Mrs. G.. w. Heard, Of Howth, Texas,
writes to DR.. Hartman in regard to her
baby girl, Ruth:
my little girl was two years old
in January. She had some deranges
ment of the bowels. She was a
mere skeleton and we did not think
she would ever get we'll. She had
been sick three or four months, and
after giving her less than bottle
of Peruna she was sound and well.
l found the Peruna splendid for
wind collie, with which she was
troubled. when she began to i'm.
prove in strength and appearance.
Now she has a good appetite and is
a picture of health.
Mrs. Heard also writes in regard to her
son, Carl:
my sons ears had been affected
since he was a babe only a few
months old. He seemed to have
risings in his head. He won id be
very fretful for several days, then
his ears would run profusely what
appeared to be corruption. The last
year 1 thought he had almost lost
his hearing and had a local physi.
clan treating him for about six
weeks. He pronounced him well
and for a few weeks he was not
troubled, but since that time the dis
charge from his ears was almost
constant and very offensive. Final.

FISHING Dogs.

h"hth Dos
We know that cats are fond of fish.
and travellers tell MS that the arctic
dogs like them well enough to 10 their
own catching. Their owners never
feed Eskimo dogs in the summer time.
and one of the most interesting sights
of that country is to watch them get
their W breakfast, says a traveler In
the American Boy. They will not go
into the icy cold water till they are
very hungry, but in the morning they
will wade out in the water and stand
as still as a stone until n fish comes
sailing by. They then jump for him,
diving just as "a seal would, frequently
sinking under the water ten or fifteen
feet. These dogs are used for drawing
sledges. but they are tremendous hunt
ers. When they see a deer or other
game, no matter how many sledges are
behind them, of they go like mad.
Their owners know they are likely to
get beyond control at this time, and
each dog is fastened in the harness In
such a way that one little pull OF a
particular string by the driver will set
him loose. so when the dogs catch
sight Of game and start OF wildly the
driver just pulls the string and OFT
they go.
