A WHOLE VILLAGE
Attacked by Grip-0ne Family Es.
capes by Using Pe-ru-na.


During the winter 1 and my fam
fly of six were taken with la grippe.
The disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it.
Our doctors treated it as best they could,
but were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. AS soon as my family were
taken sick went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles Of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who wers treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick so short time as myself and
family. After we were all we'll we had
one bottle of Pe-ru-na left.

WARD 8 DELEGATION.
Some Talk of Chairman Patridee's
Defeat for Committeeman.


Some interesting developments are
expected before the matte. of who will
represent ward 8 in next years repub-
lican city committee is settled. A
movement is already on foot to replace
Herbert A. Booth with e. A. D. Moss.
The original intention was to place a
ticket in the caucuses bearing the
names of Chairman Leon Rice Part
ridge, Alexander H. Bullock and E. A.
D. Moss, but a counter plan suggested
is to have another ballot on hand bear
ing the name of Mr.. Booth in place of
Chairman Partridge. 1t has been
openly talked the past few days that
an attempt will be made to decapitate
Mr.. Partridge, and that in this event
Mr.. Moss might be the next chairman
of the committee,
Chairman Partridge has not hesitated
to express himself in vigorous language
on several points that have arisen dur
ing the past year, notably the enlarge
ment of the committee, and this to-
gether with his stand on other mat
tiers that have come up from time to
time has ergendered some feeling.
