A resident of Havana, Cuba, while
gladly admitting that United States
occupancy. of the island resulted in
the almost total obliteration of yellow
fever, says that when Cuban starts
for the States, especially New York,
he is warned to be careful about con-
tracing pneumonia. I'VE fear pneu-
monia when in the States much more
than we ever feared yellow fever when
in Cuba" he said. Pneumonia claims
it's victims by the hundreds of thou
sands every year, yet we hear much
less about it than we used to hear
about yellow fever Perhaps we have
become so accustomed to the devastar
lions of pneumonia that we give it lit
tie attention. But the medical profess
sion is striving earnestly to combat
1t, and in view of the professions sue
cess in combating other and once
dreaded diseases 1t is not too much to
hope that in due time the disease will
have lost its force.

genious machinery Partisan epicures
are said to prefer the artificial to the
genuine, even though the latter had
fed itself among the vine leaves of
Burgundy, finding in the manufac-

flavor that is highly enjoyed. On all
accounts, then, Americans who are in

When this system was introduced

without love the world would be a

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent 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 acquiring drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t Is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by remov-
ing the cause of catarrh. There are null

used on and off for twenty years Such a
thing could not be possible if Peruna con-

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease Is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink

i've study to the subject, and In pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney trou bles.
The Vegetable Compound acts In hsr-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, ard 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. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly infect the
kidneys, and when woman has such

Epilepsy, though known to Hippo
crates 5000 years ago, and numbering
its victims by millions, still remains
one of the most mysterious and neglect

was especially made for this particular

was sufficient to attracte a single nail
