Miss Lilian Powell, Aurora, Ind., writes: •Last spring I caught a severe cold from getting my feet wet and being out In the rain, and In n day I had a most miserable cold, hut I neglected It, thinking It would soon leave me. But It hung to me for two weeks, when I felt something must he done, as my condition was serious. • 'I had heard so much about Peruna and In Its praise that I bought a bottle and began taking It regularly. I was gratified to find that In a week the cold anil cough war. broken up, and three weeks’ treatment completely re stored my usual good health. ’’—Lillian Powell. How Consumption Develops. Nine cusps of consumption out of ton occur In this way: A person catches cold. The cold Is not properly cured, and another cold 1> caught. This cold Is dilly-dallied with, either by no treatment whatever or Homo treat ment that Is ineffectual, and the cold continues. Then another cold is caught and a cough develops. Cough syrups are ro- sorled to, Init they give only temporary relief. By anil by the patient gets tired of taking medicines and cough syrups and gives up in despair. The cold continues to develop and flia cough grows worse. Then the doctor is called In, only to discover that (lie patient Is In the first stages of consumption. II was Just in tills way that Miss Powell, of Aurora, Ind., beenino sick. She caught a cold, and not considering It serious, neglected 11, thinking as many others do, that It would “wear off.” However, It dung to her tenaciously, and In two weeks she found her health In a serious condition. Fortunately, Peruna had been brought to her nollee, and she took a course of Ibis remedy before It was too late. In ft week tlie cough mid cold wore broken, and a three weeks’ treatment completely restored her to health. Thlslswlial Peruna Is doing all the while. Not a day, and probably not an hour passes In which some one doos not have a similar experience with Peruna. Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid Consumption. The first step toward consumption la a cold. The next step is a failure lo euro lt^tromptly. Tins third step Is tho de velopment of cutarrh, which gradually becomes chronic. The fourth step, tho catarrh begins to spread from tho head lo tho throat, thon to tho bronchial tubes, and finally Into the lungs. Ills thon consumption In tho'flrst stage.

Dr. Hibson culls attention to tbe fuct that dreams depend on some other media than those known as the live senses. A conclusive evidence in fa vor ol’ tills view Is found In the cir cumstances that even Uie blind ure able to see In dreams, as witness ex periences recorded by Helen Keller, “Blind Torn,” the poet Milton and oth ers; hence the conclusion seems to be unavoidable that It is only us fur as physical vision Is concerned that Uie optic nerve guides und limits tho field of vision.
