MISS HELEN WHITMAN.
Miss Helen Whitman , 308 % Grand avenue , Milwaukee , Wis. , writes :
" There is nothing like Peruna for that tired feeling , which gives
you no ambition for work or play. After a prolonged illness , about
a year ago I felt unable to regain my health , but four bottles o/Pe-
runa made a wonderful change and restored me to perfect health.
As long as you keep your blood in good condition you are all right ,
and Peruna seems to fill the veins with pure , healthful blood. I
thoroughly endorse it. '
Have you got nerves ? Well , you
ought to have uerves. But they oupht
to be strong nerves , good nerves. Does
-your hand tremble ? You are living too
fast. Does your heart flutter at times ?
( You had better call a halt. Americans
live too fast. They crowd too much into
a single day. They have too little 'ei-
ure. The hospitals and insane asylums
are filling up. The quiet , pastoral scenes
ol yore are becoming rare. It's time
that we quit this sort of business.
The flying frog is found in Borneo.
He uses an expansive membrane on
each of his feet in sailing from tree
to tree. The web enables him to do
this in the same way as the wings of
.our modern flying machines enable
their inventors to remain lor maite
in the air.
t The farmers of India , when fuel is
scarce , cook an egg without fire. The
egg is placed in a sling and whirled
.around for about five minutes , until
the heat generated by the motion has
cooked it.

How to Get Strong Nerves.
First , repair the iujury already done
to your nerves. The way to do this is to
do exactly as did Mattie B. Curtis. Sec
retary of Legion of Loyal Women , Hotel
Salein , Boston , Mass. She said in a re
cent letter : " 1 suffered for over a year
with general weakness and debility man
ifested in severe headache and backache ,
I took four bottles of Peruna , and- for
two months have been entirely free
from these maladies. "
Despite the handicap of having to
speak from a wheel chair , having
been stricken witti paralysis some

ings in Spokane , Wash , Dr. Shep-
hardson is of the Baptist persuasion.
His meetings are attended Vjy large
crowds every afternoon and evening.

Nervous Prostration.
Thousands of cases might be quoted
in which Peruna has been used to rescue
people from the perdition of deranged
nerves , and put them on the good , solid
foundation of health. The County Au
ditor of Erie County , New York , Hon.
John W. Neff. in a recent letter written
at Buffalo , Isew York , stated : "I was
persuaded by a friend to try a bottle of
your great nerve tonic , Peruna , and the
results were so gratifying that I am
more than pleased to recommend it. "
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves ,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried it has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. W. Timberlake , of Lynchburg ,
Va. , who , in a recent letter , made use of
the following words : "I always take a
dose of Peruna after business hours , as
it is .a great thing for the nerves. There
is no better spring tonic , and I have
used about all of them. "
Catarrh In. Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. A short course of Pe-
runa , assisted by the balmy air of spring ,
will cure old , stubborn cases of catarrh
that have resisted treatment for years.
Everybody should have a copy of Dr.
Hartmnn's latest book on catarrh. Ad

Mrs. Xiulu Larrner , Stoughton , Wis. ,
says :
"For two years I suffered with nerv
ous trouble ant ]

until it seemed that
there was nothing
to me but a bundle ,
of nerves. I was
very irritable ,
could not sleep ,
rest or compose
myself , and was-
certainly unfit to
take care of a
household. I took
nerve tonics and

fit. When I began
taking Peruna I grew steadily better , my
nerves grew stronger , uiy rest was no
longer fitful , and to-day I consider my
self in perfect health and strength. My.
recovery was slow Tjut sure , but I
persevered and was rewarded by perfect
health. " Mrs. Lulu Larmer.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna ,
write at once to Dr. Harturan , giving a
full statement of your case , and he will
be pleased to give you his -valuable ad-

At a medical college some students
were being questioned in anatomy ,

One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of
information as to right living and the best methods of promoting
health and happiness. With proper knowledge , each hour of
recreation , of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most
wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents
when needed. With the well-informed , medicinal agents are used
only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of
cleansing the system effectually , when bilious or constipated , haa
long been known , yet until within recent years it v/as necessary
to resort to oils , salts , extracts of roots , barks and other cathartics
which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly
increased quantities.
Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative
end carminative principles were to be found in certain plants ,
principally in the leaves , the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered
a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and
of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form
most acceptable to.the system and the remedy became known as
Syrup of Figs as figs were used , with the plants , in making it ,
because of their agreeable taste.
This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use a the
best of family laxatives , because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses
and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural to
functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon too
tinued when it is no longer required. o
All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember
that It is the one remedy which physicians and parents wen-informed
approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones
alike enjoy , because of its pleasant flavor , its gentle action and its
beneficial eSects. * -
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists , at the regular price
of fifty cents per bottle , in original packages only , having the name of
the remedy Syrup of Figs and the full name of the Company
California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.

REAL JOY OF LIVING.
Philosophy of Living for Somethiag
Higher and Better than Self.
Those of us who are plodding along
through life in a unrriw , and , there
fore , selfish , , way , would do well to
look ourselves over every now and
then und question whether fhere is as
great satisfaction in living only for
ourselves : is there might be in taking
others into our lives. Each of us owes
something to those near and dear to
us , and to the world. There is a com
munity of interest between all man
kind that no one of us can ignore and
end' our days in satisfaction.
No man who lived solely for himself
ever went to his grave feeling that he
would be lonelier confined in that liar-
row strip of earth than he had been
while above it. If the fundamentals
of bis character were human , he
looked back on his past with keenest
regret that he could not live it over
again and be of the world : if they
were not if he was without that "one
touch of nature that makes the whoie
world kin" he lucked the capacity to
realize what he had missed in isolat
ing himself from the friendships , the
handgrasps and the love that inak < .
life worth living. lie knew that ho
bad missed something that had round
ed out other lives better than his , but
he did uot know just what it was.
Fortunately few men are of that
type ; Most of us have a sunny , jroiiial
side to our nature , even though it is
often concealed or roughened by th"
cares of business or the sorrows of al'-
lliction. Yet if we would only stop to
think how much we might help othfn-fc
to bear their burden by brightening
up ourselves , by inspiring others with
good cheer and cordial feelings , it is
certain that each of us In his way
could contribute more than we do to
ward the happiness and contentim-nt
of all.
It should be left to selfish men to
hoard all the sunshine as a miser does
his gold and to live long enough to
know the bitter disappointments that
come to those who have made their
own way in the world regardless of
others. We should realize , before it is
too late , what an invaluable posses
sion a host of friendships are grow
ing more precious with each year.
They cannot be formed at the close of
life. The day to make them is not
after the cares of life are over , but
while we arc in the midst of the
struggle , when the seed o'f good fel
lowship sinks deep and takes root in
fertile , earthy ground , then it is that
we can prepare the harvest of price
less recollections we are to reap in
later life
"Did anyone ever call him Tom ? "
asked a philosopher The other day ,
speaking of a man of great wealth.
"No no one ever knew him well
enough for that , " was the reply.
"Then I'm sorry for him. He'll be
n lonely man when 'he most 'needs com
pany , "
so it will be for those of us
who think we must trudge along
through the world by ourselves that
the path isn't wide enough for com
pany by our side , to share the jc-ys of
comradeship.
