Had L?t AH Hope of Erer BdagWell Road story of the fight f or health and victory aa toU by Mr*, hnw A. Hall, Box 31, Nor. ris City, Illinois, "About twelve years ago my hc.tlth railed. I could not eat any thing without suffering. I had heartburn, sour stomach, palpita tion of the heart, smothering spells, pains in my back and sides and a cough almost like consumption. Kothn.g helped me. I grew worse and was able to sit up only part of the time. I had lo.->t all hope of ever being any better when someone gave me a Pe-ru-na book.*" The book described my ease so tru'y that I began to take Fe-ru-.ia. After two and a halt battles I could eat with out suffering and improved from then on. I took eight bottles and .fe.lv like a new person. That was fourteen years ago. So many dis eases arc clue to catarrh that I think Pe-ru-na the greatest family medicine in the world." For more than half a century Pe-ru-na has been doing just such wo:k as this.

A western editor. college professor and publicist, shaking of remarkable memories that he had .observed, says : "I've known some good memories. One was that of a western congress man who knows fifty thousand people in his home state and can recall every meeting with every man. I have heard Blind Tom and Blind Boone, musical prodigies who could reproduce the most difficult composition played in their hearing. I've known AI Hicks, the Montana stock inspector, who knew six hundred stock brands, their owners, their rairge and every vent anil r>>ad brand, they had ever used. But I think the most remarkable mem ory feat was that of a negro girl stu i lent in a high school where 1 once taught. "I had a class in advanced algebra. ; and in the textbook was a long list of problems on which we worked for weeks. For examination I assigned any two problems on a given page, eueh student to make choice for hlm self. '. .
