PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME.
A Letter from Congressman White, of North Carolina.
PE-RU-NA !S A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should. Be Without It.
PERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
the men; it is just the thing for
the'mahy little catarrhal ailments of
childhood. • (
The following testimonial^ from
thankful men.and women tell in direct,
• sincere language What’ their success
has been in the use of Peyuna in their.
» families: ‘ ’*
Louis J. Scherrinsky, .103 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
“I will tell.y,ou briefly what Peruna
* hhs done for me." I took a severe cold
>vhich gave’me a hard cough. All doc
tors’ medicines failed to cure it. I f6dk
one bottle of Peruna and was welj.
“Then my two children had ‘ bad
coughs acconipanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now slieit well.
“I cannot express my thanks in
__ _ . 1. ,, i T "I'rMl r r«.n m fill i’
at every opportunity, for I can con
scientiously say that, there'Is no medi
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness of
myself and family, and they‘have seen
•with astonishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
ple, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, I am.’.V—L. J. Scher
rinsky.
Mrs. Nannie Wallace,.Tulare, Cal.,
President of the Western Baptist Mis
sionary Society, writes:
“I consider Peruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. It is
twenty'medicines in one, and has so
far cured every sickness that liasbeen
in my home for five years. I consider
, it of special value" to vfealdy women*
as it builds up the general ^health,
drives out disease and keeps you in
the best of health.”—Mrs. Nannie Wal
lace. •
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
• tarrh ofVtlie stomach, liver and. kid
neys. It is just ag sure to cure a case
of catarrh of the bowels a® it is a case
of catarrh of the head.
Congressman George Henry White,
of Tarboro, X. C., writes the following
letter to Dr. Hartman in regard to the
merits of the great catarrh cure, Pe
rijna:
* House of Representatives,
Washington, Feb. 4,1899.
The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus, 0.:
Qentlemen—“ lam more than satis
fied with Peruna, and find It to be an
excellent i emedy for the grip and ca
tarrh. I have used It In my family
and they all join me In recommending
It as an excellent remedy. ”
Very respectfully,
George H. White.
Peruna is an internal, scientific, sys
temic remedy for catarrh. It is no
palliative or temporary remedy; it is
thorough in its1 work, and in cleansing
the diseased mucous membranes cures
the catarrh.
If you do not derive'prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use. of Pe
runa. write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

v
** The Case of Mrs. Nancy Ball.
There are no diseases chat more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and it betooves every man and woman suffering from these diseases,
to have themselves cured at once. The body depends upon the Kidneys to.tbrow off the waste
matter of the systerii, and when it fails to do this the result Is an interference with digestion, a
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart.
Also rheu.naj.iim could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys.

