Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be Obliged to admit without
reserve hat the medicinal herbs com
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonic remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years.
experience by physicians Of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed Of
some of the most eficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure OF some phase of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is n of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or evme other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature Of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

NEW FOR JAPAN.
Anarchists Treat Toxic to a Euro.
pean Sensation.


The Japanese, who are learning
more about the joys of civilization ev.
cry day, have just acquired something
brand new from Europe in the way
Of %Japanned anarchists. The first
demonstration of anarchists ever held
in the streets of Toxic was promptly
made the occasion for a general fight
one day last month.
1t seems that Yamaguchi CLIO, the
original Japanese convert 70 the
creed, had just been released from
prison after serving a term for sedi-
ton, that being the Interpretation
given anarchism by Japanese law.
Seventy-odd of Mr.. Gizo's disciples
In Toxic planned to give him a sym
pathy demonstration.
They hired a hall and planned a
parade. The parade started, headed
by blood red banners inscribed in
Japanese ideographs with "Revolu-
ton Death to Rulers" and kindred
sentiments. A Japanese band, which
is in itself an inspiration to anarchy,
headed the procession.
Hardly had it proceeded a block
when the busy little Japanese polio =
men swarmed from the police boes on
every hand and started in to break
up the parade. A fight ensued. The
anarchists, being ~unprovided with
bombs, used the ready Japanese
weapon for close quarters, the wood.
en- clog, and the policemen drew their
swords. considerable blood was shed
before the policemen succeeded in
gathering in fifteen of the anarchists
four Of whom were very active young
women.
The Japanese who viewed the fight
as spectators seemed to sympathize
with the anarchists. even though they
did not know what anarchy meant.
A policeman in Japan is no more
popular than in any other land, and
the shoshi, or organized roughs of tn
Toxic slums, are always ready To
jump the little defenders of the law,
whether under a red flag or the in,
spiration of too much sake.

SELF DELUSION
Many People Deceived by Coffee.

whisky is good for him on a cold morn

It's the same with coffee. Thousands
