places I go to, such as restaurants, the

I have caught as many as six heavy colds

draughtiness is the elevated train. If a
person goes into a car somewhat heated

he will begin to sneeze few hours after

THE MACHINERY DOCTOR.
Ready, Like the Curer of Human Ills,
to Be Called at Anv Hour

Ready, Like the Curer of Human Ills,
to Be Called at Any Hour.
New York Sun: On the windows of
New York machine shop appears this
sign: Lathe work, day or night" 1t
means that the shop is ready for any
sort of work at any hour-ready to
make repairs in case of emergency.
There are now perhaps half a dozen
such concerns in the city that hold
themselves in readiness to make ma
chinery repairs at any hour in the
tWenty-four
There are in the city many manufac-
turing establishments, great and small,
running night as we'll as day. Some Of
these establishments employ their own
machinists and make their own repairs,
down in the latter they send to the
emergency repair shop, and in these
days they can get the work done at
once. The night work costs double. but
it might be a greater loss to let the
machines lie idle.
These repair shops have not only
power and equipment, so that they can
do any sort Of shop work at any hour,
but they keep on hand all sorts of parts
that might be required in any of the
repairs they are likely to be called upon
to make. Their clients have their tele-
phone numbers and in case of need. at
any hour. they call up the shop or the
home of the boss. At either place there
is kept a roster of the men belonging
to the shop who can be called upon and
quickly reached, and in very short or
der the men required for the job are on
their way to answer to the call.
The physician has, at all times, been
ready to answer calls. The drug store
night bell is familiar, and in these days
there are many drug stores that are
open day and night. A modern night
| bell is that Of the plumber, who keeps
| a man in his shop to answer night calls
| or posts his night address there. In one
! place in this city, down on the water
front, you will find the night bell of a
wrecking company, where relieving
outfit can be summoned into prompt &C
| ton.
Newest among these emergency work
ers who may be summoned at any hour
| is the machinery doctor, who, like the
curer of human ills, can be called up al
any hour, night or day, to cure ailing
| machinery.

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why
Peruna is called tonic Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the
nervous system little.
1t gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the
blood fluids and preventing their drain

Constant splitting, and blowing the
nose will finally produce extreme weak
