No man in the capital city Of the State
of Ohio Is better known than the Rev.
James Poindexter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streeta
of the city where he has labored for SO
many years. What history of benev.
Olence and se1f-sacrifice might be writ
ten by simply giving the details of the
everyday life of this faithful pastor and
eloquent preacher.
But old age comes to tho best Of menl
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious raw
ages when 1t became necessary to find a
remedy, if possible, that his days of use-
fulness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
| digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor Of his whole system, was needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pc
runa. In arecent letter to DR.. Hartman,
he states:
sMy attention was called some time
ago to your medicine for rheumatic
troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable
