Most Of the Illnesses That Come
TO the Human Family Are the
Direct Result Of Colds.

Mrs. Fred Bartz, 7aO1-3 Ivory avenue,
St Louis. Mo, writes:
LAS long as we have had Peruna IN
the house we have not needed a doctor.
and there are nine of us in the family.
"Peruna has rendered US greater ser

Peruna is becoming better and better

Holiday Dinners and Catarrhal
Indigestion.
Christmas and New Years brings their
Joys long anticipated and heartily en-
joyed. But the pleasures of holidays IS
not entirely unalloyed. The big dinners
the nuts and candies. the thousand and
one deicacies and rich Viands that tempt
the palate and seduce the appetite, are
too well known to need mention.
Ali this leads to deranged stomachs.
Catarrh OF the stomach is the immediate
result Gastric catarrh, the doctors call
it. One or two doses of Peruna at the
time prevent a long siege with catarrh

Holiday oveT-eating is not entirely con-
fined to the children, either. The old folks
sometimes do SO. too. Whole families
often suffer together. CataXrh of the sto-

Right here Peruna, the friend Of the
family, comes to the rescue. No family
is exactly safe without Peruna. Nothing
will take the place of Peruna. Insist upon
having 1t and no other.

suicide on the Inrr.n,..

The mania for self-destruction is on
the increase.
Life certainly presents, in most coun-
tries, many more agreeable features
than 1t did generation ago. Yet the
desire to abandon It increases yearly.
The total number Of suicides Is SWELL
ing enormously. Is It increase Of the
greater prevalence Of nervous diseases?
An English alienist, Mr.. Styles, has
been at some pains to investigate this
subject, with wholly dlscouraging re-
suits. The story OF his discoveries
may best be expressed In figures.
Some forty years ago the average
number Of suicides was, in Sweden,
one to every $1,000 inhabitants: in
Russia, one to every $1,000 Inhabitants;
in the United States, one to every H.
600 Inhabitants, and In the great cities.
like London and St Petersburg, one
TO every 21,OO0 inhabitants. II Is plain
that we made q dismal showing even
then.
In France. chosen for Illustration be-
cause It offers the most startling reve-
latiOns, Mr.. Styles found for every
100000 Inhabitants, during the years
1S41 to 1S45, 8 suicides; from 1916 to
1850 10 suicides; from 1861 to 1870. II

on my place, and l have another Of
my boys with Cousin George for
awhile. But that is all right, for he's
Georges boy"
II the fact that Miss Manigault
might be or might have been married
had struck a cold chill to CarsOn's
heart, what was his horror to hear her
confess herself the mother OF i've boys
and cut on all pslliating speculations
by saying she had always been Miss
Manigault. Why, It was monstrous,
this terrible, this awful, horrible
thing. She, so dainty, so sweet, stin
girl. despite her years, q soft pink
still in her cheeks, her hne skin
marked By q few gracious wrinkles,
the record Of smiles and sweet SYM
PATTY, none Of her virgin slenderness
gone over into matronly plumpness,
none Of It passed into old maid slim
ness. To see this woman, lovely en-
bodiment Of delicate purity in her out
ward seeming, and then to hear braz-
en- declaration Of shame! Tears gath
cred in Carson's eyes and only by a
supreme effort did he keep them from
bursting forth in a flood. He had
never loved before, he had never al
lowed himself to love before. He knew
he should never love again, but drag
out the rest OF a barren existence,
with his dreams tenanted by the ideal
being which he had once imagined
Miss Manigault to be. He would have
fed at once, but though his eonnee-
ton with Miss Manigault as a man
was over, there remained his duty as q
clergyman and he rallied to Il In
his capacity as a spiritual pastor and
master he addressed her. In a voice
whose hardness astonished him, he
said:
Did your Cousin George ever ask
you to marry him?"
Why how frank you Northern peo-
pie are. No. He's twenty years older
than I am"
Did the father Of Ike ever ask you
to marry him?"
'Ikei" cried Miss Manigault, spring
ing to her feet DO you think
would marry a Niger, degrade myself
oh. how could you!"
Far better, madame" said Carson.
rising to his feet, ito have married
this negro and in honorable wedloek
borne him your son Ike than TO have
brought Ike and the other four into
the world as you did"
Miss Msnigault shrieked, but It was
as much a shrek Of laughter as OF
rage or injury. There were tears, but
they. too. might have been tears OF
laughter. The man before her was
suffering as she had never seen q man
suffer before. and It was for love Of
her Whatever she might have said
or done In anger. whatever she might
