DEATH POSTPONED. Tho Secret to Perpetual Life About To He Discovered. The celebrated Dr. Vlrchow, of Ber lin, recently stated his belief that tho secret of nil diseases Is about to be dis covered. He believes that all disease germs can be destroyed, leaving human life free to continue Indefinitely. That It Is minute organisms that cause dis ease; that they can bo destroyed; and, when destroyed, there will be no dls ease, and people will continue to live, If not always, at least to attain great age, like tho fabled Antediluvians. In the meantime, however, we have tho disease germs to cope with tho best way we can. They attack us morning, noon nnd night. They are in tho air we breathe, tho water we drink and tho food we eat. The only thing we can do to protect ourselves Is to fortify tho .system against them. The strength ening effect of Pe-ru-na is a reliable protection. Tho disease germs can not exist In tho system when Pe-ru-na is taken. It is a perfect remedy for all low, weak states of the system, and brings vitality nnd strength of youth. If tho mucous membranes are healthy the disease germs can not enter the system. Po-ru-na produces clean, healthy, normal mucous membranes. Send for Dr. Hartman's latest book on chronic malaria.
