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 weIl-informed people.
One thing more. When q person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
keredity, 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-
Yangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in as mouth, then blows on it
for the eng effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwfsely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet If
q palliative Is at hand the pains of indi-
gestion can be nit1gated, the throes of
dyspepsia sssuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruns, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform it's function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
auids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It will increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
It 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 Iszily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation 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 is very apt to produce rheum-
atism.
It is not claimed THAI Feruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correcs living. But it is
claimed that Peruns will assist n badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

whom were full. There was spill.

was a broken clay pipe carried in the
vest pocket of an East Moline plumb

wheel. 1t was fattened by hitting
bum dollar at the corner of Fifteenth
street and Fourth avenue. The car
is out of the repair shops, equipped
with new wheel and a fresh coat Of

handed the message to Mr.. McHugh
on his return. He has preserved the

was joking with me or not, but had
no reason 10 dispute what he told me.
When day broke and looked my berth
over at first glance | supposed l had
gotten in the wrong pew, for, believe
me, there were things there that did
not belong to me. The fellow in the
berth on the other side just then
shouted over to me to ask if l had not
switched during the night. l felt diff
ferently about it, but l could not con-
vince him that there had not been a
transfer. / protested that l held 20
my place during the whole trip. He
said he remembered that he dreamt
he was awaiting, and after looking
over his berth, he was convinced that
he switched with me. He was one of
those fellows who carry pie with
them. Well, the pie was in my berth
1t was an apple. 1t got over the aisle

When we reached home the porter
told me there was one passenger
whom he had been unable to find. He
showed me his clothes and shoes. He
was serious. too. The porter went 20
the berth the passenger was assigned
to. He wasn't there. We investigated
further, and we found him in a berth
on the other side of the aisle. We
awakened him, and the first thing he
asked was if the Wright boys were
up yet. When he fully came to he
said that he owed the Rock Island
road more money. He bought a ticket
to ride on an ordinary train. he
thought. IF riding the air has got
anything on that trip l had last

me. If you go back as fast as you

of the business in hand was made

she was willing, but after some hes
