4 PROFESSIONAL OPINION.
T4x Advice of "A Lawyer to His Bar
Der, Who Was Cutting In on
His Busines

A former judge, now practicing law,
became interested when told by mis- ia
vorite barber that the latter wanted to
study, with a view to admission to the
bar, relates the Philadelphia Times. The
lawyer encouraged him in every way pos
sible, lending him books and giving MIN
an informal lesson while being shaved
each morning. Soon the barber began put
ting hypothetical cases to his patron, who
gravely, soundly and pains-takingly gave
information as to correct procedure. After
a time the ex-judge learned that the bar
ber's cases were ~genuine-that, indeed, the
fellow was acting as a cut-rate attorney
for his friends, who invariably protited by
following his advice. The following morn
ing the barber opened up by putting what
he described as an imaginary bit of litiga-
ton to the lather-covered lawyer, and then
asked:
"Now, judge, what do you adviser"
'Let-me-see,' replied the lawyer, mus
ingly. Then: why, l advise that you
come see me at the office, bring me a Ger
titled check for 800 as a fee, and III tell
you how the case should be handled"

DR.. Hartman received the fol-
lowing lie


"My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past
25 years.
Her case had baffied the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One of her worst troubles vas chronic
constipation of several years stand
ing.
She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
womap-change of life. In June, 1895,
/ wrote to you about her case. You
advised a course of Peruna and Mana
lin, which we at once commenced, and
have to say it completely cured her.
She firmly believes that she would
have been dead only for these wonder
full remedies.
about the same time / wrote you
about my case of catarrh, which
had been of 25 years standing. At
times / was almost past going. com
menced to use Peruna according to
your instructions, and continued its use
for about a year, and it has completely
cured me.
s'Yourremedies do all that You claim
for them, and even more. Cafarrh
cannot exist where Peruna is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies"
John o. Atkinson.
The Tupelo journal., 1903-01-02

In a letter dated January 1, 1900,
Mr.. Atkinson says, after five years
experience with Peruna:
"IWW ever continue to speak q good
word for PerunA. In my rounds as a
travelling man 1 am a walking adVer-
fisement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. lam still cured of cafarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
BOx2z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be
come 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 treatedlocally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The Hartman S~anitarium, Columbus, ..

An Irish Refrigerator,

An Irish woman was looking at refrigera-
tors in a housefurnishing store some weeks
ago. After examining into the merits and
qualities OF a number of them, she pur-
chased the one that the salesman assured
her would keep food the best. Some days
afterward the woman called and requested
them to take that refrigerator back, as it
kitchen safe Of the cellar. The salesman
mildly suggested that possibly she had not
put enough ice in it to keep the things cold.
Enough ice in it? Why, you are crazy,
mon. | don't put any ice in it. Anything
will keep cold if you put ice in it. l bought
the refrigerator SO that | wouldn't need the
ice. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Compound
Cures
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils Of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time The dyspeptic's train OF evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings OF
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss OF
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action OF the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation Of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; il makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
ut gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits Of Paine's Celery Compound. can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was sui
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that | could hardly walk
without help. | used two bottles of Paine's
celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for. medi-
cine since. was completely cured"
