Perona Cored Ibis Mao Of Catarrh. Mr. J. B. Reese. Habnab, M a ryland, writes: "Two years ago I be came a suf ferer with ca tarrh, which continued to grow worse and made me miserable. I could scarcely smell at all, ind my taste had almost left me. My head ached constantly, and at times had high fever and bleed ing at the nose. I was a perfect wreck.. "I tried several doctors, but derived no relief. I read In one of your lit tle booklets, called 'Ills of Life/ of Peruna being a remedy for catarrh, and procured a bottle at once. After the use of one bottle I felt some bet ter, so I tried the second and the third, and now I am a well man."

I That Attitude of the Mind Has Much to Do With Length of Life Is j Well Known. A few years ago a young man "died of old age" in a New York hos pital. After an autopsy the surgeona said that while the youth was in real ity only twenty-three years old, he. was internally eighty. - It is the aged mind that frequently makes the body old. "Keep growing or die," is nature's motto, a motto written all over everything in the universe. There must be a constant activity in the mind that would not age; and the body Is but the expres sion of the mind. There is no doubt that, as a raco, we shorten our lives very materially through our false thinking, our bad living, and our old-age convictions. Doctor Metchnikoff of the Pasteur in stitute in Paris says that men should live at least 120 years. Yet it la only in rare instances today that a man reaches even the century mark. Making a business of prolonging life and still retaining as much as possible of Its vigor, freshness and buoyancy ought to be a prime object, especially after one has passed fifty. Whflft nroner care of the body is ab mi Bolutely essential for the attainment of thisi object, the mental Influence far transcends all others. The attitude of the mind has everything to do with hastening or retarding the de generative process incident to one's declining years. It is an established fact that the body follows the thought, is shaped by the mental con victions, emotions, m ods.?Orison Swett Marden in Nautilus. Municipal Cold Storage.

No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse in Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong cof fee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. "While on a visit to my brothers I "had a good chance to try Postum, for they drank it altogether in place of cofTee. After using Postum two weeks I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observe a curious fact about Postum when used by mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases ' where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. But when it la nrpnared according to directions I on package and served hot with cream, it is certainly a delicious bev erage." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
