Pe-ru-na Should BE Kept In
Every Household
Where There Are Little
Children.

Perana should be kept in the house
all the time. Don't wait until the child
is sick. then send to drug store. But,
have Pcruna on hand-acccpt no sub
tiiute.
Children are especially liable to acute
catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections
of childhood are catarrh.
All forms of sore throat, quinsy, Group
hoarsene-s. laryngitis, etc, are but diff
fcrent phases of catarrh.
Mrs. Amelia Sailer, Mcnasha, Wis.,,
writes:
81 have used Peruna for number of
years. 1t cured me OF chronic catarrh
which suffered with from infancy.
"Wi.an my three children were born
they all had caiarrh, but ! have given
them peruna and find 1t very effective
in Kidding them of this horrible trouble.

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

She suffers even more than the child
who happens to 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 tho many liza lilitics
To disease that are before them.
Spring and summer are sure to bring
ailments, especially among the little
folks.
Ii does not take q mother very Ion. 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 Ii the
stand by. and that in all the ailments
Os " hs'~
children are subjected, pcruna il the
remedy that will most quickly relieve.
Whether il is spring fever or stomach
arrangement, whether IL Is indigestion
or bowel disease, a catarrhal congestion
OF The mucous surfaces il the cause.
peruna quickly relieves this condition
OF the mucous membranes. Its opera
tien Is prompt. the children do not dis
like in take the medicine, IL has no dele
FERROUS effects in any part OF the body.
II simple removes the cause of the
disagrccablc symptoms and restores the
health.
Pcruna Is not physic. Peruna Is not
q ncrvine nor o narcotic. Pcruna does
not produce any drug habit, however
long IL may be taken. Peruna is not n
stinulant.
Pcruna is specific remedy for all
catarrhal ailments of winter and sum
mcr. 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 1t has cured them of
their various ailments, but because IL
always rescucs the children from the
throcs and grasp Of catarrhal diseases.
We have in our files bushels of testi-
monials from mothers whose children
have been cured by Pcruna. However,
the large majority OF mothers who use
Pcruna, we never hear from.
But we do hear from great number
OF mothers who are so overjoyed at
some special good they have received
from psruna that they cannot restrain
their enthusiasm. They are anxious to
share these benefits with other mothers.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire
Household.

AS soon as the value of Peruna Is
by every household, both as
a preventive and cure, tens of thousands
of lives will be saved, and hundreds OF
thousands of chronic, lingering cases of
catarrh will be prevented.

IN All this there is not such a vida

In all this there Is not such wide
distance between the materialist and

which he cannot create for himself.

In every old system there were the

Unusual Characteristics Of inhabitants
Of the Deem Sea.

When deep-sea fish is brought TO
the surface, how gradually and care
fully soever. it's bones are often like
so much touchwood and its muscles
like rotten pulp, while its eyes arc
burst from their sockets and its Wis
cera are often blown out OF the body
cavity by the expansion OF the air
bladder. II frequently happens that
deep-sea fishes are found floating help
iessly on the surface of the ocean,
with large prey in their stomachs.
Their appearance under these circum-

The sun leaps up 20 greet the dawn:
Al break of day
lie dances on the upland lawn.
IT'S Easter Day.
The earth, too, wakes at early morn;
She must her dusky breast adorn
With yiolets and ionquils gay.
It's Easter Day!
And oh! it's Spring, the happy. happy
Spring.
Hank! tbs the thrush his rapture carroll
ing.
See! a greensward of living grass
Where yesterday there nothing was:
And the dank moss so old and gray,
Blossoms in red It's Easter Day
The day of Resurrection!
My heart leaps up TO greet my Lord,
Who rose to-day
With Him / hope TO walk abroad
On Easter Day.
Shall ! not dress I'm raiment rare.
The stars OF Heaven upon my hair
And smile and talk upon the way
On Easter Day?
For OH IL is I'm Heaven | will be
And hear the angels strange, sweet mel
ody.
All the dear flowers that bloom'd on earth
are there.
Ever more wondrous beautiful and fair
Lily of God! shall l not see thy face
Ana clasp my darling In a close embrace,
While earth and sorrow fade away
Upon that glorious Easter Day?
The day of Resurrection,
