The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1903-04-02

are forced to admit that it never misses
a shot This statement is made advised
1y, because several years ago we lin
gered with devoted friend and a 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 med
cine That occasion will ever remain
bright yet painful spot III Our mind.
The hilarity exceeded three days ard
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 VIC
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. It 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 proili-
bition districts of North Louisiana and
| Mississippi soothing syrup is at dis
count; it is even more than a drug on
the market, because teething and fret
full children are 1ulled into sleep by the
soporifc effect of an old-fastioned
spanking. Peruna has the right of way
everywhere, and the man who dares to
! raise$a hand or voice against this
much-needed family medicine, which
has been SO cordially and publicly en-
dorsed by the church, is sure to breed a
revolution. d"
| 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 a gentleman.
Why should any man having claim to
decency tank UP on Peruna or medicat-
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 a 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 Ruston is traceable to
the excessive drinking of Peruna.'
The lafayette Gazette says: "The
demon of internperance 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
It not for its advertisements it is safe
to say that many worthy statesmen
would never see their 1kenesses 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
hlcle to Immortality, it is very. suc-

Another authority on this subject
says: In prohibition towns and dis
trlets where the Jug trade is more or
less restricted, Peruna is in great de-
11arld. The man who gets his whiskey in
the jug will rarely drink to excess, but
if he should become intoxicated on the
genuine article he would be condemned
and perhaps held for some violation of
law, but any one in prohibition town
or district may get tanked up on Pc
