WHAT IS PE-RU-NA? Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or Is It Both? . Some people call Feruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Ia it more proper to call Teruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? - Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic tmd,. a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh renieuy 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 mucouB 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 CI'DEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medi cal agents is formed in 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. 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 OnlycDonhtfnl Citizen.

Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West Fourth St., Olympia, Wash., says: For. over three years I suffered with a dropsical . condition without ., rJ xt;. ifc wa3 due to kid ney trouble. The early stages Were principally back ache and bearing down pain, but I went along with out worrying much until dropsy set In. My feet and an kles swelled up, my hands puffed and became so . tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breath ing, and my heart would nutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again1 to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress ' have disappeared."

"Iff ITh TUTFO IT llkM m CAN NOT BEt 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 13 apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application,' in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on. the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not feach 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 CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in 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 dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma 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 on 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. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead l-y Qo zyo PURELY VEGETABLE ju!i wuai is neeuea in every case oi K.neu matism.

Tll SWIFT SPECIFIC COf ATLANTA, GA, The End of Book. What brings 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 to ashes. What became of the Alexandrian li brary? Did the Saracens burn It In C40? There Is this question asked: Wa9 there any library at Alexandria containing 700,000 books? Gibbon In clines to 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 Theodoslus Is not known. It looks as If the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo rations of Alexandria In 1805-0(5 show no traces of the serapeum. 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 to water. Books of to-day taken to India, to the Southern States and to the W:est Indies perish through mildew. , PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

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 milk 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 proteids 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., Cantlon. "Why do you avoid making speeches yourself ?" asked the friend.

S. S. S. is composed of both purifying and tonic properties A Little Lesson In Patriotism It lalrelated upon good authority that when the masterly work of Joseph Story on "The Conflict of Laws" ap peared, the Lord Chancellor of Eng land sent his judicial wig to the American J Jurist, with an Inscrip tion In It which read: "From a Lord Chan cellor to one who de serves to be." The anecdote well Illustrates the regard In which Story was held In England, a re gard which was JOSEPH STOBY, shared by continental Europe as well. With John Marshal!, he shared the honor of being one of the greatest expounders of human Justice and human reason this country ever has produced. Among American Jurists Story stands In the front rank of those who have been distinguished for their profound and 66gaclous Interpretation of the law. Always a student, he added to his scholarly attainments a profound desire to use the truths he discovered for the benefit of his country. He per mitted no prejudice to come between his judgment and his decision. He was only 32 years of age when he was appointed one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United State In 1811, an office he continued to hold until his death, In 1845. It Is difficult to understand to-day the situation with which Story had to deal. The Jaw was In a state of chaos, and it Is due to his efforts that a major part of It hag been placed In the form In which It Is to-day. He was one of the men who acted for the Interests of his country instead of self-interest, and whom, lu consequence, she honors as one of her great sons. MAN DRESSMAKER OF PARIS. His Method of Work How He Get! an Inspiration. , Paris has a man dressmaker,' and he Is no ordinary creature, according to the Woman's Home Companion. He Is a slim young man with a long nose and big, winsome eyes. Wearing a gray frock coat and patent leather shoes corseted and powdered and perfumed he Is more than a man; he is a dress maker. He Is saturated with dandyism. It Is not of an offensive kind. His manners are a strange mixture of humility and Insolence, for he is at once a salesman and an artist. And he talks, talks, talks 'bending his slim body into polite curves gesticulating with his thin white hands rolling his eyes in their painted orbits, the while he fumbles silks and velvets and satins and lace and wool. The mere man who comes Into a dressmaker's shop of an afternoon In Paris no one goes to the dressmaker's save only In the . afternoon begins by sneering at this fantastic creature. That mood does not last long. Contempt gives way to admiration. There Is some thing marvelous in the way this lord of , lace and ribbon dominates the wom en the royal highness as well as the spoilt actress. ' He is charming; he Is frivolous. Then of a sudden his face darkens; he becomes serious ; he stares at. her royal highness, studying her form from head to foot; he smites his brow, and cries despairingly : "No, no 1 I can't see you In that gown to-day; I can't see you In any gown I will study an Inspira tion will come you must wait." And royalty goes away, flattered, she knows not why. And He Waa. The other day a man and a boy came Into a shop to buy a hat. After a time the man was fitted to one. Looking In the glass, he said to the youngster, 'How do I look In this hat?" "Like a thief," promptly responded the boy. The man angrily darted toward htm, but ths boy fled from the shop, pur sued by the man. The shopkeeper laughed and thought It all very funny until their long absence made him real ize that he had been robbed. Then he stopped . laughing. London Telegraph. Ineffective Serum.
