Mrs. George w. Taylor, of Eaton,

chronic diarrhoea for six years. L
tried everything I could hear of and
had consulted several physicians with
out avail. My husband bought me u
bottle of Pe-ru-na and l began to inn
prove at once. / can do anything 1
ever could, and eat anything without
inconvenience; and when l say IL it
had not been for Pe-ru-na l would
now be in my grave, do not think 1
eXaggerate."
Chronic diarrhoea is nothing else
than Catarrh of the bowels.
May Belle, a New York stage beau
ty. says: "Pe-ru-na not only cures
catarrhal affections, but if rightly used
in time, will protect against them in
fallibly."
The remedy that will cure catarrh in
one location will cure it in all loca-
tions, if it be an internal remedy, OPP
Grating through the system. Pe-ru-na
is exactly such a remedy. 1t is an in
ternal specific for Catarrh.

Dangers Of Filters.

~ IS. u u rlASCX0s ~
Filters for purifying water are Of
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture. but, according to the report of the
Maryland state board of health, it
would appear that such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come first class culture beds for bacteria.
In evidence of this position an example
cited is that Of a man in Baltimore who
sends the whole water supply of his
house through a large filter and subse.
quently puts his drinking water through
one Of the small domestic filters COM
mon in the market.
A test Of this arrangement showed
that on a day when the city taps were
running $40 bacteria to the cubic cen.
timetsr the large filter was delivering
some {. 200 bacteria in the same water.
When the large filter was repacked.
only 8 bacteria per centimeter got
through it, though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came out with II bacteria per cent?
meter.
This aspect of the matter is still fur
ther strengthened by another example
a case where a filter supposed to be thu
best in the market was in use. The
effectiveness of this filter was SO shor'
lived that the precaution was observed
OF boiling the water after it was filtered
