New Method of Infiicting Death PEN
alrV.

Herbert Spencer, the distinguished
philosopher. scientist and student of
sociological" problems. has advanced
a new theory for the killing of
criminals, and on the face of it his
plan looks plausible. Spencer would
substitute apopleXy, artificially pro-
duced, for all other agencies of
death.
His plan would be to place the
condemned man upon a rotary table,
with the victims head at the center
and the feet at the periphery, then
set the table in rapid rotation.
Spencer describes what would hap

Facts and Comments"
He says: The effects of rotation
would be first faintness. and then
insensibility-an insensibility soon

"I was deaf for five years and could

I was in misery. Through one of DR..

IfeeT ten years younger.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally /;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.

A Glorious Fourth.

On the Fourth of July every true
patriot will celebrate the signing of
the Declaration of independence by
the COlonists, and although the
struggle which followed was both
costly and disastrous, yet it resulted
in their ultimate freedom from the
yoke of English bondage. Another
very important day in the life of any
one, especially those suffering from n
weak or disordered stomach, will be
the one on which they decide to give
up old methods of trying to obtain
relief and commence the use of that
famous twentieth century family
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. 1t will cure anyone suffering
from dyspepsia, indigestion, belch-
ing, constipation, biliousness or in
somnia. Try it today and be con-
vinced. Our private stamp is over
