PE-RU-NA CURES CATARRH
OF KIDNEYS EVERY TIME.
DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED
Pe-ru-na Creating a National Sensation in the Cure
of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys.
Major T. II. Mars, of the First Wiscon
sin Cavalry regiment, writes from 1425
Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the fol
lowing letter:
••For years I suffered with catarrh of
the kidneys contracted in the army.
Medicine did not help me any until a
comrade who had been helped by Pe
runa advised me to try it. I bought
some at once, and soon found blessed
relief. I kept taking it four months,
and am now well and strong and feet
better than I have done for the past
twenty years, thanks to Peruna.”—
T. H. Mars.
Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City,
Ind., says: “My kidney trouble is much
better. I have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi
cine I am using. I recommend Peruna
to everybody and some have commenced
to use it. The folks all say that if Dr.
Hartman’s medicine cures me it must
be great.”—John Vance.
Mr. J. Brake, of Petrolea, Ontario,
Canada writes: “Four years ago l
had a severe attack of Bright’s disease,
which brought me so low the doctor
said nothing more could be done for
me. I began to take Peruna and
Manafin, and in three months I was
a well man and have continued so
ever since."—J. Brake.
At the appearance of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should
be taken.
This remedy
strikes at
once the
very root of
the disease.
It at once re
lieves the ca
tarrhal kid
neys of the
stagnant
blood, p r e -
v e n ting
the escape of
serum from
the blood.
Peruna stimulates the kidneys to
excrete from the blood the accumu
lating poison, and thus prevents the
convulsions which are sure to follow if
the poisons are allowed to remain. It
gives great vigor to the heart’s action
and digestive system, both of which are
apt to fail rapidly in this disease.
Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys
simply because .t cures catarrh where
ever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis. '

1 Mull's Grape Tonic Cures Constipation.
When the sewer of a city becomes stopped up, the refuse backs
into the streets where it decays and rots, spreading disease
i ~ creating germs throughout the entire city.
An epidemic of sickness follows. It is the
same way when the bowels fail to work.
The undigested food backs into the system
and there it rots and decays. From this
I festering mass the blood saps up all the dis
! 'ease germs, and at every heart beat carries |
! them to every tissue,just as the water works
l ' of a city forces impure water into every
house. The only way to cure a condition
| like this is to cure the constipation. Pills
" and the ordinary cathartics will do no good.
MULL’S GRAPE TONIC
Is a crushed fruit tonic-laxative
which permanently cures the affliction.
The tonic properties contained in the grape
go into every afflicted tissue and creates
strength and health. It will quickly restore lost flesh and make
rich, red blood. As a laxative its action is immediate and posi
tive, gentle and natural. MuH’« Crape Tonic Is guaranteed or money back.

Bangor Man's Joke !
On Western Visitor.
A man from Minneapolis who had
been spending a few days at one of
the Maine coast resorts came to Ban
gor this week and in conversation
with a friend in a hotel cafe here re
marked that he had enjoyed his visit
to the shore, but that he had not
found lobsters as plentiful there as ho
had expected.
“Lobsters? Why, that's queer,” re
sponded the Bangor man. “Why, the
woods are full of them, so to speak.
Come down to my place at Hancock
Point and I’ll give you your fill of
them.”
“Many down there?” queried the
Westerner.
“Many?” The Bangor man regarded
his questioner with surprise, reply
ing: “Why, man, lobsters are so
thick down there that they’ve got to
be a nuisance. Have to go out morn
ings and sweep them off the paths—
even climb up on the porch. Beastly
nuisance when you don’t care for
them, you know.”
The man from the West looked
dazed, but promised to accompany the
Bangorean to Hancock Point next
day. there to help repel the invasion
of lobsters. The Bangor man went to
the telegraph office and sent this mes
sage to his wife at Hancock Point:
"Buy all the lobsters within ten
miles, and scatter them about the
lawn, paths and porches.”
Next day, when ihe joker and his
t
guest arrived at the cottage, the whole
place had been planted with green
and squirming crustaceans, and the
fun began the minute they entered the
walk. The Bangor man kicked some
thing out of his path.
"What's that?” asked the guest.
“Oh, that's one of those confounded
lobsters,” was the calm reply. A little
further on more lobsters wriggled
over the walk, and the cottager de
clared, in disgusted tones, that it was
pretty tough when a man couldn't get
into his own house without climbing
over a lot of slimy lobsters. The
Westerner's eyes started from their
sockets, but when he got to the vine
covered porch entrance he nearly
fainted.
