He Drove on the Walk.
W. G.. Newman.

w. G.. Newman. made himself
unnecessarily conspicuous early
Sunday morning, in a manner
which would have probably sub
jected some very "lowly" citizen,
or "nigger," to a term on the
chain gang. He had driven into
town from Gold Hill, with his
wife, and being anxious to know
how the trains were running, he
drove down the cement walk IN
front of the depot, to where he
cold see the bulletin board. 1t is
stated that Officer Williams, who
was on duty, went after the often
der and induced him to put up a
500 bond.
Mr.. ~Newman's time is so valua.
BILE that he could not afford to
waste any precious moments walk
ing down to the bulletin board
as common, everyday folks must
do, or take the consequences. 1t
certainly was a great stunt.

Brakeman Killed 10 Greensboro.

). w. Num-, a young man en-
ploy+d as a yard brakeman for the
Southern Railway here, was fatal
~ injured while coupling cars last
evening about 7:30 O'Clock, dying
three hours later at St. Leo's Hos
pital.
The passenger train from Raj
eigh, which arrives at 7:15 p. NJ,
carries a Pullman car, which is
transferred to southbound train
No. 43, and it was part of Nunn's
work to assist in making this
transfer. No one saw the accident,
and just how 1t occurred will never
be known. The young man was
found staggering around near the
Davie street,crossing, Yardmaster
Patterson taking him to the yard
Office. A physician was hastily
summoned and the young man
was taken to the hospital. An
examination showed that his lungs
we're crushed and the attending
physician was surprised that death
was not instantaneous.
Nunn's home was at Rock Hill,
S. G, and his remains will be tax

member of Tarheel Lodge. No.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

If people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When a person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
lcines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in q mouth, then blows on it
for the C, -ng effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very we'll. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
apalliative is at hand the pains of indi-
60o v d. D0 dtCo, LIZ u1lloCo VI
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It will increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
q tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function Of diges-
ton very lazily. Such a stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom-
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum-
atism.
It is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correct living. But 1t is
claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

they are really charcoals in the

the Confederate government had
stored a lot of wheat which had
been taken as taxes, and when
Sherman's army passed that sec
ton this store was burned. A

If a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude of people who will not or cam
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about a cure.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull a load, but judi
clously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the N roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi-
tute medicine in the place of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by tho
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec-
ton in which all medicine will be elm
mated, Peruna is a handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight arrangements of the stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs OR bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read a few I'M
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con-
corning it. If SO, address the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus.
