u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
tion is Generally Taken.
Hence Pspsin, Pancreatin and,a Host
Of Other Digestive Demedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

Ex-U. 8. Senator NJ. u. Butler from
South Carolina, was senator from that
state for two terms. In a recent letter
to The Peruna Medicine Co., from
Washington, d. c., says:
''l can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. l have
been using your medicine for short
period and feel very much relieved.
1t is indeed wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. IN. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does
not produce artificial digestion. 1t
cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to
perform digestion in a natural way.
This is vastly better and safer than re-
sorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. IT catarrh is To-
Gated in the head. Peruna cures it. If
catarrh has fastened itself in the throat
or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it..
When catarrh becomes settled in the
stomach, Peruna cures it, as we'll in
this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh REM
edy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because
it is generally dependent upon catarrh.

HOLLAND cHARITAeLe WORK.
Church and Private institutions Ex-
Gel in the Aid Granted.

Church and Private institutions Ex.
Gel In the Aid Granted.
A recent report Of the minister Of tie
interior of the Netherlands Is Of par
ticular interest, giving complete sta
hstics of the amount expended in char
table work in Holland, says the Revus
Scientifque. This matter is regulated
In Holland by the law Of June %, 1854.
which recognizes four sorts Of charit-
able institutions those which are ad'
ministered by the state, the provinces
or the communes; those which belong
to church and are for the purpose OF
assisting the poor Of the parish; the
institutions founded by lay bodies or
private individuals, and mixed inst1tu-
tons which are directed by the public
authorities, together with the church
or private individuals. In all Of these
cases there is q distinction made be-
tween assistance given to those who
ask it Of their own will and those who
are ashamed to ask and are sought out.
In an average year the assistance at
the homes Of the INDECENT amounts to
d k1LI1S LAdu 41tOOOsOOS AAoAA~ot
of which 9.OOO, 900 is in money and the
rest in provisions, the whole being
distributed among about $4,000 poor.
In this total of expenditures the part
played by public funds Is 100000
francs, the rest being almost entirely
furnished by the churches, the private
institutions distributing hardly 100000
francs. The churches distribute more
money than the public institutions.
The poor who do not apply for as
sistance are almost exclusively cared
for either by the churches or private
institutions, as the public officials do
not possess sufficient initiative to seek
out the sufferers. The amount distrib-
uted to these ashamed" poor repre-
sSnts an expenditure of some 1,3OO, 900
francs, which is divided almost equally
between the private and lay nst1tu-
tions and the churches.
The distribution Of provisions and
fuel reaches the modest total Of 27O,OOO
francs distributed among $1,000 poor.
The source of most of this assistance
is the private institutions, the public
granting but little more than $4,000
francs to 500 poor. The explanation of
the relatively modest part played by
the government lies in the specification
in the law mentioned above that pub
lie assistance shall be granted only
when other agencies are inadequate.
The charitable institutions Of Holland
are public, 3,4OO supported by the
number about 5000, of which 1900
church and 45O are private.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee-drinking people are very
| seldom given to drunkenness. In Brazil
for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively and all the inhabitants
drink it many times day, tntoxica-
tion is rarely seen. The effect is not
only noticeable among the natives, but
the foreigner who settles there, though
strong drink, gradually loses his hk-
ing for alcohol as he acquires the
coffee-drinking habit Of the Brazilian.
Germany has a pay wedding, at
which the bride receives her guests
with a basin before her in which each
person entering deposits a jewel, sill
yer spoon or a piece Of money. In
some parts Of Germany the rule is that
the expenses Of the marriage feast
shall be met by each guest paying for
what he eats or drinks. The prices
paid for viands and drinks are high,
and the young couple often make a
handsome profit out of their wedding
realizing q sum quite sufficient to
start them nicely in life.

Gambler Won It, but Carries a Scar m
Remem brartce.
"This scar which you see on the
back of my right hand has history,
and whenever look at it drift back
mentally to the earlier days Of my
life," said the old gambler, land can
not suppress a feeling that somehow
men are often forced into channels
which are not exactly what they would
like While not altogether smothered
with regrets 1 feel that this is true
In my own case. When I recall the
series Of bright things that have hap
pened, the moments and hours and
days spent with congenial spirits, the
spicy bits of narrative which have
marked the progress of many evenings
but why mention all these things
now2
"I am drifting on to the closing hours
and guess after all the old mans
chief delight is in memories Of things
Coming back to the scar on my hand,
i paid rather dearly for it. 1t Is q
pity that I cannot weave around this
experience a bit Of romance which
would heighten the color Of the yarn
and give brilliance to the lines. But
this Is simply a gamblers story and.
while not exactly prosaic, 1t does not
take on any Of that prettier coloring
such as one finds, for instance, in Co
nan Doyle's story about how the major
lost one Of his ears. He gave up his
ear to save a woman. I got the scar
reaching for an ordinary stake In q
game Of cards. and no large stake at
that.
''It was many years ago. That fe-
verish impulse to gamble was just get
ting into my blood. One night I fell
into a game with q crowd Of men, all
Of them but one strangers to me. The
game had not progressed far before
became aware Of the fact that>1 was
playing against two card sharks. Luck
was my way on the last round and
my hand called for the stake But one
Of the sharpers was bent on getting
my last penny, and he threw down a
better hand than mine and one which
/ knew he had faxed. A quarrel be-
gan and I reached out for the stake,
covering the money with my right
hand. As did 80 one Of the shApers
whipped out a long-bladed knife and
stabbed at my hand. The blade pass
ed through my hand and into the table.
Hand, money and all were pinned to
the table, and until my friends came
to my rescue was in a helpless con-
dition. Ny friend pulled the knife out
and released me. I got the stake and
the scar which you see on the back of
my hand is only a part Of the price,
and a small part at that, which made
for It The excitement and novelty of
the experience intensified the gambling
impulse which had fevered the blood
and tissue Of my nature, and since that
time I have been a helpless and hope
less gambler, enjoying the usual fo1-
tunes Of the man who spends his life
