PERUNA PRAISED. MRS. ESTHER M. MILNER. Box 821, DeGraff, Ohia. Dr. 8. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. D*ar Sir ' I was a terrible sufferer from pelvic weakness and baa headache continuously. I was not able to dj my housework for myself and husbsnd. I wrote ycu and described my condi tion rb nearly as possible. You recom mended Peruna. I took four bottles of it and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends with the ▼ery best of results. Esther M. Milner. Vtry ft w of the great multitude of women who have been relieved of some pelvic disease or weakness by Peruna ever consent to give • testimonial to be read by the public. ' There are, however, a few courage ous, self sacrificing women who will for the sake of tbeir suffering sisters allow their cures to be published. Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her gratitude for her restoration to health she is willing that the women of the whole world should know it. A chronic invalid brought back to health is no small matter. Words are inadequate to express complete gratitude. A GRATEFUL LITTER TO DR. HARTMAN Like a Unn. "I want to get an alarm clock," said the customer. "Here's one of silver plate for $10," ■aid the clerk. "Too high." "Well, here's one made of nickel for »6." "Too high yet" "Here's one made of gun metal for |2." "Gun metnl? That sounds all right. I want It for my 12-year-old boy, and If It sounds anything like a gun when It goes off in the morning I guess It's what I want."—Yonkers Statesman. After a Fashion. "I presume," said his old friend, "now that you have a young man as an assist ant pastor, you divide th* parish work with him."

"Doctor," asked the caller with the bad ly inflamed eye, "what will it cost to tak* this grain of sand out of my eye?"

A writer In Harper's Weekly quotes an nmustng story attributed to Dr. nice of Springfield, apropos of the recent meeting of railroad men and their law yers to find out what the new rate law really means. Dr. Rice, it seems, used to tell of a young Methodist who went forth from Wllbraham Academy to preach his trial sermon. "What was your text?" he was asked when be came back. "How shall fe escape If ye neglect •o great a salvation?" "A good text—how did you handle itr "First, I showed 'em how great this salvation Is, then I showed 'em how tq •scape If they neglected it."

Ipopui ©nee It was long ago discovered that the natural color of pure water is blue and i jnot white. The green and yellow tints 1 I found In water are due to extraneous substances. Tremendous quantities of coal will be required to run the turbine liner Lusitania'a englues. The ship's Indi cated horse power Is 65,000, which will mean a consumption of not less than 435 tons of steam each hour and a corresponding consumption of fifty tons of coal in the same time. This would work out a total of 1,200 tons of coal a day. , For an artificial rubber a German authority recommends mixing an In fusion of Carragheen moss with starch, and drying ou a slightly oiled metal plate. When the transparent sheet pro duced Is broken up, It softens In cold water, and on subsequent beating It forms a thick gummy substance, which may be used for thickening paint or for many of the purposes of rubber. The asteroids or minor planets, of which nearly 600 have been recorded since the beginning of the nineteenth century, have been supposed to form a ring In the space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One discovered on Feb. 22 of this year, however, has a unique Interest in having been proven to be beyond Jupiter, Its mean dis tance from the sun being 5.25 to Jupi ter's 6.20, while Its aphelion distance —6.151—exceeds that of Jupiter by nearly the earth's distance from the sun. All substances, even eggs, are poison ous when they are Injected In certain quantities Into the circulatory system of an animal. A French Investigator has taken the powdered yolk of a duck's egg, treated It with a 20 per cent solution of salt and Injected it Into the veins of an animal until it died. Iu order to kill a rabbit fifty-five grains of the substance were required for each pound of the rabbit's weight. The yolk of a hen's egg Is less poisonous, but that of a turtle more so, than that of a duck. The albumen of eggs Is also poisonous. In Germany some Interesting experi ments have recently been made In the protection of orchard trees against night frosts by means of fumigation. A part of an orchard In bloom was thus successfully guarded against an April frost by the dense smoke of naptbalene. But the experiment was very expensive, 50 kilograms of naptb alene being consumed by seven fiâmes in one hour. Later a new preparation of chemicals was tried, producing comparatively large volume of smoke with the expenditure of only 2 kilo grams of the material per hour.» These trials are under the direction of i experimental gardening association. DIETS AND THE DOCTORS. Scarcely an Article of Food that Is Not Condemned, What with the vegetarians who eat no meat and the rheumatic mitYrtrs who eat no fruit and the gou'.y wto tak«; no nitrogen if they know it end the dyspeptics who eat only IcoJiess foods, lite stands to lose one >f its < li'ef joys, a square meal, says the Midhal Journal.

