CATARRH OF
THE PHARYNX.
Clearing out^your throat every day,
all day. Thai Is \Vhat you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
If you were to - go to a doctor ho
would tell you that you havo phar-.
yngitis. If you v.ere to look Into
your own throat you would find
back of the soft palate o. red. lumpy,
granular appearance of t'?rt back_pft: t
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call it, follculr.r
pharyngitis. It causes you eons tan:
annoyance. You are always makir:>
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't hold your throat I
still. -Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse In the morning. .r
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That Is
_the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes In the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every mom
, ing. Cold salt water. That clears
'X' out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment,
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for a .week.
You will be convinced.. Of course.
? Peruna will not entirely relieve you
'in a week. That is too much to ex
pect of any remedy. But it will bene
fit - you po much you will be con
vinced. Yes. it will.' It has done
this many times.
Follcular pharyngitis. Big words.
* Almost a!; bad as the disease! Hut if
you take Peruna for one. 'month reg- '
ularly. you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you will ,
.* have a perfect right to forget the big
words too.
People who object to liquid medi
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Here's to the land of the long-leaf and bright yellow pine.
Where the tree grow up so fast, so tall and so fine, & *
That though the saw mill and the axe may have full sway;
Yet another new forest is born in a day. ? \
E&nd of peanuts, cotton, and the bright yellow weed;
Pdrsinunons. potatoes and everything for feed.
Berries, melons and? our cornucupia will show
That everything raised this side the tropics, we grow.
The fish of the sea pay* tribute on sound and stream.
The fowls from the North comes with the frosts's first bright gleam.
Pond and creek abound with g&me-speckle tind the bass. v
In field and meadow. Bob White nestles in the grass.
A land of grejft jJlenty, where the pastures are green. 4
And the fat flocks oesides the still waters are seen.
And the best of all. if you will just stop to think!
We have grape-juice, bott*rmilk and water to drink.

Here's to the land where the mountains are the highest, *
Here's to the land where the sea-shore is the longest.
Here's to the land 'where the maidens are the fairest.
Here's to the North State where- the men are the bravest.
Peopled by a bold race that must be free.
It is her's not just to seem, but rather to be.
Her tokens of pleasure are hef working-mans tools.
Her music marks progress in the bells of her schools.
The hum of her wheels drowns the echo of the sea;
The scream of her whistles, the Wood-thrush's loud, sweet plea r
The power of her waters, and her mines of gold.
Will sooner or later bring her riches untold.
Her hard-woods and minerals are known far and wide;
But wrapt in her bosom are rare treasures beside.
The unfolding of this wealth will come in a day; A
The keen-eyed capitalist is- looking this way. ^
. . * ?*
Her people, the same that first landed on her coast;
Holding the faith of the fathers has been her boast.
Her temples of worship adorn 'hamlet and town.
Where the gospel is preached and\high critics held down.

The Down Homer may roam, but he will surely find
That his land is noV leaving all others behind.
Here's to the land of long-leaf and bright fellow pine.
Where the Mocking-bird sings in the Scuppernong vine.
