Latest Novelty in Bubbles,

Doctors have invented a new form

bago are known to be affections of the

been discovered that BY injecting air
under the skin the ends of the nerves
are heightened, and the pain relieved.
The bubble of air is pressed by the
fingers, and caused to move about until
all parts are relieved. In d"islocations,

THE WALKING HILLS.
A High Chain of Them Is Said to Be
Creeping Slowly Over the
Colorado Desert.

In the eastern portion Of the Colorado
desert, in southern California, is a chain
of hills nearly 100 miles long, which are
known as THE Walking Hills" These
elevations, which are 200 and 300 feet
high, are constantly advancing across
the plain.
The desert is about 100 miles wide at
this point, and 1t is, for the most part,
a level plain devoid of vegetation.
Across the plain continually blows a
strong wind, always in one direction
from the west to the east. Some time
in the dim and distant past, at some
point far to the westward, the sands
which advance before the stiff breeze
of the desert began piling up, and this
great chain of hills had it's beginning.
Then it began its journey across the
deserted plain.
The hills are always advancing. The
wind which is constantly adding to the
heights OF the hills by bringing new
material, also cuts away the sand from
the western side and shoots it over
the hill where 1t falls upon the eastern
slope, so that as fast as n side is eat
en- away the other side is added to, and
the hills are thus slowly advanced to the
eastward.
A little more than Is years ago the
Southern Pacific Railway company built
its road along the eastern rim Of the
desert east of these hills. At that time

"A of physicians prescribe Peruna in
their regular practice.
It has proven its merits s~othoroughly
that even the doctors have overcome
their prejudice against so called patent
medicines and recommend it to their
patients.
sI Advise Women to Use P%e-ru-na."
Says DR.. Gee.
DR.. NJ. C. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter writ
ten from 513 Jones street, San Fran
cisco, Cal, he says:
There is a general objection on the
tof the practicing physician toadvo-
cate patent medicines, but when any m
medicine cures hundreds of people, it
demonstrates its own value and does not
needthe endorsement of the profession.
"Peruna has performed SO many
wonderful cures in San Francisco that
I am convinced that Ii is q valuable
remedy. / have frequently advised its
use for women, as find ii inSures

and builds up the entire system. l also
consider it one of the finest catarrh
remedies l know of. 1 heartily endorse

Mrs. e. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. c., is one
of DR.. Hartman'sg grateful patients. She
consulted him by letter, followed his
directions, and is now able to say the
following:
Before l commenced to take Peruna
Icould not do any hard work without
suffering great pain. Itook Peruna, and
