Read this tes: timony to the merit of the greatest of Kidney specifics, J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: “With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffer- nz intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kid- 1wys, and ammoyed by painful passages af abnormal secretions, life was any- thing but pleasant for me. No amount if doctoring relieved this condition, and ‘or the reason that nothing seemed to sive me even temporary relief I be- ame about discouraged. One day I ioticed in the newspapers the case of a nan who was afflicted as I was. and was cured hy the use of Doan's Kid- ey Pills. His words of praise for this ‘omedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to he Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and zot 2 box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney rem- ady as represented. I experienced fuick and lasting relief. Doan's Kid- ney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial.” A Free TRIAL of this great Kidney medicine, which cured Mr. Walls, will be mailed to any part of the United States on application.

Ly Women as Dispensers of Medicine Although the outside world knows but little about it, there are some hun- dreds of women who spend their work- ing hours in mixing drugs and dispens- ing medicines. Some have passed on and become chemists, the first woman chemist in London having qualified as long ago as 1875. But there are many who are simply dispensers in the dis- pensing rooms of the large hospitals, or helping private doctors, or employ- ed by the large dispensing chemists and in the laboratories of large dyeing and chemical works. To a great extent these women are the daughters of med- ical men, for the fact that the portals of this profession were open and, com- paratively speaking, were easy for wo- men to enter, has hardly been realized until lately by others. Many apothecaries say women make much better dispensers than men; foi they are neater and take up the profes- sion more as a life work. Men who have failed in their examinations fall back upon dispensing, but women go in for it, and yot1 know women are nat- urally more careful in little things; they are more accurate. This is no doubt why they get on so well in this profes- sion. They are much neater than men are; you go into a man’s dispensary after a busy morning, perhaps after a rush, and you wouldn’t be able to find a thing—he wouldn't himseli—not a thing; but if it is a woman who does the dispensing you will soon see the difference. Eveay bottle will be in its place, everything neat, spick and span, and ready fcr use in a moment. No time is wasted there in a glorious hunt around for the simplest thing. How Ermines are Captured Perfect fur, of the delicate ermine at least, would be marred by the ordinary snare, so the trapper devises as cun- ning a death for the ermine as the er- mine devises when it darts up through the snow with its spear teeth clutched in the throat of a poor rabbit, writes Agnes C. Laut, in Leslie's Monthly. Smearing his hunting knife with grease, he lays it across the track. The little ermine comes trotting in dots and dashes and gallops and dives to the knife. That greasy smell of meat it knows, but that frost-silvered bit of steel is something new. The knife is frosted like ice. Ice the ermine has licked, so he licks the knife. But alas for the resemblance between ice and steel! Ice turns to water under the warm tongue; steel turns to fire that blisters and holds the foolish little stoat by his inquisitive tongue, a hopeless prisoner till the trapper comes. And, lest marauding wolverine or lynx should come first and gobble up price- less ermine, the trapper comes soon. And that is the end for the ermine. Some Morning Thoughts Keep yourself {from the fatal malady of bad humor, from grumbling, from : little irritations, from rudeness. | Tomorrow is only a stranger, when he is today consider how you shall en- . tertain him.

Dr. M. C, Gee’s Experience. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal.. he says: “There isa general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines. Bul when any one medicine cures hain- dreds of people, it demonstrates its own value and does not need the ¢n- dorsement of the profession. ‘“Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that itis a valu- able remedy. 1have frequently ad- vised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless men- struation, cures leucorrhoea and svarian troubles, and builds up ihe entire system. I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies | know of. 1 heartily endorse your medicine.”’—M. C. Gee, M. D. Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness as it is cominonls called. Especially in the first few week: of warm weather do the disagreeable symptoms of female weakness make them selves apparent. In crisp, cold weather chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do uot feel so persistently the debilitating effects of the drain upon the system, but at thet approach of symmer with its lassitude and tired feelings. the sufferer with pelvic ca tarrh feels the need of a strengthening tonic. Peruna is not only the best spring tonic for such cases, but if persisied in will effect a complete cure. Write for a copy of “Health and Beauty,” written especially i for women by Dr. Hartman. If you want to read of some cures, also, write for a copy of “Iacts and Faces.” That will sure ly convince you thag our claims are valid. If vou do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna | write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving @ | full statement of your case and he wil be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
