The old fashioned way of dosing a weak fltomaoh or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong Dr. Shooptirst pointed out this error. Thin is why his prescription DT.

It isn't so difficult, says Dr. Khoop, to strengthen a weak Stom ach, Heart or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, th en these organs must sure ly falter. Those vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend I)J. Shoop's Restorative. Test it a few days, and see!

Bulgaria is the nearest approach to a peasant commonwealth which the world has known In modern times. There is not a Bulgarian Slav who is not the owner of a plot of land upon which he lives and out of which he gets his own livelihood by his own labor. Large landowners are almost un known. The few men of wealth In the country are mostly of foreign birth or descent, and even they would not be counted as wealthy according to the standard of other European coun tries. The 8mall landowners, who form the vast majority of the popnlatlon, are peasant born and peasant bred. They are extremely thrifty. Tbey are eon tent with very plain food. They wear the same sheepskin garments from year to year, only turning their coats inside out with the changes of the season. Whole families, even of well to do peasants, sleep in the same room upon mats stretched out on the floor. Tbey live under conditions of dirt and dis comfort which no British or German or French laborer would tolerate for a week. Yet. notwithstanding their disregard of the simplest sanitary ar rangements, they grow up singularly strong and healthy. Moreover, they are free from the ir ritation caused among other laborers, overworked If not underpaid, by the spectacle of neighbors living In afflu ence and ease without any necessity to curtail their expenditure. Rich men are black Rwans In Bulgaria. I was told by a foreign banker in Sofia who had traded for many years in the country that he doubted greatly whether there were r" fty men in all the rural districts wbo had net in comes of $5,000 a year.—London Illus trated Newa. THORNTON HAINS ON WITNESS STAND Defendant in Murder Case Tes tifies in His Own Betiall.* Flushing, N. Y., Jan. 5.—Thornton Jenkins Hains took the witness stand in his own defense of the charge that ho was a principal with his brother, Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., in the killing of William E. Annls and in a snappy manner related, under coun sel's interrogations, the story of his llfe^hnd Captain Hains' marital mis fortunes that led to the slaying of An nls. Sometimes the defendant made his answer before the district attor ney could ent«r objections to the line of Interrogation. He had told of the sudden appearance of Captain Hains In his home on the Sunday in May and of the excitement that the cap tain was laboring under because of what his wife had told iiim concerning Annls. The early part of the session was occupied with the conclusion of the cross-examination of General Peter C. Hains, who declared that the mental condition of Captain Haine showed improvement from May 31 to Aug. 12, when he was served with his wife's cross bill to the suit for a divorce. The general declared that the cross bill contained such charges against Captain Hains that his mind was again shocked and there was a recur rence of his mental weakness.

Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Perona is an EXCELLENT CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor's critics have disputed the dootor'a claim as to the efficacy of Peruna. Since the ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret, what do the modi* cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed? Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OB GOLDEN SEAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, hror.ic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liven, and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, C0RYDALIS FORMOSA, is classed In tilt United States Dispensatory as a tonic. CEDS0N SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been veiy largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Our Peruna Tablet Is Peruna With Fluid Removed. MILLSPAUGH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastric and vaso motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general. In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease and asthma. These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Pe runa is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the enthusiastic confidence of the highest authorities obtainable, brought together in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by ample quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD. The General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant aaU efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com* ponent parts are known to them to b» wholesome and tndy beneficial in effect acceptable to the system and gentle, ye§ prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its e*» cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and £lixir of Senna, the California Fig Syruji Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative (or its remark able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senn* :s given the preference by the Well-informed To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggust*. Price fifty cents per botHk. '121/2c 10c Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys entery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredient! of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder. OF HYDRASTIS, BARTHOLOW SAYS it is applicable to stomatitis (catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouthi, follicular pharyngitis caurrh of the pharynx), chronic coryza (catarrh of the head). This writer classes hydrastis as a stomachic tonic, useful in atonic dyspepsia (chronic gastric catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of tha intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronic Bright's disease), catarrh of tho bladder, and catarrh of other pelvic organs. BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chrooifc catarrh of the bladder, chronic bronchitis 'catarrh of the bronchial tubes). BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBEB, an ingredient of Peruna, pro motes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Use ful in chronic nasal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat. It also re lieves hoarseness. Useful in atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in chronic catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea, and chronic bronchial affections.
