lent and universal maladies known to
medical science. Nearly everybody
has catarrh in some degree or phase.
In the second place. it should be
noted that Peruna is the only scientific,
internal catarrh remedy yet devised.
This explains the almost universal
use of Peruna. Everybody uses Peruna,
high and low, rich and poor. great and
small. Peruna has fought it's way out
from among The host of caiarrh reme-
dies, and stands unique and alone to-
day as the catarrh remedy par excel
lence. BY its we'll earned merits it
has attracted the attention Of the great
est. and the busiest. and the wisest
people. 1t is equally applicable to all
ages, to both sexes, and to every eli
mate.
Nothing in he history of medicine
has ever equaled the growth OF this
remarkable remedy. Catarrh has be-
come national disease. Peruna has
become q national remedy. DR.. Hart
man, the inventor of PeruDa, has be-
come the best known physician in the
United States.
All this is explained by the fact that
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ OF
the human body. Catarrh is not
legal disease but systemic disease.
Pefuna is not local remedy, but a
systemic remedy. Peruna cures catarrh

NEW THING IN HYPNoTlsM.
Counter.sugge.tlon Offered a, . Pre-

Counter-suggestion Offered as n Pre-
ventive OF Certain Crimes.
To check the spread of crime through
hypnotic suggestion a means has been
discovered by Jules Liegeols, French
psychologist of the well-known Nancy
school," who declares that In counter
suggestion" the most perfect protection
is found. Liegeols has carried on ex-
periments for many years in company
with other scientists at the clinic,
where are treated all forms of nervous
disease He discovered In the course
OF his investigations that even the best
sort of hypnotic subject could be pre-
vented from taking criminal sugges-
lions by forbldding 1t while the person
was In hypnotic state. In spite of
every effort. persons ordinarily hypno-
tiled wis.,. the greatest ease could not
be hypnotized at all while under the
first influence, and nothing could be
done with them until they had been
released from the first hypnotic state
by the same person who put them into
IL.
This discovery is Of great Importance.
Many crimes and offenses have been
traced to hypnotic influences. 1t has
been known for years that weak and
nervous persons who are easily affected
by the magnetic power Of others Will
do whatever they have been told to do
while In hypnotic sleep, even though
IL was to commit crime. Liegeois re
fers to several cases of which he knew
personally. One subject. woman was
compelled to poison her husband and
then commit suicide. Four other per-
sons killed themselves and a woman
was driven into an unhappy marriage
by the hypnotic command Of wicked
persons. Liegeols says that all persons
should know exactly to what extent
they are subject to hypnotsm, and
that II they are easily Influenced by
this dangerous power they should with
out hesitation be put In safety by n
counter-suggestion so that nobody can
hynotlze them or compel them to obey
any hynotlc suggestions. This treat
ment should be gene through with mt
least once or twice n year In order
that the effect may not wear off.
or course there is danger here that
the nervous system Of the person living
In this state of hypnotism might be
seriously affected by the restraint I'M
der which they would be held. The
magnetic nerve force of hypnotism is
too tremendous to be lightly used,
even TO prevent the evil power of the
Will over weak persons.
Diseases OF the will, greatly weaken
ing the power Of resistance In the af-
hlcted, make them easy victims Of all
sorts of scoundrels, and If these suffer
ers can be strengthened. as Llegeois
says is possible, by hypnotic sugges-
ton, a discovery of incalculable .bene-
fit has been made. Crime, disease,
suffering and death are so largely the
result Of defective nerve force and will
power that any light on the treatment
of nerve weakness Is great blessing.
Prevention through hypnotic sugges-
ton might lead to actual frightening
of life and renewal of youth.
