PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is compounded as upon the ingredients used. First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination, must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years’ experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. , WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES. < The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value.

The Christian Sunday.

The keeping of Sunday, the first day of the week, as a sacred day in memoryoftlie‘ resurrection the descent of the Holy Ghost dates from the beginning of Christianity. It was called the Lords day in all the churches, but gradually acquired the name of Sun-day from the Romans, who called the first day of the week dies solis, or day sacred to the sun. The first official ■ recognition of Sunday as a holy day is in an edict of the Roman Emperor Constantine in 321 ordering that all work should cease in the cities “on the venerable Sunday,” but permitting necessary farm work to be attended to. —St. Louis Republic. A French suggestion for preventing automobilists from “scorching” is to forbid the use of masks and goggles.

Each tablet is a working dose cf Cascarets, which acts like Exercise on the Bowels and Liver. It will not purge, sicken, nor upset the Stomach. Because it is not a “Bile-driver,'' like Salts, Sodium, Calomel, Jalap, Senna, nor Aperient Waters. Neither is it liks Castor Oil, Glycerine, or other Oily Laxatives that simply lubricate the Intestines for transit of the food stopped up in them at that particular time. « • • The chief cause of Constipation and Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels.

They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to contract, expand, and squeeze the Digestive Juices out of food eaten. , - They don’t help the Bowels and Liver in tuch a way as to make them lean upon similar assistance for the future. This is why, with Cascarets, the dose may be lessened each succeeding time Instead of increased, as it must be with all other Cathartics and Laxatives. •• * • Cascarets act like exercise.

Shot at Bunny; Hit a Bear.

When John Potter of Sullivan County went rabbit hunting the other day he put three shells charged with buckshot into his belt in anticipation of meeting a fox, says the Port Jervis (N. Y.), correspondent of the New York World. It was to this foresight that he owed his life. At the edge of a swamp the hunter sighted a rabbit Bunny was brought down with a load of birdshot, but the fine shot scattered and the rabbit fell. Potter heard a terrific roar from a clump of bushes. Several of the small shot had struck a huge bear in the nose and he plunged from the undergrowth the maddest animal that ever poked his head out of a swamp. Potter was so completely taken by surprise that he had no time to run when the bear charged. He sprang to one side and escaped a blow from the beast’s paw, but a second blow struck him in the leg. ripping his felt boot from top to sole and tearing the flesh. Unmindful of the pain, Potter bolted for open country with the hear at his heels. He encountered a rail fence and vaulted over it, , but in doing so he dislocated his left wrist and fell. In desperation he Shoved one of the buckshot cartridges into bls gun, and as the bear was clambering over the fence after him he fired the full charge Into the bear’s, head. The bear fell dead within two feet of Potter. The hunter walked five miles to have his injuries dressed by a physician.

Steps Already Taken.

“Your name is Mary McKillemacumber, is it?” said the mistress. “You don’t have to curry such a name as that, Mary. The courts would change it to something shorter and more convenient any time you would take the necessary steps to have it done.” "Th’ praste is going to change it to Mulcahy, ma’am,’’ answered the new cook, “as soon as Moike gets a place on th’ foorce.”

Misjudged His Intention.

An officer of the army tolls bow Major Whipple, of the Second Massachusetts Regiment, a veteran of the Civil War, hastened to Washington when the Spanish war broke out and offered his services to President McKinley. But all officers, as well as men, had tomndergo a physical examination, and it was stated to Major Whipple that he would have to place himself in the hands of the examining doctors at Worcester. ' ’ Now, Major Whipple, while a man of great bodily strength and perfect health and activity, was a Tittle deficient in the matter of teeth. An examining surgeon proposed to exclude him on that account. . Whereupon the major waxed wroth. “Gentlemen,” said he, ‘‘l'm going to Cuba to s/hoot Spaniards, not to eat ’em!” 1 The major went.—Harper’s Weekly.

OVER $1,000 A YEAR AND “LIVING.”

That la the Story of a Michigan Farmer Who* Live* in Western Canada. Spruce Coulee Ranch, Olds, Alberta, Dec. 10th, 1906. Mr. M. V. Mclnnes, Canadian Government Agent, Detroit, Mich.; Dear Sir and Friend: It will be four years next May since I came to Olds, and I have lived here ever since. Since I came here wheat has run from 25 to 45 bushels per acre, oats from 65 to 115, that I know of. I raised that last year; 115 bushels to the acre of the finest oats I ever seen, and oats that I sowed the 31st day of May this year went 72% to the acre and weighed 41 pounds to the bushel. My barley went 40 bushels last year and 50 this year,, and was not sown until the latter part of May. I had three acres of potatoes this year and sold 700 bushels and put 275 bushels In the cellar and no bugs to pick. We have a fine Government creamery at Olds. Our cows made s4l per head and didn’t feed any grain—ronly prairie hay—so you see we are doing well. We have the patent for our homestead now and am very thankful that we came to Alberta. We have made a little over SI,OOO each year besides making our living. I would not go back to Michigan to live for anything. If I had my choice of a ticket to Olds or a 40-acre farm in Michigan, I would take the ticket, and in two years I could buy any of their 40-acre farms. This is the country for a poor man as well as a man with money. I will close, thanking you for our prosperity. I remain, yours truly, (Signed) OTTO YETTING, Olds, Alberta, Canada, Box 159. Information as to how to secure low rates to the free grant lands of Western Canada can be secured of any Canadian Government agent.

My ball is In a hole.” The second young lady took out a book of instructions. “Let me see,” she said, turning the pages. “I presume you must now take a stick of the right shape and get it out.” “Oh, yes, of course,” said the first young woman. “See if you can find me a stick shaped like a dustpan and brush.”
