Il was given thorough examination with

me worthy of consideration, and made up
my mind to try bottle of Pe-ru-na. Before
the bottle was half gone l noticed change

and have not an ache or pain anywhere.
My bowels move reguluarly every day, and

Caroline Hansen, a young woman in the
employ Of Doctor Eliza B. Mills as a do

tain woman in the west end Of town was i'll

had similar calls before, she got in the cart.
but the young man. instead of stopping at
the place he had named, drove on. When in
the vicinity of the tail-race which carries
the surplus water from the canal, the young
women asked where he was going, to which
he made an evasive answer. At the same
time he made insulting proposals. Miss
Hansen then attempted to get out of the
vehicle, when he seized her and a struggle
followed, during which both fell to the
ground. The girls clothing was badly
torn and she was knocked down and re-
peatedly kicked in the face and portions
OF the body by her assailant. Passersby

but not before the man had made his es
cape.
Miss Hansen's injuries are severe, her face
being badly bruised and cut. From the
description she gave Of the cart and horse
it was found to have been hired from a
livery barn by Lester Strong, and as her
remembrance of the young man tailed with
his makeup. he was arrested.

.,........# ueul cure. fe-Tu-nd
is surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal
affections o." T j. d. Botkin.
This is case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years, ac-
cording to his statement, and Pe-runa has
at once come to his relief, promptly accom-
plishing for him more benefit than he had
been able to find in all other remedies dur
ing quarter of century. 1t stands to rea-
son that man of wealth and influence, like
a congressman of the great United States,
has left no ordinary means untried and no
stone unturned to find cure. II such
cures as these do not verify the claim not
only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the
stomach, but also that Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh of the stomach, it is impossible to
imagine how any evidence could do SO.
In catarrh of the stomach, as well as
in catarrh of any other part of the body,
Pe-ru-na is the remedy. AS has been often
said, If Pe-runa will cure catarrh of one
part, it will cure catarrh OF any other part
of the body Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, and the remedy that will cure 1t
anywhere will cure it everywhere In speak
ing of the many cures Pe-runa has made in
cases of catarrh OF the stomach, DR.. Hart
man says: Nov the only reason / can pos
sibly imagine why | am more successful in
treating dyspepsia than many others, is be-
cause ! recognize the disease as being ca
tarrh of the stomach. ! Immediately begin
treatment for catarrh as if / were treating
the same disease in any other organ. The
result is permanent cure. People who have
been victims of dyspepsia for fve ten, fif-
teen, twenty, even twenty-five years, find
prompt relief, and after thorough course
of treatment almost invariably experience
"a permanent cure"
