LOSS OF FLESH.
What Medical Authorities Say as to
the Danger Line.


the Danger Line.
Some Of the best medical authorities
say that IL person loses one-third of
bis weight, that the systam will
not have power enough left to ever re-
cuperate That is to say, if man or
woman who weighs l50 pounds in health
should, for any cause, be reduced to 100
pounds, they could never recover, but
would shortly die. This fixes the dan
ger line at about 83 1-3 per cent. Some
say the per cent. is little higher, and
some say it is little lower. But this
estimate is probably nearly correct.
Are you losing fleshp If so, do you not
know that IL is not only foolish. but dan
RerousP You need not continue to lose
flesh another day II you will uss the
proper remedies Pe-ru-na is a great
flesh producer. 1t is through the mucous
mem branes Of the body that oil the nu-
triton must be absoi bed. II the mu-
oous is healthy, the loss of flesh is rap
idly restored. Pe-ru-na produces healthy
mucous membranes. Unhealthy mucous
membrane is known as catarrh. Catarrh
may be slight or severe. Pe-ru-na al

TRACT OF COAL LAND.
1t is Assigned to J.K. Meaher by Stark
County People in the Cleveland
Insolvency Court.

An assignment Of large tract of coal
land in Stark county, valued at $780,
900, was made In insolvency court at
Cleveland, Thursday, by Mary E. Allen,
and Francis r. Feather, to j. X. Mesher.
1t appears the parties owned the land
jointly. 1t was enoumbered for about
$50, 900, and they concluded that the
quickest and easiest method of getting
out of the difficulty was to make an as
sigument Of the property. Owing to the
inoumbarnoes and hard times they were
unable to dispose of the land at any
thing like its true value.
