Live Man Made Ready for Grave.

A sailor named Kelly, while at Port
Louis, Mauritius, recently, contracted
fever and fell into a state of coma.
The catalepsy was SO prolonged that
he was pronounced dead and removed
to the mortuary. When the coolie at
tendants came to prepare his body
for burial they handled him roughly
and his head came in contact with
the stone slab on which he was laid
The shock broke the spell and reused
him to life again. The coolies all fled
and Kelly had to free himself from
his grave clothes. He was fully con-
scious of all that happened when in
a state of catalepsy, but was unable to
move or speak.

Interfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it ON. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She saws:
For more than seven years was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became SO restless that I could not
sit still any length of time Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that was OH the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which 1 be-
longed.''

two of Natures beautifiers, and those
who want to have clear skins, bright
eyes and rosy color will embrace every
opportunity of being in the open air.
More important than all of these, is,
that the young woman or middle-aged
woman starts with a healthy womanly
system. If she is dragged down or
suffers greatly at stated periods, she is
bound to have that dragged-out, worn
out look which goes with womanly
weakness. But this is not difficult to
cure, because a physician, who makes
speciality of diseases of women, has
given to the world medicine which is
absolutely a cure for these weaknesses.

Starch is free from all injurious chem

a 12-oz. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to

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. 1t 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
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of mar
cotic nature.

Proper Way to SIeep.

According to Dr. Fischer of Berlin.
the most effective position of sleep
for obtaining intellectual rest is to
keep the head low and the feet slight
ly elevated. Failing this the body
should, at any rate, be horizontal, so
as to irrigate the brain well. The
habit of sleeping with head low and
feet high is, according to the doctor,
remedy for brain troubles and some
internal maladies. 1t can be adopted
gradually.
