BL,xzARp DAMAGES.
The worst Weather In Many Years
for Cntnrrh, Colds, La Grippe, Etc.

Chronic catarrh is the everywhere
present, unavoidable result OF the pres
ent winter. As the skin covers the
outside OF the human body, so the
mucous membrane lines the inside of
the body Every vital organ, every
delicate passage, every duct and Ves-
sci is lined with soft. velvety mucous
membrane. This membrane is COM
posed mainly OF finely woven net
work Of very small blood vessels These
blood vessels, when healthy, are very
elastic, which regulates the flow OF
blood through them. When diseased
the vessels lose their elasticity and
become clogged up with stngnant
blood This disease is known as
chronic catarrh. Almost everybody Is
affected more or less with 1t. These
delicate membranes are 50 exposed to
sudden changes OF climate that few
people indeed escape wholly. Catarrh
may be located In the eyes, nose,
throat, ears, bronchial tubes, lungs,
stomach. kidneys, bladder or pelvic or
gans, Wherever 1t is located 1t Will
produce symptoms peculiar to tho
place.
Very soon after commencing TO take
Pe-ru-na the blood vessels of the mu-
cous membranes begin to regain their
elasticity. As soon as the vessels are
restored to their normal vigor the Ca
tarrh Is cured. This is exactly what
Pe-ru-na will do; 1t removes the cause
of catarrh by restoring the strength of
these vessels. Pe-rti-na never falls
when used faithfully. Every winter
adds thousands to the list of victims
Of chronic catarrh. Pe-ru-na is both
preventive and cure. A dose before
each meal will absolutely prevent ca
tarrh. aud should be taken by every
one in Indictment weather.

EVANGELIST MOODY COMING.
Il is Expected lie VIII Hold Ten

A great many people in Fort Worth
and the surrounding country will be
interested to know that It is now con-
iidently expected that ID. l.. Moody, the
great evangelist, will hold ten days
meeting in Fort Worth from March 10
To q, Rev j. Morgan Wells is daily eN-
pecting to hear from Mr.. Moody and
thinks that he will consent to come to
this city at the time mentioned From
Dallas Mr., Moody will go to Paris to
conduct a ten days meeting, and from
Paris 1t is expected that he will come
here, 1t is also thought that Mr.
Sankey. the great singer. will be here
with Mr.. Moody. AS there is no build
ing in Fort Worth large enough to ac-
commodate the immense crowds that
always attend his meetings, 1t will be
necessary to erect special tabernacle
for his use. This can be done at cost
of about $1,000
