Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can 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-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
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 body 10 right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
tcine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger In
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows IL very well. But 1t 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 II
q palliative is at hand the pains OF indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
mot 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
ma will increase tho flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. twill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
=. Is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are 30 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 undigested for some
time after IL Is swallowed. This leads
70 fermen tation of the food. Sour stom'
ach Is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products OF fermentation. This
condition 10 very apt to produce rheum'
Atism.
Isis not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
Atism but correct living. But 1t Is
claimed that Peruna will assist n badly
abused stomach TO .pt rform Its work.

Tales OF Cities.

Venice has become, next to Genoa,
the principal Italian port.
Venice is built ON 1lS small islands,
connected by 37S bridges: Amsterdam
on nearly 100 islands. connected by al-
most 800 bridges. Ghent stands on
20 islands, joined by 270 bridges.
Previous to Jan. I, 1909, there were

II person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, tho blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and erything 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 a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach 10
do its work. This prevents fermenSa-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train OF ills tnsi
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful 20
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 load, but judi
ciously used tt 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, 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 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, PerIns
find 1t of untold value. BY and by the
world will get wise enough SO that
through correct living no medicine al
all will be needed. But that time hai
not arrived. In the meantime, willis
the world is approaching that perfec
ton in which all medicine will be elm.
mated, Peruna is handy remedy t
have in the house.
Slight arrangements Of tho stomach
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead tc
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the Judicious use of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read few an

to confirm tho above statements con
cerning it. II SO, address the Peruni

The call issued for a meeting Saturday for
the purpose of organizing an anti-horse
thief association was responded TO by hun
dreds of farmers and business men, and
a rousing old meeting was the result After
much discussion 1t was discovered that the
thieving going on over the country was not
confined/alone to the taking of horses, but
that 1t covered almost every possible thing
of value, including cattle, chickens, harness,
bicycles, corn, hay, etc. Taking into con-
sideration these conditions, It was thought
best to perfect an organization which
would be sort of vigilance committee
or good government committee.
w. a. Huff was chosen chairman of THE
temporary Organization and Mayor e.
Bossemeyer, jr., secretary. Committees
were appointed and work of securing new
members began with the result that nearly
100 names have been enrolled as charter
members. 1t is the intention of those in
terested to make 1t a county and an inter-
state association, as Jewell county is ad-
joining on the south and the farmers all
work together.
