D. 1 - J * Having" a little business in one of ' the federal offices of the city, after It 4 was finished I fell in conversation with the official In charge concerning Pertma. I mention his business to show that the conversation was conducted with a man of more than ordinary intelligence, being a employe of the government who had passed through several civil service examinations. He said to me, not knowing who I was: 441 think a great deal of this patent s * medicine business ought to be stopped. ^ Especially such remedies as Peruna. t Peruna, as you know, is a stimulant t and contains eighteen or twenty per 1 cent, of alcohol. People take it without i knowing what it is, and such remedies t ought to be prohibited by law. My \ own mother took Peruna once. She had r & cough, night sweats, was growing t emaciated and weak. Several doctors r examined her. The opinion was ex- I 4 pressed several times that she was r going into consumption. One thought E it was chronic bronchitis. At any rate, r fcer condition was quite serious. She was r unable to get any relief from the doctors she consulted, although she took t: their medicines faithfully for nearly* a p year. Some one told her about Peruna, f< and against my wi3h. and against the wteVtAd nf oV> y? + ^ TTASiiCt?

It finally came out in the mag- h azines that Peruna contained alcohol. ' * Then we knew at once what it was ti that benefited my mother, it was simply the alcohol that Peruna contained. t< "We had the laugh on mother.

She says that if she were to be sick in the same way again she would certainly get Peruna and take it, alcohol Dr no alcohol. So you see if people will persist in such foolishness there ought to be a law to prevent them." I ventured to interpose a question. "You say the doctors could not cure tier, and yet you say Peruna did cure tier. What difference does it make to you whether it was alcohol or some pther drug that effected the cure?" "Well, I don't know that it makes any lifference, but it is deceiving the people to give them alcohol even, though it ioes cure them," he said. I replied. "Why, I cannot exactly understand that Alcohol a a. urug, tut: jstune n,a quinlne or morphin. If alcohol cures certain diseases where Is the deception? [ understand that the Peruna people print on the label of each bottle the per cent of alcohol contained in Peruia. Each patient may read it, if he pleases. I cannot see where there is my deception." "Well, I would not take Peruna," tie persisted. "Now, I was sick, I had a stomach disease. A violent pain, that would come on about an hour or two ifter each meal. It grew worse and worse. I was also constipated. I consulted several doctors in our city about ny health. I weht to see a prominent specialist In New York City, paid out a ?reat deal of money, but no help. One :ime I was having a bad spell on the :rain. The gentleman who occupied he next seat was a retired physician vith whom I had been acquainted. He >aid to me, 'My friend, if you want to ret well I would advise you to take a rlass of lager beer before each meal. I nrnic tnat "win cure you/ waving' 101owed the directions of several good ihysicians without any assistance, I hought I would try the beer. In a -ery short time. I found It was helping ne, and I got entirely well. My bowels >ecame regular and I had no more >ain. No more distress after meals. Cow, if my mother had used some emedy like that it would be all right. Jut to persist in using some secret emedy like Peruna, I think it is outageous." Again I ventured to ask some queslons. I asked: "What do you supose it was in the lager beer that elected the cure?" "Why, I presume it was the stimulant : contained. Yes, no doubt it was the timulant." "You know, of course, that the stimlant in beer is alcohol, the same as in rine or whiskey or any other alco olic drink?" "Yes, I have heard say that beer conlins about five per cent, of alcohol. "That is correct," I replied. "You Dok a bottle of beer before each meal, id you?" "Yes." "In doing so you were drinking- a pint C a five per cent, solution of alcohol." . for FreeParuna The Markets. ^exiDgton,?Cotton, middling, 12{f. >ayannah,?Turpentine 42.1. Washington's Birthday.

"Five per cent, would be one-twentieth. As each pint contains sixteen ounces you were then taking a little less than an ounce of alcohol before each meal." "Yes." "But you objected to your mother's taking alcohol in the Peruna, and yet she was taking far less alcohol than you were. As I understand it, the dose of Peruna is one tablespoonful. Supposing it to be twenty per cent, alcohol, there would be in each dose one-fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol, which would be about half a teaspoonful, while you were taking at least four teaspoonfuls of alcohol in your bottle of beer. And vet vou obiected to vour mother's talc ing Peruna oil the ground that the Peruna contains alcohol. In my opinion it was the alcohol that cured both of you. Tour mother evidently was cured of a very serious ailment. Peruna contains ^.lcohol. It was undoubtedly the alcohol that cured her, or at least helped to. The other ingredients of Peruna might have assisted, no doubt did. In your case it was the alcohol in the beer that cured you of the stomach difficulty. Peruna has cured thousands of such cases."

But if as you say there is also alcohol in beer, the same kind of alcohol as is used in Peruna, I cannot see where the difference is myself." I "Well" I replied, "you have been doing exactly what the average man and woman is doing. Tou have allowed your mind to become prejudiced against Peruna on account of its containing alcohol. Without stopping to look into the matter at all you ha.ve assumed that there is something terribly disreputable about remedies containing alcohol. The fact is, however, that most all duid medicines, whether prescribed by a doctor or put up as a patent medicine, contain a certain amount of alcohol. It was alcohol that cured your mother. It was alcohol that cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in some form or other is making more cures than all other drugs combined. This is not saying, however, that Peruna contains only alcohol, for it does contain excellent remedies besides alcohol. But i do contend that the alcohol in Peruna is not only not harmful to those who take it, but if taken in the doses prescribed on the bottle it will do a great deal of good and there is not the slightest danger of forming a uiug uau-iu rjiriLAA r UJzi ?.an.n.

Court Continued. When The Dispatch went to press last week the second week of the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Bowman presiding, wa9 engaged in the trial of the case of W. F. Dobey & Son, contractors of Aiken, against Mrs. P. B. Watson, of Batesburg. This was an action for Si.TOO, the amount alleged to have been dae for work on the residence or Mrs. Watson at Batesburg. After remaining ia'their room for a short while the jury returned with a verdict in favof of the plamtrff for Si,700?the amount a^ked tor. The plaintiff* were represents'! by the II >n. George Beii Tim merman and Mr. T. C. Callison, and tin; defendant by Attorney Mettles, of Columbia. The defendant gave notice of a motion fir a new trial, which will be argued j before Judge Bowman this week. [ The cSurt this week has been engaged in the triai of the case of Mrs. Mattie Moore, administratrix of her husband, Hal C. Moore, again*t the Seaboard Air Line Railway and George L. Glenn, a damage suit for$75,000, for the alleged killing of the plaintiff's husband in the yards of the railroad at Cayce on August *21, last year. The evidence was concluded at 5:30 yesterday afternoon, and the arguments are being made this morning. Hal C. iuuuic was eujpiuywu uy ins company as a C3r repairer, and it was while in the discharge of his duty that it is alleged a train ran over him, death ensning a short while after the accident. Thi9 is the largest damage suit ever tried in the courts of this county, and * the attorneys have contested every point. The action is brought by W. Boyd Evans, of Columbia, who is assisted by Messrs. Melton & Sturkie, Senator W. H. Sharpe and Col. E. L. Asbill. Messrs. Lyles & LylesJJ of Columbia. and Messrs. Efird & Dreher, of Lexington, represent the defendants. At the conclusion of the Moore case the large land suits, brought by Martha A. Harden, of Charleston, against a number of persons in the extreme lower portion of the county for the recovery of certain tracts of land, is scheduled for trial. These cases I will consume a great deal of time, and the court will most likely run through Saturday.
