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

:, neople were born right and after
-..ds lived right, there would be no
for medicine. Every doctor knows
.s;, so do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
.usonglv. or acquires bodily weakness by
saredity. medicine can do only very
ntt,a. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
aharlatans claim that medicines will
Mo disease. Medicines may palliate
srr,ntoms. Medicines may urge the
rowers of Nature to resist disease. Med
;o;nes sometimes arouse the efforts of tho
human body to right itself against de-
-.ncements. This is the most that med
,cine can do.
4 man accidentally puts his finger in
.he fire. Instinctively he vets bis
anger in his mouth, then blows on it
~ the cooling effect. This is no cure.
M knows it very well. But 1t makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dvsnepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
palliative is at hand the pains of indi-
cestion can be mitigated, the throes of
dvsnepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
epre must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is q care for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
Auids. without which digestion cannot
he carried on at all. twill increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
IT ia 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 thai
tremendous amount of good can bt
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of dises
ton very tally. 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 weei
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
tits not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But 1T i
.laimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

President of Central Association Has
Returned Home From Chicago
and Speaks Freely of
the Outlook.
LOOKS TO NO CHANGES
is Of the Opinion That Quincy viii

Be Given Another Year in
Which to Make Good.

President M. e. Justice, the con-
sentative head of the Central Asso-
citation, has returned home from the
Chicago meeting of the league conf
dent in his opinion that the coming
year will bring no changes in the cir
cults makeup. Incidentally he gives
in brief interview few side lights
on the meeting which are of interest.
Il am confident he said, that
Quincy will not be released By the
Central Association. Thia
based on the expressions made by
magnates, who seem unanimous in re.

for it. Without Quincy the league

river. was in conversation with one
of the Influential Three-Eye league
magnates and from his conversation
came to the conclusion that there is
little chance of Quincy securing a
berth in the higher organization next
year. Waterloo will stick-that is
positively assured.
"As to Monmouth and Galesburg
cannot definitely say. Muscatine is
Favored, but Monmouth will have
Sunday ball and really the past year
hardly furnishes an illustration OF
what the city can do. Monmouth las
a right to protest against being held
to it's attendance guarantee for the
reason that all of the other clubs
with the exception of Quincy and OF
tumwa. fell far short of the pre-
yious year.
"The election of W. H. Davidson o

me as much satisfaction as anything
that TRANSFERRED at the meeting, and

III 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 every thing 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 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, Pcruna 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 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 which he could not have pulled tho
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys.
TEN. 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 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 Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine q.
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 ts

may have bequeathed to him some of the ele-
ments of his genius. His father, FIorentine
banker and merchant. is said to have been dis
tinguished by excellence of manners" but
there is no evidence to indicate that Boccaccio
owed him any of his literary gifts. On the con-
trary, the elder Boccaccio would seem to have
had hardly any patience with the lads sharp
predilection for the things of the nina ana
sought to turn him at an early age into his own
sordd path. "If my father had dealt wisety
with me-" Boccaccio wrote long afterwards. L
might have been among the great poets But ne
forced me in vain to give my mind to money
making and to such a paying thing as the canon
law I became neither a man OF AFFAIRS nor
canonist and lost all chance of succeeding In
poetry" 1t may be remarked in passing that
his father was really in no wise responsible FOR
his failure to achieve the highest distinction IN
poetry. Petrarch, it is true, was more than
amiable about his verses. but that may be set
down TO the kindlness of friend. He fell snort
of the great goal not because of parental cruelty
New-York tribune., 1910-01-16

but because the earthly streak in him was inim
ical to the growth of q pure poetic passion.
Then. to put it in another way. it SO happened
that his genius for prose.
1t is not a matter of style alone that is here
approached. The point bears upon the whole
drift of Boccaccio's nature. Like Petrarch he
had a zest for life, but he savored it with less
imaginative delicacy. less nobility of soul than
you recognize in the attitude of his equally in
quisitive contemporary. Mr.. Hutton. comparing
the two. easily enough finds more of the Puri-
tan in Petrarch than in Boccacco. The 6istinc-
ton might be pressed still further. leaving
Petrarch with a diviner insight, a grander mould
of thought. The present biographer Justly OBJ
serves that as a creative artist Boccaccio Is the
master OF a world Petrarch could not enter and
we may sympathize, too with Mr. Huttons re-
gret that the author of the "Decameron' was
iured to emulate his master in fields of scholar
ship to the cultivation of which he was only half
adapted. But the important thing to keep in
mind is just the rough human substance in
which Boccaccio worked. the intimate contact
with mankind which inevitably turned him into
q novelist and humorist rather than a poet The
youthful Petrarch is obviously destined to dwell
amongst his books. for all that he mada co

This volume is. indeed very welcome, for its
subject has not hitherto been treated in Eng
lish with the same fulness. Symonds's short
essay, published in 1895, is still worth reading,
but it left ample room for the production or the
present study. Mr.. Hutton makes good use Of
the few unmpeachabe facts that are available,
he is plausbly suggestive-though not quite con-
vincing-in his more speculative pages, his ap-
pendices contain interesting matter. and. for
his illustrations. he gives not only the ira
ditional portraits but many of the plates that
have appeared in old editions of Boccaccio. The
occasional too precious" passages in which he
indulges easily to be forgiven for the sake
of generally readable and useful narrative.
Perhaps the best saying which Mr. Hutton
has to offer is which relates to his hero's
temperament and habit of mnd-"A nature like
that of Boccaccio was capable only Of enthu-
siasm.' That it was that reared him up to be
the fit friend and collaboration of Petrarch in
the fertilization of Italian culture leading to the
Renaissance. The little that we know about
we know little enough-is ample to
show that he was of those spirits born to
humanistic activity By all the laws of hered-
ity. it is true, he ought never to have developed
a love of letters. he ought never to have known
the artistic impulse. Possibly the obscure

THE QUESTION.

EY WILLIAM DVWNINN'
uwu Dickens lyee" So men do ask to-day
OF the historian of humanity:
Bographer of poor mems misery.
And all their hopes and joys and laughter gay.
hVilI Dickens live? The man who could portray
The very spirit of young Jollity
Reveal the sadness meath all devilry
Who knew the child heart none other may ,
When no more sighs are heaved for little Nell
When Pickwicks name has lost it's magic
charm,
When love is dead in Dolly Vardens eye,
When Dayid's grief no longer casts spell.
When Cartons chivalry is changed to haInl'
When crickets sing nOt-then will Dickens Ole.
