MALARIA—MISERY,
A Case Too Often Seen in
Malarious Sections,
He was a very raw-boned, bard
handed farmer, less than 50 years
of age, but with a sallow and wiz
ened complexion, peculiar to 70,
just such a mixture of malaria
and manhood as the Mississippi
valley only can furnish—hardy,
horny, homely and honest. He
was unhitching from rickety wag
on an old horse so knobby and
loose-jointed that the oft-mended
harness seemed necessary to hold
it together. A two-roomed, mud
chinked log house, a faded and
slattern woman, a troop of under
fed, frowzy children, some long
legged chickens, a tamerack swamp
stretching away in all directions—
these complete the picture, and
ague had done it all. It had thus
changed stalwart manhood and
healthy womanhood to this gaunt
ghastliness. Thriftbecame squalor
and plenty poverty; weeds and
shrubs overran well tilled fields
and dismal untidiness had pervad
ed every nook and cranny of the
once well-kept premises of Squire
-of——La. While the Squire
proceeded unhitching, the woman,
his wife, began lifting out of the
wagon the few groceries which he
had brought from the village only
a few ihiles away. “Where’s the
bottle of quinine?” she asked with
a querulous, rasping voice. “You
didn’t go and forget that, did you?”
“No, I did not exactly forget it,
or get it, either. The drugstore
man showed me a new medicine
for malaria which, he says, is a
great deal better than quinine, so
I bought it. I have spent one
farm buying quinine and I’m get
ting tired of it.” “Well, we’ll try
it, but 1 haven’t a particle of faith
in the new fangled stuff. I should
think they could find a better name
than Pe-ru-na,” she said, spelling
out the name on the bottle.
Three years later Squire
was seated on the frcnt veranda of
his new house; a pair of prancing
steeds and a carriage stand before
the door. The Squire looks 20
years younger than when we first
saw him. No one would recognize
the place or its inhabitants—a
buxom, happy wife, strong and
■ ]
healthy children, a well-stocked
farm, waving meadows, where once
dreary swamps festered disease.
What has wrought the change?
Hear the Squire’s answer: “Re
stored health did it. As soon as
I began the use of Pe-ru-na instead
of quinine we all began at once to
regain our health, our spirits, our
ambition, our enterprise and our
strength. All these malaria had
taken away from us. Pe-ru-na
has cleansed our systems of all
malarial poison and keep us from
having another attack. This is the
whole story. Pe-ru-na did it. It
has also done the same thing for
our neighbors. Malaria brings
disaster and destruction—Pe-ru-na
brings health and success. But,
by the way, speaking of Pe-ru-na
and malaria, everyone should have
a copy of an illustrated book on
malaria published by the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company of
Columbus, Ohio. They send it
free to any one. I haven’t got
the words to cell you what this
book does about Pe-ru-na and
malaria,”
