Meeting Eyebrows.

The person whose eyebrows meet may rest content in the knowledge that he is the possessor of a vigorous con- stitution. The growth of hair above the nose is, as a rule, a fairly sound proof of good health. That is what the scientists tell you, but the superstitious have much more to say.
 hn the northern part of Aberdeen shire there is common belief that a "close broo't" man, or one whose eye brows meet, is foredoomed to end a wicked career on the scaffold. This may be compared with the view held in parts of the English midlands that the close browed person is destined for fame and fortune.
 On the continent there are several superstitions on this subject The eye brows of gypsies are often formed in this way, fact which they turn to good account, for in many parts it is believed that the owner of meeting eyebrows is also the possessor of what is called the evil eye and therefore a person whose good will Eust at all costs be retained. The gypsies, espe- cially in Germany and Austria, use this belief to extract considerable sums of money from the credulous peas ants.-London Chronicle.

US. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained In Pe.ru.na,


Contained In Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chr<nic catarrh? Have we
abundant proofthat Peruna is in real.
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let US see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
ofthis herbalremedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment Of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh Of the stomach chronic intesti.
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice lea.
tarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. It is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis.
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory.
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
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 a bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dyson.
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. Itacts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract It acts as a
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases Of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to US for free book of testi-
monials of what the people think of
Peruna as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.
