yer. it is believed that the former
was dissuaded from accepting the Of

could afford to take from his bottling
business, and that the assessorship
plan was agreed to, and mutual assur-
ance given in regard to confirmation
and the electric light plant.
This is the story as it comes to US,
and it can be taken for what it is
worth. The events of the past two
weeks point in it's favor, and subse-
quent events may prove it's truth.

AFFECTS EVERY ORGAN
Does That Most Dreadful of Diseases, Chronic
 alE ;. Catarrh. ...

llfi ts Odtdfiiis ftitt
 If there is a disease among all others which people fear most, and yet which is the most prevalent of all others, 1t is chronic catarrh. Over half the people have it in some form or fanother. And yet probably not a tenth of these people know that their disease is catarrh. To distinguish catarrh, of various organs they have been named very differently.
 One person has dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another Bright's disease, an- other liver complaint, another consump- tion; another female complaint. These people would be very much surprised to hear that they are all suffering with chronic catarrh. But it is so, neverthe- less. Each one of these troubles, and a great many more,, are simply catarrh- that is chronic inflammation of the mucous lining of which ever organ is affected. These diseases are all alike in still another way; they are almost inn possible to cure. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure 1t in any other location. This is why Pe-ru-na has become so justly famous in the cure of catarrhal diseases. 1t ures catarrh wherever located. It's ct IS remain. Pe-ru-na does not palliate; it Cures.
 A 64-page book on catarrhal diseases and the effect Pe-ru-na has upon them will be sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company of Columbus, Ohio
