Having a little business IN one of

was finished ] fell in conversation with
the official in charge concerning Pc
runa. l mention his business to show
that the conversation was conducted
with a man of more than ordinary in
telligence, being q employe Of the gov
eminent who had passed through sew
eral civil service examinations. He
said to me, not knowing who l was:
II think 4 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 without
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 doc
tors she consulted. although&fhe took
their medicines faithfully for nearly n
year Some one told her about Peruna,
and against my wish and against the
wishes of our family, she began taking
it. AT once she improved, and in less
than six months she apparently N&s
well. We did all we could to discour-
age her in taking Peruna, but she per-
sisted. 1t finally came out in the mag
azines that Peruna contained alcohol.
Then we knew at once what it was
that benefited my mother, 1t was sim
ply the alcohol that Peruna contained.
We had the laugh on mother We have
moi ceased to make fun of her yet about
hef being cured with a dliution Of aleo-
hol. She seems to be embarrassed by

our teasing her, but is very stubborn.
She says that Il she were TO be sick in
the same way again she would GER
tainly set Peruna and take st. alcohol
or no alcohol. SO yoa see II people will
persist in such foollshness there ought
to be a law TO prevent them"
ventured to interpose n question.
"You cay the docnors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. what difference does 1t make TO
you whether g was alcohol OF some
other drug that effected the oure?'
We'll. don know that Il makes any
difference, but it is deceiYing the people
TO give them alcohol even though il
does cure them" he said
replied. why / cannot ex
actly derstand that. Alcohol
Ia drug. the same as qui-
nine or morphin, If alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception
l understand that the Peruna people
print on the label Of each bottle the
per cent Of alcohol contained in Peru
ma. Each patient may read it. IL he
pleases. I cannot see where there is
any deception"
well, 1 would not take Peruna, -
he persisted. NOW, ] was sick, had q
stomach disease. violent pain, that
would come on about an hour or two
after each meal 1t grew worse and
worse, 1 was also cQnstipated. ! con-
suited several doctors in our city about
my health. I went to see a prominent
specialist in New York city, paid out q
great deal of money, but no help. One
time l was having a bad spell on the
train, The gentleman who occupied
the next seat was a retired physician
with whom / had been acquainted. He
said to me. My friend, il you want to
get well / would advise you to take a
glass of lager beer before each meal.
think that will cure you Having fol-
lowed the directions of several good
physicians without any assistance,
thought 1 would try the beer, In a
very short time / found II was helping
me, and 1 got entirely well. Ny bowels
became regular and / had no more
pain. No more distress after meals
Now, If my mother had used some
remedy like that it would be all right.
But to persist in using some secret
remedy like Peruna, l think it is out
rageous."
Again / ventured to ask some ques-
tons. I asked: what do you sup
pose it was in the lager beer that eff
fected the cure?'
''Why. presume it was the stimulant
it contained. Yes, no doubt it was the
stimulant."
you know, of course, that the slim
ulant in beer is alcohol. the same as in
wine or whiskey or any other alco-
holic drink"
Yes, / have heard say that beer con-
tains about five per cent. of alcohol.
THAT is correct l replied. you

Alcohol I'm Pe-ru-rla--
An Unjust Criticism

YES. I suppose 60"
Five per cent would he one-twen-
tieth As each pint contains sixteen
ounces YOU we're 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 / understand it, the sose Of
Peruna is one tablespoonful Surprising
II % be twenty per cent. alcohol. there
would be Ia each dose one-iifth of a
Tablespoonful OF alcohol. which would
be about half a teaspoonful while you
were taking at least four teaspoonfuls
OF alcohol IN your bottle Of beer And
vet you objected TO your mothers taxi
ing Peruaa on the ground that the Pc
runa contains alcohol In my opinion
II was the alcohol that cured both Of
you. Your mother evidently was cured
OF a very serious ailment, Peruna con-
teins alcohol 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her or at least
helped to, The other ingredients OF
PeruDa might have assisted, no doubt
did, In your case Il was the alcohol In
the beer that cured YOU of the stom-
ach difficulty Peruna has cured
thousands of such cases.
"well. declare" he replied. II never
thought Of II IN that way before.
There has been SO much said about al
cohol being poisonous that l suppose
my mind has been prejudioed against
it, But If as you say there is also
alcohol in beer, the same kind OF alco-
hol as Is used in Peruna, ! cannot see
where the difference is myself"
well" ! replied, "yoa have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman is doing, You have all
lowed your mind to become prejudiced
against Peruni on account of its con-
tanning alcohol. Without stopping to
look into the matter at all you have
assumed that there is something terri
bly, disreputable about remedies con-
tanning alcohol. The fact is, however,
that most all fluid medicines. whether
prescribed by a doctor or put UP as q
patent medicine, contain certain
amount of alcohol. 1t was alcohol that
cured your mother. 1t 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 \ does
contain excellent remedies besides all
cohol But / 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 viii do
a great deal of good and there is not
the slightest danger Of forming a
drug habit" PERUNA is FOR SALE
