HORSE TAKES TO ICE CREAM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TRENTON, N. j. Sept. LA horse
with an Unsuitable appetite for ice
cream has been following one Of the
wagons Of local ice cream company
about the streets for several days.
The animal joined the wagon one day
as it was making a trip through the
suburbs when it had apparently turned
out to browse on grass in vacant lots.
The driver tried the horse with a
spoonful Of ice cream. 1t seemed
greatly pleased, and since that time it
has been impossible to get rid Of the
animal, which trots along behind the
wagon. When a stop is made it puts
it's head in at the window and begs for
ice cream. Judging from the looks of
the horse, it is in need of something
more substantial than ice cream.

The rational cure for nervousness is
to correct the condition upon which it
depends.
1t is because Peruna does this very
thing that 1t has become so popular for
diseases of the nervous system
Miss Alma Cox Drum, S. c., writes:
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-02

Peruna is not nervine. 1t does not
benefit nervous debility by stimulating
merely.
1t removes the cause of many cases of
nervous debility. 1t assists digestion,
increases the appetite, regulates the
circulation of the blood and thus gives
new life to nervous invalids.
