DIR. HARTMAN SAYS

La Grippe Never Entirely Leaves the
System.
In a recent medical lecture DIR. Hart
man is reported as saying that when Il
person has once had la grippe he never
fully RECEIVERS unless properly treated.
Not only is the nervous system depressed
and digestive organs deranged, but in q
great number of cases the patient is left
with chronic catarrh. The doctor further
said that the after effects of Ia grippe
were incurable by the ordinary treat
ment. Bitter tonics do no good. nervines
seem to be useless, preparations of iron
and phosphates have proved to be worth
less. These cases, in spite of the many
inyigorating tOnics, continue month after
month and year after year, to be misera-

vous debility. He states that in long
and extensive practice he had found Pe-
ru-na to be the only remedy that could be
of patients to health. The cures made
by Pe-ru-na are permanent and its bene-
fits are lasting.
Surely no greater testimonial to the
value of any medicine could be made.
When noted physician and surgeon
of national reputation and Il writer and
lecturer known from one end of the coun-
try to the other speaks in such unquali-

The Climax of a Dinner

New York Sun: They sat at his favorite
table at an uptown restaurant. Both
were dressed in tho height of fashion.
The attention of the other guests in the
dining room had been attracted to the
couple by the evident anxiety of the
young man to make favorable impress

orders to the waiter with an air of self
styled superiority, and his tone of voice
was warranted to reach the ears of all
those present.
AS the courses progressed, the time for
serving the dessert came. The young
woman was heard to confess weakness
for huckleberry pie.

haste, and as ha set the plates upon the

young woman frowned. then blushed, and

made lasting impression.
