What are you going to do with such evidence? Are you gotng to turn away from it and listen only to the talk of people who probably never saw a bottle of Peruna, certainly never tried a bottle of it, who have nothing else to do but to talk about other people’s affairs? Are you going to listen to such people as that, instead of accepting the testimony of those who know? There may be a few -people so constituted as to be able to perform such a men' ll feat But the sensible people, the reliable people, the brawn and brain *f the world who are governed by principles of justice and common sense, are going to accept the clear, pointed and undoubted testimony of a man of national repu tation who knows what he is talking about.- 4. • t*.
