GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their
Recovery After Years OF
Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, 80 Grsen1
wood Ave-, Detroit, Mich, District
Organizer Of the Royal Tenplars Of
Temperance, in a recent letter, sayst
II think that woman naturally
shrinks from making her troubles
public, but restored health has u1eant
so much to me that l feel for the sake
of other suffering women 1t Is my
duty to tell what Peruna has done
for me-
IL suffered for five years with
uterine Irregularities, which brought
on hysteria and made me a physical
wreck. I tried doctors from the DIFF
ferent schools of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair | called on
an old nurse, who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised good results *
I would persist and take 1t regularly:
I thought this was the least | could
do and procured a bottle. ] knew an
soon as began taking it that 1t was
affecting me differently from any
thing / had used before, and so / kept
on taking 1t. l kept this up for six
months, and steadily gained strength
and health. and when l had used
fifteen bottles I considered myself
happy woman to-day."-Miss Muxiel
Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh Of the pelvic
organs with the same surety C 10
cures catarrh of the head. Peruna
has become renowned a. positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh. Oatarrh Is the cause Of
the trouble. Peruna cures the CO
tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

SURGERY IN GERMANY.
American Practitioner Would Be Out
of Place Over There.

American Practitioner Would Be Out
of Place, Over There.
A young surgeon who went to Ger
many four years ago to complete his
studies in pathology, recently returned
to this country. He makes this inter-
esting comment on national differences
in the profession, says the Worlds
Work:
"It's science over there; here's it's
the business of healing. Here one
gets the elementary things in college,
learns more in hospital and in general
practice, and turns the knowledge into
money. The average American prac-
titioner would be out of place over
there. With them it's study, study
study from the time they receive their
degree until they die. At the hospitals
or meeting places, they talk nothing
but shop. l have known group Of
German doctors to leave their dinner
half eaten to visit a case under dis
cussion. They are the worst possible
practitioners, for they are interested
only in technique. l knew man who
went to a German physician with q
pain in his leg. That doctor spent an
hour EACH day for five days studying
it, and after that time he knew all
there was to know about that pain,
but he didn't stop it. In this country
we would have treated it and thought
no more about it except to congratu-
late the patient in few days on get
ting well. They don't care for the pa
tent He is only specimen. I heard
a doctor say perfectly mechanically
that he hoped Il certain patient would
die so that he might learn some fact
from the autopsy.
They call American surgeons copyists.
Wherever the charge is true, it is mere
ly that Americans turn to practical
service the theories they study. But
undoubtedly the Germans are doing
q great work. One man, it is reckoned,
has added thirty THOUSAND years to hu-
man life by nis discoveries. There is
no commercial end for them to gain, SO
that their work. for their science, must
be their only aim,
The difference aptly illustrates the
general difference between our "prac-
teal" ways and the ways Of German
learning.

THE CRISIS.
How Six Strong Men Failed to Re-
store Painting Woman.

How Six Strong Men Failed to Re-
store a Painting Woman.
The woman tainted, and these are
some Of the things that the halfdozen
men in the room with her did.
Two Of them made a dash for the
dining room to get water, and fell over
each other at the door Of that apart
ment.
One FASTENED to a neighboring drug
store for a mixture of vichy and am
monia.
One appeared suddenly with a glass
Of whisky, obtained no one knows
where.
In endeavoring to raise the gas two
able-bodied and excited masculines put
1t out and left the party in total dark
ness for at least minute, while every
one Of them fumbled in his pockets for
match.
-Four men famed the invalid with
music, handkerchiefs, hats or what
ever was to hand.
One heidi pot-pourri jar under her
nose under the mistaken impression it
would be reviving in it's effects, though
1t wasn't.
Another said, Here, DEAR" and tried
to wipe her brow with the fan he held
instead of the handkerchief that was
in his other hand.
Four Of the men called her little
woman" and entreated her to be calm.
Two said, There, there" and look
ed at each other and asked, haggard-
ly, If she were quite dead.
One put his arm around her tenta-
lively, not sure that the corpse
wouldn't sit up suddenly and smite him
for his temerity.
Another called the servant man who
had appeared in answer to his urgent
a ''blundering idiot" because he didn't
understand what was wanted when he
was told to run for the nearest hat
without any DOCTOR"
This sounds like quite an army Of
men, but in reality it was only six &C.
tive ones who did all these things. And
just as they were in despair a woman
came into the room. She took in the
situation at glance and gave her or
ders coolly. LET her lie down." said
she, land stand from around her, so
that she may get some air. She'll be
all right in a minute. Take away that
whisky and let me have the water.
There you are"
And there she was, sitting up and
blinking.
Yes, it's Just as DR.. What's Her
Name says, men are much more emo
tional than Women-Baltimor News.

Peruna cures catarTh permanently. 10

The Graves of a Household.

They grew in beauty, side by side,
They filled one home with glee;
Their graves are severed, far and wide
BY mount and stream, and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Ger each fair sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now!
One midst the forest of the West,
By dark stream is laid
The Indian knows his place Of rest
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one
He lies where pearls lie deep.
He was the loved of all, yet none
Ger his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are
dressed
Above the noble slain;
He wrapt his colors round his breast,
On a blood-red field Of Spain.
And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
1t leaves by soft winds famed;
She faded midst Italian flowers
The last of that bright band.
And parted thus they rest, who played
Beneath the same gr. en- tree;
Whose voices mingled as they prayed
Around one parent knee!
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheered with song and hearth
Alas! for love, if thou were all,
And naught beyond, oh, Earth!
Mrs. Hemans.

PadeTewski's Joke.

A well-known society woman wrote
Paderewski for "a lock of hair" She
received this reply:
Dear Madam-M. Paderewalzi directs
me to say that it affords him much pleas

failed to specify whose hair you desire,
so he sends samples of his sweep, valet,
cook, waiter and mattress belonging to

which he travelled in America.
