ton had arranged for the entertainment of
the visitors and the dinner and supper were
served in the Sunday school room connected

Every Man to Know the Truth
About Himself.

Have you frontal headache, watery
| eyes, snuffing or discharge from the nose,
| scabs in the nose, stopping up of one
or both nostrils, dropping from back part
OF nose! Have you any or all of these

Pc-ru-na cures catarrh wherever locat-
ed. DIR. Hartman has used this remedy
for nearly forty years in the treatment
of catarrh. Pe-ru-na is an internal rem
edy and reaches the seat of the difficulty.

manently. After using this remedy for
one month, as directed on the bottle, Il
letter should be written to Dr. Hartman
stating the case. and he will give prompt
