Is Pe-runa Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a lilt o f the ingredient* o f Pe-
m na be submitted to any medical ex
pert, o f whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one o f them was o f un
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
yoars’ experience in the treatment oi
such diseases. THERE CAN BE HO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS W H AT
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 o f catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COX-
BINHD KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl
edge o f the modern pharmacist; and last
but not least, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of Dr. Hartman,
inthenseof catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment o f catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic 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. I t may be o f the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the na
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT TH EY ALL FAILED TO
BRING A N Y RELIEF.
Dr. Hartman’s idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is m akingit; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and oi
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
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 o f the critics.

“ Donald,” tbe deer, bolds a gallant
place. Archibald Forbes gives his his
tory In “The Black Watch.”
Donald was adopted by the Royal
Highlanders when they were ordered
to Edinburgh Castle In 1836. He was
a youngster with tiny antlers, which
did not havs to be cut then, as they
were later.
When the regiment went to Glasgow,
Donald marched with them. Boon he
began to develop mischievous propen
sities. He objected strongly to In
truders when the company was exer
cising on Glasgow Ureen.
In 1838 Donald discovered his true
role. Without any previous training
he took bis place at the head of the
regiment, alongside of the sergeant-
major. Whether marching for exer
cise, out marching In winter, or at
guard-mounting, Donald was never ab
sent
He accompanied the regiment
on all garrison field-days, roaming off
to feed while the mnnoeuvers were
going o n ; wandering sometimes a mile
away, but always back at hit poet In
time for the march, except on one oc
casion.
He mistook his regiment, and trotted
along ahead of the 79th. He presently
discovered his error, and became un
easy and arrogant
When the com
pany turned off to their barracks Don
ald refused to accompany them, and
tbe colonel ordered six men to hand
their muskets over to their comrades,
and to escort the deer back to hta own
Royal Brigade. He never made a sim
ilar mistake.
When the regiment was on guard

the crowd In the streets. I f any one
Interfered with him he gave chase.
One sad day Donald's regiment went
abroad, and the deer was handed over
to a new company. These successors
did not understand him. They did not
give him litter for bis bed or oata for
his dinner, and be soon declared war
against the whole regiment A bri
gade trooper hardly dared cross the
square If Donald was In sight. At
last he became ao Ill-tempered It was
decided to turn him loose In a park.
His lordahlp who owned the estate
promised to look well after Donald’s
comfort.
Twenty-two years later the lleuten-
aut-colonel of Donald's old regiment
returned to Glasgow, and one of the
flrat things he did wns to Inquire after
the company’s deer. The story which
was told him was a melancholy one.
From the day he was set free In the
park he declined to have anything to
do with man or beast. He became so
fierce, and so many complaints were
entered against him, that at the end
of two years he was shot

Nature's vegetable
antidote
for
spring fever Is tbe muBtard tribe, which
plays an Important role in the spring
flora and furnishes a tonic to systems
wearied with the monotony of winter
fare. To this fiery family belongs the
first spring blossom of our middle
States— the little whitlow grass whose
tiny white flowers si>eckle the brown
turf of old fields In March.
Better known to the average coun
try rambler Is that companion of the
bepatlca In rich woods— the pepper
root, whose drooping white or rose-
colored bells are among the loveliest of
all our early spring (lowers. This plant
has a tuberous, creeping root, contract
ed at intervals so us somewhat to re
semble a short necklace.
The peppery quality o f tbe root,
which Is tender and delicate like a
young radish, gives to the plant Its
common name, and no spring picnic In
the backwoods Is complete without Its
salnd of fresh-pulled pepper root One
species found In mountainous districts
has knotted root stocks a foot long and
la sometimes called crinkle root
Another o f the wild mustard tribe
with beautiful flowers Is the bitter
cress, of which several species are na
tive to our wet meadows and brook«.
The commonest bloom* from April to
June. Its clusters of large, white four-
petaled blossoms making Irresistible
posies about cool springs and along
field runnel«
Tbe European cuckoo flower la a
specie* of bitter cress, but while In
digenous to some northern States is
rather rare. Its snowy flowers, like
miniature white smocks hung out to
bleach— aa was the annual spring cus
tom among rustic maids o f Shakes
peare's day— are responsible for the
name o f "lady’s smock," by which the
plant goes In old English literature.
Tbe familiar pepper gras# plucked
for canaries la a wild mustard, too,
and Is nibbling not to be despised by
the human lover of pungency.
So,
also, Is shepherd's purse, that humble
denizen of every waste lot and neglect
ed back yard— a plant which, according
to Gray, enjoys tbe distinction o f be
