Women Who Wear wen.

1t is astonishing how great o change
few years Of married lie often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesscs which too often come with mar
riago and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and tho form Of its
fairness. ......,.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness IN tho natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY had ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, Laxative and tonics, were to be
found In almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies as
picra, which was aloes and quassia,
dissolved in apple brandy. Some
times hop tonic, made Of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulae
for which were passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would
take 1t UP, improve II in many ways,
manufacture 1t on q large scale, ad-
vertise it mainly through a1manacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over large area. LAT
TERLY THE SEHOLD D
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM. ..... ....
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by
the Msnnonites, Of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
C0MPoUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, ne pre-
scribed 1t for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna Is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal diseases generally.
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and to rely ON his remedy,
Peruna.

Undivided Advice.

A NeN. Orleans man said regretfully of
the late Harold Van Buren, the American
consul at Nice:
Every American traveller will be sad
to hear OF the death of this distinguished

Riviera, and very charitable, very help

used to tell about. Karr used to say that
there was q venerable judge who, when
the moment for passing sentence on q

penalty.

Twenty-Five Bushels Wheat and
Forty-flve Bushels Oats Per Aero

Saltcoats. Sask., Dec. 8, 1905.
To the Editor--Dear Sir:
l willingly give you the result Of my
four and half years experience in
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous TO coming here l farmed in
Baldwin, st. Crolx County, Wis. and
as have heard a great deal about the
Canadian Northwest. l decided to take
a trip there and see the country for
myself. l was so impressed with the
richness of the soil that bought half
a section Of land about five miles from
the town Of Saltcoats. moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year l broke 90 acres, which | crop
ped in 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905. with MI acreage of
160 acres, had "a bushels wheat and
35 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906,
with 175 acres under crop, had y
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, have had to work
hard, but l don't mind that when | get
such a good return for my labor.
To any one thinking about coming to
this country l can truthfully say that
If they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trihes, they are bound to
get on. Some things | would like diff
ferent, but take the country all round,
l don't know where to go to get bet.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of livinr
not one woman in O thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms. .....
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
mt this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition OF she is predisposed to
apoplcxy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this per o d
likely to become active and with a
hostof nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pendingevil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
.ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t

The diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