Two enormous lobsters were cling
ing by their claws to the trellis, and,
grabbing one of them, the host re
marked:
“They'll be in my bedroom next—
here, this one will make a good broil
for you! ”
The big lobster was broiled, and the
man from Minneapolis ate it with
keen delight. Next day he ate others
and when he got back to Bangor he
declared solemnly:
"I never would have believed it had
I not seen them with my own eyes.”

Mis Dignity and Hat
Were Both in Collapse.
______
A gale was howling across the
square when a large, portly man came
around the corner. He was erect and
nis rotund figure had a military poise,
an air of dignity, which was imposing.
Suddenly a wild gust seized his
shining hat and whirled it off. It shot
up into the air and described circles
in the manner of M. Santos-Dumont's
airship. Then it flew across the street
and fell into a puddle of muddy water.
The dignified citizen gazed at, the
flight of his hat in a bewildered fash
ion. When it fell to the ground he
cantered gently after it. As he neared
it he bent eagerly forward. His hand
almost touched the precious tile, when
swoop came another gust and snatch
ed the unfortunate hat, which went
rolling off,' churning the muddy waters
of the gutter like the screw of a
steamer.
The owner of the hat looked wrath
fully after it and then started in pur
suit on a mad gallop. Swiftly along
the square rolled the hat. Suddenly
in the midst of his swift course the
pursuer stepped on a piece of orange
peel, grasped wildly at the air and
fell with a despairing splash.
Shorn of all his dignity, the unhappy
man slowly rose, looked around to
see if he was observed, then carefully
examined his injured raiment. From
collar to waist his frock coat had
split. Twenty yards ahead, peacefully
reposing by the curbstone, lay the In
nocent cause of all his misfortunes.
With an air of grim determination
he strode toward it. The hat remained
coyly resting on the edge of a puddle.
The portly person gazed down at the
water-logged, mud-covered tile, and
then at. his own ruined raiment.
Just then, as if inspired by a de
mon of mischief, the hat began to
sway with a passing gust. This was
too much. Gathering himself to
gether, the tat man made a mighty
leap and landed both feet squarely
on the hat. He peered anxiously
around to see If he was observed, and
then, turning up his coat collar, strode
away, leaving the fragments of what
had once been a silk hat reposing In
the gutter.—The Scotsman.
Incident Too Much
For Deacon’s Temper.
“I never was one to talk against my
neighbors,” said Miss ’Dosia Ann Pine,
who had dropped in by the back way
to borrow a cupful of brown sugar
from Mrs. Judge Tubman, "but I can’t
help thinkin’ that Deacon ’Gustus
Stang is a little mite too hasty and
sarcastic in expressin’ himself for a
man of his position and professions.
“Why, yesterday afternoon—I was
right there, myself, passin’ the time o’
day with Mis Stang, and saw it all—
a stand of his bees swarmed and
lodged on a limb of the ox-heart
cherry tree on top of the upper off-set.
The Deacon went to work to hive ’em,
first gettin’ on an up-ended barrel and
reachin’ up and cuttin’ off the limb
with the bees all bunched up on it.
At that very instant, if you’ll believe
me, the head of the barrel caved in
and over it whopped, and fell off’m
the off-set with the Deacon inside, and
went rollin’ and bouncin’ down the
long stone steps, and slammed against
the hitchin’-post at the foot of the
stairs with a crash that busted the
•_ -
barrel all to staves arid wrung a great
groan from the Deacon, and left him
pretty near wrapped around the hitch
iu’-post, with the infuriated bees a
stabbin’ at him like I'm-sure-I-don’t
know-what. Hi Price was drivin’ by
with his tin-peddler’s cart and blind
horse, and he stopped and called out,
as was natural:
“ ‘Land o’ Goshen, Deacon ’Gustus!
Are you hurt?’
"‘No, contrive ye!’ roared the Dea
con, as snappish, I’ll be bound, as an
alligator. ‘No, I ain’t! This is the
way I laugh! I’m tickled gol-rammed
near to death over the joke I’ve just
played on the bees!’
“Of course, he had a good deal of
provocation, looking at it in some
ways, but I contend that he’d better
have restrained himself long enough
to have counted a hundred before he
spoke; though, of course, it ain’t
really for me to judge.”—Puck.
Pedigree never filled a hungry man’s
stomach.
THE ANCIENT COPTIC FAITH.
