THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME
Are Never Without Peruna in the House for
Catarrhal Diseases.
MR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, Ma
Under date of January 10, 1S97, Dr.
Hsrtman received the following letter:
"My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past 25
years.
"Her case had baffled the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One of her worst trembles was chronic
constipation of several years' standing,
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman change of life. In Jane,
1895, 1 wrote to yoa about her case.
Yoo advised a coarse of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
and have to say it completely cared
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead enly for those
wonderful remedies.
"A boot the same time I wrote yon
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of 25 years' standing. At
times I was almost past going. I com
menced to use Peruna according to your
instructions and continued its use foi
about a year, and it has completely
cared me.

Is here in earnest, and with it all the miserable symptoms of Catarrh
return blinding headaches and neuralgia, thick mucous discharges
from the nose and throat, a hacking cough and pain in the chest, bad
taste in the mouth, fetid breath, nausea and all that makes Catarrh the
most sickening and disgusting of all complaints. It causes a feel sag of per
sonal defilement and mortification that
In the company of others.
In spite of all efforts to prevent it,
the filthy secretions and mucous mat
ter find their way into the Stomach
and are distributed by the blood, to
every nook and corner of the system;'
the Stomach and Kidneys, in fact
very organ and part of the body, be
come infected with the catarrhal
poison. This disease is rarely, if ever,
even in itsearliest stages, a purely local
disease or simple inflammation of the
nose and throat, and this is why sprays,
washes, powders and the various in
haling mixtures fail to cure. Heredity
is sometimes back of it parents have
It and so do their children.
In the treatment of Catarrh, anti
septic and soothing washes are good for cleansing purposes or clearing the
head and throat, but this is the extent of their usefulness. To cure Catarrh
permanently, the blood must be purified and the system relieved of its load
of foul secretions, and the remedy to accomplish this is S. S. S. which has
membrane and is carried through the circulation to all the Catarrh infected
portions of the body, they soon heal, the mucous discharges cease and the
patient is relieved of the most offensive and humiliating of all complaints.
, S. S. S. is a vegetable remedy and contains nothing that could injure the
most delicate constitution. It cures Catarrh in its most aggravated forms
and cases apparently incurable and hopeless. Write us if you have Catarrh'
and our physicians will advise you without charge. '
" THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, OAs
In a tetter dated January 1, 1900,
Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' ex
pel lence with Peruna:
"1 will ever continue to speak a good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a
traveling man I am a walking adver
tisement tor Peruna and have Induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. I am still cured of catarrh.'
John O. Atkinson,
Box 27a. Independence, Mo,
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Bach cases cannot be treated locally:
nothing but an effective systemic reme
dy could care them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.

satsifactory results from the use of Pe

Language of Parrot.
Do parrots understand what they
say? A scientist relates that he has
a Brazilian parrot which is a fluent
and accomplished speaker. A gray
parrot was introduced on day, but the
Brazilian hautily declined to have
anything to say to the gray. Then a
neighbor who has Just been given a
newly Imported green Brazilian
brought the newcomer to call. The
moment the parrots caught sight of
Mh-ether -they-broke Into a torrent
of apparently articulate language,
consisting, as it seemed, of questions
and answers, but what the language
was no one present could tell. The
owner of the first parrot had never
during the years it had lived with
him heard it speak the strange
tongue. The two parrots talked to
each other without ceasing all the
time they were together, and a few
days later, when they rot again, ei

