 Most people think the success of Pe- runa depends upon the use of advertise ments. Undoubtedly the advertisements help some. But far the greatest number of people who hear of Peruna have their attention called to 1t by friend.
 Some one gets cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna. After he Is certain of his cure. he is sure to recommend 1t to his friends Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue.
 All the advertisements in the world could not make Peruna as popular as it is. Peruna cures. That is the req son people like 1t. Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends it. Pc runa cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail, which explains why

I law. The refuge in the city is a speaking type of the refuge in the Savior.
 The sinner must fly to the Savior. The averaging wrath of God is upon his track. Out of Christ he is in extremest peril He dies daily.
 He will believe there is safety in Jesus before Ee starts. He flies by faith. He sees the wrath of God hanging over his head.
 He exclaims: "Other refuge have none." No other name; no other foun- dation.
 The refuge is at hand. No need to as- cend to bring Christ down, or to descend to bring him up. The Word is nigh. The way is plain and unobstructed The run ner may read the directions.
 Our Refuge. unlike Moses's city, is for the guilty, not the innocent. The elders of the refuge city drove the wanton mur- derers out. Jesus. on the contrary, calls not the righteous, but sinners.
 There was a foregleam of the universal ity of the atonement in the fact that the city of refuge was for the Gentle as we'll as the Jew. Whoever would, might avail himself of it. Thus early and explicitly Jehovah was saying: Am I the God of the Jews only?'
 There was safety for the refugee only so long as he kept closely within the city walls. and there was abundant provision there for all his wants. So he who has fled to the hope set before him in the Gospel must stay in Christ, and in him the soul finds all it's wants supplied.
 Until the death of the high priest. The allusion is evidently to the sacrificial death of the worlds High Priest. As he is alive for evermore, and dieth never. so the believer is perpetually to abide in Christ.

 In a paper on dsfectives ready by pr. Martin W. Barr. chief physician of the Pennsylvania school for feeble-minded children, before the summer school of phi lanthropy recently, a remarkable instance was mentioned by him of degeneracy that has caused comment in London and continental scientific circles It was the case of the multi-milionaire, who Is at present living in far eastern countries, and leading life of such satyrlike ex- cess as to be almost incredible. Attempts to learn the identify of this degenerate American have been fruitless, and Dr. Barr has taken the greatest pains to con ceal 1t from the public for the wisest pos sb!e reasons.
 According to pr. Barr, this man is a neurotic It Is estimated that his fortune is in the neghborhood of $l0,00O0OO, but no attempt has been made to have him declared an incompetent; he is left free to run his course, His family are re- fined, socially prominent. Whenever they speak of the sons course. they refer to it cs his nervousness" They will not admit that he has a deranged intellect. though he has left friends and position here to take up a life among the han ins" the gravediggers and social outcasts of the far east
 He was a physician. rich, handsome, cultured, of esthetic tastes" said Dr. Barr in his paper, "a graduate of one of the most prominent medical colleges in America and a man who had made pronounced hit as a specialist.
 Ills fortune enabled him to secure every medical appliance known to science, and for some years ne enjoyed phenomenal success. Wine and women proved his bane. He sank lower and lower.
