MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
1Vl Superintendent of the w. C. T. U.
Headquarters, at Galesburg, ILL.,,
was for ten years one of the leading
women there. Her husband, when liv-
ing, was first President of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, Ill.,, Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna;
Having lived a very active life as
wife and working partner of busy
minister, my health failed me few
years ago. lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually seemed
to lose health and spirit. Ny daughter
IS a confirmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
aOne of my neighbOrS advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was immedi-
afely secured and a great change took
place in my daughters as well as In
my own health. Our aPpefiteS inn
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and reSffuI sleep
soon improved us, SO that we seemed
like new women.
al would not be without Pernna for
ten times its cost. "-MrS. Anna B.
EIeharty.
What. used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases Of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that a woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
runa for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.

purpose. The proper form OF the mold
board was the subject of much thought
among the advanced farmers of those
and later times. President Jefferson
wrote on the subject. and said it should
be lifting and upsettlng wedge, with
an easy connecting curve. This theory
has been acted on in all the plows that
have been made since.
In the early settlement of this coun-
try the wooden plow was used, and
even to a late date plows were made

STORY OF THE PLOW. s
The Origin Of the Familiar Farm
Implement is "a Mystery.
5ocoo OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Who used the first plow cannot be
known. At all events, there was but
little difference in the shape of the
plow and the hoe in early times, save
in size. Cut off the handle from the
plow and there was the hoe.
After a time some mechanical genius
saw that the plow would operate more
easily if the point that runs in the
ground were fiattened and the beam
were more nearly parallel with the
bottom of the share, and so he becane
more particular about the shape of
the forked stick than his ancestors
had been. BY degrees the cutting sur
face was fattened, and it took such
various forms as the makers thought
best adapted TO their needs, or as the
forked stick would allow cutting. Soon
two sticks were fastened together with
