OF all the diseases known, with

herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements OF

kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,

or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet

young men of Washington, was unex-
pectedly drafted a Sunday or two
ago to teach class in Sunday school.
The regular teacher was i'll. Mr..
Hooe decided the best and safest tack
for him was to question the chill
dren on their knowledge of Biblical
characters. He turned to the first
boy in the row and asked: my son,
who was Nebuchadnezzar?
"He ate grass" announced the boy,
with an air that showed he wondered
what sort of chap was asking that
simple question.
Now, my boy" said Mr.. Hooe to
the next lad, you tell me who Abra-
ham was"
Sure" that boy replied. He was
the gent that freed the colored ladies
and gentlemen from slavery"

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 acquir-
ing drug habit Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
emit in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,

Dill, when the senator remarked upon
the advisability of having pure food
