The English game is played quite
differently from the American and
French games It is q combination of
the American games of both pool and
billiards, being played on a table hav-

table, and the points as scored in both
of the American games being counted.
The French and American games are
played with three balls upon a table
without pockets and only "canons' or
''caroms'' are counted In America the
game of billiards has undergone a
rapid development on account Of the
great skill acquired by American play
ers. Early in the last century the
game was commonly played with four
balls upon a pool table, more or less
like the present English game, for

style of playing proved so simple that

Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be
