A Russian official named NJ. Loktieff
on returning home with his wife about
2 o'clock in the morning was attract
ed by strange noise in the drawing
room, as if chair was being pushed.
An examination by candle light reveal
ed nothing amiss, and search in the
other rooms had the same result.
They returned to the drawing room,
where large portrait of Nine. Lok-
tieff's grandfather, in the uniform of
a Uhlan officer, was standing against
the wall. The young wife glanced at
the portrait and uttering a scream
rushed out of the room.

entered the room in her search for it,
A wild Shrek followed. Her husband
rushed in and found his wife lying In
a dead faint on the floor With the
cooks help ne carried his wife to bed
While he was nursing her he told the
cook to search the room carefully, but
she did not find anything suspicious
The next morning Nj. Loktieff, look

that the eyes had been cut out and the
portrait had been moved little from
the wall Further investigation showed
that many valuables were missing. The

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-Tu-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it TO be an efTec-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruua
is I'm reality such n catarrh remedy?
Let us see what the United States Dis
pensatory says of the principal in-
gradients OF Peruna.
Take. for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
Tho United States Dispcnsatory says
OF this herbal remedy, that IL is large
ly employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rlinitis (nasal Catarrh), atomic dys-
pepSia (Catarrh of the stomach),
chronic intestinal Catarrh, catarrhal
iaundice (Catarrh or the Iiver), and
i'm 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 Pcrunn, cory
dalis formosa, is classed i'm the United
states Dispensatory as u tonic. So also
Is Cubebs ClasSed as a stomachic and
ms tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found i'm
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensntory says of the action
Of cedron that il is used us a bitter
tonic and in the treatment OF dysen-
tory, and in intermittent diseases as u
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaibn, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classcd by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. It acts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract. It acts as a
stimulant on the gcnito-urinary mcm-
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis.
chronic dyscntcry and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.

How often do you hear these signi-

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

depression of spirits. reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
