Chauncey Depew
WAS ONCE ASKED:
“Is life worth living?” He replied: “It
depends upon the liver." Chauncey was
partially right, but he might have added
X that it depended quite as much upon the
stomach and the manner in which it did
its work. The moment you put lard-
N* \w^ cooked food in your stomach you are
y sending out a pressing invitation for dys-
' pepsia to call upon you. This may sound
exaggerated, but let us reason it out.
Lard is made from hog fats. The hog isn’t the most cleanly animal
in the world, and why should lard be any more digestible than fat
pork? It isn’t. You are simply taking chances when you use lard in
cooking; if it doesn’t harm you, you’re lucky.
The best shortening in the universe is Cottolene. It is made from
refined vegetable oil and choice beef suet. There’s no ingredient about
it but what is pure, wholesome and digestible. No other shortening
will do the work of Cottolene. You must either use Cottolene or an
inferior product. Which are you going to do?
Guard against substitutes. Cottolene comes only in sealed tin
pails (three sizes) with a red label and band. In the center of the
label is our trade mark—a steer’s head in cotton plant wreath. Cot
tolene is not open to contamination as is bulk lard; the quality is
always uniform and guaranteed.
Ask your grocer for a pail of Cottolene and start yourself on the
right road to successful cookery.
USE 5$ LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking
butter, one-third less is required.

MR. ISAAC BROCK, BORN IN BUNCOMBE CO., N. C., MARCH 1, 1788.
H/s age is 114 years, vouched for by authentic record. He says: attribute
my extreme old age to the use of Pe-ru-na. ”
A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he hold a stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr. Brock is a dignified old
gentleman, showing few signs of de
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre
served, and it shows that the date of his
birth was written 114 years ago.
Surely a few words from this remarka
ble old gentleman, who has had 114
years of experience to draw from,would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December 4,1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
a double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December 11, 1898, and also the
(Jhicago-Times Herald of same date.
Born before the United States
was formed.
Saw 22 Presidents elected.
Pe-ru-na has protected him
from all sudden changes.
Veteran of four wars.
Shod a horse when 99 years
old.
Always conquered the grip with
Pe-ru-na.
Witness In a land suit at the
age of 110 years.
Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest
remedy of tbe age for catarrhal
diseases.
I SAAG BROCK, a citizen of McLen
nan county, Texas, has lived for 114
years. For many years he resided at
Bosque Falls, eighteen miles west of
Waeo, but now live with his son-in-
law at Valley Mills, Texas.
Tins centenarian is an ardent friend of
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr. Brock says:
“ After a man has lived in the world
as long as I have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by ex
perience. I think I have done so.
“ One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For 114 years I have
withstood the changeable climate
of the United States.
“I have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life I have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
“ As for Dr. Hartman’s remedy
Peruna, I have found it to be the
best, if not the only, reliable rem
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this rem
edy.
“It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil
effects of sudden changes; it keeps me
in good appetite; it gives mo strength;
it keeps my blood in good cireulation.
I have come to rely upon it almost en
tirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine.
“ When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
“ / had several long sieges with
the grip. At first 1 did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for
this disease. When 1 heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I
tried Peruna for !a grippe and
found it to be just the thing. ”
Yours truly.
For a free hook on catarrh, address
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory result* from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and ho Mill
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
