Rules for Long Life.

The figures and statistics of the cen
sus and the life insurance companies
show, according to p. Macarthur, in
Ainslee's Magazine, that if one would
live long one must follow Beecher' IS
advice and be careful in the selection
of your parents, especially long-lived
ones: be born a female; be a genius
with a leaning toward philosophy; be
a Quaker; avoid financial worry; buy
an annuity; make happy marriage
nd live a moderate, temperate life be-
tween the thirtieth and fiftieth degrees
of latitude Even then some would
question whether his life was worth
living on these conditions. And If ev-
erybody bought annuities, who would
provide them?

Hon. Thomas c. Fletcher, the noted

Gentlemen-For years I have been
a1flcted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system,
and no one knows the torture and
misery | have passed through. My
doctor has prescribed various RENE
dies, and have never found any relief
until | was persuaded by a friend to
use DR.. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use Of one bottle I feel like new
man. 1t also cured me of a dropping

tenn up generally. To those who are
suffering with catarrh I take pleasure
IN recommending your great medicine.
Very respectfully.

The statesman is not narrow man.

true statesman looks out on the world

Catarrh in it's various forms is rap
idly becoming national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of it's virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
