Catarrh Of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.


If the truth were known, the proba-
as many cases of catarrh of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis-
tence. We have great many unsolic-
tied testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en-
tirely relieved them of catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, If you have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the Juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As chronic gastritis (catarrh Of the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or cstarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles habby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
''The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is COM
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri-
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom.
ach frequent and persistent.
"Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked"
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions DR.. Hartman is receiving
: from patients all over the United States.
If you have any of these symptoms
Q get bottle of Peruna. Take dose be-
d fore each meal. See If your stomach
does not Immediately feel better, your
f appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
8 People who object to liquid medicines
can now secure Peruna tablets.

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummies.

Nature Sometimes Makes MummIes.
Natural mummiication, the chang
ing of the human body into a dried
condition without artificial treatment.
is an extremely rare phenomenon. In
a case reported by Hon. S. Wolffsohn
of British Honduras, middle aged
cody who disappeared between Jan
uary and March, 1907 was found more
than a year afterward, on May 6, 1908,
in corrugated iron hut as a perfect
~ preserved mummy. The hut, In a
somewhat isolated spot at Sibun. was
raised on blocks four or five feet above
the ground and had door and three
shutters. one shutter being open, while
one had fallen out The body was
clothed In a cotton underskirt, dark
jersey and duck trousers, two pieces
of rope around the neck proving self
stranguation. The desiccation seem
ed to have been favored by combna-
ton Of conditions, the season having
been extraordinarily dry and the small
iron house excessively hot, though we'll
ventilated, while the body was thin
and attenuated as result Of mental
disorder.

Very Misleading.

Battersby came across this interest
Ing item in the household department:
IF men would answer their wives
kindly and courteously when asked
for money it is. undoubtedly true that
the amount requested would not be
half as much as it would be if the
husbands reply was surly and antag-
oniStic."
Battersby read this item over twice
to make sure he grasped its meaning,
and just then his wife entered the
room.
George" she said, II want some
money"
Battersby smiled affably.
Yes. my dear" he pleasantly re-
marked, land how much do you
want?"
Mrs. Battersby stared at him in
Amusement.
81 said | wanted some money"
This time she spoke with much dis
tinctness.
And asked you how much you
wanted" Battersby merrily reminded
her.
Fifty dollars" she snapped.
Battersby almost tainted. He had
imagined she was after S. and that
his genial tone would cut the amount
to $3.50.
But he handed over the fifty with
out further ado--and then tore the
misleading item into in6nitesimal
agments.-Ceveland Plain Dealer.

Think a Little of His Rights when
You're Travelling.
The girl in the room had been tell
ing how to secure personal comfort
while travelling on train. Then the
man looked up, smiled little shyly as
he caught the maiden's eyes and said;
81 don't mean to be personal-of
rourse not. But don't you think it is
very travellers duty to think a little
about how to make other people COM
fOrtable?"
And then he told story of a perfect
girl traveller whose exquisite breeding
while on the train had made an indeli-
BILE impression on his mind.
To be remembered so sweetly by
your accidental train neighbor that
every thought of you is an ever fresh
delight or to be recalled as the living
type of feminine selfshness and bad
taste is a question. Which sha!.. you
choose? For. alas though often per-
fectly bred women are met with on
railway trains. my sex is not always
renowned for its thought of Others
when en- voyage.
So let us start upon our summer va
cation travels With the idea that we
will think a little of 1.-THE other fell
lows" comfort.
And now let me say word or two
to the girl travelling alone for the first
time.
When you enter crowded day
coach look first for seat next to
somebody of your own sex. Maiden
modesty requires this. and everybody
In the car makes a note of any viola
ton Of the accepted rule. If you have
the good luck 10 obtain seat all to
yourself put your wraps and packages
In the coat rack above you. for as you
, have not paid for the vacant seat be-
side you it is an oct Of selfshness to
make use of 1t for your traps. 1t Is
your duty to look up pleasantly at the
first person who inquiries If the seat
is taken and say no.

BILE. as the continual presence of the
porter is n itself protection. OF
course the porter will expect tip for
his services. but if girl makes no
great demands upon his time ta Is

Generally 1t is sheer carelessness or
the sudden sense of unaccustomed
freedom which impel girls alone to be-
have inderorously when travelling. But
the actual train nuisance is vigorous
