Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a list of the ingredients of Pe
runa be submitted to any medical ex
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs com
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme
dies. Second, well-known and gener
ally acknowledged tonl) remedies.
That In one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years'
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal Ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
In the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a tonio modiclne.
The fact Is, chronic catarrh Is a dis
ease which Is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other Internal organ.
There Is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease.-The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,

Ground Wire Fences.
In the summer season many farmers
eusstaln considerable loss of live stock
from lightning striking wire fences and
killing animals standing near. This loss
can be avoided If the fence is grounded
that is, a connection made between
the wires and the damp soil beneath.
This can be Gone by stapling a No. 0
wire along the post from top to bottom
and burying the end In the ground deep
enough to reach damp earth. These
ground wires should be fastened to
about every third post When the light
ning strikes a fence thus fixed the cur
rent Is conducted Into the ground In
stead of being deflected Into the body
of some animal.
When a storm comes up stock In a
field will naturally drift toward the
fence for protection, especially if there
are no trees In the field. The barbs on
wires attract the lightning, which has
been known to travel several miles on
a fence before it was discharged Into
the ground. Lightning takes the path
of least resistance, and If the body of
an animal Is standing near the fence
It makes a good conductor and the
charge Is deflected, with the result of
t dead horse or cow.
The cost and time needed to ground
a wire fence Is small and need not en
ter into the question, but when a valu
able animal Is kfled, or maybe a whole
herd, as has often happened, the cost
Is then very considerable. While you
may never have hnd any losses of this
kind, It will not pay to put this matter
off, for the next storm that comes np
may be as disastrous to you as It has
been to some of your neighbors. Avoid
It by grounding your wire fences In
time.-oodaH's Farmer.

A War on Inaecte.

of these parasites have been secured,
and at the right moment will be sit

the moths do not recognize the para

presence grateful. They give of their

Trees sad Lightning.
There is a popular belief that certain
trees are less likely than others to be
struiUs by lightning, and that during
a thunderstorm It Is quite safe to stand
under a beech, for example, while the
danger under a resinous tree or an onk
is, respectively, fifteen or twenty tlmoa
greater. This Is disputed In a recent
writing by Dr. A. W. Bothwlek In his I
"Notes of the Royal Botanical Garden
of Edinburgh." The doctor Bajs that j
no tree Is Immune, and the beech Is
struck quite as frequently as any other
species. Apparently the taller trees lu
a neighborhood are the ones-most like
ly to be struck. Contrary to what Is
believed by some people, the cells are
not "ruptured or torn by the formation
of steam, as might happen If the heat
ing by the electric current was very
great The cells collapse and shrink
up, but are never torn." The root sys
tem does not seem to be ever damaged
by lightning.

In fact, the

making him
unsafe espe
cially for la
dles to drive.
Let him see
bltnos tjie house, the machine
coming, let him hear it, let it pass him
slowly nt the other side of the road
the effect is likely to be the same. He
shies, he rears, breaks his harness and
throws the occupants, the carriage
and h'lmself Into the ditch. The horse
cannot see In front of him only to the
right or left. A California man thinks
the safest Nan is to let him see noth
ing at all. .Ie suggests enclosing the
eyes in the novel bridle blind shown
here, which he recently patented. A
pair of blinds are attached to the bri
dle. Nonnolly these blinds remain
open. When the driver sees an ap
proaching automobile he pulls on .
strap which extends to the driver's
seat ond the blinds are folded over the
horse's eyes, completely obscuring his
vision. The danger of the horse be
coming frightened and runulng away
Is thus reduced to a minimum and the
occupants assured of safety.
Waifon Rond Bridge.
' State supervision of all bridges erect
ed Is proposed by State Engineer Fred
erick Skene of New York. v That gen
tleman has drawn up a proposed law
covering the matter. He would require
his approval, as well as the approval
of the county engineer, of the plans
and specifications of every bridge ex
ceeding $500 In cost to be built by a
town. He also recommends that con
tracts for such bridges be required to
be awarded to the lowest bidder, after
the work has been properly advertised,
and, finally, that the approval of the
State engineer be required before pny
inent for a completed bridge Is made.
There Is a low lu that State providing
that the assistance of the State engi
neer may be Invoked to superintend
such constructions, but It has been Ig
nored by the counties and towns, and
contracts have been Irregularly award
ed, with the result that there are many
Inferior structures. Such a law as
that proposed would be the means of
correcting the evils of the existing sys
tem. Animals and Pllea.

Is recommended : Two-thirds linseed oil.
one-tli I rd crude carbolic add. Apply

Malaria is due to impurities in the blood which destroy the rich,
healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid.
The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is
unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system
Buffers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills
and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition.
Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the
blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic
and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for
this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time
an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation,
and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the
health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per
manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which
produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every
part of the system. Book with information about Malaria and any medical
advice furnished free to all who write.
