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

II 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 .
multitude Of people whoW will not or can
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 q 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 Peruns,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls
: forth the powers Of the human system
9 to meet the en- roachments OF disease,
and thus cuts short, il 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. Butan occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
y will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruni
'e find it of untold value. By and by thu
'e world will get wise enough so tina
through correct living no medicine a
1t all will be needed. But that time ha
% not arrived. In the meantime, Will
the world is approaching that porfeC
y ton in which all medicine will be elm
s. mated, Pcruna is a handy remedy
rs have in the house.
le Slight arrangements of tho stomach
Is slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, tn
n throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
* els; these attacks are sure to lead
ID grave diseases, and can be averted b
is the judicious use of Peruna.
n Wouldn't you like to read a few III
solicited testimonials from people VII
re have used Peruna, and who stand read
to confirm the above statements col
is corning it. II so, address the Perur
ly Drug Manufacturing Co.. Columbu
Ohio, and we viii send some prepaid.

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-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 toresist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
engagements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets hi:
finger in his mouth, then blows on Il
for the cooling effect. This is no cure
He knows it very well. But it makes i
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produce.
dyspepsia or indigestion. The onl!
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yeti
qualitative is at hand the pains OF ind
gestion can be mitigated, the throes o
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine car
not be said to have cured. 1t simpl
palliates disagreeable symptoms. Tn
sure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No on
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia
But Peruna will stimulate the stomac
to perform its function properly. PERI
/, ma will increase the flow Of digestiN
fluids, without which digestion caun'
be carried on 81 all. 1t will increase Il
5 relish Of food, the appetite.
It is admitted that all this can
g accomplished by right living, but the.
are so many people who either will n
! or do not know how to eat correctly tn
a tremendous amount of good can
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequent
n abused performs the function OF dige
ton very Iazily. Such a stomach alloy
the food to remain undigested for sor
time after it is swallowed. This lea
70 fermentation of the food. Sour stoI
ach is the result. This goes on We

with the products of fermentation. II

rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheu.
= atism but correct living. But 1t
claimed that Peruna will assist a bad
abused stomach to perform its work.

Old Button Laws

Our foreign visitors do not have to
examine their clothing as carefully as
they did in the eighteenth century,
when any person in England wearing
buttons made of cloth, serge. drugget
or frieze was liable to a penalty of
40s. This law may appear strange
and iniquitous." remarks an old French
writer but it is, on the contrary,
most humane and wise, since it pre-
vents the button makers being ruined
by sudden changes of fashion, and en-
courages the manufacture and export
of their wares. A foreigner wearing
a coat with cloth buttons made in his
own country is not fined when first
charged with this breach of the law.
He must, however, hasten to obtain
proper buttons, or he may be arrested
again on the following day" No Won
der Birmingham is anxious to revert
to observation-disclosures Chronicle.

Cetinje Prison

The prison at Cetinje, Montenegro,
has been described as surely the most
extraordinary one in existence. 1t pre-
sents little to indicate that it is a place
of confinement. there being apparently
nothing between the prisoners and ab-
solute liberty. There are no outer
prison walls, and in the cells the men
about eight or ten to each-are as con-
tentedly and comfortably housed as
their own personal domestic belongings
can make them. Moreover they are
generously fed, and cigarettes without
stint wine occasionally. and no work
at all. combine to check any desire
to escape more effectually than would
strong walls, iron bars and an army
criminals are pampered. political pris-
oners are treated la Russo with ex-
cessive severity.-London Globe.