Egypt Now the Center of This Form
of Worship.
In Westminster abbey, after the
coronation of King Edward, a silver
votive cross was left by the Abys
sinian envoy, Ras Makonnen. It rep
resents the faith of the Coptic church,
the most debased in Christendom.
Egypt is the center of this faith, the
patriarch of Alexandria, as he is
called, living at Cairo. Not even the
priests understand the language of
the services, essentially the same as
that used by the Pharaohs, with a
mixture of the tongue of Homer. In
its ritual is found an admixture of
ancient Egyptian and Jewish cere
monial together with that of primitive
Christianity. Here ordination is con
ferred not by the laying on of hands,
but by breathing and the universal
kiss is interchanged among the con
gregation. Children may act as dea
cons and may receive the sacrament
—bread dipped in wine. In Abyssinia
the Jewish and Egyptian ritual is car
ried still further to excess. The ark
is the center of worship, which in
cludes dancing. The Jewish Sabbath
is observed. Distinction i3 drawn be
tween clean and unclean animals.
Polygamy also has lingered on. So
extreme is their belief in external
rites to wash away sin that the great
est festival of the year amounts to
an annual baptism of the whole na
tion. They have even canonised
Pilate because he washed his hands
and said: “I am innocent of the blood
of this just Man."
“CAPE BOYS” AND THEIR WAYS.
Nervous Passengers Would Not En
joy Their Style of Driving.
In South Africa the mail carts con
vey passengers for long distances. The
drivers of these vehicles are usually
“Cape Boys,” men of mixed parentage,
Hottentots, Griqua Koranna, with a
dash of the white man superadded.
They are first rate drivers and man
age their teams of six, eight and even
ten horses with extraordinary skill
and dexterity. Another colored boy
sits alongside the driver, wielding an
enormously long whip, which instru
ment he manages as deftly as a first
rate fiy-fisher does his rod and cast
ing line. Nevertheless, these Cape
boys are reckless folk, much addicted
to drink and inordinately vain of their
performances as Jehus. It is the fash
ion with them to start away from and
make the approach to the village inns
or baiting places, where they make
their halts, at a hard gallop. In this
way, owing to the drivers’ drinking
habits and the ordinary risks of bad
roads, accidents often happen, the
cart and its passengers are occasion
ally turned over, and broken bones
result. The cart itself is a two-wheel
ed tented carriage, having two or
three seats placed one behind the
other, the passengers invariably look
ing toward the horses. Baggage and
mails are strapped on behind, or, if
a regular coach is used, upon the top.
If man had no curiosity private de
tective offices would shut up busi
ness.
Our Millionaires and Britain’s.
For the year 1901 only fifteen per
10ns in all Great Britain paid tax on
incomes exceeding $250,000, and the
grand total of these fifteen Incomes
was $7,500,000.
As the Income tax assessors make
their inquest for large incomes very
learchlng, the interesting fact is estab
lished that the fifteen richest Britons
ire worth $187,500,000. This assumes
that their aggregate wealth yields
them 4 per cent per annum.
’l uere are at least two American cit
zens—John D. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie—each of whom is worth
more than the fifteen richest British
subjects combined. And there are
scores of American citizens whose In
:omos exceed the $500,000 a year, which
is the average income of the Britain’s
first fifteen.
The conclusion must not be Jumped
at that because of this tendency wealth
is more evenly distributed in Britain
than here. It sounds epigrammatic to
say that millionaires and tramps mul
tiply together, but It is not true. There
are fewer millionaires and at the same
time more paupers in John Bull’s is
land than in ^ncle Sam’s continental
anion.
The Influence of Women.
Back of every great worthy achieve
ment of man, find the woman—mother,
teacher, wife. They are there, con
tributing to the advancement of the
race, an Impetus only less than that
Df the divinity that did create us. I
have heard atavistic male creatures in
human semblance deplore the presence
of the "new woman,” the woman who
wishes, perhaps, to earn her own bread,
certainly to shape her own life and the
'ives of the children she will bring
into tho world, to take an equal part
with her brothers in the government
that taxes her, to broaden her mental
horizon until it shall include the best
thought of all lands and times. And
truly enough, such women are not for
lmeh men; they have outgrown their
rritlcs. Their business is to improve
the race by improving the individual
--and they are hard at it.—Detroit
Free Press.
Some men remain bachelors because
they are unable to choose between
beauty and intellect.
Many men would ratner race a Hun
gry lion than a wife after midnight.
