The object of Ceramics in writing

clared, to render abhorred of men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticism
caused by these romances was so great
i'll Spain during the sixteenth century
that the burning of all extant copies
was earnestly requested by the cortes

stroy passion that had taken such
deep root among all classes, to break
up the only reading which at that time
was fashionable and popular, was a
bold undertaking, yet one in which
Cervantes succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written
after the appearance of "Don Quixote, -
and from that time those in existence
have been steadily disappearing, until
now they are among the rarest of lit

Cervantes threw so carelessly from his
pen, and which he only regarded as
an effort to break up the absurd fan

fiction and one of the most remarkable
monuments to genius.

The nurse is often brought to closer OBJ
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upon the re-
ports Of the nurse. Pe-ru-na is in high favor
with the nurses. It is specific for catarrhal
diseases of all varieties. 1t cures catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh
of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the kidneys, and that form of catarrh so
common among women, known to the pro-
fession as pelvic catarrh, ordinarily called
female complaint. Pe-ru-na cures these
troubles promptly and permanently.
