usual duties the question of the right
medicine becomes most important.
sFor catarrhal conditions usually
brought on by colds, know by actual

entire materia medica which will per-
form a cure so thoroughly as Peruna.
I consider it a very superior winter
medicine. efficacious in all the differ

and Indictment weather."

medicines without any benefit until

Failure spurs us to success,
Failures come but come to bless,
Fitting us for Righteousness,

Do the woes of life surround you--face them
Do temptations hover round you-chase them

He will help you, though you fall,
Gladly hears you when you call,
From His Heaven above.
