The MineIaying System.

Admiral William S. Sims writes in
the Worlds Work: "If you had been
following one of the mine layers while
1t operates, you would probably have
been surprised at the apparent sim
plicity of the task. The vessel was
going at its full speed; at intervals
of few seconds, huge black objects,
about five feet high would be observed
gliding toward the stern; at this point
they would then give a mighty lurch,
fall head first into the water sending
up great splash, and sink beneath the
waves. BY the time the disturbance
was over the ship would have ad-
vanced a considerable distance; then,
in a few seconds. another black OBJ
ject would roll toward the stern, make
a similar plunge and disappear"

9UFFTRlNn Two YEARS


Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and Indebtedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. d. No. 1,
Box IA, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: al suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two Of
the best doctors, who gave me up.

truthfully say l am well. When l

cannot praise PE-RU-NA too

bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
/ advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA."
As an emergency remedy in the
home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu-
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.

and sweepings and drubbings that
