasted and ground to pow¬
der, which is sometimes mixed with
lime trem calcined snail shells.
The tribal wizards, or priests, while
under the Influence of “cohoba,” were
accustomed to hold communications
with unseen powers, and their mutter
lngs were construed as prophecies and
revelations of hidden things. The pow
dar was used as a snuff, and was In¬
haled through a forked wooden tube.
The forks were inserted In the nos¬
trils and the lower end of the tube
burled In a little heap of the snuff,
which was held on a tray of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used as snuff boxes.
Tha natives used the snuff on cere¬
monial occasions. It produced a sort
«t hypnotic state, with visions sup¬
posed to be supernatural. The chemi¬
cal properties of the drugs are still un¬
known so that its Intoxicating prin¬
ciple remains a mystery.
Inaane Actor Earned Plaudits,
la 1856 the Laura Keene theater, in
New York city, popularly known as
Laura Keene’s Varieties, was opened.
It remained under the management of
Ianra Keene until 1863. As Its name
Implies, a variety of plays and of ac¬
tors were staged here. Among the
letter were Joe Jefferson, the elder
Sothenv Matilda Heron and Mrs. D.
T. Bowers. “Humpty Dumpty” pro¬
duced there in pantomime, probably
had the longest run of any perform¬
ance of its day. The Automobile Blue
Book tells a pathetic tale of George
Fox In connection with his last ap¬
pearance on the stage. He Is said to
have become Insane from the poison
In the powder which he had to use In
whitening his face and head when
nuking np for hl» part as a clown.
But so much had this work become
a part of his life that after being
made up by an assistant he would be
placed upon the stage and from mere
force of habit would play his part Just
»a well, if not better, than before his
mind had become affected.

MRS. MART FRICK!
ATTRACTED BY “GOLDEN BED”
Marquesas Islanders Fascinated
Sight of Article of Furniture
New to Them.
An amusing tale is told of the com¬
ing of the ficst brass bed to Atuoiia.
Atuona Is one of the Marquesas islunds,
a place of coconut palms, and people
who are still ornamentally tattooed
and who used to be cannibals before
the missionaries arrived and taught
them better. But no missionary had
ever disembarked a brass bed on the
beach of Atuona; it came with the lug¬
gage of a curious traveler who had
seen the Island from the deck of a
steamer, and felt an Impulse to live
there a while and see what it was like.
He could not depart, he Says, “with¬
out penetrating Into those abrupt and
melancholy depths of forest, without
endeavoring, though ever so feebly, to
stir the cold brew of legend and tale,
fast disappearing under stupor and for¬
getfulness.” And so one day the boat
brought him ashore, and the populace
welcomed him, marveling at the sight
of the "golden bed” and nearly over¬
come with delight at the elasticity of
the springs under the mattress. They
took turns bouncing on it, while he
drove an easy bargain with the pos¬
sessor of a house for the use of that
domicile in return for leaving the
“golden bed” with the owner when he
departed. Then, the bargain concluded,
the wife of the chief who owned the
house had the unique privilege of sit¬
ting on the bed, happily bouncing up
and down, till It was lifted on the tat¬
tooed shoulders of four Marquesas
and marched with honor to Its desti¬
nation.
