How to Keep House.
With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life , its big enjoyments and
its smaller comforts , there is an offset
or antithesis which we have to con
tend with in the form of aches and
pains. In some way and by some
means every one has a touch of them
in some form at some time. Trilling
as seme of them may be , the risk is
that they will grow to something great
er and rack the system with constant
torture. There is nothing , therefore ,
bf this kind that we have a right to
trifle with. Taken in time , the worst
forms of pains and aches arc easily
subdued and cured by the free use of
St. Jacobs Oil. No well regulated
household should be without a bottle
of this great remedy for pain. It is
the specific virtue of penetration in
St. Jacobs Oil that carries it right to
the pain spot and effects a prompt
cure even In the most painful cases of
Rheumatism. Neuralgia , Lumbago ,
SchUica. You want it also in the house
at all times for hurts , cuts and
wounds , and the house that always
has it keeps up a sort of insurance
against pain.
Another club .woman , Mrs.
Haute , of Edgerton , Wis. , tells
how she was cured of irregular ! *
ties and uterine trouble , terrible
pains and backache , by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
"DEAR Mr.s. PIKKHAM : Awhile
ago my health "began to fail because of
female troubles ! The doctor did not
help me. I remembered that my mother
had used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound on many oc
casions for irregularities and uterine
troubles , and I felt sure that it could
i ot harm me at any rate to give it a
trial.
" I was certainly glad to find that
within a week I felt much better , the
terrible pains in the back and side
were beginning1 to cease , and at the
time of menstruation I did not have
nearly as serious a time as heretofore ,
BO I continued its use for two months ,
and at the end of that time I was like
a new -woman. I really have never
felt better in my life , have not had a
sick headache since , and weigh 20
pounds more than I ever did , so I un
hesitatingly recommend your medi
cine. " MKS. MAY HAULE , Edgerton ,

ftoisca that Attract Snakes.
It is a noiseless fact that there are
certain kinds of noises which attract
snakes. For instance , the whirr of the
moving machine , instead of scaring
tlie.se reptiles , as might be supposed ,
seems both to allure them and enrage
them,1 and they almost invariably dart
toward it , rearing themselves in front
of the machine , which , of course ,
promptly chops off their heads. In six
months so many as 320 cobras alone
have thus been slaughtered on a farm
in India.

"From my personal experience with Peruna I
am satisfied it is a very fine remedy for catarrhal
affections , whether of the head , lungs , stomacher
or pelvic organs. It cures colds quickly , and a
few doses taken after undue exposure prevents
illness.
"Some of the patrolmen under me have also
found great relief from Peruna. It has cured
chronic cases of kidney and bladder troubles ,
restored men suffering from indigestion and rheu

honest , reliable medicine , hence I fully endorse

Catarrh of the kidneys is very com

People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic , hoping to get better.
They never once think of catarrh. Kid

associated in the minds of the people ,
and. alas , it is not very often associated
in the minds of the physicians. Too
