Having a little business in one of the federal offices of the city, after it was finished 1 fell in conversation with the official in charge concerning Pe- runa. I mention his business to show that the conversation was conducted with a man of more than ordinary fn- telligence, being an employe of the gov ernment who had passed through sev- eral civil service examinations. He said to me, not knowing who l was:
 q think q great deal of this patent medicine business ought to be stopped
 Especially such remedies as Peruna. Peruna, as you know, is a stimulant and contains eighteen or twenty per cent of alcohol. People take it withou knowing what it is, and such remedies ought to be prohibited by law. My own mother took Peruna once. She had a cough, night sweats, was growing emaciated and weak. Several doctors examined her The opinion was ex- pressed several times that she was going Into consumption One thought it was chronic bronchitis. At any rate. her condition was quite serious. She was unable to get any relief from the doctors she consulted, although she took their medicines faithfully for near ly year. Some one told her about Peruna, and against my wish and against the wishes of our family. she began taking 1t. At once she improved
 and in less than six months she ap- parently was well. We did all we could to- discourage her in taking Pe- runa, but she persisted It finally came out in the magazines that Peruna contained alcohol. Then we knew at once what is was that bene fitted my mother, it was simply the alcohol that Peruna contained We had the laugh on mother. We have not ceased to

Roosevelt Speaks to Several Thousand From Balcony of Exchange Hotel
 in Montgomery Saturday
Rx L. $. nEIvrY

Montgomery. September 2S.-(Special)- In a steady drizzle of rain which kept up continually during the course of his address, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, for mer President of the United States and the leader of the bull moose party in the country, spoke from the balcony of the Exchange hotel here today to several thousand, persons of Montgomery and sur rounding territory.
 For an hour or more before time for Colonel Roosevelt to speak people began to throng the street in front of the hotel, and with umbrellas over their heads they waited for the appearance of the former President. Shortly after o'clock Colonel Roosevelt approached to the front of the balcony overlooking the street, and with an umbrella over his head, he waited while Judge oscar Hundley of Birming- ham introduced him to the large crowd of people who thronged the street.
 Following Judge Hundley's speech, Colonel Roosevelt approached to the bal cony rail and launched into his address. His speech was characterized by earnest ness, and while several times he had to stop to wait for applause 10 subside, he

 Auditor C. Brooks Smith may run for treasurer. though it is understood that MT. Smith has not yet decided. For the office of auditor. Judge ". F. Will lunson has been suggested and also Judge Purifoy, in the event the latter does not run for secretary of state.
 Hector D, Lane will probably run for commissioner of agriculture, and an- other candidate mentioned for this of flee is W. A. Wilkinson, former con- missioner of agriculture.
 It is thought that candidates for the most part deem it rather early to make any definite announcement as to their future plans. though there will prob ably be any number of them in the field within the next few months.

Alcohol in Pe-ru-na--
 An Unjust Criticism

pint of five per cent solution of al- coho1."
 '-Yes. suppose so."
 Five per cent would be one-twen- tieth. As each pint contains sixteen ounces you were then taking little less than an ounce of alcohol before each meal"
 "Yes"
 But you objected to your mothers taking alcohol in the Peruna, and yet she was taking far less alcohol than you were. As I understand it, the dose of Peruna is one tablespoonful. Sup posing it to be twenty per cent alcohol, there would be in each dose one-fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol, which would be about half teaspoonful, 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 dently was cured of very serious ail- ment Peruna contains alcohol. It was undoubtedly the alcohol that cured her, or at least helped to- The other ingre- dients of Peruna might have assisted, no doubt did. In your case it was the alcohol in the beer that cured you of the stomach difficulty. Peruna has cured thousands of such cases"
 Well, I declare" he replied, T never thought of it in that way before. There has been so much said about al- cohol being poisonous that I suppose my mind has been prejudiced against It. But if as you say there is also alcohol in beer, the same kind of alco- mol as is used in Peruna, I cannot see Where the difference is myself"
 We'll l replied, you have been doing exactly what the average man and woman Is doing. You have allowed your mind to become prejudiced against Peruna on account of it's containing all cohol. Without stopping to look into the matter at all you have assumed that there is something terribly dis reputable about remedies containing alcohol The fact Is, however, that most all fluid medicines, whether pre- scribed by doctor or put up as a patent medicine, contain a certain amount of alcohol It was alcohol that cured your mother. It 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 Pe- runa contains only alcohol, for it does contain excellent remedies besides al- coho1. But I do contend that the alco- hol in Peruna is not only not harmful to those who take it, but if 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 habit"
 Peruna is for sale at all drug stores
 SPECIAL NOTICE-Many persons are making inquiries for the old-time Peruna. To such would say, this form ula is now put out under the name of KA-TAR-NO, manufactured by KA- TAR-NO Company, Columbus, Ohio, and is sold by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Gum Drug Co.,. Birmingham, Ala.
