Mss Lillian Hill, lecturing on eu-

1T is a good thing for the human
race that beauty counts for more than
intellect when il comes to love- In

DR.. Hartman Saws
Write to Peruna Testimonials II You
Want to Know the Truth.

w dHt 70 FNHo" kHC tTutN
The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regular
CORES pondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs,
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
you suppose she would give me fur
ther particulars? l have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. ! have been in
ciined to write you great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing So am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such az
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been SO much said against
them. SO much controversy concern
ing them, l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence In
| them.
l wish you would write Mrs Boyle,
as one woman to another. ! wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
| the truth
l hope you will remember that she
| is housewife, like yourself. that she
has something to do besides write
| letters, that she is woman of mod
! crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. I hope you will enclose
stamp SO she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt YOU will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh l would be very glad
to hear of the result. can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter. which ia my
reason for doing so. and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca.
tarrh who take Peruna. There is NO
doubt about that. Some Surprising

For not only did this visit lie behind her
irritation. There were other causes She
was growing tired. Not exactly Of Harry
she tried to think that 1t wasn't Harry
but Of the monotony and work of mar
ried life that are inevitable when the de-
sires and fancies run ahead OF the DOCK
etbook. The small suburban cottage had
been lovely when they first took pos
session, and the housework had been
fun Now 1t was different. Before her
marriage Nell had been a fairly success
full illustrator-successful, that is, in a
small way: enough to satisfy her. She
liked the work for the works sake. But
a teething baby pulled the paper from
her longing nngers and she never had
time to pick it up. And Harry's salary
wasn't large.
"And now Aunt Sarah is coming" she
muttered. Just when thought I could
finish cleaning house and then have a
few days rest. I wouldn't care If it were
Aunt Ellen" For Aunt Ellen was a fat
comfortable soul. who laughed the day
through and didn't care If a cottage held
dust or not Aunt Sarah. they said, got
a hat pin and poked the corners of the
woodwork for dirt.
At noon Harry telephoned out. Nell.
you're too tired to finish house cleaning,
SO I've sent woman out from an en-
pioyment agency Now you let her do
she's strong as an OK. Oh. yes. can
afford 1t. And SO you can't object. I've
paid her In advance" And while she
was objecting he hung up the receiver.
After the first qualm at the unnecessary
spending Of 81 she was glad. She hadn't
realized till then how she had quailed
at the rubbing. polishing. sweeping and
Furnishing. She had been at the work
three days and was tired out. She hur-
riedly finished her own and the baby's
lunch and washed the dishes. She was
emptying the dishwater when the door
bell rang, and she opened it to a tall
old woman with muscular shoulders and
big strong hands. "Come right in." in
vited Nell, gladly. Harry was a good
hearted boy--she wished she hadn't been
SO cEose. And you can 60 right to work
