The. reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
s1uandere1 away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect. as the monuments yet re-
naming abundantly prove. they stand
alone and without rival We may
form some idea Of the almost incred,
ible waste when we hear that 2.OoO
men were occupied for three years in
CARRYING Il single stone from Elephan-
tine to Sais that the canal of the Red
sea alone cost the lives of 10000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor OF 36O,Ooo
men for twenty years.

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, 1t begins to
relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once.
The backache ceases. the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite restored, the
digestion made perfect, the dull headache
is stopped and the weake ming drains are
gradually cured. These results certainly
follow course of treatment with Peruna.
