Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can
be used any length of time without ac-
quiring drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.

The steamer showed the distress u had
suffered. and Capt. Robert .. Jepson
and the crew were all but prostrated by
exhaustion.
The steamer left Antwerp November

the steamer was at the mercy OF a fierce

In the after hold, amid 500 tons of rags,
Chemicals. phosphates. and other inflam-

For three days the crew battled with
the flames, pouring tons of water on the
fire before 1t was under control. Many
explosions I'm the fire created the great
est anxiety for the vessel. With fright
full seas and fierce gales in their great
est fury and with rnomentary danger
from the flames. Captain Jepson had his
hands full keeping the steamer under
control He encouraged the men, how
ever. and confined the danger TO the
after hold.
While the fire was still raging and i'm
the midst OF a southeast gale and noun
famous seas breaking over her decks.
the captain sighted a large steamer with
two masts and a red funnel with black

The greatest apprehension was felt lest
the fire burn through the forward hold,

signals. Captain Jepson and the crew
cannot understand such treatment
Captain Jepson said today: SWhen You
realize that we were LOCO miles from
England and 1000 miles from Boston,
you see why We think the steamer
treated US very shabbily- The steamer
was not more than a quarter of a mile
away. II did not even slow down. but
proceeded full steam ahead. We could
not make out the name, but / believe Ii
was a French steamer.
II feel very proud of our crew for their
excellent behavior in face of danger and
in this great emergency. The sailors are
nearly all Dutch. During the fire they
worked like Trojans for nearly eighty
hours st a stretch without hardly

The seventeenth Centsry nsuse.

In the seventeenth century 1t was
thought injurious to sleep In rooms
facing the sun, so most OF the original
rooms fnced north and east, opening off
a passage or else out OF each other.
The arrangement has been very clear
ly described by Mr.. Barring Gould: "At
the head of the stairs slept the mas
ter and his wife, and all the rooms
tenanted by the rest of the household
were accessible only through that. The
daughters of the house and maidServ-
ants lay in rooms on one side, say the
right, with the maids in those most
distant; those OF the men lay on the
left, the sons OF the house nearest the
chamber OF the master and the serving
men faIthest OFF, According to our
