Alcohol i'm pe-ru-nd-
An Unjust Criticism
Yes, I suppose so"

Yes. suppose sog~
Tive per cent would be one-twen-
tieth. AS each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking a little
less than an ounce OF alcohol before
each meal
Yes"
But you objected to your mothers
she was taking far less alcohol than
you were. As 1 understand II, the
dose OF Peruna 10 one tablespoonful.
Surprising It to be twenty per cent al
oohol. there would be IN each dose one
NTH of q tablespoonful OF alcohol,
which would be about hah a teaspoon
full, while you were taking at least four
teaspoonfuls OF alcohol IN your bottle
OF beer. And yet you objected to your
mothers taking Peruna on the ground
that the Peruna contains alcohol. In
my opinion It was the alcohol that
cured both OF you Your mother evil
oently was cured OF a very serious all
ment- Peruna contains alcohol It
was undoubtedly the alcohol that cured
her, or at least helped to. The other
ingredients Of Peruna might have as
sisted, no doubt did In your case it
was the alcohol In the beer that cured
you OF the stomach dtfficulty. Peruna
has cured thousands Of such cases"
We'll I declare" he replied, IT never
thought OF II IN that way before. There
has been so much said about alcohol
being poisonous that I suppose my
mind has been pretudiced against it.
But II as you say there is also alcohol
In beer, the same kind Of alcohol as
Is used In Peruna, cannot see where
the difference Is myself"
WELL" I replied, you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman Is doing. You have al
lowed your mind to become prejud1ced
against PerIna on account OF it's con-
tanning alcohol. without stopping TO
look into the matter at all you have
assumed that there is something terri
bly, disreputabie about remedies con-
tanning alcohol The fact is, however
that most all fluid medicines, whether
prescribed by a doctor or put UP as a
patent medicine, contain a certain
amount OF alcohol 1t was alcohol that
cured your mother II was alcohol that
cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in
some form or other is making more
cures than all other drugs combined.
This is not saying, however, that Pc
runa contains only alcohol, for It does
contain excellent remedies besides al
cohol. But do contend that the alco-
hol in Peruna is not only not harmful
to those who take II, but II taken in the
doses prescribed on the bottle it will do
great deal OF good and there is not
the slightest danger Of forming drug

WOMAN AS CITY

NEW YORK WIDOW IS FIRST OF
HER SEX TO GET SUCH A JOB

New York, Sept 23.-Mrs Sarah w.
II. Christopher, who enjoys the dis
tfnction OF being the first woman FIRE
inspector to be appointed in the his
tory Of this city, has assumed the du-
ties Of that position.
The appointment was made by Fire
Commissioner Johnson and has oc-
cas1oned wide comment Mrs. Chris
topher Is thoroughly tmbued with the
work and expects TO conf1ne her ef-
forts chiefly to the East Side, among
the shops where shirtwaists and other
Womens apparel are manufactured.
She is a widow with two children,
her husband. a mining engineer, in
British Columbia, having died three
years ago. She interested herself In
sociological work, and 1t was while
thus engaged that she became inter
ested in the work Of the bureau of
fire prevention.
For months Mrs. Christopher hoped
that some day she might become aff1l-
lated with the bureau and thereby be
empowered to bring about many of the
reforms which she knew could be ac-
complfshed in the stuffy and f1l-pro-
tected East Side shops. When a po-
lice matron was made q first grade de-
tective Mrs. Christopher determined
to ask for an appointment Her en-

her. and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does It make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
