FALLS THROUGH
APLATE WINDOW
G. P. Skinner Slips and Plunges
Head Foremost Into Glass
Hands Cut.

Charles P. Skinner plunged head
foremost through 10x10 plate glass
window at the entrance of the Tri-City
Piano company's display rooms on Fiji
teenth street, near Fifth avenue, yes
terday. Spectators who helped him
out of the debris thought for a time
he had been seriously injured, but it
was found that cuts about the hands
constituted practically the only dam
age inflicted. His hat saved his head
from injury.
Mr.. Skinner was walking rapidly as
he approached the window and his
foot slipped on the steel floor at the
entrance. To save himself he thrust
his hands out against the glass, which
gave way with a crash and he fell
through the opening. He was given
first aid at the Lindvall drug store.

YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE. POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any

interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble little
Of this and q little of that. but they
do not care for it.
Lunch mas lost all of it's charms.
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong. Of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out OF sorts.
That is all.
1t is in this kind of a condition
that Peruna acts very beneAcialiy.
After using Peruna, interest In food
is revived. beginning with q tea
spoonful OF Peruna before each meal
viii generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion
Thousands of people can testify to
this. Liberated from Il slavery that IS
almost unbearable. The slavery of
having no interest in life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies win get blue again. Fields viii
look green once more and life VIII
be pleasant. You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
is n good place to live in. Peruna
will do it. Not as an artificial slim
ulant. Simply a tonic that stimulates
appetite in q natural way.

eiues can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
