i t ADMIRAL SCHLEY ' ENDORSES PE-RU-NA. Peruna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe runa and I believe with good effect." W. S. SCHLEY, Washington, d. c. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth 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 rccentlyi his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna 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 if-. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. Tho natural timidity which so many 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 nnnals of medicine hrts 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 iias won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatevcf phase or location in the human body.

Mrs. Louis Markison of this placo had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her nny help.

The illness of King Edward VII brought to light tho fact that tho 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 tho 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-Latln, and do not come within tho scope of an English dictionary, unless, as Is the case of "bronchitis," tbpyaro In popular use. In this coun try, at least, one Is used as much as the other. Drltibh medical expertB seem to dislike tho word equally, and Sir Frederick Treves, In a recent work, goes out of his way to condemn "appendicitis" and to ilnd equivalents. ORIGIN.

The Siory of great discoveries or in ventions Is always of Interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack or bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out tho plans and enterprises he know how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before ho could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renow his physi cal and mental strength. Ho knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a more fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish tho desired results. He knew that tho soft gray substance In brain and nerve centers Is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then ho started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, tho now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain tbo brain and nervo building food elements in condlHon for easy digestion. The re sult 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 ono to carry on tho dally duties without fatigue or. exhaustion. Tho food is in no senso a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces tho dally wasto of brain and nerves. Us flavor Is charming and bolng fully and thoroughly cooked at tho factory It Is served instantly with croam. Tho slgnaturo of the brain workor spoken of, C. W.
