our teasing her. but IL very stubborn.
She says that II she were to be sick in
the same way again she would GER
tainly get Peruna and take 1t, alcohol
or no alcohol. So you see II people will
persist in such foolishness there ought
to be a law to prevent them"
l ventured to interpose O question.
You say the doctors could not cure
her. and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does It make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?"
well, I don't know that 1t makes any
difference. but 1t is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though 1t
does cure them." he said.
replied. "Why. I cannot ex-
actly underst and that. Alcohol
Is q drug. the same as qui-
nine or morphin. If alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception
understand that the Peruna people
print on the label Of each bottle the
per cent. of alcohol contained in Peru
ma. Each patient may read 1t, If he
pleases I cannot see where there is
any deception"
"Well, I would not take Peruna,"
he persisted. "Now, 1 was sick, had a
stomach disease. A violent pain, that
would come on about an hour or two
after each meal. 1t grew worse and
worse. I was also constipated. con-
suited several doctors In our city about
my health. I went to see a prominent
specialist in New York City. paid out a
great deal Of money, but no help. One
time was having bad spell on the
train. The gentleman who occupied
the next seat was q retired physician
with whom I had been acquainted. He
said to me, My friend. If you want to
get well would advise you to take a
glass of lager beer before each meal.

lowed the directions of several good
physicians without any assistance,
thought l would try the beer. In a
very short time found it was helping
me. and got entirely we'll. My bowels
became regular and 1 had no more
pain. No more distress after meals.
Now. if my mother had used some
remedy like that it would be all right
But to persist in using some secret
remedy like Peruna, think it is out
rageous."
Again ventured to ask some ques-
tons. I asked what do you sup
pose 1t was in the lager beer that eff
fected the cure?'
"Why, presume it was the stimulant
it contained. Yes, no doubt it was the
stimulant."

Alcohol In Pe-ru-na-
An Unjust Criticism

Yes, I suppose So"

tieth. As each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking little less
than an ounce of alcohol before eacL
meal"
EYES,"
But you objected to your mothera
taking alcohol I'm the Peruna, and We,
she was taking far less alcohol than yo,
were. As I understand 1t. the dose OF
Peruna is one tablespoonful. Surprising
1t to be twenty per cent. alcohol, there
would be in each dose one-fifth OF q
tablespoonful Of alcohol, which would
be about half a teaspoonful. while you
were taking at least four teaspoonfuls
Of alcohol In your bottle of beer And
yet you objected to your mothers talk
Ing Peruna on the ground that the Pc
runa contains alcohol. In my opinion
1t was the alcohol that cured both OF
you. Your mother evidently was cured
of very serious ailment. Pcrura con-
tains alcohol. 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her, or at leg. st
helped to. The other ingredients OF
Peruna might have assisted, no doubt
did. In your case 1t was the alcohol in
the beer that cured you Of the ston-
ach difficulty. Peruna has cured
thousands Of such cases."
''Well. I declare" he replied. ri never
thought of it in that way before
There has been so much said about al
cohol being poisonous that I suppose
my mind has been prejudiced against
1t. But II as you say there is also
alcohol in beer, the same kind of alco-
hol as is used in Peruna, cannot see
where the difference Is myself"
"Well" I replied, "you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman is doing. You have al
lowed your mind to become prejudiceL
against Peruna on account of it's con-
tanning alcohol. Without stopping TO
look into the matter at all you have
assumed that there is something terri
bly, disreputable about remedies con
tanning alcohol. The fact is, however,
that most all fluid medicines, whether
prescribed by q doctor or put up as u
patent medicine. contain n certain
amount of alcohol. 1t was alcohol that
cured your mother. 1t was alcohol that
cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in
some form or other is making more
cures than all other drugs combined

runa contains only alcohol, for it does
contain excellent remedies besides al
cohol. But do contend that the alco-
hol in Perunais not only not harmful to
those who take it, but if taken in the
doses prescribed on the bottle it will co
q great deal of good and there is not
the slightest danger of forming a

Returning from a short journey

tendency TO make of the Christmas
season an out of doors festivity. More
and more the merchants are decorat-
ing their places of business with ever
green. holly and fancy cards, while
il one city visited the municipality
had taken over iutersectins streets and
transformed the corners into bowers
with greenery and huge flaming bells.
In many OF the smaller cities the out

in either the par. or the public square.
This seems a particularly happy idea
and one can fancy when il Is accom-
panied by the singing Of carols Will
make d lasting impression of the beau
" and meaning OF the season in the
plastic minds OF little children.
Last year d family decided TO eX-
tend it's preparation to the decoration
OF the porch OF the home, copying the
idea from pictures shown In one OF the
II agasines. The result was charm
ing. The entrance way was banked
with spruce boughs. a star was sus-
pended from the center and radiating
toward the corners were garlands OF
red and green. The windows held the
holly wreaths, tied with big satin
bows. The family had planned tie
