Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Pcruna 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 acquir-
ing n drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
ent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system.
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Pcruna
has been used OFF and on for tvs snty
years. Such thing could not he pos

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here is an illustration. Mrs Mary L. Koehne. 371 Garfield Avenue, Chicago, H., writes:
 "Ihave used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for years in my family and it never disappoints so when l felt that was nearing the change of life commenced treat ment with it. l took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the headaches with which had suffered for months before taking the Compound.

Joseph Hocking.

Joseph Hooking, the English novelist, whose latest popular success, "The Coming of the King" a romance of the time of Charles IL of England. has just been published in this country is a Methodist clergyman. MT. Hocking's mother had a dreamy, imaginative turn of mind, and used to tell her children many wild stories of supernatural be- ings. Her gift for narrative was most remarkable, and the little circle would sit entranced as she talked of wizards. fairies, smugglers. and apparitions. Two of her boys learned from her the craft of the novelist MT. Hooking sent the first of his book manuscripts to the publishers in London, with many misgivings. On the day when he re- ceived a letter saying that it had been accepted his first child was born, so that two great joys came together.
 Mir. Hooking has written at least a score of novels. many of which have had phenomenal sale in Great Britain. One novel year is his usual literary output, In The Coming of the King" MT. Hooking, however, dips into the history of the events that followed hard upon Cromwells Protectorate. at the time when the Stuarts and the Puritans were at odds. The pen pictures of Charles II. and his court are vividly drawn, while the Duke of York, afterwards James IT., is strongly portrayed. The incidents of the story are broadly conceived and told with all the art of an accomplished TO- mancist.
