In reply L wish to say, first, that

Peruna will cure. No physician can
make positive statements of that sort.
] can say this much, however, If
were in your place l should certainly
give Peruna a trial 1 know of no
other remedy that would be so likely
to be Of use to you in your present
condition as Peruna. Take a table,
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. Continue this for two or three
weeks and then If there is anything
you wish to ask me further write me
and 1 will give your letter prompt at
tention.
If 1 find that the Peruna is not
helping you 1 will be perfectly frank
and tell you so, for 1 would not have
you take Peruna unless it was really
helping you. But 1t has rescued so
many cases of kidney disease that I
am quite confident you will find 1t ex-
actly suited to your case.
Kidney disease begins with catarrh
Of the kidneys. Peruna is a catarrh
remedy. Unless the destruction of the
kidneys is already too great Peruna

LUCKY BEAN SAVED SAILOR

COHSCIOuS ANnOn9 OdnnIDdl6.
OF all the many mysterious prod
ucts of the ocean, none can compare
with the sea bean. Scientists are d.
vided as to its origin, as no one has
ever seen the shrub or vine on which
It grows, and it is never found save
lent by a hard storm, when the sea
beans, cast forth from some mysteri-
Gus depth, are found scattered along
the beach, derelicts of the tide. There
are numerous varieties, large and
small, and some are very rare, espe-
cially the large liver bean and the
banded bean. The savage tribes
which inhabit the South Seas regard
them as almost sacred, and look upon
the lucky pcssessor Of one Of the rare
varieties as particularly favored by
the gods. Dusky bellies, having in
their possession these rare products
Of the deep, will fight for their treas
TIRE against all corners, as they be-
lieve that the sea bean gives them
unusual power especially in love, and
that any man on whom their affec-
tons are set must yield to their
charms II they but touch him with
the lucky bean. One touch Of the
ever.
Mr.. Leak, manager Of the North Of
Bay counties exhibit cars from Cali.
fornia, is the fortunate possessor Of
a rare specimen, which has thrilling
history, which would seem to prove
the superstition OF the savages Of the
South Sea islands. It was given to
him by a sailor friend who was
wrecked in a mighty storm which
swept the tropical seas. The sailor,
unconscious and nearly dead, was
washed ashore on an island, and
when he recovered his senses he
found himself surrounded by crowd
Of savage men and women. They
were cannibals, and his fate would
undoubtedly have been a horrible one,
but suddenly a native saw grasped in
the sailors hand one OF the rarest of
the sea beans. Where it came from
and how it happened that he held 1t
WHen ne WAS cast upon the Deacn ne
never knew, but the superstitious ma
tives looked upon him as one espe-
cially protected by the gods, and the
bean proved to him a lucky one in
deed for Il undoubtedly saved him
from terrible fate. Some years ago
MIR, Leak befriended this old sailor
in San Francisco and as a reward
this lucky bean was presented TO him,
and he values it highly.
81 am not superstitious, said Mr..
Leak in speaking Of this bean, which
he has had made into a watch charm,
"but have not had any very pad
luck since I was presented with the
lucky bean by my old sailor friend
Seth"
