A Oueen's Opinion.

What q peculiar feeling is exper-
fenced by Americans t5he first time
they gaze upon royalty. Here, IN this
free country, where every citizen IS a
king and every mother is queen, q
peep at royalty or titled princes and
potentates does not come very often.
Morbid curiousity often leads our citi-
zens to act in manner unbecoming
their high estate. Peruna is fast max
ing its way throughout the land and
is becoming known. Everywhere that
it is used by the sick and afflicted, ii
makes wonderful cures, and is given
all the praise for its good work.
j.. NJ. Queen writes from Johns
town, w Va, that he has been sorely
afflicted for several years, but he was
urged to try Peruna, which he did
and he now feels that he is about ovel
his trouble, and considers it the great
est medicine in the world. He says
he has to go or send distance OF tif-
teen miles to obtain sPeruna, but il
will repay him for this.S Ask for it at
the nearest drug store.

Sleeping Together.

Somebody has said that more quar-
rels occur between brothers, between
sisters between hired girls,
between clerks in stores, between ap-
prentices in mechanics shops, be-
tween hired men, between husbands
and wives, owing to electrical changes
which their nervous systems undergo
by lodging together night after night
under the same bedclothes, than by any
other disturbing cause. There is moth
ing that will so derange the nervous
system of person who is eliminative
in nervous force than to lie all night
in bed with another person who is alb
sorbent in nervous force. The absor-
Der will go to sleep and rest all night;
while the eliminator will be tumbling
and tossing, restless and nervous,
and wake up in the morning fretful,
peeYish. faultfnding, and discouraged.
No two persons, no matter who they
are, should h habitually sleep together.
One will thrive and the other will lose.

this part Of the East, and wherever
introduced soon take the lead Of all

these pills will cure headache every

They also promise to send sheet of