RINGS WITH EVIL POWERa
Bnperstltlon Attached to ManyThlnss
Apparently Borne Out
Some of the most weird and curious
romances are associated with possess
ions which appear to have no other
purpose than to bring misfortune and
trouble on those who own them. A
tragic instance of this is related in con
nection with the Llndsey family.
According to the legend, Colin LInd
eey, a iormer eon or uaicarres, was
quietly eating his breakfast when he
should have been awaiting his bride at
the altar. When reminded of the fact
he hurried oft to the church and, for
getting the Indispensable ring, borrow
ed one from a friend which he duly
placed on tne bride s finger.
at. me conclusion or tne ceremony
the newly made countess took a glance
at the ring and on seeing that It bore
grinning death's head, suddenly
fainted away. The Incident affected
her to such an extent that on recover
ing conclousness, she expressed her
conviction that she was destined to die
within twelve months. And sure
enough in less than that period her
life came to an end.
Napoleon III. was the possessor of
two rings, which be constantly wore.
and which had belonged to his prede
cessor, Napoleon I., who was a fatalist
In the fullest meaning of the term.
When Napoleon III. died It was pro
posed that these rings should be re
moved from his finger, but the Prince
Imperial refused to have them.
They were accordingly buried with
his father at Chtselhurst, and, so far
from regarding them from the same
point of view a the prince, the Eiu
peror'a domestic retatnere firmly be
lieved that he would come to an un
timely end for discarding the rings.
And when, tn 1S79, the uufortunate
young man met his death at the hatuU
of the Zulus, against whom he wa
fighting for England, thoy saw In this
deplorable event the realisation of
their fears.
One of the best-known public men
in New Zealand, a wealthy resident of
Hoklnngl, North Island, recently trav
elde all the way to St. Louis In a fruit
less eudeavor to have an Idol cremated
which had cast an. evil spell over hltn.
The heathen Idol had come to him as
part of a legacy from his grandfather,
to whom It had been presented by a
Maori chief. Said Its owner: "I have
traveled 10.000 miles with the Imago,
and It has brought disaster after disas
ter upon me. I have often endeavor
ed to destroy It, but without avail.
"I once threw It under a train, and.
In running to get out of the way, fell
and broke oue of my fingers. Then 1
was arrested for endangering the live
of passengers. When In Ixmdon three
months ago I threw It Into the Thames,
and a drunken sailor who fished It out
brought It back to my rooms, and In
his rage at not receiving a reward al
most beat me to death.
"While In San- Francisco I tried to
chop It to pieces with an ax, when the
ax, rebounding, struck me on the fore
head with almost fatal effect The
wood Is so hard that an ordinary fire
will not destroy It, and I am afraid to
get rid of It otherwise because of the
evil results.'
The image was a crude figure tn rose
wood and ebouy, and about two feet
long. Falling to get It cremated In St
Louis, Its owner started for New York, ;
where he was determined to have It
destroyed at whatever cost

MOTTO FOR NEW YEAR.
Eat Whatever Yoa Want, But Be Sure
and Have Oood Teeth.
Now that the holiday spirit is preva
lent everywhere it is a gcod time to be
a little selfish and think what would
be the best Dresent to give to oneself.
Why isn't a good sot of teeth one ol
the beet things you can have in thia
life?
Wise Bros., the famous dentists Ic
the Failing building, Portland, Oregon,
have had a large run of business during
( these holidays, probably somewhat in
consequence of the people's special de-
sire just now to make themselves sensi
ble presents.
Why don't you go to this firm before
the new year and have your teeth look
ed after?
When you come to think of it, there
is nothing we want more than a sound
set of teeth. Our health and all our
happiness depend much upon what we
eat. If we cannot masticate our food
properly we are restricted to only a few
eatables, and even in their case we can
not properly chew and digest our food.
Not long ago the fear of pain the and
great expense of dental work kept near
ly all the ma ces away from dentists.
Now it is all different. There is posi
tively no pain when such dentists as
Wise Brothers do yonr work. Wi-e
Brothers' charges, also, are in reality
very moderate. If your teeth are ap
parently in good order the best way is
to go sntl have them looked over so as
to be sure that they are all right anfl
in sound condition. If your teeth are
decayed, then the best way is not to
lose any more time but go immediately
and have the bad teeth taken out.
Even if you have to get an entire new
set the expenee will be trifling in com
parison with the great and lasting bene
fits you will detive from having a set of
teeth that look for all the world like
the natural ones, and which will serve
you in every respect nearly as well as
your own that grew in your mouth.
The popularity of this great dental
firm, Wise Brothers, whose signal suc
cess we have from time to time noted
in these columns, is much to be desired.
They have proved to everbyody that we
need not suffer any longer with bad
teeth and poor food. We can all eat
what is good for us, and we all can
afford to have the best teeth in the
world.
Extracting teeth without pain was a
short time ago a myth. Now it is a
grand reality.

THO BLOOD,
The blond Is life. We derive from
the blood life, power, beauty, and rea
son, as the doctors have been raying
from time Immemorial. A healthy
body, a fresh appearance, and generally
all Uie abilities we possess depend on
that source of life. It Is therefore the
duty of every sensible man to keep tin
blood as pure and normal as possible.
Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us a thermometer indictaing the
state of the blood, which appeals to our
reason by giving notice of its Impurity.
Small eruptions of the skin, to which
we scarcely pay any attention, head
ache, ringing noise In the ears, lassi
tude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign
that the blood is not In It normal
state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve our
full attention, it more attention weie
paid to those symptoms, and steps taken
to remove them, then many illnesses
from which we suffer would become un
known, and the human body would be
come stronger and healthier. Atten
tion therefor should be paid to those
warning signs, and the blood can be
purified and poisonous substances re
moved from it by the use of Dr. Augutt
Koenlg'e Hamburg Drops, discovered
more than til) year ago.
