has been making snug sum about the city

tie of whisky with a towel only. He has
declared himself benefactor In that he has
been able to open. with a towel taken from
the bar stock bottles which other men have
been unable to open with a corkscrew. Usu-
ally some one has been ready to bet with him,
and then the bright man has merely taken
the seal or cap from bottle OF whisky,
placed the towel, folded few times, against
the wall, and then, holding the bottle hor-
zontally, has pounded its bottom against the
towel on the wall, much as carpenter uses
q hammer to drive a nail. After little of
this pounding moderately done. the cork
has been sufficiently forced outward SO that

ENGLISH SOCIAL REPRESSION.

San francisco ArSOuaut.
Nine Sarah Grand. while in New York,
said to- an interviewer: Your American
girls come over and marry the pick of the
few men we have. Naturally, there is a
smoldering resentment among English
girls They see the American girls, with
their gay independence and their unlim-
tied privileges, with everything forgiven
because they are Americans, and the
English girl knows that if she were to
claim the same privileges she would be
completely ostracised. English mothers.
too, regard the American girl with grave
distrust. They see her monopolizing the
attention of the eligible men, making
some of the most brilliant matches, and
all because she, the American girl. has
been brought up on lines which in the
eyes of English dowagers are tabood. The
English girl of the upper classes is re-
pressed until she grows into rather de-
pressed woman"

Women All Over the United

Miss Mary Meehan, 81 Concord street,
Lawrence, Mass, writes:
1T gives me great pleasure to tell you
that to-day l am a new woman. I was
and tried many kinds Of medicine, but
found no relief. Finally 1 tried Peruna.
and after taking one bottle I felt better,
and six bottles cured me entirely. Hence

Peruna.' MISS MARY MEEHAN.
Mrs. E. T. Gaddis. Marion, N. c., writes:
Before I commenced to take Peruna l
could not do any hard work without suf-
fering great pain. I took Peruna and
Manalin, and can say with pleasure that
it has done more for me than any other

Disguised Catarrh.
There are great many people who are
actually invalids from chronic catarrh OF
some internal organ who have not the
slightest suspicion that they are victims
Of this universal disease.
This is especially true in cases of chronic
catarrh of the organs in the lower part
VI Cue dUuOHeu VI pSlVlC OISduo. AASoO
organs are especially liable to catarrh,
which gives rise to weakening discharges,
painful Irregularities, backache, bearing
down pains, smarting and thrObbing, with
host of other symptoms peculiar to weak
persons of both sexes, but occurring much
| more frequently in women, when 1t Is
called female weakness.
| There are a multitude of women, es-
pecially housewives, and all other women
obliged to be on their feet continually,
who are wretched beyond description,
simply because their strength and vitality
is Slapped away by catarrhal discharges.
Peruna is such specific for such cases
that when patients have once used 1t
they can never be induced to quit it until
they are permanently cured. It begins to
relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once.
The backache ceases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite restored,
digestion made perfect, the dull headache
is stopped, and the weakening drains are
gradually cured These results certainly
follow a course of treatment with Peruna.
Miss Louise Mahon, Glen -Bailie street
Toronto, Ont, Canada, Secretary Of the
Kings Daughters and Secretary OF Lady
Maccabees, writes: .'.....
"About a year ago was so run down
that had to take to my bed. A friend
advised me to try Peruna and In two
weeks I was out of bed and In month
was perfectly we'll. I now find that my
health is much more robust than former
ly, so that take Peruna once or twice
month and keep we'll"
