A Queens Opinion.

i'm. Queen writes from Johnston, w.
Va, that he has been sorely afflicted for
several years, but he was urged t. try Pr
RUNA, which he did, and he now feels
that he is about over his trouble, and con-
siders it the greatest medicine in the
world. He says he has to 60 or send a
distance of fifteen miles to obtain PERU
MA, but IL will repay him for this.
Ellwood Shallcross, former editor Of
the Saturday Journal, Wheeling, w. Va,
says: Gentlemen: Some time ago
was afflicted with apain in my back in the
region Of the kidneys, and suffered con-
siderably. Having read your advertise
ment, went to Logan g. CO., Of this city,
and purchased bottle of PERUNA, which
/ took, and it resulted in the complete re.
moval Of the pain. think can safely

Mr.Aaron ShrcfIler, Alma, Marion coun-
ty, ILL.,, writes: "DR. S. B. HARTMAN &
Co, Columbus, o. Dear Sirs: Myself and
wife have taken three bottles Of your med
icines and received much benefit by the
use of them. My wife was troubled with
neuralgia, headache and weak stomach.
Her headache hes not troubled her for the
last two weeks, and her stomach is much
better. She took only PERUNA. I used
both medicines, and my general health is
so much improved that i feel like new
man. My stomach is very much better,
and the MANALIN keeps my bowels all
right. We intend to keep taking the med
icines until we are permanently cured"
Evans T. Jones, Prospect, Marion Co.,
O., says: After having taken medicine
from different physicians Of this place
without any relief, I was induced to try
your PERUNA, which I purchased Of Cook
Bros, druggists, Of this place, and after
using some six bottles of the same, feel
very much benefited. Am sure it will
finally work an entire cure"
Il. J. Ewing, Cattletsburg, KY, writes:

tracted severe cold, attended with bad
cough; then, being exposed during late
flood, added to my disability. have
taken your PERUNA with good results.
My cough has entirely left, soreness is

Cacti were spread out for inspection in

to 200 little greCnish balls, studded
thiGkly with small Spincs or prickles.

tries to steal bunch, but they have to
be handled with pitchtorks, and no one
was thus provided"

wanted a bunch, aud for three or four
days after they were unloadei they
sold rapidly. When arrived they were
all in blossom, and that is what sold
