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 person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliatc
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-
engagements This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
She fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
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 unwiscly. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
palliative is at hand the pains of indi-
gestion can be mitigatcd, the throes of
dyspepsia 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
30 perform its function properly. PERU
ma will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. twill 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
G. 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 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.
tits not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But it is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.
switzerlsnd's Method of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization,


In Switzerland the state is part own
er of horses used by reserves. 1t DUR
chases a remount at three and a half
years old, and the soldier pays half
the cost of the horse to the govern
ment, together with the difference be-
tween its cost and the price that the
horse fetches at auction, for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year of training the gov
eminent refunds one-tenth of the orig
hal half cost to the man. and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier is not only
always well mounted. but as he keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is of the simplest
nature.
The average price of these Swiss
troop horses Is about E45, says Baily's
Magazine, and as most of these horses
are imported from Ireland and north
Germany their price is considerably
higher than it would be in Great Brit
ain. Thus the state secures the serv-
ices of a horse for an annual outlay
of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed In this estimate, such as the cost of
the establishment for remount depots,
etc, which raises the total cost of
horses for the Swiss government to
about f8 12s. year.

If 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 everything would be
right. But as said before there are
multitude of people who will not or cam
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Pcruna is n boon. A dose
before meals VIII assist the stomach 10
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, reruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those, who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Pcruna 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 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, 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 n disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is a 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 TO medicine at
ali 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 a handy remedy to
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 to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.

solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con-
corning it. If so, address the Peruna

The Art of OXerIookinq.

Nobody can live long in the world

of truth. He is of course a fool who

a fool is he who does not overlook past
costs. If we have any good or de-

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edged With bitches.

The Chinese road is private prop
erty, a strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will of the owner, since he not only
loses the use of it, but also still has to
pay taxes on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle. and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms In the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road a thousand years old be-
comes a river
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge of their
farms instead of cutting across them,
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to go a considerable
distance to reach a place that is In re-
atty but few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.
