SUFFERING TWO YEARS

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. d. No. l,

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: 81 suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,

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

opinion possesses superior qualities to any
other known form of iron. By using other
makes of Iron Peptonate we could have
put the same quantity of actual iron in
the tablets at less than one-fourth the cost
to US, and BY using metallic iron we could
have accomplished the same thing at less
than one-twelfth the cost; but by so doing
we must have most certainly impaired
their therapeutic efficacy. Glycerophos-
pilates used in Nuxated Iron is one of the
most expensive tonic ingredients known.
1t is especially recommended to build up
the nerve force and thereby increase brain
power, as glycerophosphates are said to
contain phosphorus in that particular state
so similar to that in which it is found in
the nerve and brain cells of men.

GEORGE RUTH, the Dustin babe,

when he socked his fortieth and forty
first homers. These drives enabled him
to pass his 1919 scoring record. This
year. so far. he is responsible for sixty
one run, two more than his mark Of last
season. Forty one Of these he scored
on homers. The other talNies were
scored by the men who were resting on
the sacks when the Babe slammed his
four basers.
But there's another 1910 thrill the
Babe hasn't experienced this year. So
far this season he hasn't connected for
the circuit with three men on. He did
1t four times last year. Maybe he
hasn't had the chance this season.
In 1910 there were thirty on base
while Babe was in the home run mood.
SO far this year there have been only
twenty one while be was clouting

of defeat and beat johnson back with
his tremendous service and net play.

has keen respect for his singles game
as we'll as his doubles There is no
doubt that Wallace johnson is one of
the finest doubles players in the country
today" Doctor Hawk remarked, He
has never gotten very far because he has
not played regular with one. Not only
that, but he has never played with a
man who was as good as he. ] believe
thr he and Tilden. for example, would
make an unbeatable combination. lie
is Il fine vollcycr and his stroke is likely
to throw any man off his game, either
in singles or doubles.
Anyone who has seen Johnson play
doubles realizes that he is a marvel at
the four handed game While he plays
strictly a backcOurt game in singles
there IS not II more accuI lte nor faster
man in the country than Wallace in the
fore court in doubles play. He is as
quick as a cat and his volleys are always
placed with precision no matter now
fast he har t. make the stroke.
Wallace Johnson began to play tennis
a long while fnfOre he blOp,OEled forth
into long trousers, in fact, he won, his
first notable victories while still in short
trousers--they weren't wearing knicker-
boCkers then.
This victory came in the Pennsylva =
mia state tournament in 1902 when
Wallace defeated Doctor Hawk. This
was Doctor Hawks first year in Phila .
delphia and he was going at fine clip
then. When the doc saw Wallace be
thought it only question Of three
sets-and it was. but Wallace got the
| three. all of which went to deuce. From
that time on Doctor Hawk took great
interest in Johnson.
Some time before Wallace was rec 70
ognzed nationally Doctor Hawk in an
article in Golfers mentioned that II
Wallace developed a more severe service
and net game he would win the ma .
tional championship within the next five
years. This prediction produced a few
critical smiles by Philadelphia tennis
wiseacres, who confessed that Doctor
Hawks remarks were rather absurd.

knew about a tennis player. three years
later Johnson met Maurice u. Me-
