OLD MEN OF FAMOUS NAME.
Many Noted Authors Were Productive
 After Three Score and Ten.

The tall, handsome, myrlad-mlnded Goethe wrought at his tasks till he was nearly S3 years old. He produced the first part of his masterpiece, Faust" at 57, the second part when S0 years old, and wrote some of his most beautiful poems at 75. Six of our foremost American poets-and all but one in quantity as well as in qual- ity of verse-Bryant, Whittier, Long, fellow, Lowell, Holmes and Emerson lived to ages varying from D to S5 and were productive to the last. Dr. Holmes wrote in his eighty-Hfth year that time does not threaten the old man so often with the scythe as with the sandbag," yet he wrote brilliant verse for special occasions almost to the end.
 Theodore Mommsen, the historian, man of almost insignificant stature and emaciated frame, manifested in his eighty-sixth and last year the energy of a man in middle life. The Earl of Dundonald, though he was al- ways in hot water, and his whole life was series of quarrels-though he performed some of the most daredevil feats recorded in the history of naval warfare, winning many brilliant vic tories against enormous odds-lived to So and wrote his history of the libera- ton of Peru, Chili and Brazil and "The Autobiography of Seaman" two most vigorous, lucid and dashing works, under the stress of intense physical pain, in the last three years of his life.
 Sir Charles James Napier, the hero of Scinde, was 60 before he held any great command He fought and won great battles, governed success fully great provinces and achieved great name long after that period of life had passed when, according to an antique morality not quite exploded, 1t behooves man to lay aside the things of the present life and to pre- pare his soul for the next.-Saturday Evening Post.

Moravia, N. Y, Dec. 12th.-(Spec' iaD-Bordering on the miraculous is the case of Mrs. Benj. Wilson of this place. Suffering from Sugar Dia- betes, she wasted away till from weighing 200 lbs. she barely tipped the scales at 130 lbs. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure her husband says:-
 My wife suffered everything from Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years and doctored with two doctors, but received no benefit. She had so much pain all over her that she could not rest day or night The doctor said that she could not live.
 Then an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped her right from the first. Five boxes of them cured her. Dodd's Kid ney Pills were God-Sent remedy to us and we recommend them to all suffering from Kidney Disease"

Mrs. Ala Schwandt, Sanborn, Minn., writes:
 "l have been troubled with rheu- matsm and catarrh for twenty-five years. Could not sleep day or night. After having used Peruna 1 can sleep and nothing bothers me now. If l ever am affected with any kind of sickness Peruna will be the med icne 1 shall use.. My son was cured of catarrh of the larynx by Peruna." Mrs. Ala Schwandt.
 Why Old People are Especially IL
 able to Systemic Catarrh.
 When old age comes on, catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people.
 This explains why Peruna has be- come so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that entirely meets these cases. Nothing but an effective systemic remedy can cure them

Remarkable Cures
 Effected By Pe-ru-na.

Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following let ter:
 My wife has been sufferer from complication of diseases for the past twenty-five years. Her case has baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years standing. She was also passing through that most critical pe- riod in the life of woman-change of life.
 "In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have 10 say it completely cured her.