BELTER TEACHERS NEEDED.
The IHIIIetilty In (irttinic Competent,
Toneliers-Onr of the South'll
Uratvhnck'ii.
The - difficulty is great in getting
competent teachers in communities
where the school, term is short, too
short to justify good men and wom
en to quality themselves for the work
they' profess to be .able tp do. and to,
do ijywell. The compensation paid to
teachers in Tennessee, as a rule, is
not such as t* induce the best men
and women, adapted to the work of
teaching, to engage in it. This is a
drawback that is hard to overcome;
it can be done only by the consolida
tion of school districts, as is being
done in our sister state of North
Carolina, and having fewer schools
but with longer terms. The number
of teachers in the schools may be
less, and none but the best need be
engaged.
In addition to that, with fe-ver
school houses there may be better
school houses, the want of which is
another serious drawback to the do
ing of the. best work in connection
with our public schools. Children can
not do the best work, unless they are
made comfortable, and they will not
tractive. In the space of a newspa
per article the needs of the schools
can only he hinted at; but it is hoped
that the hints here given may attract
the attention of the friends of public
schools in the state and set them to
thinking.
Agaijij the time has come when the
money paid for the education of the
•children should not be wasted in the
employment of fossils, who have no
other idea of teael^ng than following
in the beaten rets pursued years and
years ago. The science of teaching is
a progressive science, and no manor
woman who does not so realize, and
who ha*s not enough ambition to keep
up with the procession, should be em
ployed to- teach the children of to
day. The employment of any such is
a wanton and wicked waste of sacred
money.—Knoxville .Journal and trib
une
WHAT EDUCATION CAN DO.
It Revolutionized Bleak *' SeotV.uC}
Wl»y May It Not the
Southland!
Far the most important event of
this short session was-the'passing of
the act for the settling of schools. By
this memorable law it was, in the
Scotch phrase, statuted and ordained
that every parish in the realm should
provide a commodious school house
and pay a moderate ‘ stipend to a ■
schoolmaster. The effect could pot^
be immediately felt. But be'fore one
generation had passed away it began
to be evident that the common people
of Scotland were superior in intelli
gence to the Common people of arty
otSjer country, in Eufrfpe. To what
ever land the Scotchman might wan
der, .to whatever- calling.he'tni.gjit be-;
take him'self. In America or'irt Ifnlia,
in trade or in war. the advantage
which he derived from his early train
ing raised him above his.competitors.
If he was taken into a warehouse as
a porter he soon became foreman. If
he enlisted in the army he soon be
came a sergeant. Scotland, mean
while, in spite of the barrenness of
her soil and severity of her climate,
made such progress in agriculture, in
manufactures, in commerce, in let
ters, in science, in all that constitutes
civilization, as the old world had
never seen equaled, and as even the
n«w world has scarcely seen sur
passed. This wonderful change is to
be attributed, not indeed solely, but
principally, to the national system of
education.—Lord Macaulay.
INCOMPETENT TEACHERS.
One of ,the Chief Source* of WiiHte
the Employment of Incom
peteut Teachers.
One of the chief sources of the
waste of school money is the employ
ment of incompetent teachers. This
is perhaps more generally true in the
sparsely-populated districts; hut it is
fmt confined to them. It is seen and
felt also, in the, cities. Boards of ed
ucation and school directors have a
grave' responsibility resting upon
them in this respect, and no man who
is tit to hold such a position will ap
proach the work in hand without
feeling it. The time of the school
children is too precious to be wasted
in attending upon instruction at the
hands of those who know little of the
responsibility that rests upon them,
and who perhaps do not care to
know. It sometimes takes longer to
unlearn that which is fallacious,
taught by an incompetent teacher,
thaifit did hi imbibe the false notions
that are to be unlearned.—Knoxville
Journal und Tribune. ,
Beauty fir School and Ground*.
The public school .is the place to
which we should turn chief attention
' In our'effort to promote a more beau
tiful public life in America. The
selioalhouse and the school grounds
should be. beautiful, and .the child
should be surrounded by beauty in
the schnofroom from first to last.
Trained in the habit, of seeing beauty
and knowing it, he will come in
stinctively 1° bate ugliness in the
house and in the street, as he goes but
in life. , . '. • ' ‘ '

“I had business in the Far west last win
ter,” said a Bosfbn lawyer the otliet day,
according to tl^eyi’ost, "and- \fhile’'T was
stopping in'k small town for a day or two
a man was tried for steuling a horse. I
went over to court to see how they put
things through, and c losely followed the evi
dence on both sides. There wasn't" the
shaddw of a doubt in my mind that the
ppisos*er was guilty, and that evening I
said to his lawyer:
‘You'll lose your case to-morrow. The
jury must certainly convict.’
‘Oh, 1 don’t know,’ he replied.
‘You don’t hope to get him off, do
you ?•’
“ ‘Well, maybe not, but they'll surely
be a disagreement.’
'I shouldn't .count on that if I had the
case.’ • ’
‘Rut I do. you know;’ he replied.
I’ve got two brothers-in-law on the jury,

"They didn't,’’ laughed the narrator.

SHOWING THE WAY.
Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of a bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
.overworked organs of the body and
“go wrong” at times no matter how
.well the general health may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
indications of .kidney trouble, Y.ou.
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and twitches of back
ache pains, but lay it to other causes;
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant'with urinary disorders, reten
tion of the urine, too frequent urina
tion, makes j*ou realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take a femedy that will not only re
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it tetaches:
C. J. McMurray,' a resident of Free
port, 111;, address 47 Iroquois St., says:
Pills to-day than I had in the fall of
1897 when I first took that remedy and
it cured me of an acute pain across
the back and imperfect action of the
kidneys... Since I made a public state
ment of these facts and recommended
Doan’s Kidney Pills to my friends and
acquaintances, thoroughly believing
as I did both from observation and ex
perience that they would do just as
they were represented fo do. I am
still pleased to reendorse my state
ment given to the public shortly after
I first bega’n to use the remedy.”
