LAYS BLAME ON HONDURAS U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe.ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy7 Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis or golden seal.
The United States D~ispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that 1t is largely
employed in the treatment Of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic organs.
1t Is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases Pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States D;spensatory as a tonic. So also
Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and a.
q tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States D~ispensatory says of the action
of cedron that 1t is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient Of
Peruna, Is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testimo-
malls of what the people think of Pc
I'M as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.

To those who ten years ago deemed
Brown county the center of The desert
a rather funny circumstance occurred
when the farmers east of James river
turned out TO oppose the building OF a
drainage ditch from the Marshall coun-
ty line down to James river. Their
argument was that while the ditcn
would be a good thing for the Marshall
county people it would result In con-
yerting a large amount of Brown coun-
tv iand into swamps. It is noteworthy
that in the present legislature there Is
much more interest In drainage bills
than In irrigation projects.
