DAMAGES FOH MORPHINE HABIT
Cnrltm l.uwsiill Heccnlly Tried In tlio
Imultsli Cimrt.
The Ihigllsh medical Journals con
tain reports of u curious law suit
with h has Just been on trial In an lhi-
gllsh court. A nurse brought action
against her physician for alleged mnl
praellce In prescribing morphine for
her III therapeutic doses, mid thereby
Inducing In her the morphine habit.
I'ho doctor wus accused of negligence
nnd n desire to get rid of a trouble
some patient. It I lo the credit of
the Jury Hint, having I trim I the plain-
tiff's side of the case, they stopped the
rial, mid expressed Ihe opinion Hint
the action ought never to havo been
brought.
Tho case suggests some rather curl
on rellectlous We do not doubt that
somo physicians lire sometimes rather
cureless ln prescribing such drugs ns
morphine mid cocaine! hut it. would be
llllleult to apportion Ihe exact degree
of responsibility nnd thu exact amount
of dninugcs, If every morphlno llend
wero to havo redress In court from
every physlclmi who htul ever pre
scribed u dou of such drugs for him
or her. The precedent established by
ono such enso would bo rather dis
quieting to every doctor In active prac
tice. In this lhiglish ensu tho fact
that tho plaintiff was n nurse, and
know well tho dnngcrous effects of
tho drug which sho continued tnUIng
of her own accord, should hnvo been
enough to satisfy her lawyers that slro
had no claims either In justlco or In

The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is Incoodcon-
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous, ror men all reiuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As n blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
lias no cental. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains notnlnerals, but ia

No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im-
purities. Attne

This recognition of tho Interest I

Monkey and I'nt of Jam.
A sweet little story concerning a pet
monkey and a pot of Jam Is vouched
for hy a Johns Hopkins University
man:
It was In the country and all on n
summer's dny the family monkey was
seen scudding homeward literally
drenched In raspberry Jam. lie was
pursued by an Irate neighbor with up
lifted broom, but once safe on to the
home plat he swung himself lightly
Into the nearest tree nnd pcncefully
listened to her tale of wrong.
It seems the neighbor had some
hours before been making Jam, a great
bowl of which sat cooling on a table
beneath the trees. Tills the monkey
spied, but had scarcely started liberal
ly helping himself to It when he was
discovered. With loud outcry and tho
broom the lady started toward him,
when the mischievous beast, knowing
his minutes were numbered, hastily
overturned the bowl ou the table.
Then rolling himself Joyously In It sev
eral times from head to heels he scam
pered beyond her reach. During the
recital of her woe, and, in fact, for tho
remainder of the dny, the monkey snt
scooping the sweetmeat from his body
and licking his paws with glee.
A Curious Tip.
A certain little Flemish watering
place, which Is much frequented by
English and American visitors in the
summer, possesses two attractions In
the shape of a Presbyterian place of
worship and a roulette table. One of
the "faithful" bad qulto recently a
most Ingenious Idea, says the London
Times. After the number of tho hymn
succeeding the sermon was given ha
stole away, made bis way to the table,
and Invested ull he was worth on the,
number of the hymn. Needless to say
the number turned up, and tho lucky
coup became tho talk of the village for
the rest of the week. Next Sunday
the church was crammed to the door.
The pious pastor was rejoiced In heart.
After a powerful address he gave out
"Hymn No. 27." The moment the
words left his lips, to his consterna
tion there was a rush to the door, nnd
be was left with a faithful handful to
upraise their agitated strain of praise.
As for tho rest, they made a bee line
from the house of prayer to the bouse
of play. We are happy to relate that
their little adventure cost them very
dear.

A Judge's Wife.'
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis,
Minn., bs follows:
'I suffered for years with a pain In
the small of my back and right side.
It Interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and I never supposed
that I would bo cured, ns tho doctor'
medicine did not seem to help me any.
"Fortunately a member of our Or
der advised me to try I'cnina and gavo
It such high praise that I decided to try
It. Although I started In with llttlo
faith, I felt so much better in a week
that I felt encouraged.
"1 took It faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy Indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fall
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more Is tho best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Pcruna
I enjoy that now." Mlnnlo E. McAl
lister. Tho great popularity of Tcruna as a
catarrh remedy lias tempted many pco
plo to Imitate Peruna. A groat mnny
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to Lo found In many drug
stores. These remedies can be pro
cured by the druggist much cheater
than Peruna. Pnrjna can only be ob
tained at a uniform prhe, and no drug,
gist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that drtigignts nro tempted
to substitute tho cheap imitations of
Peruna for Pcruna. It is done ovcry
day without a doubt.
