On the Verge of Bright’s
Disease.—A Quick Cure
that Lasted.
CASE NO. 30.011.—C. E. Boies, deal
er in grain and feed, 505 South Water
Street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1890, he said: “Ever
since the Civil War I have had attacks
of -kidney and bladder troubles, decid
edly worse during the last two or
three years. Although I consulted
physicians, some of whom told me I
was verging on Bright’s-disease, and
I was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. As
might be expected when my kidneys
were in a disturbed condition, there
was a distressing and inconvenient
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter &
Co.’s drug store, brought such a de
cided change within a week that I
continued the treatment. The last
attack, and it was particularly’ ag
gravated, disappeared.”
Three Years After.
Mr. Boies- says in 1899: “In the
spring of 1896 I made a public state
ment of my experience with Doan’s
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of a terrible aching in the kidneys,
in the small of my back, in the mus
cles of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years-that have gone
by I can conscientiously say th ere have
been no recurrences of my old trouble.
My confidence in Doan’s Kidney Tills
is stronger than ever, not only from
my personal experience but from the
experience of many others in Akron
which have come to my notice.”

ney medicine which cured Mr. Boies

SOVTHERN
EDUCATION
TIME FOR AN AWAKENING.
What Are the Parent* of the Chil
dren of the South Thinking
About f
- he Frederiek'burg, Va.,Free Lance
has the following1 to say about Ihe
public schools of Virginia. When it
is remembered that these conditions
prevail throughout the south,and are
even worse in some of the southern
states, we can see the force of the
Free Lance's remarks. 1 ays the Free
Lan^e:
There is no one subject that should
interest the people of Virginia more
than the public school system of this
commonwealth. We have on many
occasions taken the liberty to com
ment oi the poor showing that the
Old Dominion was making along the
line of education.
Sometimes we have been accused
of being too severe in our criticisms,
we have always informed our crities
that the biennial report o ftlie su
perintendant of public instruction
would bear us out in every charge
that we have made.
The report is now public property.
We have a copy of it on file in this of
fice. It is valuable, because it gives
us a true and correct picture of the
real situation.
We have taken the trouble to gath
er from the report a few figures that
may be startling but of great interest
to many of our readers.
It can readily be seen from these
figures that not 50 per cent, of the
children of school age in the ab< ve
counties are enrolled as pupils. What
a shame. What are these parents
thinking about?
Some say “it cost so much to run
our schools.” Let us see about this.
Richmond county pays $5.28 per school
year for each of her scholars, King
George, $3.78, and Spottsylvania,$3.62.
What an ernomous outlay for the
education of a child. «
Lancaster leads off by keeping her
schools open just a little more than
614 months each year, while Louisa
brings, up the real by giving her
school children seven months’ vaca
tion in each year.
The average salaries paid to teach
ers speak for themselves. No sane man
can expect much “teach” for such
miserable pay.
It is high time for a great educa
tional awakening in our midst. Way
that time soon come.
ANTIQUATED METHODS.
What Can /You Expect of a Teacher
InlcNs Yon Supply Him With
Proper Equipment.
What teacher can not accomplish
far better results with proper equip
ment? asks the Biblical Recorder.
To begin with, the school is more
easily disciplined in a comfortably
furnished building; in fact it is im
possible, as we all know, to maintain
order in a room that is not properly
furnished,with no place for anything
and nothing in place, books scattered,
everything in confusion, disorder in
abundance, all in bad humor. Teach
er goes home at close of day’s work
exhausted, discouraged. Pupils go
home wishing they would never have
to return. Of course children may be
restrained from bad conduct by bad
punishment, but has not the all-im
portant principle of self development
been grossly violated? Should it not
be our purpose to direct and
strengthen the s rit of the child
along the right lines rather than to
weaken and subject it by harsh
means? Good surroundings are
worth more than s*rict rules, stout
arms and keen switches.
As an investment in money would
it not yield handsome to give the
teachers up-to-date working applian
ces to facilitate their efforts and to
improve the opportunities of the pu
pils? What farmer would undertake
to farm with primitave tools and
after antiquated methods? Some of
them do and we can see the result.
What housewife would undertake to
do the cooking on an open tire with
pot-hooks,skillet,etc. Our progressive
farmers buy up-to-date implements,
Nearly every home is now furnished
with a steel range, even discarding
the faithful old cook stove for the
sake of economy in energy, time,
money and nerve force. Then why
should these same people expect the
school teachers to accomplish the best
results without proper equipment
with which to work.
Mnke School. Comfortable.
Let us provide adequate accommo
dation and comfortable equipment,
with a competent teacher in charge of
each school and mark the effect be
fore we urge compulsory school at
tendance. Let the school become the
center of neighborhood interest.
Convince the community of its effici
ency and value by winning the re
spect and loyalty of pupils and pa
trons. When this is accomplished
the question of literary in the rural
districts will be solved.—Charles J.
Parker, of North Carolina.
—A government of universal suf
frage necessitates universal educa
tion of all the children of the people
of this state is a task for patriotic
statesmanship. What and how our
children are to be taught is the su
preme question. However much we
have done and are doing, it is plain
that we can, and should, do more.—
Gov. A. J. Montagua.
St. Jacob* Oil.
In oases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment in
the earlier stage?, there is nothing so good
as Ur. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with wuieh is strongly
advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the* front, of, the
throat, from close up under tue chin to well
down to tlie top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and, as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil en
ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more dif
ficult. As these adhesions become inflamed
and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such ad
hesions to break away, making expectora
tion easier and more free. Ur. August
Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly
and very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
is comforting and quieting, stops the cough
and relieves the breathing. This manner
of treatment (and there is no other two
remedies that will work together so suc
cessfully) readies the difficulty from the
outside and the inside at the same time.
St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad
hesion, and assists Ur. August Koenig’s
Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing. The above remarks apply with equal
force in cases of asthma, croup, whooping
cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have St.
Jacobs Oil and Ur. August Koenig’s Ham
burg Breast Tea always in the house in or
der that they may be promptlv used in the
first stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity, and complications
take place with equal suddenness.

