* ? ' Are Drugs Nec * Do Drugs Cii Can Natur< If people were born right and after-1 Wards lived right, there would be no f ] use for medicine. Every doctor knows 11 this. So do other well-informed people, j ] One thing more. When a person lives i wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by ] heredity, medicine can do only very ] U^litlle. Medicine cannot cure him. Only i \ charlatans claim that medicines will i cure disease. Medicines may palliate 1 symptoms. Medicines may urge the < powers of Nature to resist disease. Med- I icines sometimes arouse the efTorts of the < human body to right itself against de" * * " - 1 rangements. this is me mo?i iu?<. mm A, icineeando. A man accidentally puts his finger in -'^the fire. Instinctively he wets bis flnger ir . mouth, then blows on it for the t ig effect. This is no cure. He knows it very well. But it makes it feel better for the time being. People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if palliative is at hand the puins of indigestion can be mitigated, the throes of dyspepsia a&-uag?*d. The medicine can* not be said to have cured. It simply palliates disagreeable symptoms. The are most come through right living. Take Peruua, for instance. No one laims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia. Bat Peruna will stimulate the stomach to perform its function properly. Peruna will Increase the flow of digestive Balds, without which digestion cannot b* carried on at all. It will increase the relish of food, the appetite. It ia admitted that all this can be ooomplished by right living, bnt there s are so many people who either will not ? or do not know how to eat correctly that . " a tremendous amount of good can be ,' - done by the wise use of Peruna. f stomach that has been frequently based per for me the function of diges Hob very lazily. Such a etomacn suowb i the food to remain undigested for some time after it is swallowed. This leads to fermentation of the food. Sour stomach is the result. This goes on week after week, until the blood is poisoned with the products of fermentation. This condition is very apt to produce rheum* Stem. It is not claimed that Peruna will cure rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheumatism hut correct living. But it is I claimed that Peruna will assist a badly abused stomach to .perform its work. SENATOR TILLMAN'S PITCHFORK fl It into Taft Reception Committee 1 In Cotnmlla. J Columbia, October 24;?Sen- 1 ator Tillman has written a 1 sarcastic letter to the com- 1 mittee in charge of the Taft < dinner, to be given November 6. 1 This morning the following * copies of letters were in the ' mail. * Secretary's Office, Columbia jl Chamber of Commerce. Co-( 1 lumbia, October 22. 1909.? Hon H B R Tillman, Trenton, S. C. ' Dear Sir;?In order that the { committee in charge of the ar 1 f rangements for the visit of Presi1 nlona nAm QCUl lOlklliajr WiUjJicic ^/laiio nvn pending, will you kindly inform : this office if you will be present on that occasion, and if you expect to attend the luncheon to be given in his honor. Yours very truly, (Signed) C W Moorman, Sect k Senator Tillman's Reply. 1 b Trenton, October 23, 1909.? B'^Mr C W Moorman, Secretary F Chamber of Commerce, Co.1 lumbia, S. C. Dear Sir:?I have . your letter of October 22. I reI. v plied yesterday to a previous letter explaining the situation 1 in regard to me acting on the , reception committee on Novemr? ber 6, and I await your answer ~to that before deciding whether I will go to Columbia at all or not. As for attending the luncheon, I received an invitation some days ago, signed James A Hoyt, to attend the luncheon, accompanied with an invitation to 5 ? a tviio mov sena a cncciv avi viv. a mo m?*j \be a new way of conducting eijtertainments in South Carolina that will find favor in the future, but it is wholly contrary to all ideas of courtesy and self-resd cting hospitality that I have ever heard of in the State, and I do not propose to lend any aid or countenance to it. If the , city of Columbia is too poor to entertain the President decently, it ought not to attempt it; if it wants to ask contributions ffrom outsiders, that is a different thing; if it wants outsiders < :essary? ire Disease? j be Assisted? If a person would correct his habits, persist in right eating and temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach would right itself, the blood would rid itself ol [ho poison, and everything would be right. But as said before there are a multitudeof people who will notorcan not adopt right methods of living. Tc such people I'eruna is a boon. A dost tK'fore meals will assist the stomach t< io its work. This prevents fermenta lion 01 mo ioou, miuga iuuui uurma iigestion, and all the train of ills tba follow indigestion disappear. In other words, Peruna is helpful U those who live badly, or thoBe wh< have acquired some chronic weakness Peruna does not cure, bat it assists th< powers of Nature to bring about a care The