farmer of Welpipquin, Md. has had

ed Rn ideal piece of land, with the in
tention of erecting a mansion thereon

notorious and he was deluged with
tempting offers from every state
He then decided to defer the antici
pated honeymoon and visit some of
the would-be brides Since that time
Furbush. accompanied by his two
daughters and son. has called on
more than 100 women in different
states, but has not yet made a selec
tion.

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

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would bo no
rse for medicine. Every doctor knows
tails. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. when a person lives
tTrongly, 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 palliatc
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 do
-angements. This is the most that med
4cine can do.
a man accidentally puts his finger in
She fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This Is no cure.
He knows it very well. 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
palliative is at hand the pains OF fndi-
Eestion can be mitigated, the throcs OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. II simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is n cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate tho stomach h
90 perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase the flow OF digestive
fluids, without which digestion caunot
he carried on at all. Itwill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
IL is admitted chat all this can be
accomplished by right living. hut there
are 80 many people who either viii not
Cr do not know how 10 cat correctly that
q tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
4 stomach that has been frequently
soused performs the function OF digcs-
tion very lazily. Such 4 stomach allows
the food 10 remain undigcsted for some
time after IL IL swallowed. This leads
20 fermentation OF the food. Sour stom-
ach Is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the biovd IS poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt 20 produce rheum-
stism.
tits not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rhcum-
stism but correct living. But it Is
claimed that Peruna will assist badIy
