Eminent Testimony.

IN. Y. Witness, Aug. 10, IoSO.I
81 find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they contain
he extracts of hops and other well-known
and highly approved medicinal roots, leaves
and tinctures in quantities sufficient to rem
der the article what the makers claim 1t to
be, to wit, medicinal preparation and not
a beverage-unfit and unsafe to be used ex-
cept as medicine.
s'From careful analysis of their formula
which was attested under oath-I find
that in every wine-glassful of Hop Bitters,
the active medicinal properties aside from
the distilled spirits are equal to full dose
for an adult, which fact, in my opinion,
subjects it to an internal revenue tax as
medicinal bitter"

HOW BEST FULFILLED.


HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
.terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infirrnity touch
the frall creature whose moral, intellect.
ual and physical being is derived from
herr She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which IN time to come will be
part of themselves, and bless generations
yet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of Ills existence She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of strong and healthy
body The preparation of DIR. S. b.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is Just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable TO women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced 10 try PERUNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERyNA. Mr.. ].
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. Housed PERUNA,
and as result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, St. Clair, St.
Clair county, Mich, says: {" 1 have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
lily of children are ever liable, and find
it in every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
