The fight against consumption is be-
coming national problem.
Everywhere we hear of santtartums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army OF
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession genei ally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment OF con-
sumption in all of Its stages.
DR.. Hartman has for many years adj
vocated the fresh air treatment for con-
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Pcruna as useful palliative

which accompany the white plague.

The Huntington Dispatch views the
"favorite son" Stiffness much in the
same light that the West virginian
has expressed. The Dispatch says:
"The Fairmont West Virginian
seems to have but little sympathy for
the "favorite son" practice which has
been so much in vogue in recent years.
And the West virginian is right. West
virginians who are big enough to come
under this heading are plenty big
enough to get along without any such
hollow compliment"

But the value of Peruna in the treat

Since 1T is well known that consump-

tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as a preventive of consumption.
Thousands of cases of incipient con-

safe and reliable remedy for these all
