How the Pests Are Discouraged In the

The rayages of woodchucks in clover
fields and garden patches are so dreaded
by farmers that a country boy seldom
appeals in vain for half holiday to go
woodchuck hunting. Hunting wood

comes coughing and sneezing out of

chick sits up on the heaped-up gravel

for the sportsman to send bullet
through him. If the first shot is a
miss, the hunter doesn't bother his
head about getting second one, know
ing that uncomfortable curiosity will
speedily tempt the animal out again.
His own curiosity is the only thing that
will bring woodchuck out of his hole.
Old hunters say that pouring water in
is as Intellectual as turning it into
sieve, as the woodchuck is wise enough
to build second story 10 his house at

II these they deserve to take a high rank,

course of years these very elements may
CONT nc to the rulnation Of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this wide spread complaint,
but none of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S S. Goudy, of Massilon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
sia for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
is a wonderful remedy.
