condition it needs only some exciting cause like exposure to night air,
op. chilly weather, or the cold, bleak winds of winter, to arouse
e slumbering poisons and bring on Rheumatism. The severity
of the attack depend upon the amount of acid in the blood and the

WORD BOOKS.
Johnaoa'a Dictionary and Pome of
Those That Went Before It.
We are accustomed to speak of
Johnson's Dictionary as if It were a
new invention, the very beginning of
English word-books; but it had an old
parentage, going back to manuscripts
of the seventh century. The first
book, however, that received the name
of dictionary was published in 1533,
and from that time there were various
volumes calculated to eluddate the En
gllsh language "as she la spoke."
In 1721 Nathaniel Bailey, a -schoolmaster,
put forth a book which aimed
at collecting all the words of " the lan
guage. When he had assembled them,
his definitions were "enough to make
a cat laugh." Indeed, the cat Is there
defined as "a creature well known," as
the horse is "a beast well known," and
man is "a creature endowed with rea
son." The two great volumes of Johnson's
Dictionary which appeared in 1755,
contained fewer words than Bailey's,
but the authors differed in purpose,
Bailey was merely a word-collector.
Johnson aspired to settle the use of
standard English. Therefore the old
lady who remarked that she had read
the book through and found it very in
teresting, although rather disconnect
ed, was wise as well as funny. In Il
lustration of standard usage, she found
the dictionary enriched hy
from the best authors.
vIt was a wonderful work for any
man to have accomplished in eight
years. Johnson had brought order out
of chaos, and he worked alone. There
is a depth of pathos in his definition of
a lexicographer as "a harmless drudge
that busies himself In tracing the
original and detailing the significance
of words."
He had bargained with the booksell
era to do the work In three years, but
the time stretched wearily out to eight,
and when the last sheet had been car
ried to the printer Johnson asked the
messenger on his return:
'Well, what did he say?"
"Sir," answered the boy, "he said,
Thank God I have done with him!' "
The lexicographer smiled.
"I am glad," said he, "that he
thanks God for anything."
Plain Covers and Iron Clasps.
Of all famous colonial preachers no
other had the gift of style and the mas
tery of words that distinguished Jona
than Ed-wards. The celebration of the
bicentennial of his birth revealed to
many of us that he was not merely a
great clergyman, but the only notable
American man of letters in the eight
eenth century besides Benjamin Frank
lln and Thomas Paine.
He must have said powerful things
to his congregation which are not in
his writings. Some of his utterances
have come down to us.
"Do you believe in the absolute
truth of the Bible?" some one asked
him at a public assemblage.
"The Bible is faith itself and full
of golden truths," replied Edwards,
firmly. .
, "Then why are people so reluctant
to accept those truths?"
"Because" Edwards' face grew
wrathful "the book that contains the
truths has not golden clasps on it.
Golden clasps to hold together golden
truths. Ah, people would then steal
what they will not now accept!"

One of the witnesses called by the po

defendant's counsel asked him:
"On first going Into the room, did
you pay a shilling fee to the defend
ant?" "Yes," was the reply.
"What did aha tell you in return for
the money?"
"Oh," aald the' witness, "she towd
me lots o' things some on 'em true,
some on 'em half true, an' some on 'em
lees!"
"Now," continued the counsel, after
the laughter had died away, "this Is

any attempt at Imposition? Did the
lady impose upon you at nil?"
"Oh. dear, no," was the response. "I

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Miss Muriel Armitage
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recov
ery After Years of Suffering
Miss Muriel Armitage. 36 Greenwood
Ave., Detroit, Mish., District Organiser
of the Royal Templars of Temper ance
in a recent letter, says:
"I think thnt a woman naturally
shrinks from milking her troubles pub
lic, but restored health lins mciint so
much to nie thnt I feel for the sake of
other Bufl'ering women it is my duty to
tell what Peruna has done for me.
"I suffered for rive years with uter
ine irregularities, which brought on
hysteria and mnde me a physiculwreck.
I tried doctors from the different
schools of medicine, but without any
pereeptibte change in my condition.
In my despair I culled on un old nurse,
who advised me to trv Peruna, and
promised good results if I would persist
and take it regularly. I thought this
was the least 1 could do and procured a
bottle. 1 knew as soon as I began tak
ing it that it was affecting me differ
ently from anything 1 hnd used before,
and so I kept on taking it. I kept this
up for six months, and steadily gained
strength and health, mid when I hail
used fifteen bottles I considered myself
entirely cured. I m u grateful, h:ppy
woman today." Miss Muriel Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh of tbe pelvic or
gans with the same suretv ns it cures
cut turn of the head. 1'eruna has be
come renowned ns a positive cure for
female ailments simply because the ail
ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca
tnrrh is the cause of the trouble. Peru
na cures the catarrh. The symptoms
disappear.
Female Weakness Is Pelvic
Catarrh
Always Half Sick are the Women
Who Have Pelvic Catarrh
Catarrh of any organ, if alloiyod to
progress, will affect the whole body.
Catarrh without nervousness is very
rare, but pelvic catarrh and nervousness
go hand in hand.
What is so distressing a sight as a
poor half-sick, nervous woman, suffer
ing from the many almost unbearable
symptoms of pelvic catarrh? She does
not consider herself ill enough to go
to bed, but she is far from being able
to do her work without the greatest ex
haustion. This is a very common sight
and is almost always due to pelvic
catarrh.
It is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently.
It cures old chronic cases ns well as a
slight attack, the only difference being
in the length of time that it should be
taken to effect a cure.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
na, write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giv
ing a full statement of your case, and
he will be placsed to give you his valu
able advice gratis.
