FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Haz.
arded Through Ignorance
of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says a writer
in Leslie's Monthly on Labrador. you
see, we has enough O the water without
goin' to bother wi it when we are
ashore" a man said to me only the
other day. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding on till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbed to be Of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water, In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler. In the spring of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
Ice after seals, when all of a sudden it
gave way and the lads fell through.
The father, seeing it from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, selling a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and, giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late,
alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.

A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits SO
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against social
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t Is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit. Is the cause of one
half the diseases which aflict mankind.
