Few stop to realize I'm how
many ways catarrh can affect
the body. Every organ, every
duct, every passage, every
opening of the human body Is
liable to catarrh. Peruna is
an internal, systemic catarrh

ON all OF the mucous MEM

Consequently 1t is equally effec-

We know that active brain work throws

product is found on the skin after exces-
sive brain work, therefore brain workers.
In order to keep WELL must have proper
food containing phosphate Of potash to
quickly and surely rebuild the used-up

has been proven In thousands of cases
among users of Postum Cereal Food Cof-
fee and Grape-Nuts.
Both contain phosphate of potash In
minute particles, Just as 1t is furnished
by nature in the grains.
This product makes from albumen the
gray matter that builds the brain and
fills the nerve centers
In no way can this gray matter be
made except by the action OF phosphate
of potash upon albumen, and this min
eral should be introduced to the BODY

tenn is more or less fastidious about TAX
ing up the needed elements, and. as
might be suspected, it will favor the prod
ucts of Mother Nature rather than the
products of the drug shop, however val
liable they may be for certain uses.
Athletes, lawyers, journalists, doctors,
ministers, business men and others, who
earn their living by the use of the brain
are using both Postum Food Coffee and
grape Nuts Food Both products are
manufactured for reason. They were
originated by an expert and the regen-
Srative value of both the Postum Coffee

feruna Cures Cafarrh Wherever Located,
Peruna Not a Cure All.

Peruna is not "cure ALL: it cures
just one disease-catarrh. But since
catarrh is able to fasten itself within
the different organs of the body, so it is
that Peruna cures affections Of these
organs. But we insist that Peruna cures
one disease only. We claim that Peruna
is the only internal, scientific remedy for
catarrh yet devised. We claim that
catarrh is a systemic disease; that is
to say, 1t invades the whole system We
claim that Peruna is G systemic remedy;
that is to say, it eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh is not a local dis
ease; Peruna is not a local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system, only
systemic remedy can reach 1t. This
is, in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease-catarrh-ou remedy, Peruna.
Booker T. Washington, President of
Tuskegee College, Tuskegee, Ala, says:
Il have used one bottle of Peruna and
1 can truthfully say that / have never
taken any medicine that has improved
me as much as Peruna."

The commission acted under the au-

Laws of 1897, which provides that when
ever any person believes that he or she
is an inebriate, and liable to become a
public charge, upon application to the
probate judge they shall be committed
to an institute for the cure of alcoholism,
or the drug habit, at the county expense,
the county taking in return the notes Of
the patients payable at five years.
A previous law of a similar nature had
been declared unconstitutional and
petition was filed by one Harry A Schott,

the new law TO the test. 1t is provided
that the institute people shall contract
with the county commissioners in regard
to the charge for the treatment, which
is confined to one per annum for every
