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

IL a person would correct his habits,
persist N right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right titself, 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 can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is boon. A dose
before meals Will assist the stomach 70
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 10
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Pcruna does not cure, but it assists tho
powers OF Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
Of the horse to pull load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse TO
use his powers at the right time, with
out " hicb 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
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 such an attempt will
prove q disaster. But an occasional use
Of the right medicine at the right time
ia a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake 20 deny it.
Those who know how TO use Pcruna
find it Of untold value. BY and by the
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 q 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 10 lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use Of Pcruna.
Wouldn't you like to read few un-
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con-
cerning it. II go, address the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus,
Ohio. and we VII send some prepaid.

VOL.:XXV, NO. lO1.

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, thero would DO no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
thls. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
keredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
eharlatans 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 tody to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire.. Instincuvely he VETS bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling 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. Tho only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Nctit
palliative is at hand the pains Of indl-
gestion can be mitigated, the throcs Of
dvspcpsia 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 cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase the flow OF digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. will increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
1t 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
a 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 stomach allows
the food to remain undigcsted for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation Of the food. Sour stom-
aeh 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.
Itisnot claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
.tism but correct living. But 1t Is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

MELODRAMA AND TRAGEDY,

- The Niger has been called a melo-
drama. II is very hard to draw precisely
the distinction between melodrama and
tragedy. To most people any play is melo-
drama in which there is a pistol. Profess
sor George p. Baker, OF Harvard, has made
what seems TO me the most satisfactory
definition. 4 play qualities as a tragedy
when it moves toward a final outcome in
accordance with the inner intrinsic necessi-
ties OF the given characters and the given
situations-when the action and the catas-
trcphe are, as IL were, inevitable. A play
is z melodrama when the final outcome is
reached not 80 much through the develop
ment of character as by the interposition
Of some accident contrived from without
by the author. A very good iustrat ton
may be had in the case OF the great trage-
dies OF Shakespeare. These, as rule, are
at once Inelodramas and tragedies The
reason for this is that Shakespeare usually
worked on the basis Of some play already
in existence, and breathed into it his own
genius which was essentially the genius of
tragedy. Thus. Hamlet was originally q
rneIodrama of blood and revenge. the catas-
frophe Of which was reached by means of
the accidental exchange OF the poisoned
swords and the accidental draft Of the
