Cushman of Viola i HOT WEATHER AND CONSTIPATION. There Is a c!o*o conn - ;ion between hut w either and const , 'at- a. People ; do not seem to nr.der--.ar.il this, and even doctors are slow :n comprehend ins it. Constipation depends mainly on dry ness of the bowels. Ptiy.tig the hot weather the fluids of the body are drained away in perspir . n. I'nles* considerable extra fiui i- drunk. tu internal organs are deprived of their usual amount of flui 1. The fluids usually used by the b< - sto keep the contents moist, are a!" . ,-d into the b'.ocd and evaporated on the surface of the body, to cool the b<>dy during the hot weather. Honce, constipation. It is very unfortunate indeed, for any one to be obliged totak- drastic cathar tics to relieve- constipat -i. Of course drastic cathartics will an out the bowels, but the habit of constipation remains just the same. Even a little wi.rse. If a mild and gentle st -infant of the bowel* is used, combiui and with a tonic that lias the doubleeflfcv;, -f stimulating the natural peristaltic ion of the bowels, as well as attr; ting to the t >wels the necessary p i >u of fluids, if such a remedy could 1 devised it would be of great value •<> the people during the hot weather. It is believed that IVrnna comes nearer to being a perfect remedy in this particular than any other popular household remedy. Taken according to the directions ou the bottl -, it not only increases the app> t.: and gives strength to the nervous tem, but it produces a slight aetion of the bowels, overcoming constipation without pro dueir. _ a cathartic action. We are in receipt of a great many let ters confirming the statements marta above. One will suffice for illustration t Mr. William Eckert, 278 North Eight eenth St., Columbus, Ohio, writes: “I have been afflicted w th chronlo constipation for twenty-five years. “About six months ago 1 was feeling badly, and concluded to use Peruna a* a tonic. To my surprts-. before I had finished the first lx>ttl" of Peruna I noted that my bowels were moving regularly, without any physic. From that time to this my constipation ha* disappeared. Pernna has not only built me up, but it has cured me of chronlo constipation.” OBITUARY After a ah' rt illneu of only *ix day* Stephen M.
