Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a list of the ingredients of Pe
ranabe submitted to any medical ex
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of un
doubted value in chronio catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years' experience in the treatment oi
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER, Peruna is composed of the most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OP SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OP MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl
edgeof the modern pharmacist; andlast
but not least,brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of Dr. Hartman,
in the use o f catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronio catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronio catarrh. They have visited
doctors 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 na-
jure oi me (usease. -me only trouble

cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BEING ANY BELIEF.
Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and oi
the strictest uniformity. His idea ic
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

ad Mistake of an Actor.
An actor without fund managed tn
some way to get a second-class ticket
on a line of steamers running between
Seattle and San Francisco. The voy
age between these two points consumed
the better part of three days and In
view of the fact that his finances were
at low ebb he solved the question In
this way :
The first day out he slept all day to
keep from eating, and remained up all
night to keep from sleeping. The sec
ond day he took physical culture exer
cises. On the third day he could not
stand the strain any longer and went
down 1n the dining room and ordered
the best meal on board the boat.
While eating this meal be could see
In his mind's eye a picture of a cell in
the bastlle in San Francisco. After
finishing his meal he said to the wait
er: "How much do I owe you?"
"Nothing," replied the waiter, "your
meals were included In your t'.ckst."
Good Fellow.
"George, dear," said youne Mrs. Mar-
ryat, "I got a recipe for a fruit cake
to-aay that will keep for a year."
"Oh," replied the husband, "you
ought to keep It longer than that."
"What? Keep fruit cake longer "
"No, the recipe. Mislay It some
where." Philadelphia Press.

It seems that he was invalided home

was stricken with typhoid fever, but
being unable to rad or write, did not
acquaint the officers of his regiment
with his misfortune or ask a friend to
do so. The consequence was that when
nis ruriougu expired he was posted as
a deserter, and while on his way to re
join was arrested
At Aldershot he was tried by court

IS THERE INSANITY P
Abaolate Sanity Declared by Expert
Not to Exist.
Anglo-Saxons are so prone to take
common-sense views of things that they
seldom realize the full force of the fa
miliar saying that all men have some
form of madness In them, says Current
Literature. The second inference Is, as
is pointed out by Dr. G. II. Savage, the
eminent English 'alienist, in a recent
Lancet paper; that perfect sanity would
be not only undesirable In Itself, t-.t
from a strictly scientific point of view
impossible. For a perfectly sane per
sonwere such a thing thinkable
would be dull and uninteresting a
mediocrity, a nonentity. The polut to
seize, however, as Dr. Savage Im
presses upon us, Is that there can be no
comprehensive Idea or definition of in
sanity, because the thing does not
really exist No scientist can set up
any standard of rationality departure
from which would comprise or dnuota
insanity. One can diagnose a case of
typhoid because It is a continued fe
ver characterized by a peculiar course
of the temperature, by marked abdom
inal symptoms, by an eruption upon
the skin. But there Is nothlne In whnt
goes by the name of insanity to further
a diagnosis as that term Is understood
by medical men generally. Some
treatises upon Insanity prove nothing at
all by proving too much, for they make
whole nations insane at once. Fhysl
clans connected w'th Insanity, as Dr
Savage argues, resemble gardeners
rather than botanists. "We classify
for convenience rather than nnon n
scientific basis, because, in point of fact
no such basis or finality of mode has as
yet been discovered."
Perhaps, adds Dr. Savage, there Is
no need to wonder at this, since many
have to be treated as lunatics whose
brains and nervous systems show no
change whatever from the normal
course of what Is recognized as sanltv.
Unfortunately, the Impulse to define
and classify sometimes leads to misin
terpretation of a deploruble kind. Such.
for example. Is the false view, as Dr.
Savage deems It, that every person of
unsound mind Is a lunatic. That, he
says, to a "pseudo-legal" absurdity.
"Obviously there are many persons of
unsound mind who are neither danger
ous to themselves nor to others whv.
therefore, regard them as aliens?" The
true difficulty, Insists this distinguished
expert, is that the disease Insanity does
not exist Yet one might almost con
clude from the elaborate articles In our
leading daily Journals that such a thing
as insanity is a definitely established
scientific fact, that It Is a malady as
definite In its symptoms nnd origin as,
say, cancer or tuberculosis.
ASTRONOMY FOB LANDSMEN.
How a Watch or Clock Slay Be Rear-
nlated by Observing; a Star.
When some investigator makes the
"discovery" that the points of the ooin-
pass can be approximately determined
by looking at the sun and using a
watch to show the divisions of the
plane it is apt to go the rounds of the
press as something very peculiar. If
this discoverer were sufficiently con
versant with the principles of naviga
tion to note for the public benefit that
the running of a watch or clock may
be regulated by observing a star he
might confer some practical benefit.
This is a very simple thing to do and
might be of great use In a country
place where accurate time is not al
ways obtainable, but all that Is neces
sary Is a fixed location on the earth's
surface and any old thing In the way
of a timepiece.
Choose a south window from which
any other fixed point comparatively
near and high, such as a chimney, side
of a building, etc., may be seen. To
the side of a window fasten a piece of
card having a small hole in It, so that
ject some fixed star may be seen.
Watch the progress of the star, and
the Instant it vanishes behind the fix
ed point the observer must note the ex
act time Is disappears. Watch the
same star the following night, and It
will vanish behind the same object

-f
