Infection and Distinction
How Physicians Protect Themselves
Against Contagious Disease.

against infection. If the mucous
membranes are perfectly normal, f
they are doing their function as they
should, there is no danger of infec-
ton from that source.
The most common arrangement Of
the mucous membrane is catarrh. Ca
tarrh produces a condition of the mu-
cous membrane which disables it from
protecting the system. Poisons are
easily absorbed through the mucous
membrane, if there is any catarrhal
congestion.
What is still worse, the catarrh
will produce small ulcers on the mu-
cous membrane. Sometimes these I'LL
GERS are so small as to be invisible to
the naked eye. Others are large, pro-
ducing white patches of some size.
Such a mucous membrane will absorb
any poison with which it comes in
contact. The physician strives to
keep the mucous membrane free from
catarrh. He knows very we'll if he
exposes himself to disease with ca
tarrhal mucous membranes he cannot
hope to escape infection.
There are different remedies recon-
mended to produce this result. But
the remedy that will really keep the
mucous membranes healthy, the rem
edy I use myself the remedy rec
ommend to my patients, is Peruna.
Peruna, if taken properly, will protect
the mucous membranes from catarrh.
This will enable the mucous mem
branes to protect the body from con-
tagious disease.
II 1 were practicing among conta-
gious and infectious diseases today I
should take Peruna every day, to in
sure a perfect condition of health.
There is no disinfectant strong enough
to kill disease germs that will not at
the same time injure the human bod.
Therefore, good health of body. inside.
and out, is the only hope of the ply
sician or any one else, as a proven
tive against contagious diseases. No.
so. (Advl

SHIPPING ILLUSTRATED CON-
TAINS ARTICLE IN RECENT IS
SUE ABOUT THE PENSACOLA
MOBILE WATERWAY.

The following is a copy of an item
appearing in Shipping illustrated Of
February Is, 1913:
1.-THE Pensacola Apalachicola and
st. Andrews bay canal and the Pen
acola-Mobile canal are both prac-
tically assured Government engineers
are now surveying the cutting Of the
proposed Pensacola-St. Andrews bay
canal. Engineers and surveyors are
said to be working in the direction Of
ST. Andrews from a point On the Choc-
tawhatchee river, and when the survey
is completed they will make their rec
concentrations to the department in
Washington under which they are
operating. United States Senator Dun
can u. Fletcher, F'lorida's senior
member, has introduced an amend
ment whereby he hopes to secure an
appropriation of $4,000 to be used in
cutting the Mobile Pensacola canal.
The undertaking is not considered as
great as the Pensacola st. Andrews
proposition. according to the surveys
already made. But comparatively little
cutting will be necessary to give Pen
sacola inland connection with Perdido
bay"

the murderer of Detective Peter NJ.
Hart, told the states attorney that the
right name of James Perry, arrested
several weeks ago as the leader of the
automobile bandit crew, was James
Seymour. He said that Perry's home
was in Hamilton, Ont, and that he
had been arrested in Oklahoma and
was now wanted in Iowa. Perry con-
fessed several robberies which he said
were committed in company with
Webb, but he never gave any indica-

Gated and ambitious. I am anxious to
leave the little town where / am now
making my home to go to the city to
live and work. I am not afraid CT
work, and am sure I could succeed,
but my parents are much opposed to
my going to a city. They seem to
think that 1 should be sure to meet
with failure, yet there is nothing here
for me. Can you not advise me what
to do? What are the chances in a
city for girl ambitious and not afraid
TO work.
This is one of many letters I have
received from girls anxious to leave
the small town and cast their fortunes
in the city.
Here is another letter. which is du-
