Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
"DR. s. B. HARTMAN 81 Co., Columbus,
Ohio: commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine.
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when got one of your books, The Ills
of Life" was in bed at the time.
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
was too far gone, and might as well
PERUNA was the medicine / needed, and
intended to try bottle. 1t proved sue
cess in breaking the chills, and if it had
not done one thing more, would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
SO we'll, as they all thought l was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
I. I recommend it to everybody see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. I
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as priced it very high
ly. The other got the name of the PB-
RuHA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingram's,
though nothing compared to being SO bad.
There was lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance il in few days, but
thought would attend to that myself,
so put little fly blister on Il and it
opened; then put poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve ON all the time.
1t got so bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered. My
head felt SO strange sometimes, thought
I was going crazy. Since have used
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. I feel like letting everybody
know all about it."
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa, writes:
Your PERUNA is a good medicine, and
we sell lots of it. Will you please send
us some more Ills of Life with few

The Arcadia Advance of Saturday
says: "The revival at the Baptist
church closed Tuesday night, with
a list of 81 accessions to the church,
of whom Is are candidates for

Rastom Culsgraph: "The farmers
in the northern portion of the parish
we are told are turning their atten-
tien to stock raising and diversified
farming more than they have ever
done heretofore, especially horses
and mules. Whenever this system
becomes general throughout the
country, then we may expect to see
material improvement in the coun-
try"
Raston Cdl;graph: ga writer for
the Bossier Banner gives a fine
description of the resources and
natural advantages of Bossier par
ish. Bottom lands are estimated at
from S5 to $40, and hill lands from
30 cents to % per acre. Every va
fiety of crop that grows in this lati

amount of rich bottom land. North
Loufsianais the poor mans paradise
and the fact will be demonstrated te

kinds of crops and have less to buy
here than can be done scarcely any
