| IT TONIC is e medicine that gives tone
II to some part OF IA system. There
are different kinds Of tonics, but
the tonic most needed n this country,
where catarrh IS sc prevalent, is 3
tonic that operates on The mucous mem
branes.
Peruna is q tonic to the mucous MEM
branes Of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Perura is q specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is 4
tonic that strikes ct the root Of all c.
tarrhal affections. T. gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta,
Ca, says:
"In January last I began the use of
your Peruna and Manalin for what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
time I could scarcely walk to my place
of business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
Had severe pains in my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle of
Peruna 1 began to improve and today 7

and there was no cure. I almost thought

so offensive. 1 could rot eat anything

"Finally I got one Of your books, and

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing IS more certain than that the
use Of sc-cailed tones. stimulants and
medicines. which depend upon alcohol for
their effect. is injurious to health in the
long run
What goes up must come down and the
elevation of spirits, The temporary ex-
filtration resulting from dose of rnsdi-
cine containing alcohol. VIII certainly be
followed in a few hours by q correspond
ing depression TO relieve which another
dose must be taken
III other words. many liQuid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from the alcohol they contain
Alcohol. and medicines containing ii.
are temporary stimuiauts and not in
any sense a true tonic. In fact il IS
doubtful If any medicine or drug is a real
tonic.
y true tonic is something which viii re-
new. replenish. build Up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues Of
the body. something that VIII enrich the

portions of red and white corpuscles,
which prevent or destroy disease germs
This is what 4 real tonic should 10 and
no drug or alcoholic stimuiant VIII DO it.
The only true tonic in nature is whole
some food. thoroughly digested. Every
particle Of nervous energy. every minute
muscle, fibre and drop of blood is created
daily from the food we digest
The mere eating Of food has little 10 do
with the repair OF waste tissue but the
perfect digestion of food eaten has
everything 10 do with it.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion is because from wrong habits
of living the stomach has gradually lost
the power to secrete the gastric juice,
peptones and acids in sufficient quantity.
To cure indigestion and stomach
troubles it is necessary 10 take after
meals some harmless preparation which
VIII supply the natural peptone and
diastase which every weak stomach lacks.
ana probably the best preparation Of this
character IS Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found in every drug store
and which contain in pleasant palatable
form the wholesome peptone and diastase
which nature requires for prompt diges-
ton.
One or two Of these excellent tablets
taken after meals viii prevent souring,
fermentation and acidlty and insure COM
blete digestion and assimilation.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for little children as for adults,
as they contain nothing harmful or
stimulating but only the natural diges-
tives.
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets viii
digest 1850 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are in every
sense a genuine tonic because they bring
about in the only natural way a res
torative of nerve power. building up of
lost tissue and appetite. in the only way
it can be done by the digestion and as
similation OF wholesome food.

FOOD FACTS.
How to Properly Feed the Body.

physicians nowadays realize how nee
essary it is that the food contain the
right elements that the body requires to
rebuild itself, and replace the loss that
occurs each day from activity and
energy.
If one lifts an arm, that means the ex-
penditure Of a small amount of energy
and the burning up. so to sneak. of Ger
tain deposits from the food. This. means
certain loss, and this loss must be made
up each day from food If the food
does not contain the things required

the food
The reason physicians 50 generally ad-

Food is that they know from what il is
made and what Il contains The nedi-

have given the analysis. The famous

a very careful analysis by its own chem
ist. It's remarks are worth repeating.
The preparatory process undoubtedly
converts the food constituents into a

the remarkable s1lu5iiity Of the prepa-
