ever, in fhe dry sections, where the
rainfall does not exceed ten or twelve
Inches. for there 1t will grow and do

NATURE Sunny

The question of teaching agriculture
In the public schools is matter which
Is receiving much attention just now
oil over the country. We do not In
cline to the belief that it Is advisable
to make agriculture one of the fixed
studies. but do believe that course of
nature studies, largely given out of
doors to the pupils, can be made Of Inn
mense usefulness. Object lessons on
tree, plant and flower. on the evolu-
ton of plant life, knowledge Of the
birds and insects. Of the clouds, the
rain, snow and frost, of the winds, of
the distribution of Jseeds-in a word, OF
all the common things OF life-would
prove most valuable part Of the edu-
cation of any child. And 1t is kind
Of knowledge which all children are en-
thused to have and acquire. never re-
garding the obtaining of It az In any

When Sickness Comes to the
Little Ones
1t Is the Mother Who Chiefly
Suffers.


She suffers oven more than the child
who happens 10 be sick.
Her sympathy.is deeper than that of
any other member of the family.
The mothers look forward with dread
to the torrid heat of summer, thinking
of their children and the many liabilities
TO disease that are before them.
Spring and summer are sure to bring
ailments, especially among the little
folks.
Itdoes not take mother very long to
discover that Peruna is the best friend
she has in times of illness among the
children.
The doctors may come and go with
their different theories and constant
change of remedies.
The doctor of years ago gave entirely
different remedies than he does today.
Each year finds some change in his
prescriptions and in the drugs he relies
upon.
A Multitude Of Mothers
Have discovered that Pcruna is the
standby, and that in all the ailments
of spring and summer to which the
children are subjected, Peruna is the
remedy that will most quickly relieve.
Whether 1t is spring fever or stomach
arrangement, whether it is indigestion
or bowel disease, q catarrhal congestion
Of the mucous surfaces is the cause.
Peruna quickly relieves this condition
vf the mucous membranes. Its opera
ton is prompt, the children do not dis
dke to take the medicine, it has no dele
terious effects in any part of the body.
1t simple removes the cause of the
disagreeable symptoms and restores the
health.
Peruna is not a physic. Peruna Is not
hnervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does
not produce any drug habit, however
long 1t may bo taken. Peruna is not a
stimulant.
Peruna is specific remedy for all
catarrhal ailments of winter and sum
mer, acute or chronic.
The mothers all over the United States
are the best friends that Peruna has.
The Mothers Hold Pe-ru-na in High
Esteem,
Not only because it has cured them of
their various ailments, but because 1T
always rescues the children from the
throes and grasp of catarrhal diseases.
We have in cur files bushels of testi
monials from mothers whose children
have been cured by Peruna. However,
the large majority of mothers who use
Peruna, we never hear from.
But we do hear from a great number
OF mothers who are so overjoyed at
some special good they have received
from Peruna that they cannot restrain
their enthusiasm. They are anxious TO
hare these benefits with other mothers.
