Peruna Is an ideal tonic for old

remedies that has been known to the
medical profession for many years.
Peruna operates as tonic by cleans

steam railroads was in its inciplent
stage and a club of young men had
been formed for the purpose OF DIS

sired the use of the schoolhouse for
purposes of debate. This was looked
upon by the members OF the board as
an innovation bordering upon sac

1t reads as follows:
"You are welcome to the use OF the

rank infidelity. There is nothing In
the Word of God about them. II God
