Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take a laxative. There are OF
course few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as gentle
laxative, but also as tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, or some one who can give the
case his personal attention. But long be
fore this happens the person will complain
of this or that symptom, which is not Sc
we're enough to interfere with his regular
activities. If at this place before the di

Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained foothold in the
system, person was to take dose or two
of good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be kept
in the house. Its virtue as preventive
to disease is the thing I wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition Of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness Of the bowels,
biliousness, re-absorption of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy OF
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
few doses Of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as a
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With a
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite IS
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become SO thoroughly established that
all medicines are superfuous, Peruna will
be needed 1t is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So ne named them in honor OF
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea,
and thus the word cabin was grad

years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word "stateroom
became incorporated into our lam
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in a thou
sand who occupies stateroom knows

A Snow Hill Boys Invention

Mr. Henry Il. Johnson. of Philadel-
pha. the son of Mr.. Samuel r. Johnson.
of Snow Hill. is the originator of "A new
fuel device. and the head of a concern
that has been organized in Philadelphia
for its manufacture. In regard to the
device we quote from a Philadelphia
exchange as follows:
"A new device has been introduced
which bids fair to revolutionize the meth
cd of obtaining increased power from
the motor and is known as the Johnson
EconomiZer.
On recent test trip to Atlantic
City with five passenger ear a record
of thirty-seven miles per gallon was
established. Not only new record for
low fuel consumption was established.
but a marked increase Of power and
tlexibility was shown.
The principle of supplying heated air
directly with the intake manifold, en-
ergy given to the mixture proves that
although the idea is new it nevertheless
is the correct one and that other designs
which have been supplying hot air to the
air intake of the carburetor have been
working on the wrong principle.
The Henry 3. johnson Economizer
Company is fortunate in having in their
organization Mr.. C.. b. Shaw. who is
thoroughly conversant with the auto
mobile business. Mr. Shaw has had
years of manufacturing and sales ex-
perience.
His hand at the helm Of this business
guarantees it success from the start.
With his experience and the mechanical
ability Of Mr. Henry y. Johnson, the
inventor. Philadelphia is assured Of an
other big manufacturing industry.
