WOman's Burdens

are many. On every side they cry
out for relief. Hundreds have
come to believe that there is no
cure for the distressing ailments
that sap beauty and life.
This is an error. There Is a
cure for everything. If one medi-
cine does not relieve, 1t is the
wrong one. This is simple conf
mon sense.
Most woman1y arrangements
spring from congestion or a catarrh-
al irritation of the mucous men,
brane lining the pelvic organs.
The remedy which reaches, heals
and strengthens this delicate lining,
will stop the weakening drains,
correct painful irregularities, heal
all Inflammation, and irritation.
Such a medicine is Pe-ru-na.
Hundreds Of strong, healthy wo-
men can testify to its wonderful
efficiency. 1t is just as good for
the girl in the teens as it is for her
mother, and it will prove all excel
lent tonic for both.
Pe-ru-na is not an experiment.
Its result Is not an uncertainty.
1t lives up to its claims, and
faithfully used rarely fails to effect
a permanent cure. .-.eos
A fair trial will prove this. '>'"@

to sleep ana have been in a box car
all day" The good-natured blue-coat
took the damsel to the Center street
police station, where she proved very
ungrateful for his kindness, as she per
sisted in reciting poetry in spite of
Sergeant Jones' request To dcsst. The
poetry was Of the nature that Sapho
used 10 rcciJe in ye ancient Greciaa
days.
In police court yesterday morning the
forlorn poetess gave her name as An
ME May ana was sent 10 the county

weekly turning exercises last night
before large and enthusiastic audi

is disappearing like snow before spring
rain. Sometime the last of October or
the fiNt of November they are going
to give an exhibition drill and enter
tainment, which partly accounts for
their assiduous practice.
