Food Adulterant.
A queer idea of what people are put
ting into their stomachs is conveyed
by various bills on food adulteration
pending in the Missouri legislature.
It is to be inferred that candy is com
posed in part of terra alba, barytes,
talc, lampblack, chrome yellow and
various mineral salts and acids; that
milk contains boracie acid, salicylic
acid, salicylate of soda and formalde
hyde; that some food preparations are
compounded with arsenic, calomel, bis
muth and ammonia ns ingredients, and
that jellies, spices, condiments, teas
and coffees are not what they seem.
European laws against the adultera
tion of food are farmore effective than
any yet put in force in the United
States. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A GREAT many remedies to
la temporarily relieve catarrtt 1
- have been devised from time to I
ujiiu, sue 11 us siruj b, aiiuiis, creams aim
other local applications, but, as a rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treattoentof catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
It therefore created a great sensa
tion in medical circles when Dr. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound' which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in a short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying- to the fact that Pe
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the oilice of The Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis.,
writes: "I feel obliged to extend you
my personal thanks for my complete
restoration. All through the winter I
suffered from throat and lung trouble,
but recovered my entire health by the
use of your excellent remedy, Peruna."
Tho following letter from n prom
inent gentleman of Los Angeles, is a
case in point:
Mr. J. W. Fuller, President of the
Jewelers' Association of T.os Angeles,
Cal., haabeen in business in that city
for seventeen years out of the forty-five
that he has been engaged in business.
Concerning his experience with Peruna
he sa.vs:
1 was troubled with catarrh ot the
bead for many years. It aUccted my
sense ot smell, hearing and sight, I
spent lots ot money with doctors and
lite use ot local applications to relieve
me but to no purpose, until my atten
tion was called to the wonderful effects
ot Peruna,
" I must say that I met with most
surprising and satisfactory results.
Peruna took hold of the complaint and
drove It entirely out of my system.
"Although well along toward the
allotted span of man's life I am
pleased as a child over the results, and
feel like a young man again." J. V.
Fuller.
Such letters as the above are not used
for publication except by the writiten
permission of the writer.
A pamphlet filled with such letters
will bo sent to nny address free. This
book should be read by all who doubt
the curability of catnrrh.
If you do not receive promptand sat
isfactory res-tilts from the use of Pe
runa write nt-oncc to Dr. llartman. giv

he will lie pleased to give you Ii is val

THE NEED OF A STIMULANT.
The digestive organs, the liver, the kidneys and bowels lose
their effectiveness at times and need help. At such a time a stimu
lating, cleansing and regulating medicine is of priceless value because
serious diseases spring from neglected disorders in these organs. For
this purpose there is no better medicine on earth than Prickly Ash
Bitters, the great regulating system tonic, bowel and blood purifier.
The uniform success of this remedy in correcting disturbance in the system isduetoits
four-fold cleansing and strengthening effect. It is a kidney remedy of superior merit. It is a
successful liver medicine. It tones up the digestive process in the stomach. It purifies
and regulates the bowels. By removing obstructions and impurities in the blood, liver
and bowels and strengthening the digestion, the whole internal organism is improved, and
the weak, despondent victim feels at once a brightening up in body and brain, renewed
energy, snap, vim and activity.
As a household remedy to relieve indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn, bad breath,
belching, flatulence, constipation and for keeping the system in order it is invaluable.
