The greatest medical experts agree
that duration of life depends more
than anything else upon saving the
vital forces and bridging over critical
periods with the least possible pain.
1t is pain more than anything else
that saps and weakens the vitals.
The greatest pain alleviator known
is Mansfeld's Magic Arnica Liniment,
the prompt use of which, whether for
man or animal, tends to prolong life
and give opportunity for greater ac-
tivity and usefulness.
The man or woman who suffers pain
needlessly or who allows the dumb
creation around and depending upon
them to suffer when it can be so
quickly and surely avoided by this
wonderful utilization of natures best
anodide, is guilty Of neglect that
may cause them serious regret and
the saddest consequences.
Not only the physical but the men
tai powers are dependent upon this
avoidance of pain, and no family
should be without this wonderful pal
iative to use instantly in case of acct
dent or for any affliction that is &C
campanied oy pain.

Rise at the Same Time to Say That
There Is a Remedy
For Coughs and Colds, Which, Though
All Else Fails, 1t Never Fails.
The Wise Give Heed to Counsel.


CAGLETTSBURG, Ky.
DE-. 5. u. Hartman. In the early
part of last winter | contracted a Sc
we're cold, attended with bad cough;
then, being exposed during the late
flood, added to my disability. / have
taken your Pe-ru-na with best results.
My cough has entirely left, soreness
is gone, and am increasing in flesh.
Il. j. EWING.
LIVERPOOL, Oh
DR.. S. b. Hartman q Co., Columbus,
O.-Sirs: L used several bottles of Pc
ru-na; it cured my cough. My throat
and lungs were choked up with plegm
and / had suffered greatly.
MARGARET WAGNER.
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex, Feb. IS, '91.
1 hereby certify that 1 was cured of
a very severe cough by one bottle of
Pe-ru-na, after having used two pre-
scriptions from my family physician
and one other cough remedy to no ad-
vantage. e. r. MCKINNEY.
To stop cough in any other way
than to check the secretions is as fool
ish as it is harmful. The true cough
medicine is the one that cures the
congested membranes, and thus stops
the discharges, when the cough ceases
of it's own accord. Anything that will
prevent the formation of the irritating
secretions will permanently cure a
cough, but any cough medicine that
simply quiets the cough will not
only fail to be of any lasting benefit,
but do great harm by lulling the SEN
sitiveness of the nerves that ought to
be const antly on the guard. 1t is to
be regretted that most cough medi-
cines have the latter effect. The OPP
GRAFTON of cough medicine that SIM
ply stops the cough without removing
the cause is much quicker sometimes
the first dose stopping it entirely.
Hence the temporary popularity of
such harmful medicines.
The cough me 1icine that has been
found always reliable to remove the
cause, and thus stop the cough, is Pc
ru-na. 1t contains no opium or mar
cotic of any kind, and is a sure cure
for all kinds of cough. Pe-ru-na
operates directly to heal the congested
OF inflamed mucuous membranes of
the air-passages and lungs. Pe-ru-na
does not work against natures efforts,
but assists nature. A wineglass-
full of Pe-ru-na in hot water be-
fore going to bed will never
fail to break up cold. A tablespoon
full before each meal and at bedtime
will cure a winter cough permanently
and quickly. Two ounces of rock
candy added to one bottle of Pe-ru-na
and taken as above is the best treat
ment in existence for common cough,
the cough of consumption and chronic
bronchitis, according to the testimony
Of thousands of patients scattered all
over the length and breadth of the
United States. Multitudes have relied I
on Pe-ru-na so long to cure coughs and
all cases of colds, Influenza, hay fever,
bronchitis, catarrh and consumption,
with such good results that they have
all other treatment.
For treatise on catarrh, coughs,
colds, consumption, and all climatic
diseases of winter, send for Family
