Sand Cure For Dyspepsia.

number of persons in West
chester, Pa, who are sufferers from
stomach troubles are trying the sand
cure. The sand, SO a dispatch tells
US, comes from Mississippi in bags
OF two quarts each. 1t is taken in
doses of a teaspoonful, and as often
as the patient feels trouble coming.
When any animal has an attack
Of stomach trouble argues one of
the believers In the cure, "it goes
at once to the ground for some clay
or sand, and why should not man 2"
Why not, indeed? There is no
reason under the sun for many's
going elsewhere than to the ground
for cure when he has stomach
trouble, Unless it be that when man
has stomach trouble he is more un-
reasonable than at any other time.
The sand cure will appeal strong
ly to the great majority of people
whose stomachs are all right, and
in time these people, when their
stomachs go wrong, may, by the
exercise of will power, convince
themselves that duty to themselves
and to their families, to say nothing
of friends and country, demands that
they shall go to the ground for a
cure.-Chlcago Inter Ocean.

Senator Clark Prefers Cars.

A few nights ago, when miserable
weather prevailed, sloppy under foot
and a storm of half sleet pelting
down, a man in evening dress board
ed the Connecticut Avenue owl
car, says the Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Record Herald.
He had come from one of the down
town hotels, avoiding the cabbies
marshaled at the entrance.
He sat in the crowded and be-
draggled car, drops of dampness
hanging to the brim of his silk tile,
wedged in between white man
and negro carrying an obtrusive
bundle. AS he CROPPED for his nickel
fare, half the passengers snickered
and made audible remarks about
some people who could afford cabs.
Half way up Connecticut Avenue the
passenger who excited so much com
ment alighted and trudged through
the storm to his place of abode.
1t was Senator William A. Clark,
of Montana, one of the richest men
In the country. Few, If any, in
Washington ever saw this multi
Millionaire in a cab, but every day
he may be seen waiting on a corner
or chasing his way through the We
hicles of this thoroughfare to board
the economical trolley.

Diamonds In His Shoes.

The statement was recently pub
lished that a certain set of fashion
able young men were wearing dia-
monds in their shoe tops. Diamond
ornaments in shoes bark back to
the days of the Revolutionary War
and were worn by merchants of
Boston In those days. Thomas Rus
sail, of Charlestown, who died in
1896, was one of the most active of
business men of his day in Boston
and the first to engage in the Ameri-
can trade with Russia after the
Revolution.
His dress was typical of his time
and is thus described in an old print:
He usually wore coat OF some
light-colored cloth, small clothes,
diamond buckles at the knees and
in the shoes. silk stockings, powder
ed hair and cooked hat; in cold
weather a scarlet cloak. boston

OF Came The Hats.

1t isn't hard to persuade women
to remove their hats "in meetin'
when you know how to go about 1t.
Harry X. Shields, the singer who
assists the Rev. r. H. CrossHeld, the
evangelist, in his revival meetings,
knows how. This is the way he did
1t recently at the First Christian
Church, Eleventh and Locust
Streets.

ginning, l want to ask the women
in the audience to join with me in

sing well you must breathe well.

arm and take full breath. Then
put your hand on the back of your
hat and-remove one hat pin, then
the second.

"I am not feeling very we'll" 'I

How often do you hear these signi-
6cant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
Is cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
e Pinkhan of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source Of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery TO women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
60 anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.

cause Of all your suffering. Lydia E.

once removes such troubles The

Not long ago the sole and absorb
ing mission of Edmonton, in a COM
mercial way, was to blk ignorant
Klondike adventurers-poor fellows
who thought that Alaska was per-
haps 100 miles west of Winnipeg
into Quitting there for the land
of gold. There were Englishmen
bound for the Klondike who brought
with them as far as Edmonton their
own baled hay-a fact, though it
seems impossible, even for an Eng
lishman-and others who brought
traction engines to carry them thence
merrily over the Rockies to the
Klondike, and yet others who had
barrels rigged with axles and shafts
for horse draft, which in transit
nicely mingled nails, sugar, baking
powder and other goods into one
homogeneous fabric, and many other
similarly crazed and wholly idiotic
men, who thought they knew where
the frontier was and how it might
be mastered.-Emerson Hough, in

U. S. DIsPENsAT0RY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained In Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim II to be an effcc-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruna
is I'm reality such catarrh remedy?
Let us see what the United States Dis
pensatory says of the principal i'm
gradients of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadcnsis, or golden seal.
Tho United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that il is large
Iy employed in the treatment of de-
praved mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic dys-
pepsia (catarrh of the stomach).
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes of the
pelvic organs. It is also recommended
for the treatment OF various forms Of
diseases peculiar TO women.
Another Ingredient of Peruna, cory
daIis formosa, Is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs cIassed as stomachic and
as a 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 Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that IL is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another Ingredient
of Peruna, is cIassed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. 1t acts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as a
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem-
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testi.
monials of what the people think Of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony Of
those who have tried it.