"Then what is the first?” he demanded.
“Can you provide the things to be

Lionel Anion.
One of the new novels of exceptional merit,
builded along historical lines, is “Lionel Ar
don,” by Malcolm Dearborn. > Like many
of tne novels of the time it takes its name
from that of the hero. The scene is Eng
land and the time that of Henry VIII., and
through to Queen Elizabeth. The hero, Lion
el, is the son of Lord Ardon, who is killed in
a duel with Lord Raven, and his death is
quickly avenged by the young son. The
storv follows the enrtance of the hero into
English court life, and contains some bril
ltant descriptions of the gayeties and festivi
ties of those times. One of the principal
characters is Lady Jane Grey, who is, in fact,
the real heroine. This is the only novedthat
has ever brought to the sympathy and ad
miration of story readers that woman of
purity and exqitisite womanliness. Pub

GOVERNOR OF OREGON
Uses Pe-ru-na In His Family
For Colds 1111 and Grip,
CAPITOL B GILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Ollice of Oregon.
I'e-ru-na is Known lrom tne -Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters cf congratula
tion and commendation testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher—all agree that Pe
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizingea
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso
lute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures
catarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of re-ru-na. He keeps it con
tin.ua.uy in me nouse. in a recent leU
ter to Dr. Hartman he sayS:

Executive Department, [
Salem, May 9, 1898. )
The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbur.
0.:
Dear Sirs—I have had occasion tovis>j
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to be an excel
lent remedy. I have not had occasion
to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. if. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pe
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. Thisis exactly
what every other family in the United
States should d.o. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and otherclimatic affections of
winter, and there will be no other ail
ments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with a copy
of Dr. Hartman’s free book, entitled
“Winter Catarrh.” Address Dr. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio.
