Az EGYPTIAN CUSTOM is stated
that the ancient Egyptians, when they,
feasted, always had skeleton mt the
table with them. This was for the
purpose of reminding them, even in
the midst of mirth and rcvelry, death
was apt to come. Let him come
when he will and lie is unwcIcome.
The Egyptians sought to teach that
all should prepare for the grim mon
ster and be ready to follow him, let
him call when lie would. The lesson
can well be remembered to-day. All
should live prepared to die ut any
moment. and all should learn now
while in the full enjoyment OF health
and its pleasures, that Peruna is the
greatest remedy in the world for tho
diseases to which flesh is heir. 1t
can be procured at any drug store,
Ask your druggist for Pergaa, the
great tonic.
