Many a woman, sick and
weary of life, dragged down by
weakening drains. painful ir-
regularities, depression, and the
hundred and one ailments
which affect women only, has
found in Pe-ru-na a bright star
of hope, which has changed
her misery to joy, her suffer-
ing to health.
No woman need suffer from
the arrangements peculiar to
her sex, if she will give PERU
ma a fair trial.
The majority of weaknesses
which make woman's life a
burden, spring from a simple
cause. The mucous membrane
which lines the pelvic organs
becomes weakened and in
famed owing to strain, cold,
overwork, etc. This causes
catarrhal congestion, infam-
nation, painful irregularities.
depression of spirits, irritabil-
ity, weakness and suffering. 1t
shows in the haggard lines of
the face, the dull eyes, the sallow
complexion and angular form.
For the prompt cure of such all
ments try Pe-ru-na. 1t drives away
"thc blues, :" clears tho complexion,
brightens the eyes, changes thin
ness to plumpness, and cures pains,
diately strikes at the root of such
troubles and removes the cause.

Tho people in London have more
success with wooden pavements than
we do over here. Consequently, two
streets, North Exeter road and
Hampden street, which were lately
torn up, + being repaved with
wooden pavements, wood having
gained the preference over granite and
asphalt.
This selection by the London City
Engineer Of wood over the more COM
mon paving materials in use in other
large cities has caused some surprise
over here, as our own experiments
with wood as g paving material have
BY no means given satisfaction. The
chief objection to it is its liability to
speedy decay. "A number of streets
wer paved with wood in this city,
chiefly in the shopping district, with
in the last two or three years, but the
majority of them had to be torn up
again and replaced with q more dur
able paving material.
The report Of the City Engineer Of
London gives some interesting facts
about traffic over various pavements.
According to his report, q horse
travelling on q granite pavement may
be expected to fall once for every 1872
miles travelled, on asphaltsonce in 191
miles, and on wood once in 446 miles.
The injury sustained by the animal is
also far less serious from a fall upon
wood than upon asphalt or upon gran

told Of her satisfaction in settling down
