"A Der Of physicians prescribe .Peruna
in their regular practice. II. It has
proven it's merits so thoroughly that, even
the doctors have overcome their ipreju-
dice against so-called patent medicines
and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
every one will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which 'afflict. mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases aflict
one-haR Of the people Of United States.
Catarrh may invade any organ Of the
body. may destroy any function Of the
body. 1t most commonly attacks the
head, nose and throat, but thousands
upon thousands of cases of catarrh of
the lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder and
other pelvic organs have been cured by

action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means inf1amed mucous mem
branes. Peruna acts at, once to cleanse
and invigorate the catarrhal condition
Of the mucous membrane no matter where
it may occur in the body. It's action is
the same on mucous lining Of the nose
as on the mucous lining Of the bowels.
It cures the catarrhal Inflammation Wher-
ever it may occur.
DR.. R. Robbins, Muskogee, l. r., writes:
"Perlina is the best medicine know of
for cough and to strengthen weak stom-
ach and to give appetite. Besides pre-
scribing it for catarrh I have ordered, it
for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had patient but said it helped
him. It Is an excellent medicine and it
fits so many cases. --'' -'~'-- F..

We say Peruna cures catarrh. The
people say Peruna cures catarrh Promi-
nent men and women all over the United
States from Maine to California do not
hesitate to come out in public print to
say that Peruna is what it is recon-
| mended to be, an internal, systemic ca
tarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever

Eyes, that would certainly lead to a
cure But how about rheumatism? Peo-
pie claim that Peruna will cure rheuma-
tism."
well, in the first place, a great many
cases Of supposed rheumatism are not
in reality rheumatism, but mylagia or
neuralgia, which are dependent on low
cred states of vitality, as before stated.
Then, again, rheumatism, you know, de-
ponds upon a hyper5acidity Of the blood,
How do you suppose the blood becomes
overloaded with Tactic and uric acids,
as the case may be, which produces rheu-
| natisn?' S sss.,; -
ut must come from the products Of di-

remedy, as it acts on the vasa-nnotor sys-
tenn of nerves with benefit. It increases
the tone Of the blood vessels and causes
them to act In their normal healthy con-

Dr.. Hartman Does Not Believe In
Cure-alTs.

Neither do believe in cure-alls, nor
have I ever claimed that Peruna was a
cure-all. Peruna cures just one disease
-catarrh-but, as you we'll know, any
organ in the body is. liable to- eatarrh. Ca
tarrh assumes many phases and is sub
ject to many complications and is con-
sequently known by great many differ
ent names, In claiming, however, that
Peruna will cure these different condi-
lions, am only claiming that it will cure
one disease-catarrh. Can you find any
fault with that, doctor?"
well, no, cannot. But according to
my information in the case, people claim
that they have been cured of rheumatism
malaria, nervous prostration, neuralgia
and heart disease. Now, if your remedy
cures one disease only, how do you &C.
count for it that it has the reputation
Of curing these other ailments?''
Pe-ru-na EnrIches the Blood and In.
creases tho Vitality.
'sWell, in the first place, nervous pros
tration and neuralgia are each directly
dependent upon the blood and low state
of vitality. Now Peruna Immediately en-.
riches the blood and increases the vitalit,
by producing perfect digestion. This i
does in its action on the mucous mem
brane of the stomach and other digestive
organs. II the truth were known in thes,
cases I suppose we would find that ca

A physician of wide celebrity called
upon DR.. Hartman one day and after the
usual sa1utations had passed between
them the doctor suddenly remarked:
II have called to see you, DR.. Hart
man., to satisfy my mind on some. points.
I have always been opposed to advertised
methods and considered them all more or
less frauds. But I have known you so
long to be a. renowned physician and an
honorable gentleman, that I am puzzled
to know which Of us Is wrong . ...., =. :
A Duty to Advertise Peruna.
,'well, it may turn out that neither of
us Is wrong. We both are sincere in the
matter according to our understanding.
I have good medicine; want the peo-
Pile to know 1t. I believe it would be
positively wrong for nae to conceal the
fact. I believe 1t not only to be my
privilege to advertise Peruna, but my duty
to do so.'' t.'<-
''Well, suppose I grant that; surely you
cannot believe that your remedy (Peruna)
is cure-all. No educated physician be-
lieves in cure-alls.' -

IT will think this matter over before
attempting to make you any reply. 1t
don't seem possible that all this can be
true; but now as to heart disease What
are you going to do with the claim that
Peruna will cure heart disease?"
Heart Disease Often Due to Dyspepsia.
'1n you mean by heart disease, inflam
nation Of the covering or lining of the
heart (per1carditis and endocarditis) then
agree with you that Pe-ru-na will not
cure heart, disease Neither will any other
medicine. But you know, doctor, that
there are a thousand and one functional
disturbances Of the heart caused by irrt-
tatlon OF the pneumo- gastric nerve, which
the people call heart disease. These dis
turhanees Of the heart are even more
difficult to bear than organic disease of
the heart, and Pe-ru-na will cure them
simply because It cures any catarrhal af-
lection OF the digestive tract Most of

HoP-1N JOHN.

Before describing this homely. but
.toothso1ne Carolina dish. it may not be
out Of place to explain the original OF tts
somewhat curious name. The story runs
in this Wise. A certain maiden had a
lover named John. Now John was her
fathers right hand man. but, unfortu-
nately for the course of true love. tho
farmer did not fancy him as son-in-
law. so his counting had to be done
when the old man was out Of the way.
The expedient the young people hit upon
was this: When the coast was clear IN
the evening, certain dish was always
served at dinner which John interpreted
as an Invitation to hop in!'
The dish itself consists Of equal parts
OF rice and red Gas they are called In
Carolina, "cow') pease boiled together
with a piece Of sweet. fat white bacon,
salt and red pepper being the only sea-
soning. AS the pease require much
longer time to boil than the rice. they
are put on first, and the rice and bacon
added later. In serving. the bacon is
placed In the middle of flat meat dish
and the pease and rice piled high around
IT. Simple and homely as 1t Is. "Hop-in-
john is popular with all classes OF