whip does not increase the powe of the horse to pull a load, but judi ciously used it stimulates the horse t< use his powers at the right time, with out which he could nut have pulled th? load. This illustrates the effect of Pensna or any other good remedy upon the sys tern. Taken at the right time, it call forth the powers of the human systen to meet the en. roacfimcnts of disease and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends the diseased action. No one should ever attempt to substi tute medicine in the place of right liv ing. In the end such an attempt wil prove a disaster. But an occasional us of the right medicine at the right tim ia a godsend, and no reasonable persoi will undertake to deny it. Those who know how to use Pern a find it of untold valne. By and by th world will get wise enongh so tha through correct living no medicine a all will be needed. Bat that time ha not arrived. In the meantime, wbil the world is approaching that perfe< tion in which all medicine will be elim inated, Peruna is a handy remedy t have in the house. Slight derangements of tho stomach alight catarrhal attacks of the liver, th throat, bronchial tabes, lungs or bow el?; these attacks are sore to leaa t grave diseases, and can be averted b; the judicious use of Peruna. Wouldn't you like to read a few uo solicited testimonials from people vrh have used Peruna, and who stand read; to confirm the-above statements con oerning it. If so, address the Perun, Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbui Oh>o, and we will send some prepaid. bear the expense and insiders er joy the glory, that is anothe thing. I have known Mr Taf very pleasantly some eight c ten years, and I have dine with him quite often, both as ; ?uest and as a host, and I d not feel like encouraging th departure from South Care iina's reputation for decenc md hospitality, which this tram iction involves. I did not n >pond to Mr Hoyt's invitatior but treated it with silent con tempt But inasmuch as yo bave asked the point blan question, and it seems to be th official scheme to ask men t meet the President and hav them pay the expenses. I te you emphatically, No, I will nc attend the luncheon. Very respectfully, B R Tillman.

I Mail Mr Houses by Flashy Latai logues Build up Enormous Fortunes. The recent retirement of Mr I ; R P Sears, of Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago, after having . accumulated a fortune of twenty. 'five million dollars in twenty| : five years at the mail order , i business, leads The Charlotte i Observer to observe: "Many of ' our people who will read what j we are now writing have assisted him." In the opinion of ' this contemporary, a good part of Mr Sears' fortune should : "right now be invested in busi| ness enterprises in Charlotte and other North Carolina towns; should be paying taxes in part support of public schools ^ind State and municipal governments."^111^ Norfolk Virginian* Pilot says this is no doubt true, and that it is most probalby ; equally applicable to Virginia. a "But the citizen who passes by ? his home merchant and patronizes the distant mail order house," says The Virginian* Pilot," suffers a loss additional J to and more direct than that ? flowing from the sending away from home of capital which would otherwise be devoted to ? the upbuilding and development J of his own community and i State. In many cases he buys something which he does not * need simply because it looks like a bargain from the attractive 0 description of it appearing in . the mail order catalogue, while ? in cases where it does supply an actual want, nine times out of Y ten an article just as good or better could be purchased from o the home merchant for less r money. To patronize the home * merchant is the part of both k self-interest and patriotism. It encourages home industries, en' ables the local merchant to l- prosper and expand his business ir and puts money in your pocket, t directly and indirectly." r There is entirely too much of d this mail order business in the a South. One reason of it is;, o strange to say, that ou, Southern e people lack confidence fin their >- own neighbors. They have in y some way come to believe that 5- because an article comes from i- "the North" it is worth more, i, or in some way better, than the i- same article bought from a home u dealer. Nine times out of ten( k they will pay more by mail foi ie an inferior article that could be jo more advantageously purchased e in their own town. 11 The greatest offenders in this >t matter are our good women. But their husbands are to blame. A man who makes his living in a community and permits his wife and daughters to patronize mail order houses, when the same y goods can be purchased for the j. same or less money at home, is 0 showing a lack of business y. judgment in more than one ^ way; he is not saving any monej g directly in the transaction anc es he is runing the risk of offending and losing some of his cuslv tomers and patrons. ?
