This may bring on a condition of
the stomach knowns as dyspepsia. The
stomach is suddenly surprised with
extra work in digesting unusual
amounts of food. In some cases it is
not equal to the emergency.
Peruna is an excellent stomachic.
1t stimulates the stomach in it's nat
ural functions. 1t acts as a gentle
laxative also, and in this way enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
rise TO the emergency of the extra
work thrown upon them during the

doubtedly save a great many people

from one of the seeding states. in
the process of making it a separate
commonwealth many new and puz

Geographically and politically the
West Virginians for some years be-
fore the war had practically regarded
themselves as sepaate community
from their neighbors in the central
