Peruna is such a perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used It they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the dis agreeable symptoms at once. The back ache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull head ache is stopped and the weakening dralns are gradually cured. These re- suits certainly follow course of treat ment with Peruna.

The term Christian name" is used in England and America only. "Bap- tismal name" is used in other countries. The term seems to have been used first after the reformation, when Bib- lical names were used as reaction against the use of the saints names in the calendar. It is evident that all Biblical names are not Christian, but the reaction went so far as to consider everything in the Bible as Christian and everything not in the Bible as pagan or certainly non-Christian.
