Afientio1s. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for a merely nom
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can efftct more cures by
the proper and iudicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list ofmedicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased Full
direction for its use VIII be found in the
Ills of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. J. Wright, Business Agent Evening

MANI can not but feel il my duty TO
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit 1 received from the use of your
medicines, PERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on

which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days

Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa.
writes "I have used your PERUNA and
MANAL1N with good results. In the year
of 1880 1 was so bad that could scarcely
wax. l used PERUNA and MANAIIN,
and am now as healthy as l have ever
been. 1 have also recommended it 10
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. H. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes "Our little girl was Paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared 10 get bat little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal of good first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per
sons and found it a success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without

years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her"

InterruDted PRAYERS.

Mrs. Speedy, in her Wandering3 in
the Soudan,' relates the following curl
Gus episode: After long days march
she was just settling herself down to
sleep when ner hest. an Arab telegraph
clerk, separated from her only by athin
partition. began to say bis prayers in d
loud, sing-song chant. She remonstTa-
ted; for time there was silence; size
was falling 10 sleep when the clerk be-
gan his prayers again. Again she re-
menstrated, and again there was brief
silence, to be broken by the pious clerk
who began to pray faster than ever. Ii
was like speaking by machinery; the
whirr and buzz was terrific.
"We learned next morning that our
host belonged to a sect which obliged
him to repeat his prayers aloud, and
which also eLjoined, as one of the most
stringent rules. that the voice of either
woman, dog or donkey, if heard at any
t4me during the service, made it necssa,
ry that the whole Of the prayers should
should be repeated.