Readers and thinkers are deeply Influenced by chemical symtcls and It Is not rare for a pallid dyspep tic of therculosls tendencies to endeavor to practice the economies of metabolism Ingeniously set forth by some of the physiological chemists. It Is high time somebody raised a voice In protest, for surely no people stand In so little need of this counsel as do ours.

It would certainly be dlUljult to construct any scheme of diet which the profession would agree. There Is scarcely an article but finds condemnation somewhere among us. Tbo banana, dear to childhood, is de nounced by the peedlatrlst as uuwnole some, though whole populations live upon It; while no printed diet list would include pork and bacon, wbich Dr. Woods Hutchinson insists are the keystones of our national greatness. Even In the dietetics of disease—this rather than health being our cbo<cn realm—utter confusion and disagree I. mfnt reign. Chemical formulas of hor rifylng elaboration lead one to condemn red meat In gout, another to pronounce It a nutriment readily assimilable and easily disposed of. And the quarrels over foodstuffs permissible to the rheu matic are equaled only by those over enrbohydrates In grave diabetes.

Two of the older girls had babies in their anus, accord ing to the Indianapolis Star. People on the car did not know whether it was an orphans' home picnic or a Sun day school convention. "Beg pardon, lady," said the con- ; ductor, "but you have given me only i eight tickets." "Didn't know you charged for babe« In arms," said the little woman, s"he kept her eye on all other members of her party. "But there are nine without them," said the conductor, apologetically. Per haps he really thought the woman had only eight tickets. "Stand up, children," commanded the little womau. She was imperious in her command, and immediately after her order to stand up they all arose to their feet Counting them one by one. she pres ently came to a little boy of about 8 years old, and, pointing her finger at him, she said: "Sammy, I thought you stayed at home with the rest of the children."

"No," said the young woman, "I am not" "I hope you will excuse me," he ex plained. "I am here to meet a Miss Blake. She Is my cousin. I have never seen her. My sister Kate Is the only member of our family who knows her, and she couldn't come. She told me would know Jennie because she Is so pretty. 'Just pick out the prettiest girl In the station and you'll be sure to strike Jennie,' she said." The young woman blushed, the young man sighed. "I don't know who to ask next," he said. "There doesn't seem to be any body else in the whole shooting match that comes up to the description. 1 guess Jennie didn't come." A tall girl In brown sat beside the girl In blue. She got up and glared at the young man. "She did," said the girl In brown. "Oh, Lord," said he, "are you " "I am," said the girl in brown.

"'What are they?'

I don't understand,' said the trav eler. 'To perform ' ' 'To transact their acts,' explained Uriel. To make their duties.' " 'Ah, yes !' Interrupted the traveler. 'You mean, to do their doings.'

While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable r -n i i • •. . , — sj-inptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated. Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en tire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. m Last Summer I had a severe attaok of Inflamma tory Rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried differ ent kinds of liniments and medioines whloh seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading a paper I saw an adver tisement of S. S. S. lor Rheumatism. I deoided to give it a trial, which I did at onoe. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to take it regularly until I was en tirely oured. I now feel better than I have fo* years. CHAS. E. CJ1LDERSLEEVE. 613 32nd Street, Newport News, Va. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blood, aud the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather ; because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism cau be per manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect ou the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, if cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up every part of the body by its fine tonic properties. While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re duces all inflammation, relieves pain aud completely cures Rheumatism in every form—Muscular, Inflamma tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge the blood of every particle of the poison.
