TALLULAR FALLS TO Be
SAVED BY UNCLE sam
Weeks Bill viii Save Gem
OF Nature

Washington, May 1.-THE L. S. De-
partment of agriculture has already
begun operations looking to the pur-
chase of land by the National Fores!
Reservation Commission created under
the Weeks bill This is of particu-
lar interest to the state of Georgia, as
parts of Rabun, Habersham and White
counties are included in the areas with
in which offers of land are desired.
The department has issued circular
giving detailed information. and Secre-
tary Wilson warns those wishing to
offer land that they should first secure
this circular in order to see whether
their holdings fall within the more de-
tailed areas indicated.
1t is especially gratifying to the res
idents of Habersham county and to
the entire state of Georgia that in all
probability Tallulah Falls, which pre-
sents the most magnificent natural
scenery in the state, if not in the en-
tire South, will come within the indi-
Gated area in Habersham county, ana
that this garden spot of the South will
be preserved to the people as nation
al park.
| In spite of the most vigorous pro-
tests of the people of the state, an at
, tempt has been made to harness these
falls for commercial purposes, thereby
destroying their wonderful scenic bead
ty. In view of the fact that the state
of Georgia is abundantly supplied with
water power sites for commercial pur-
poses, there being 100000 HIP. capa,
BILE of such development, it would seem
that an attempt to destroy the beauty
of Tallulah Falls to generate 5000
HIP, which is the total amount of
water available there, according to
government reports. would be nothing
short of vandalism. '~"s3

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

I II a 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 can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Pcruna 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, Peruna Is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but 1t 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, 1t 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. 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 no medicine at
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 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.
Wouldn't you like to read few I'M
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
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus,
Ohio, and we will send some prepaid.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-03-10

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would DO no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informcd people.
One thing more. When a 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 palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
tcines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. 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 mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine cam
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
to 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.
It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
ore SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
q 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 iazily. 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-
stism.
It is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correct living. But 1t is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
abused stomach to perform its work.
