MILLICENT HARDEN

A remarkable person who plays the
role of big sister, to Leila; they're
neighbors. Millicents father made
afortune out of an asthma cure-the
joyofthe cut-rate druggists. Socially,
the senior Hardens are outside the
breastworks, but Millicent is asked
to very large functions, where no.
body knows who's there. She has a
strong artistic bent; really plays the
organ, is poetic and models in clay

No matter how long you have

suffered, you must not give I'D
hope. Mr.. John Wick, of Mono

and IS a well man today. In Sep
TENDER, 1918, he wrote: 81 have
been a user of Pe-ru-na for near
ly twenty years. I had catarrh of
the stomach for ten years. Moth
ing did me any good. 1 grew
worse until a friend advised me
to try Pe-ru-na. While using the
first bottle, l felt l had found
the right medicine. I am entirely
cured My weight was down to
135 pounds and now I weigh 1o5
pounds. l have used very little
medicine for the last ten years"
The condition known as catarrh-
al is not confined 60 the nose and
throat. 1t may be found wherever
there r mucous membranes and
is responsible for a multitude of
troubles Coughs and colds are
catarrhal as we'll as stomach and

is full of fun; moves in the best soci.
