c. w. Kramer. Sheldon, Iowa writes
as follows II had been troubled with
catarrh for over two years; so bad at
last that l could not work but two or
three days in week. tried two doc
tors without any relief. At times l
was so bad that | could not hear. Az
ter using nine bottles of Pe-ru-na l
was completely cured and believe Pc
ru.na will do all you claim if the di-
rections are followed. heartily recon-
mend it to all who are afflicted with
catarrh. | should call my cure last
ing, for | have been working in an
elevator for three years among the
dirt and dust of wheaD.'
No greater test could be made Of
any cure, than three years exposure
to the dust and dirt of a grain eleva-
tor. This letter is a sample of those
we receive daily. They come unso-
licited and unrewarded. They express
the sentiments of the writer in words
that are direct and forcible.
A book on Catarrh will be sent to
any address by the Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company, Columbus,
Ohio.

Now Kiss Tie.

A funny incident occurred in a
neighboring city, says an exchange,
few days since, and one too good to
be lost. One of our celebrated COM
posers has written pretty song en-
titled, kiss Me-" A very pretty,
blushing maid, having heard of the
song, and thinking she would get it,
with some others, stepped into mu-
sic store to make purchase One OF
the clerks, a modest young man,
stepped up to wait on her. The
young lady threw back her veil, say
ing:
II want Rock me to sleep
The clerk got the song and put it
before her.
Now" said the young lady" II
want The Wandering Refugee. ;"
eyes, ma am, said the clerk, bow
ing, and in few minutes he produc-
ed the Refugee. !"
Nov, Kiss Me-" said the young
lady, of course meaning the song
above mentioned.
Inc poor ClSih SJSS P0PPN1 49,
almost, as he looked at the young
lady in utter establishment, for he was
not aware that song by that name
had been published.
"Wh-what did you say, Miss?'
"'Kiss Me, said she.
II can't do it; never kissed
young lady in my life, said the
clerk.
And about that time veil dropped,
young lady left in hurry, clerk
felt sick, and dealer lost the sale of
his music.
