 What is sought to be i'm pressed upon every citizen IS recognition of the fact that his owu success and prosperl- ty are almost if not quite as dependent upon the enterprise and progressiveness of hls community as upon his own enterprise and progressive ness.
 When a single merchant is himself enterprising and up- to-date, doing his best to de serve and hold the local trade much of his efforts will be wasted if his fellow merchants are out of date and ignorant of modern methods of mer- chandising. In fact he will see almost at once that holding town and community is an uphill job if the drygoods man, the grocer, the lumber man and other merchants of the town are not using mod ern methods to hold their classes of trade also.

 Dear Doctor Hartman: T am very much interested in your articles. I have no doubt they will do a great deal of good. Sometimes I am almost tempted to buy a bottle of Pe-ru-na and have it on hand. because of your convincing talk, but I belong to a health club, It Is one rule of this club to have nothing to do with dis ease or medicine. Our whole talk is health and things that make for health, We are determined, all of us, to never use medicine in any form. Of course we do not attempt to deny the usefulness of medicine on some occasions, but for ourselves we have decided that we will so live that we shall never need the services of a doctor or the assistance of a medicine.

ThiS Aonse-M0de Cough Cyrup U,itz Surprise You Stops Even Whooping Cough Quxcklys A Family Supply
 at Small Cost.

Here is homemade remedy that takes hold of a cough instantly, and will usually cure the most stubborn case in 24 hours. This recipe makes 8 pint enough for a whole family. You couldn't buy as much or as good ready made cough syrup for $2.50.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with F pint of warm water, and stir 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worth) in pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly and has pleasant taste-children like 1t. Braces up the appetite and is slightly laxative, which helps end a cough.
 You probably know the medical value of pine in treating asthma, bronchitis and other throat troubles, sore lungs, etc. There is nothing better. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in g.laiacol and all the natural healing pine clements. Other preparations will not work fin this formula.
 The prompt results from this inexpen. sive remedy have made friends for it in thousands of homes in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been initiated often, but never successfully.

The laws of Nature are memorable, but the rewards of Nature are kind and beneficent beyond all expression. IL you do these things you may during your life esca pc the necessity of using medicine but even with all this you may occasionally need medicine.
 But you must remember that you and your club are exceptional people, that the great masses of people go on thoughtlessly. Their diet is very lily fitted to sustain their bodies properly. Their exposure to cold and wet and heat and fatigue is very reckless. In short, they do not know how to take care of themselves. Consequently, medicine is necessary often.
 The medicine Pe-ru-na is a climatic medicine. It is intended to reach eli matic troubles, troubles that arise as the direct result of exposure to eli mate.
 It is also intended to meet those difficulties which arise from improper nourishment of the body and improper diet, producing indigestion and bilious ness
 The principal climatic trouble in our country is catarrh. and large num- Der of people have catarrh Perhaps one-half of our people.

Are Medicines Wholly Useless? Can The Masses Get Along Without Them :?

mother. the grand children, are all stumbling along needless of the laws of Nature. A sudden attack Of cold, chill, cough hoarseness, tightness in the chest, biiiousness, dyspepsia. any one of these things is liable to occur at any time In such a household.
 Now, such people ought to have Pe-- ru-na. At the first symptom that presents, itself, or any disturbance or the body, a few doses of Pe-ru-na should be- taken. If the disease is acute Pe-ru-na had better be taken teaspoonfu1 every hour. If it is a dis turbance that allows the patient to go about his usual business, taken accord ing to the directions on the bottle IS best. If this is done 1t will save the people untold expenses and suffering Not one case in fifty that comes under the care of the doctor would occur if Pe-ru-na was kept in the house ana taken at the very outset of the trouble. Yes, all this is true and more
 I have hoped all my life to live to see the day when obedience! to the laws of Nature would be prevalent, when the people would live so they would not invite disease or provoke disturbance in the body But have not lived to see that day yet. l hardly think I shall But I have lived to see the day when the people and even the medical profession are very much more interested in hygiene and sani- tation than they used to De.
 At one time, as writer, I seemed to be all alone in trying to get the people to listn and become obedient to the laws governing their bodies. Now there are writers galore saying the same things. l am profoundly grate- ful that this is so.
 So long as there are disobedient ones, so long we must have medicine Even those who are trying to be obed tent to the laws of Nature, trying their very best, need medicine for unavoid- able conditions that often bring on some Arrangement. If such little de- engagements were met promptly with Pe-ru-na the day would more quickly come when even Pe-ru-na would not be needed the day when the drug doc tor would absolutely go out of busi- ness May that day hasten. shall do all I can while I do live to hurry on the coming of that millennium when all drugs will be relegated to the rubbish heap and all doctor books laid aside as curiositieS.
