ana Peruna is the only remedy WHICH
the druggist is able to recommend that
will afford the desired relief, and we
a shot This statement is made advised
ly, because several years ago we lin
gered with a devoted friend and bot
tie of Peruna one evening in a country
town which was operated entirely by
preachers who had recommended Pc
runa as the only safe household medi-
cine That occasion will ever remain a
bright yet painful spot in Our mind.
The hilarity exceeded three days and
the headache two weeks; hence we can
talk learnedly of the virtues of Peruna,
as our distinguished correspondent
Evangelical Minister fully appreci-
ates. His letter shows quite clearly that
he knows by experience exactly what is
/ in Peruna and what it is capable of per-
, forming when the cork is pulled and
the fragrant fluid is unleashed. We vio-
late no confidence when we say that
there is no variety of jag desired that
Peruna can not quickly produce 1t is
equal to all. emergencies and satisfies
all customers. 1t is recommended by
ministers, because when they desire in
| spiration for an effective sermon all
they have to do is to take three full
doses every ten minutes. 1t never fails
| to act, because it was compounded es-
pecially for action.
I'VE must, in closing this article, as
sure Our correspondent that we are in
cordial agreement also with his views
| regarding soothing syrup, but we are
constrained to remark that in the prohi-
bition districts of North Louisiana and
Mississippi soothing syrup is at a dis
count: it is even more than1a drug on
the market, because teething and fret
full children are lulled into sleep by the
,, soporihc effect of an old fashioned
spanking Peruna has the right of way
everywhere, and the man who dares to-
raise a hand or voice against this
nuch-needed family medicine, which
has been SO cordially and publicly en-
dorsed by the church, is sure to breed
revolution"
We quite agree with the States and
would add that if one is disposed to get
on jag he should tackle the genuine
red-eye, labeled snake poison if you
will, and full up" as >gentlenan.
Why should any man having claim to
decency tank up on Peruna or medical
ed alcohol when he can get the best old
rye Or Bourbon full proof and warrant
ed pure? But the States is not alone in
its condemnation of this "Perunaic
Curse since getting drunk on medi-
Gated stuff in prohibition districts has
aroused the protests of number of
newspapers throughout North Louis
lana and other sections of the country.
For instance, the Ruston Leader is au-
thority for the statement that three
fourths of the drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct in Rustcn is traoeable to
the excessive drinking of Peruna."
The Lafayette Gazette says "The
demon of intemperance has made his
appearance in the prohibition districts
Of North Louisiana. This time the
whiskey devil is disguised in Peruna
bottles, guaranteed to cure all the ills !
that flesh is heir to. Newspaper readers
need not be told what Peruna is. 1t is |
not only claimed to be panacea for all |
bodily ailments, but it enables hundreds |
OF congressman and governors to get
their pictures in the newspapers. Were
1T not for its advertisements it is safe I
to say that many worthy statesmen
would never see their hkenesses printed
IN the papers and would be condemned
to go out of public life unknown to
fame and printers ink
But Peruna does more than, that.
Besides curing all the diseases of man
and affording to politicians an easy We
hicle to Immortality, it is a very sue
cessful substitute for booze 49,
Another authority on this subject
says: In prohibition towns and dis
tricts where the jug trade is more or
less restricted, Peruna is in great de-
mand. The man who gets his whiskey in
