l nave received letter from a lady
asks me: rs the old Pe-ru-ua (Xa-
tar-no) better than the revised Peru
na.?"
Either medicine has it's place. One
is adapted for one condition another
FOR another. Katar-no is a better
remedy for some conditions than the
revised Pe-ru-na. On the other hand
the revised Pe-ru-na is better remedy
for some conditions than Ka-tar-no
They are both intended as catarrh
remedies. They have both done a
great work in relieving catarrh, chro
mic or acute. Many hundreds of cases
OF chronic catarrh hava recovered
While taking Ka-tarno and the same
is true of the revised Pe-ru-na during
the last six years since its revision.
There is difference, however. in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constitution then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed. where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar
no) is the better remedy.
The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale at
all drug stores, Those wishing to Oh
toin Ka-tar-no address The Ka-t -tar-no

HUMAN Wife IS
GREATEST Of
ALL ASSETS
Associated Press.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct BE Il.
Rittcnhousc OF New York, speaking
before the national conservation con-
grcSs here today on the subject of
human Life as a National Asset,
declared that the conservation of hui
man life should be the paramount
issue Of the American people. Nj,
RIttenhousc said in part:
The first item in humanitys bill
OF rights is the right TO live. To
protect human life from needless de-
sJruttion is the primary purpose OF
organized society.
I'VE arc not only reducing the fer
Iility OF our race and alsO suortonlnG
the span OF lie, but VIC are permit
tag at least 100000 American lives
to be destroyed annuany winch we
uoutd save by the appncation of sim
ptc and wcll known sanitary and 9TH
er precautions.
This is our real race suicide prob
en-.
We have made progress in pre-
.cnting lite waste, but II has been
:ununed almost wuouy to contagious
u infectious diseases At the same
lime, the death rate from the dcEuu-
cIativc diseases of middle life and cid
age against which we have wagel no
war, has steadily increased
we arc still burning tho candle
,uriougIy at both euds-siOwur at
JuG and faster at the other.
We may felictate ourselves upon
all of our past achievements, and at
the same time recognize the excessive
life waste that is still going on, and
also recognize that evidences are null
tlplyinE of race deterioration and OF
.fVV.f
and saCrodness Of human life.
These conditions Will not be ar
rested automatically, The problem
will not solve itself Tho people
alone can check this continuing
waste of national efficiency and vi
tality. Greater efforts must be made
to impress them with the facts and
, to arouse them to moro effective ac-
ton.
The economic loss is stupendou5,
but il is Insignificant compared to
the misery, suffering, poverty. I'M
morality and crime which result from
the needless sickness and premature
death from which the nation Is now
suffering.
The public health service, local
and national, must lead in this lie
saving work
1t is the primary function OF the
government to protect the lives OF
the people from needless destruction;
but it takes money to educate the
public and 20 run health depart
meuts.
IN tho last analysis, the war
against preyontable disease 10
struggle between the dollar aud the
death rate
Most OF our communities prefer "a
high death rate to u slight increase
In the tax rate.

/ nancsd health department IL the
