The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it q sun bath to SWeeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSSes which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of q foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the diSSem-
ination of disease throughout the body.

"Of course the grower, in the
face OF a steadily hardening mark
ct in London, and reports OF an
excellent general business and
higher wool market values in Aus
tralia, eau hardly be blamed for
trying to secure ss high prices as
he obtained last year, but the
latter, it is contended, were higher
than were warranted at that time
or any time since then, which has
been proved by the fact that in
many cases the woods were parted
with finally by the wool merchant
at a positive loss; and if the wools
are to pass from growers hands at
the same prices as were realized
by them year ago, the domestic
wool merchant sees nothing else

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrf Remedy, or a
Tonic. or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna ca
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have 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
en- the circulation, to give toneto the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy In the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRAST1S
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA q
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
COLLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA 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, Peruna 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-grounded the
CRY the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.
