1t Has Been Through the Weather
of Twenty-tw Centuries

The very Oldest tree, which has
withstood the onslaught of centuries,
is certainly the Bo-Gha, or sacred Bo.
1t is n of the greatest natural Curl
Osities of Ceylon. 1t stands in An
uradhapura, the ancient capital of the
kings of the island. 1t is a fig tree,
grown from a sprig cut from the
original tree under which Gautama
rested on the day he became a Buddha.
1t was planted in 288 before the Chris
tian era, in the eighteenth year of the
reign of Devenipiatissa, and is now
2.189 years old. The extraordinary
tree seems to bear out the prophecy
made by the king who planted it: 1t
will blossom to the end of centuries.
NJ. Leclercq, the oriental scholar, says
that the sacred Bo was honored under
all the reigning dynasties and spared
by every invader. For % centuries,
millions of pilgrims have come and
knelt down at the base of the revered
tree. To this day it's leaves are pious-
ly gathered by the pilgrims and kept
and revered by them as sanity relics.
The renown of this tree dates from far
back. AS late as the fifth century the

Chinese traveller, Fa HAN, came to
visit it. The 30 of Anuradhapura is
certainly the Oldest historical tree now
in existence. All the other Bos which
grace Ceylon temples were grown from
1t. Thousands of years of age are also
credited to the Dracena at Orotava, to
the chestnut tree on the Athua, the
Virgins tree in Egypt, the cedars of
the Libanus, the Californian yelling
tomas, the eucalyptus of Tasmania,
the Baobabs of the Senegal, and
others; but these estimations are based
on mere probabilities, while the age
of the Bo is established by the most
~authentical documents hat any man
can require. Today the Bo of Anurad-
hapura is no more than a ruin in the
midst of the innumerable ruins of
monuments that are spread all over
the, ground around it. It's branches
are supported by thick pillars, the
trunk propped by masonry, in the
shape of a pyramid, which has grown
in height from century to century.
Affairs stand all around, on which the
pilgrims lay their offerings. The tree
is inclosed by walls.

ENDURING


One of the latest medical theories is
that certain diseases ward off death.
Rheumatic people, for instance, are
said rarely to die young. Why, the
medical men are unable to say, but 1t
Is probable that the blood acquires
some property which is fatal to the
germs of other diseases. A doctor Of
experience has noticed the fact that III
a family of five or six brothers and sis
ters, one of whom is rheumatic, that
3ne will outlive the others, as a rule.
If govt can be kept away from the
heart and confined to the big toe the
patient is likely to live to be so or
100 years old. 1t is said that this is
due to the fact that the disease puri-
des the blood. If one has an attack
of smallpox and lives through it, he
stands an excellent chance of attain
ing a ripe old age. In a census of aged
people taken many years ago 1t was
found that a large percentage of them
were .pock-marked. This led an emin-
emit physician to make a calculation
which proved that there were twice as
many pOck-marked people over 80
years old as there would have been
had not the smallpox exercised a pre-
sentative influence. He accounted for
this curious fact by concluding that the
smallpox microbe frightens away all
other microbes, just as rats brighten
away mice from a house. Deafness is
said to have the property of adding to
The victims age. Now and then a deaf
ma is run over in a city street, but
when deaf people prudently pitch their
tents in the country their chances of

true explanation of this is declared to
be the fact that deafness saves people
a lot of worry over small matters and

life, but in some cases it has the OPP
posite effect. A large number of the
old people one meets cough all the year
round with chronic bronchitis. One
would think to listen to them that they
must cough themselves to death soon,
but that is not so. The coughing helps
the heart to circulate the blood, and,
in fact, gives exercise to many of the
organs. Only for this daily exercise
many old peoples mechanism would
get fatally clogged. Besides, a man
with bronchitis will not sit in a
draught, he will avoid getting wet and
will not stay out half the night losing
his sleep and painting the town with
the boys" Thus he more than COM
pensates for the injury done to him
by his ailment. Perhaps the most sur
prising assertion is that disease in
parents often confers long life on chill
dren. The contrary is believed, popu-
larly, and no doubt there is some
ground for the belief. Some time ago
the British Medical Association inves-
tigated the subject of old age. TAX
ing $40 people aged from 80 to 80 years,
they inquired into their family history.
Here is the result: There was cancer
in A families; consumption in IS fam
lilies; govt in 80 families; rheumatism
in SO families; insanity in 10 families;
apoplexy and paralysis in AZ families.
Thus there was a history of deadly
diseases in the families of 253 of the
old people. In AZ more families there
was likewise some grave disease. And
only 40 families were free, or said to
be free, from those maladies which
usually are supposed to be hereditary.

Grafton. Perhaps he will subject the pa
tient to a long series OF experiments
with nervines and tonics. The reason
he does not often make a cure is be-
cause he does not recognize the trouble.
In a large majority Of the cases ca
tarrh of the female organs is the cause.
Peruna relieves these cases promptly
because it cures the catarrh. Peruna is
not a palliative or a sedative or a ner-
vine or a stimulant. 1t Is a specific
for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever
it may Turk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last. AS she says, the doc
tors did not seem to understand what
the trouble was and the medicine he
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at once
and she is now recommending this
wonderful remedy to all the other girls
in the United States.
Thousands of the girls who look at
her beautiful face and read her sincere
testimonial, will be led to try Peruna
in their times of trouble and critical
periods. Peruna will not fail them.
Every one of them will be glad and it
is to be hoped that their enthusiasm
will lead them to do as this girl did
proclaim the fact to the world SO that
others may read it and do likewise.
