WHAT IS PE-RU-NA? Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or Is It Both? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna aa a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is. that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remeuy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circu lation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medi cal agents is formed 4n Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all iti stages and locations in the body. r, From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quart er of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusias tic. When practical experience confirms a' well grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. The Only Donbtfal Citizen.

The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Doan's Kidney Pills.

CAN NOT BE .RUBBED AWAY - It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones' are throbbing and twitching" with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer i3 apt ta turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing sounter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the paia tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real- disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment IT CANXOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to aa excess of uric acid ia the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pain3 are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or damnnpes nr oft-prnti nrrnrlr rvf inrtiVpRtiofi or other irrpfularitTr- "R lipiima.. tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling oa the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life.

J1I SWMFT SPCCIFIQ CO., ATLANTA, GA, The End of Books. What brlng3 about the end of books? Is It fire, water, worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the finis of the book Is Its reduction Jo ashes. What became of the Alexandrian li brary? Did the Saracens burn it lu G40? There Is this question asked : Was there any library at Alexandria containing 700,000 books? Gibbon In clines tp the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor Insists that If there had been a library It was burned in the time of Julius Caesar. Tradition seems to Indicate, however, that there was a library In the sera peum, by no means a large collection, but whether destroyed by Theophilus or Theodosius Is not known. It looks as If the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo rations of Alexandria in J805-9C show no traces of the serapeura. The sea port of Egypt was built on a damp foundation, and granting that there was a library, if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due t water.

Bread 'made from banana flour is common enough In Europe and Eng land. One pound is said to contain more nourishment and energy produc ing material than one pound of the finest beefsteak, Is much more digest ible and less than one-sixth the price. Sir Henry Stanley was a firm believer In the banana. He went so far as to advise that its consumption would cure rheumatism, gout and all liver affec tions. When lying at the point of death from gastritis a light gruel of. banana flour mixed with miik was the only food he could retain and digest. The secret of the 'banana as a health ' and strength producing food lies In Its high percentage of protelds and the great number of its calories, respectively 20 and 391.71. It is a perfectly balanced ration If sliced for breakfast and serv ed with milk and sugar. New York Press. Caution. "Why do you avoid making speeche yourself?" asked the friend.
