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

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informcd people.
One thing more. When q person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
beredity, 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
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
fcine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets his
finger. liz - !, mouth, then blows on 1t
for the G ng effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But it makes 1t
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet il
q palliative is at hand the pains of indi'
gestion can be mitigated, the throes Oh
dyspepsia assuaSed. 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 canno
be carried on a. ell. twill increase thu
relish of food, the appetite.
It is admitted that all this can b.
accomplished by right living, but Their
are so many people who either will no
or do not know how to eat correctly tina
q tremendous amount of good can D.
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has boon frequentl.
abused performs the function of diges
ton very Iazily. Such stomach allow
the food to remain undigested for som
time after IL is swallowed. This lead
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is the result. This goes on weel
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. Thi
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
tits not claimed that Peruna will cur
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But at Il
claimed that Peruna will assist badl.
ebused stomach to perform its work.

II 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
multitude of people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is 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, Pcruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, buyit assists the
powers of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
Of the horse to pull q load, but judi
ciously 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 en-. 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 sucfS an attempt will
prove a disaster. Butan occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruns
find it of untold value. By and by tn,
world will get wise enough so tina
through correct living no medicine a
all will be needed. But that time ha,
not arrived. In the meantime, Will,
the world is approaching that perfec
ton in which all medicine will be elm
mated, Peruna is o handy remedy t,
have in the house.
J Slight arrangements of tho stomach
slight catarrhal attacks Of the liver, tn,
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead Il
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.

temperance, fortitude. prudence and justice.
 Justice is that standard of boundary of right which enabled us to render unto every man his just due without distinction, and this was the invariable practice of Brother Baldwin. He was one to whom the burdened heart could pour out it's sorrows. one to whom this stress could prefer it's suit, one whose hand was guided by justice and whose heart was expanded by benevolence and mercy.
 His eventful life. distinguished for noble purity and exalted integrity de- mands more than a passing notice. To the young men of the community it is full of inspiration and earnest prom ise; and bids them initiate the lofty patriotism. high moral rectitude and generosity of purpose, which ever marked the life of him. who has so serenely gone to his lasting peace.
 As a citizen, he was full of fiber ality and enterprise All the noble qualities of head and heart were sig nally displayed in his life Liberal of work and means, impatient of repose, intense in action, he gave himself to the cause of humanity, especially as he saw it taught and exemplified in the institution of Masonry: which or der he loved dearly during his long Masonic life-yes. until released from the conflict of life to be crowned with victory and joy
 Brother Baldwin was born at Calais. in the state of Maine, on the 22d day s,f the declaration of independence-at that time there were. in round num- bers, only ten millions inhabitants in the United States. Cast your eye for a moment over the history of the country and comprehend. if you can, what has been accomplished since that time, in which he bore his share
 He married Miss Mary H. Hensley at Benecid, Cal, on the 29th day of April 1859. The anniversary of their golden wedding. therefor occurred on the 29th of April, 1906. They have given to the world two noble sons and four accom- plished daughters-all of whom are living, but widely scattered, owing to our economic system which separates so many families. The-fwo boys, John and Frank, in Texas, Olive and Mollie living in Oakland. Cal, Eva at Repub lie. in the state of Washington and Ella came here from Texas some five months ago, to be with her mother during her fathers illness. It is need less to add that this noble woman, one of the deepest read and best informed among ten thousand was fitting and true helpmeet to him bearing her share of burdens in the struggles of life in rearing and educating their children. They were of the true type of Amer ican pioneers, that class whose indus try and toll have converted a vast wilderness and the great American desert into a great empire of untold wealth and peaceful homes.

FUNERAL OF JOHN H. BALDWIN.

The funeral of John H. Baldwin was held at o'clock Sunday afternoon, April 18th. The services of the Ma sonic lodge, through Phoenix com mandery, attended as an escort. Past Grand Master Francis A. Shaw con ducted the services and at the cem- etery, in addition to the regular Ma sonic interment service, delivered the following oration:
 My friends the present occasion is one of an unusual coincidence. l met Brother Baldwin first inSOctober, 1851. We have been intimate friends ever since.
 He carried my petition into the Ma sonic lodge, December, 1855, and now it becomes my duty, at his request, to say the last solemn ceremonies over his remains.
 "One by one our friends pass away and we sigh for the touch of van ished hand and a voice that is no more"

 The tribute paid to his memory by this splendid funeral cortege demon strates the honorable position he held in the respect and love of his fellow of that high esteem and tender regard in which he was held by his brethren of the Mystic Tie; which no man can express, save in deeds of devotion and acts of love, consistent with and acceptable to the high ideals for which we necessarily labor-the brotherhood of man.
