J. Oswald of this place. Mr. Oswald suffered much with Rheuma- tism and was treated by doctor after doctor with the result that he got no better whatever. They seemed un- able to do anything for him, and he continued to suffer till he heard of ‘Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Oswald began a treatment of this remedy, which very soon did for him what the doctors had failed to do and they cannot understand it. This is the same remedy that cured Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treas- urer, of a very severe case of Rheu- matism some years ago and which has since had an unbroken record of suc- cess in curing all forms of Rheuma- tism and Kidney Trouble.

Water Cure For a Broncho How Major Pershing Subdued Bucking Steed That Had “The entire press of the ‘empire,” was the reply—New York Been Given Up As Incorrigible—American Cavalry : Officers Can Ride. “Major John J. Pershing won fame when he captured the insurgent stronghold in Mindanao after a des- perate engagement,” said an army officer the other day. “Pershing is a remarkable fellow and a splendid of- ficer, but I doubt if the best story on him has reached this country. He is & former cavalry officer and could give pointers to a Comanche on how to ride a horse. “The South African war nearly ex- hausted our stock of cavalry horses, and the British agents were paying such big prices that we had to take what we could get in the Philippines. Consequently we received the scum of the Wyoming and Montana ranges, and a worse set of bronchos you never saw. “One day Pershing’s command got a drove of the beasts that had come over on a transport, and it was discov- ered that they had to be broken be- fore the stock of mounts could be re- plenished. Our men were good riders, who had been put through the monkey drill until they could ride like Cos- sacks, but there was one flea-bitten roan that no one could ‘stick’ to for more than two minutes. He was pro- nounced an ‘outlaw’ or broncho that couldn’t be ridden. The sergeant told Major Pershing that the animal was of no value and ought to be shot. The Ark of Prophet Search for the Ark of the Covenant, or some traces of it, in the Hill of Tara continues. Belief that the Ark may be there is based on the following theory: The Bible relates than when Ne- buchadnezzar carried off to Babylon the better classes of the people of Ju- dah he gave orders that the prophet Jeremiah should have full liberty to do as he liked. After the insurrection in which Gedaliah, who had been made gov- ernor by Nebuchadnezzar, was slain, the chief men decided that it was dan- gerous to remain in Judah and face | the anger of the King of Babylon. Therefore, they left for Egypt, carry- ing with them the King’s daughters and Jeremiah. It is considered almost certain that Jeremiah, belonging as he did to the priestly order, would take with him such Israelitish objects as Nebuchad- nezzar had left in Judah as being of no value. These would include the stone on which Jacob laid his head at Bethel, the pot of manna, Aaron’s rod and two tablets of stone upon which the Commandments were en- graved, which were stored in the Ark. During their stay in Egypt these refugees fell into idolatry, causing great pain and annoyance to Jeremiah. The retirement from the United States senate on March 4 of the vet- eran John P.

The Big Dog That Keeps Cool, Hunts, Protects and Fights on Occasion. In warm weather the St. Bernard dog will hunt the shadiest, coolest spot and if opportunity offer will rap- idly excavate an underground retreat for himself in which he can wholly escape the heat of the sun. In the cool of the day, however, he is ready swim in the nearest pond or river to a woodchuck hunt or a search for burglars. No noisy snapish fellow is he, forever with a chip on his shoul- der, like so many small dogs—nor is his anger easily aroused, but “beware the fury of the patient——!” The sweetest Bernard ever born can fling aside his halo, says Country Life in America, and punish his an- tagonist as joyfully. as any bulldog, upon sufficient provocation, and he doesn’t care to stop until his work is finished. A quiet, gentle watchman, he uses persuasion in preference to force and finally depends upon his weight rather than his teeth to settle matters in his favor. “J don’t believe you know how to ride him,’ said Pershing. “‘Qur best men have tried him for three days and he has thrown them all’ said the sergeant. ‘He just dumped me.’ “I think I'll try him,’ said Pershing, as he walked out to where the roan stood with saddle and bridle still on, waiting for his next victim. “Then the men gathered to see the fun. But the minute Pershing vaulted into the saddle the men began to feel sorry for that broncho. He was a big beast. He jumped into the air and came down, stiff-legged, in regular broncho fashion. But Pershing kept his head up and gave him the spure until you could hear the brute squeal between lunges. Then the officer headed his mount for the river. When the horse struck the water up to his knees he didn’t jump so much. He couldn’t. He tried to lie down, but Pershing was off like a flash, and was in the saddle again as soon as the horse got en his feet. This went on for fifteen minutes, and then the roan gave up. Pershing rode him back as meek as a street car horse. “Tt don’t think you will have any more trouble with that horse,’ he said as he went into get some dry clothes. “And they didn’t.

This theory is supported by the last verse of the forty-fifth chapter of Jere- miah. Jeremiah would still doubtless carry with him the religious relics and Irish tradition has it that among his com- panions was one at least of the King of Judah’s daughters. The vessel carrying the refugees was wrecked on the coast of Ireland, and the youthful King of that part fell in love with the King’s daughter, who was given him in marriage by Jere- miah upon his promising to establish a college at Tara and promote learn- ing and religion. This the King promised to do, and tradition says that upon the death of his wife he raised a noble cairn (the famous Hill of Tara) over her re- mains, and buried in it the Ark and some of the relics. Jacob’s stone later on passed to Ar- gylishire, and thence to Scone, whence it was brought by Edward I. of Eng- land to Westminster abbey, and now rests in the Coronation chair in that building.

The doctors advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Reading of the value of Peruna, I thought it best to give this well-known remedy a trial, so I changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am to-day in perfect health, and have not felt so well for fifteen years.”"—Mrs, Eva Bartho. | Giving a Dinner Brought on an At. | Miss Louise Mahon, 3 Glen Baille Street, Toronto, Ont., Can., Secre' of the King’s Daughters and Secretary of Lady Macca- bees writes :—" If all women knew of the benefits to be derived from taking Peruna we would have many happier and more healthful women. My health has never been too robust, and I am easily fatigued and can not stand much. About a year ago I was so run down that I had to take to my bed, and became weaker and weaker. A friend advised me to try Peruna, and I have great reason to grateful, for in two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I was perfectly well, and I now find that my health is much more robust than formerly, so that I take Peruna once or twice a month and keep well.""—Louise Mahon, Peruna is such a perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used it they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once. The pekabo ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weakening drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Peruna. | Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis., writes as follows in regard to Peruna: “*For years I have suffered with back- ache and severe pains in the side. I doctored so much that I became discour- A school friend told me how very much Peruna had benefited her and I sent out for a bottle, which did more to relieve me than all the other medicine I have ever taken. 1 -used it faithfully for two weeke cured me.

About a year ago my health was completely broken down, had backache, dizziness and irregularities, and life seemed dark indeed. We had used Peruna in our home asa tonic, and for colds and catarrh, and B decided to try it for my trouble. In less than three months I became regular, my pains had en! disappeared, and I am now perfectly well." —Mra. Anna Martin. —e—nesns=snee oe aes Mrs. Wm.

I was in misery somewhere most of the time. _My back was very weak, and my flesh so tender it hurt me to lean against the back of a chair. I had pain under my shoulder-blades, in the small of back and hips. I sometimes wished my- self out of this world.

One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. F Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as— Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. i This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal us¢ as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses ‘and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon- tinued when it is no longer required. ‘All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects.
