Are Drugs Ne Do Drugs Ci Can Natur It people were born right and afterWards lived right, there would bo no use for medicine. Every doctor knows i A this. So do other well-informed people. thing more. When a person lives Imlngly, or acquires bodily weakness by handut*. medicine can do only very I . little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only charlatans claim that medicines will cure disease. Medicines may palliate symptoms. Medicines may urge the ^ powers of Nature to resist disease. Medicines sometimes arouse the efforts of the human body to right itself against derangements. This is the most that medicine can do. man accidentally puts his finger in the fire. Instinctively he wets his linger ir 'i month, then hlows on it for the c. ng effect. This is no care. He knows it very well. Bat it makes it feel better for the time being. People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only rtfttonal care is to eat oorrectly. Yet if a palliative :ls at hand the pains of Indigestion can be mitigated, the throes of dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine cannot be said to have cured. It simply palliates disagreeable symptoms. The ?nfe must oome through right living. fhke Per an a, for instance. No one claims P^n na is a core for dyspepsia. Put Parana will stimulate the stomach *9 perform its function properly.

This 1 condition hi very apt to produce rheumrf attam. It is not caimed that Perana will cure rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheumatism but correct living. But it is defined that Peruna will assist a badly i abused eto: aach to .perform its w6rk. Kk REHARKABIE FAMILY. 1 twenty one Children Born to the Same . Parents?Only One Surviving Member.! Mr R A Watts, Sr., returned Monday from Goidsboro, X C., where fce had been spending* some time at his old home. During his absence he attended the funeral of his sister who died at her l.ome in Baltimore on i cyiuai j . y Mr Watts' family history, as related to us, is quite an interesting story of itself. The sister vho recently passed | away at the age of 68 was the sole surviving daughter of f twenty-one childj-en?all of the same parentage?and the last living one of that number, save himself, "the last leaf upon the tree," as Dr Holmes pathetic-1 ally describes such a condition. Some of the children now deceased attained a great age, one 's dying at the age of 91, and Mr Watts says at least one memoer of the family exceeded that age. The remarkable prolixity of his parents' progen}- is accounted for by Mr Watts by the fact that there were twins and even (triplets in the birth record, but he does not remember the order |n which they were born. Mr Watts is now 68 years of - age and is apparently a good I life insurance risk, with more | < than the average "expectation" ye^ars before him. He is the senior member of the firm of ij Watts & Watts, the local jewellers, and attends actively * to bis duties daily. f Saved A Soldier's Life. j * FaciDgdeath from shot and shell in the civil war was more agree- j f A C?nna nf R'pm 'I'pY 1 taote KI than facing it from what doctors' Paeid was consumption.

If a person would correct his habits, persist in right eating and temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach would right ttself, the blood would rid itself of 4U..V An/1 tv WAtiia Kn liio puiov/U) ftuu vr^i j vuiug nvwm mw right. But a9 said before there are a multitude of peoplewhowillnotorcannot adopt right methods of living. To such people Peruna is a boon. A do6e before meals "will assist the stomach to do its work. This prevents fermentation of the food, brings about normal digestion, and all the train of ills that follow indigestion disappear. In other words, Peruna is helpful to those who live badly, or those who have acq aired some chronio weakness. Peruna does not cure, but it assists tha powers of Nature to bring about a cure. The whip does not increase the power of the horse to pull a load, but Judi* ciously used it stimulates the horse to use his powers st the right time, with* out which he could not have palled the load. This illustrates the effect of Peruna, ck any other good remedy upon the ays* tem. Taken at the right time, it calls forth the powers of the human system to meet the encroachments of disease, and thus cats short, if not entirely ends, the diseased action. No one should ever attempt to snbsti* tute medicine in the place of right Qv* ing.. In the end such an attempt will prove a disaster. Bnt an occasional use of the right medicine at the right time is a godsend, and no reasonable person will undertake to deny it. Those who know how to use Peruna find it of untold value. By and by the world will get wise enough so'that through correct living no medicine at all will be needed. Bnt that time has not arrived. In the meantime, while the world is approaching that perfeo* tion in wmcn au meaicino win oe eliminated, Peruna is a handy remedy to have in the house. Blight derangements of the stomach; slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the throat, bronchial tubes, lnngs or bowels; these attacks are fore to lead to grave diseases, and can be averted by the judicious use of Peruna. Wouldn't you li?e to read a few unsolicited testimonials from people who have used Peruna, and who stand ready to confirm the above statements oonoerning it.

The maids and butlers of Wash'icgton's finest residential districts [are well trained, bnt sometimes even | they tail to discriminate. A story is told of a milk-man* who had a J great deal of trouble in collecting ! his bills at a certain aristocratic house. The lady of fashion put him off over and over again and absolutely refused to set him in person?as a milkman. Money is as essential in dispensing the lacteal fluid as in other lines of business, so the milkman resorted to strategy, A few days after his latest unanswered appeal, a man arrayed in the latest style of fall suit, with flashing diamond studs iu a snow-white shirt bosom, hands neatly gloved and carrying a cane, walked up the of the residence of the delinque t milk purchaser. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the mistress of the honse was at breakfast. Looking ont before opening the door?some Washington hall doors are provided with a ventilator-like "lookout" like those of Philadelphia?the maid failed to recognize the milkman, divested of his overalls. OpeniDg' the door, on hearing his modest request for Mrs So-and-so, she at once ushered him in and took his card to her mistress. He waited?a trifle awkwardly, perhans?in the ball, but waa unheld by the stern justice of his errand. The lady of the house arrived. . "Yes?" she said questioningly. "What can I do for yon?" "The amount of this, if you please, madam," he replied, handing her the obnoxious bill. Whatever the lady, may have thought of the improvised Bean Brummel, the bill .was promptly paid. There were no lingering fare-! wells, but the milk account in that i house was always taken care of to, date after that, though in private it is said the fashionable dame described that milkman as "a perfect ornithorbynchus," which she explains means "a beast with a bill." All this shows that the America ) people have long since learned the art of money-making, an " might send out cards for a* rec'eptM to all nations of the earth to come and congratulate them on their success in creatiug a nation, possibly adding the assurance allixed to tbe wedding cards of the thrice widowed who was marryiug for the fourth time: "Guests are assured that this is no a e ? ?? ??a t ?1111(1 l/CUI lUl inaiJUC, I'lVUi fairs at Washington" by Joe Mitchell Chappie in the March National Magazine.
