Ar.,rnmcnt and nupkr,,ntcy.

What is the difference between an
assignment and bankruptcy? Can tic
person assigning name his own trus-
tee or, for instance. make Ills largest
creditor the assignee for tho benefit
OF the other creditors? Please an
swcr TO settle q dispute. surFOI.K.
When a man makes an assignment
he makes over" to another person or
to number of persons certain prop
erty which is held by him. When a
man goes into bankruptcy he signifies
that he is unable 10 meet his obligu-
tons. and requests the court To divide
his property among his several cred
itors. The man may prefer one cred
ltor to another in making an assign
ment, but in bankruptcy proceedings
all creditors generally stand upon tho
same footing, a special receiver is APP
pointed by the court. not by the in
dividual. In case OF assignment. the
creditors generally name an individ-
ual to supervise the assets.

Ravenna, Mich, June 10, 1908.
The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets, ]
have used about ten boxes in all.
- While was In Chicago my oldes.
daugbte was bothered with cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes 1t would go away,
and in the winter time it was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
That she had consumption, and the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
I spend so much money for different
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed to help her.
So saw the Peruna Tablets adver-
tsed in the paper, and 1 got a box
and tried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She would be up
all night and cough. So in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
l Will leave this for any one to in
quire at our old residence, where we
lived In Chicago. All our neighbors
would say that she could not live with
such cough. You don't know how
thankful 1 am. She is eighteen years
old.
My oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels so loose all the time. He was
all run down for four months. 1 also
doctored with him. One would saw this
and the other something else. started
in to give him the Tablets, and now he
Is all right and healthy looking. He
took four boxes. That is all he wants
to take whenever anything ails him.
So praise your Tablets just as high
as I have your Peruna. That is all
the medicine that ever comes in my
house. Whenever travel take some
with me. have had three of my chill
dren sick with scarlet fever two months
ago, and that is all L used, was the Pc
runa and the Tablets. 1 did not lose
any of them.
II there is any more information you
want. why just let me know and 1 will
be glad to do so. Yours truly,

follows: Gentlemen, gentlemen, sew
these ladies into their Sheets" Being
asked at dinner what fruit he would
have, he promptly replied, "Pigs,
fleas." This is the way in which DR..
Spooner proposed to his wife: Being
