 As his friends were inercdulous he offered to bet a dinner on the proposition.

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 catarrh2 Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity such a catarrh remedy2 Let us see what the United States Dispensatorv says of the principal ingredients of Peruna.
 Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal, The United States Dispen satory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrhD, atomic dyspepsia tca- tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti. nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca- tsrrh of the liver and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treat ment of various forms of diseases ps- culiar to women.
 Another ingredient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispen satory as tonic. So also Is cubebs classed as a stomachic and ss 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 it is used as 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. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as stimu- lant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys- entery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys.

EEK LONG BURIED WEALTH.
Gold Hunters Kill Trees and Turn Up
 Much Soil in Search.

Ever since John Finn, a farm hand in Hanover Neck, unearthed a small tin box with British gold pieces in 1t the farmers in this sec- tion of the state have been annoyed by bands of treasure hunters, says the New York Tribune. Tradition says that much treasure was buried about here by farmers wives during the revolution to prevent the British soldiers from getting it. The sol diers learned, 1t is said, that a wom- an named Futile had several hun dred pounds hidden away. They never learned, however, where 1t was. She was put to death, so the story goes, and her home was burned.
 No one has ever found any of the treasure. It was said that the money was buried at the root of an old tree and the treasure seekers have dug around all the old trees in Hanover Neck. Many of the prop erty owners hope that the coin will soon be found, for many fine trees have been killed by the gold seek CTS. Not only have the roots been exposed, but in some instances ex- plosiyes have been used. Scarcely a tree in the immediate neighborhood of Hanover has escaped the seekers.
 Finn was compelled to leave town, as curiosity seekers annoyed him so that he was absolutely no use to his employers. He received many offers for his coins, but he decided that if they were worth that much to others they were double the value to him, and he refused not only to sell but even to show them to strangers. Che coin collector offered $500 for the money.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair White but She Was Cured by
 pr. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering simply, but free your system from the disease which is the cause of your suffering.

Hot applications, powders that deaden the senses and others tnat reduce the heart action may cause temporary re- lief but the pain is sure to return vita greater intensity.

 My trouble began about six years ago and l did not rest as l should have. but kept up about my many duties. After time I became SO weak l could not do any work at all. l had severe backaches and such dreadful headaches in the back part and top of my head. My eyes were easily tired and at times l saw black spots before them. consulted sey. eral doctors but without the slightest benefit. The pains were so intense that my hair turned white
