Loves a fisher, don't forget;
He will catch you in his net;
He win drag you from the sea,
Rob you OF your liberty.
Loves a dreamer, and for hours
He will sit before the flowers,
Peering deep into their eyes,
Weeping tears and heaving sighs.
Loves a tyrant on his throne;
browning grandly DER his own.
Bidding men to go and come,
Striking all his foeman dumb.
Loves a diplomat sometimes,
Smiling in the farthest chimes
Now at Yeddo, now at Rome
Pleasing whom he serves at home.
Love, in fact, is anything
Warrior, actor, serf or king
In whatever mask he dress,
Lord Of signs and happiness.
Almoner Of life is he,
And his largess--it is free;
Stretch thy hand and thou shalt
find

A SCOURGE OF LA GRIPPE
Is Raging Everywhere, Devastating
City, Town and Country Alike.

Nothing equal to it has ever been
known. We have had la grippe be-
fore in this country in several well
defined epidemics, but not as we are
having it now. Everybody, every
where, has it, has had it or is expect
ing to have 1T. In every paper we
read of it. Every one we meet
speaks of it. Perhaps the worst
feature about la grippe is that it is
almost sure to leave consequences be-
hind it which are far worse than the
original disease. But it could not
have been otherwise than that some
things have been learned, during
these sieges with la grippe. Untold
thousands have learned these things
but still greater multitude perhaps
have these things yet to learn.
First, that Pe-ru-na taken before
each meal and at bedtime will pro-
tect any one from having la grippe.
Second, that Pe-ru-na taken every
hour during the acute stage of Ii
grippe will shorten its duration anc
prevent the long train of disagreeablt
consequences which follow the acute
attack. Third, that in cases where
Pe-ru-na has not been used during
the acute stage and the victim finds
himself dragging out miserable ex
istence from the damage to his sys,
TEN accomplished by la grippe, he
has only to take Pe-ru-na according
| to the directions on the bottle to
realize a speedy and complete cure.
The explanation of this is that la
grippe is epidemic catarrh. Pe-ru-na
will cure catarrh wherever located.
1t will cure catarrh of every variety
and stage. Therefore it will cure la
grippe, which is simply the epidemic
variety of acute catarrh. During
such a winter as this no one should
be without a copy of DIR. Hartman s
latest book which treats fully of la
grippe, acute catarrh, chronic catarrh.
