PERNIcIoUs EFFECT ON BODY
Beer Drinking Produces Disease Of
Stomach and Digestive Tract
and Of Nervous System.

My connection with large medical
Institutions for many years past has
given me. think, an excellent oppor-
tunity to observe the effect Of beer
drinking and the use of other alco-
holic liquors in many cases. l can
say as result of my own observation
that beer drinking has a very perni-
cious effect upon nearly every organ
of the body. It produces disease OF
the stomach and digestive tract, of
the heart and circulating system. Of
the kidneys and liver. and of the nerv-
GUS system. In addition to this 1t les
sens the vigor and vital resistance of
the whole body, makes the beer drink
er very much more susceptible to In
fection such as pneumonia and other
acute infections. and also lessons his
ability to recover from Illnesses of
any kind. An untold amount of mis-
cry and disease would be avoided II
the use of beer and other intoxicat-
ing liquors could be wiped OF the face
of the earth.-Dr. w. H. Riley. Battle
Creek Sanitarium. Battle Creek. Mich.

The trail of the serpent is over 1t
all and the canker is at our hearts.
It's perfectly scandalous!"
Aunt Jane knotted her thread, and
then looked over her spectacles at
her niece. who had pumped her
comely person upon the lounge and
was arranging the cushions to suit

THAT was Mr.. Megrim. wasn't It.

sweet for anything. He would be a
handsome man If he didn't show SO
much of his lower teeth, don't you
think? But when society is rotten
to the core and, the spirit OF greed
dominates the nation, it's hard for a
man of any sensibility to keep his lip
from dropping. I'm afraid some time
he will step on 1t and have a seri-
GUS fall. 1t would naturally be seri-
GUS, II he had IT."

remarked that frivolity was not an
altogether commendable thing In her

NO FOOD VALUE IN ALCOHOL
Or. Evans, Former Chief Health Off
Ger Of Chicago, Says Liquor Has
Only Fuel Worth.

Dim. E. Evans. former chief health
c1lcer OF Chicago, now on the Chi
cago Daily Tribune staff. In an arti-
clio recently contributed to that pa
per says:
"A man with the alcohol habit is a
sick man. however much he may think
to the contrary. He Is mentally sick.
He may have inherited mental make
up which makes 1t strongly probable
that he will be drunkard. or 1t may
be the fault of bad social training.
Usually. however, the disease devel-
ops as the result of what 1t feeds
on. The mans mentality becomes per-
verted through chronic alcoholic poi
soning.
Alcohol has fuel value. but no food
value. Its poisonous qualities over
shadow its fuel value. 1t has no toxin
neutralizing power. 1t is no longer
used by well-informed people for
snake bites. or consumption, or blood
poisoning. There is mighty little. II
there is any. place for alcohol in med.
icine."

Man Made Of Horseshoes

Some years ago Mr.. Douglas. the
village smith of Ellensburg. Wash. set
to work to construct giant figure of
a man out of old horseshoes which he
accumulated in the course OF his work.
Up to date he has completed the legs,
which are composed of no fewer than
$4,000 shoes. Mr.. Douglas is begin
ming to wonder II he will ever finish
the figure. as the coming OF the motor
has an appreciable effect upon the
shoeing trade and materials for this
quaint colossus are not coming In 80

Hard to Imagine.

A sense of the value OF money comes
to some people sooner than to others,
and some people never know its value,
but there is one little boy in a suburb
of Boston that has a keen sense Of
1t. He was discussing a piece of work
that he had done and telling his moth
er how much he had been paid for it.
Now. the boy is not yet ten years old.
and SO the price paid for his labor was
small. To him 1t looked large. how
ever.
But a boy I know got four dollars
a week for working" he told his moth
er. He worked for a long time. but
he got sick and died. Now, what do
you think of fellow thatIl die with
that salary?"-Boston Traveller and

A Minneapolis saloonkeeper recent

bc<zer need apply" Suppose employ
ers in other trades should adopt the

on the cash register OF the saloon
keeper? The truth is. the rule of to-
tai abstinence is becoming popular
among employers all over the country.

Criminal Waste.

The estimated wholesale market
value OF liquors as reckoned by the
United States census bureau is $780,
726.471.
It is startling fact that this entire
production of liquor is SO much waste.
In every branch and detail Of the busi-
ness of the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors there is absolute
destruction, without a single redeem
ing or qualifying feature. The raw
material used is wasted. the labor ex-
pended upon it is wasted. the money

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


The following letter was received
by DIR. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. II l should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
ther particulars? l have heard 1t 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
clined to write you a 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 remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:-I 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.
/ wish you would write Mrs. Bogle.
as one woman to another / wish YOU
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
/ hope you will remember that she
is a housewife, like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman of mod.
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. / hope you will enclose
stamp SO she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Perura
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear of the result. I can assure YOU
that no use will be made of your let.

Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing SO, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
