Combat With Dirt-Tubercu-
IOsis Patients Number 3S.

The Provident Association is, next TIC
a newspaper office, the busiest place in
town. Cases that require the utmost
tact concentration, and effort are con-
stantly occurring, day after day; the
nurses are exposed to danger and dis
ease They are unable to do as much
as they have to do, and .innumerable
paupers demand that they do more.
One of the most battling cases that
has ever been considered is now under
the direction of Miss Mary r. Vosa.
1t conf ines the pathetic and the ride
uIous; its climax was reached Which,,
as heretofore reported, two painfully
dirty youngsters presented themselves
at the door of the association and
pipea in concert:
Here we are; we mustn't be beat
and we mustn't be bathed.''
Both parents said Miss Vose, in
reporting the affair, ''are feeble-min6-

into methods of light housekeeping.

say that one-haf of the young

stipation.
Now l wish to say that Peruna will

it takes away the offending poison

blotches, spots on the skin, rough

like. I make no apology and have no
hesitation in saying to the public that
Peruna taken according to directions
on the bottle will do more towards
identifying the complexions of our
young ladies than all the applications
that can be made to the skin. All the
facial massage and treatments that
have ever been invented never will do
these cases SO much good as Peruna,
except some other medicine which is
made similar lines.

only medicine that will prevent alb

But | do claim that it is one of the
medicines that will do this-a reliable
one-an old and trusted one-one that
has stood the test of years-one that
is lauded by thousands of people who
have tried it.
So then, young ladies, if you want
clear skins, free from pimples, take
Peruna. This is the advice of an old,
experienced physicians who admires
young ladies in a fatherly way, who is

Ject has brought me shower of let
ters from young ladies. 1 had no
idea there were so many young ladies
afflicted in this way. In spite of all
the advertised remedies for pimples,
and lauded preparations to produce
clear skin and splendid complexion,
in spite of all this, it seems there are
a large number of young ladies who
are haggardly anxious about their
complexions. ] thought perhaps a
short talk from me ON this subject
might be a good thing.
OF course l will be suspected of
wishing only to sell my medicine, and
to recommend Peruna for such cases.
In spite of this, however, I am going
to recommend Peruna for pimples and
blackheads. Let me tell you why.
The bowels when they are healthy
contain no poisonous material Long
before the poiSCns can generate the
contents of the bowels are DISCHARGED
provided they are in ordinary activity
But constipation will dam up the con-
tents of the bowels and retain them
so long that they decompose and fur
nish poisonous gas and fluids These
poisons are absorbed by the blood
vessels in the bowels and taken into
the system. The result is pimples and
blackheads and other disfigurements
of the complexion. Young ladies
are especially subject to constipa-
ton. L think 1 should not be
