Americans, as people, are probably
the most nervous Of any In the world,
and there is n growing tendency to use
"bracers"--a use which quickly devel-
ops into habit. With men 1t Is usual
ly a drink and with women some bro
mide preparation. Tea and coffee are
also called upon to a large extent, but
their effects are slight.
Probably the best "bracer" for the
nerves-and one which is certainly
harmless-is cold water The Russians
have great faith In this cure, splashing
1t over the face and holding the hands
in 1t for several minuses. Then glass
full is slipped slowly. The Japanese
prescription is glass of hot milk.
slipped very slowly, and many English
physicians lndorse that remedy. The
milk should be as hot as the patient
can stand it.
A number of the best French doctors
advise such OF their patients as suffer
from nerves to sit quietly for half an
hour with bare feet.

DO Lightning Conductors Conduct:
The efficiency of lightning conduc-
tors is fairly well attested by the free
dom OF the great cathedrals and tall
spired churches from injury. St.
Pauls and Westminster Abbey, for ex-
ample, are well protected, and serve
to safeguard large area surrounding
them. Experience in the navy is to
the same effect. In former days, be-
fore conductors were employed, there
was an annual charge for damage to
his majesty's ships by lightning. Be.
tween 1910 and 1915. according to Sin
w. Snow Harris, thirty-five sails of
the line and thirty-five frigates and
smaller vessels were completely disa-
bled. That item has now vanished
from the votes.--Londonj Daily Tele

Those who share the prosperity OF
that eccentric EnglisIman known as
Baron Hardin Hickey and likewise as
James L. of Trinidad should interest
themselves, it is remarked, in the ca
reer of his only daughter, Reina Har-
din Hickey, who lives in New York.
The girl was named Reina when her
father thought she would succeed him
in reigning over the barren rock of
Trinidad. she is an attractive young
woman with glorious soprano voice.
She was trained in Paris and Italy,
and why she has not attained
fame and fortune in grand opera
is what her friends cannot COM
preheGd. They assert that women
with voices of less power and sweet
ness are singing in the celebrated
opera houses Miss Hardin-Hickey en-
joyed brief popularity in Washington,
but she fled from the prominence given
to ragtime and other light kinds Of
melody. She is disciple of the clas-
sic and Is absolutely uncompromisin2

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
% 1t a Catarrli Remedy, or q
Tonic, or Is it Both?

Some people call Peruua great
ionic. Others refer to Peruna as q
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are righta
u 1t moro proper to call Peruna CO.
earrh remedy than to call it tonice
Our reply is, that feruna is both a
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In ordsr to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, O remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
earrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, Is weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
on the circulation, to give tone TO the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers az HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful efi-
'oacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and Is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed In Pc
runa which constitutes specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state Of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein.
forced by such renowned tonics as
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALTS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, pcruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment Is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms well-groundcd the
ory the result 10 truth that cannot be
shaken.
