He Took It Back.

In a certain town of western Massachusetts two of the most prominent citizens are a Methodist brother and a Presbyterian brother. These are neighbors, and, for the most part, dwell on good terms, except when they try to effect an exchange of horses or to talk religion. On one occasion the two had traded horses, and, although the outcome rankled in the breast of the Methodist, they had met and started a discussion on the subject of predestination. Aa usual an altercation ensued, when the Methodist lost control of himself. With mixed emotions concerning horse trades and John Calvin in his mind, he suddenly exclaimed: “You’re a robber, a liar and a Presbyterian!” This proved too much for the Presbyterian, and a fight began, in which the Presbyterian got the best of it Aa be sat upon his prostrate opponent, bumping bis head against the ground, he said: “Take it back, take it back, or I’ll bump your foolish head off!” “I’ll take It bade,” gasped the vanquished Methodist, “on the first two counts. You’re not a robber nor a liar, but you’re a blamed old Presbyterian if I die for It!”—Harper’s Weekly. Ad armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

At first I did not know: that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When / heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, / tried Peruna for la grippe and found It to be Just the thing. ” In a later letter dated January 31,190 f, Mr. Brock writes: “I am well and feeling as well as 1 have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If 1 could see better I could walk all over the farm and it would do me good. 1 would not be without Peruna.“ Yours truly, For a free book on catarrh, address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbns, O.
