Gentlemen I can cheerfully say that Mrs Schley has taken Pe
runa and 1 believe with good effect W S SCHLEY Washington d c
SCHLEY one of the foremost notable heroes of the
ADMIRAL Century A name that starts terror in the heart
of every Spaniard A man of steady nerve clear head un
daunted courage and prompt decision
Approached by a friend recently his opinion was asked as to
the efficacy of Pcruna the national catarrh remedy Without the
slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement It ap
pcared on later conversation that Pcruna has been used in his family
where it is a favorite remedy
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that
Pcruna has upon the minds of the American people It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley
could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says
it is

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its
way to the hearts of the people The natural timidity which so mary
people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving
way Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of
people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so
many men of national and international reputation have been willing
to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy
No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result
Peruna has won on its own merits Peruna cures catarrh of whatever
phase or location in the human body This is why it receives so many
notable and unique endorsements

He Begins Early
Dr Francis L Patton president of
Princeton Theological seminary has
a reputation not only for the excel
lency of his sermons but for the short
notice at which on occasion he can
prepare them Some time ago he
was conducting a question box at
school when he was asked
by one of his auditors Will you tell
me Dr Patton your method of pre
paring your sermons Do you begin
early in the week Yes said Dr
Patton quite early But per
sisted the questioner how early

Still Another Case
Franksville Wis Oct 12th Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
i one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing and
which has not as yet been given to
the public
Mrs Louis Markison of this place
had been a sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen
erally known as female weakness
Every woman Avho reads her story
will understand these distressing con
ditions which combine to make the
lives of many women one long bur
den of weakness and suffering
Mrs Markison chanced one day to
hear of a new remedy called Dodds
Kidney Pills that was said to be a
splendid medicine for womens weak
ness She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting better
She kept on with the pills and was
cured Speaking of her case Mrs
Markison says
I can and do praise Dodds Kidney
Pills as a remedy for female weakness
They are the best rsjdicine I have
ever known and have aeaa me a
great deal of good
A married woman is disappointed
when she starts away for a two weeks

Appendicitis is Barred
The illness of King Edward VII
brought to light the fact that the
word appendicitis which is in gen
eral use -in this country is not so
common in England It is as a mat
ter of fact of American origin and
It is possible that this is the reason
wny it is ignored in the huge New
English Dictionary Dr Murray
however has recently accounted for
his decision on the ground that words
ending in itis are not English but
Graeco Latin and do not come within
the scope of an English dictionary
unless as is the case of bronchitis
they are in popular use In this coun
try at least one is used as much as
the other British medical experts
seem to dislike the word equally and
Sir Frederick Treves in a recent
work goes out of his way to condemn
appendicitis and to find equivalents

Iron
Stimulating Growth of Trees
A new method of forcing the growth
of trees has lately been put to the
test of experiment in the Crimea sup
plying trees with the food necessary
for their growth through the trunk
thus dispensing with the slow pro
cesses of nature which can only work
by means of the roots Salts of iron
either in liquid or solid form have
been introduced by cutting a hole in
the stem An account of these pro
ceedings has been recently read be
fore the Imperial Botanical society of
St Petersburg The system has been
applied to 800 fruit trees and photo
graphs showed that it had quite ful
filled the expectations
Famous Moated House
The moat which so often surround
ed halls and castles in the old days
is now generally dry and fill J up
but some remarkable specimens still
remain Perhaps the finest example
of a moated house is Helmingham
hall the seat of Lord Tollemache in
Suffolk about eight miles from Ips
wich The drawbridge still remains
and it has been raised every night for
more than 300 years the ancient pre
caution being observed even though
the need for it has long passed by
The moat which surrounds Leeds cas
tle near Maidstone is so wide that it
may almost be called a lake The
ancient episcopal palace at Wells is
surrounded by Avails which inclose
nearly seven acres of ground and by a
moat which is supplied with water
from St Andrews well A venerable
bridge spans the moat giving access
through a tower gateway in the other
court
ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food
The Story of great discoveries or in
ventions is always of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effect
upon the human system In othei
words before he could carry out hi
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi
cal and mental strength
He knew that a food that was a
brain and nerve builder rather than
a mere fat maker was universally
needed He knew that meat with tho
average man does not accomplish the
desired results He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain ant7
nerve centers is made from Albumen
I and Phosphate of Potash obtainec
from food Then he started to solve
the problem
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape Nuts the now famous
food Grape Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
suit of eating Grape Nuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system making it a pleasure for one
-to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion The food is
in no sense a stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste of brain and nerves
Its flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of C W Post is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts
Look in each package for a copy of
tho famous little book The Road to
Wellville

were abolished in Japan This sum
