THE DRUG FlEND.
Hasheesh Makes Its Slave Utterly
Useless For Any Service.

One of the drugs that are most strik-
ing in their effects is hasheesh, or
Cannabis indica, largely taken in Asiat-
&c countries. where | used myself to
meet fits votaries. Its chief popularity
Is TO make one believe with all his
might whatever is suggested to him.
If he is an Arab. tell him that he Is
a sultan. and straightaway he orders
heads to be cut Off. Tell him he Is
rooster, and he win crow. knew Of
two Americans who experimental on
themselves. and when the first was
told that he was like locomotive he
snorted and whistled and kept going
round the table putting and blowing
until he dropped from sheer fatigue.
The other somehow conceived the
idea that he was dead and forthwith
gave elaborate directions for his own
funeral till he waxed wroth at the
unseemly mirth of his companions
when they should have wept.
Hasheesh makes its slave utterly
useless for any service. and so with
the other drugs. Their victims one
and all end in becoming do-nothings.
Self made do-nothings, or those who
are so by drug taking, are much worse
than useless.
AS they usually do not begin till as
adults they reach the working period
of life they become wretched burdens
on the real workers. since our social
system lacks any constitutional enact

nifty of bees. the workers systematical-
ly put their drones to death.
The opium tiend from long living in
an unreal world becomes transformed
into the most all round liar In the

MFRS. EARNEST HOCHMUTH, 17OI
1V1 Maple st., Des Moines, Iowa,
writes: 1.-TWO years ago our little boy,
herman, was taken down with scarlet
fever. He took cold with it, and in
stead Of the eruptions coming to the
surface they affected his lungs and
stomach. For weeks we watched by
his bedside, hardly expecting him to
live from one hour to the next.
"Finally he became little better and
was able TO sit up. Then he commenced
to cough, and in spite of everything we
could do he seemed to get worse all the
time. His coughing spells would last
until he was completely exhausted, and
his lungs hurt him q great deal. Every
body thought he had consumption.
"one day, while at the drug store, my
husband saw q Peruna almanac and
brought 1t home. We read in 1t per-
feet description Of his case and we
thought we would try PerunR. We
bought q bottle, quit everything else,
and began giving him Pernna.
"By the time two-t thirds Of the bottle
was used the cough had almost gone.
After he had taken two bottles he was
perfectly cured. He has not seen q sick
day since and is hearty, healthy boy.
eve shall always praise Pernns, for
It saved our boys life"
