IN All It's Phases and Stages Cured by

They do SO because they have learned
| by experience ttha it is valuable meds
icine.
Not only is it a valuable medicine but
| it is applicable to the climatic ailments
Of winter and summer. Extremes OF
heat and cold inthe United States make
| ita land Of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
| is more especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unVentiIated
sleeping rooms are the principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
bitter experience, that catarrhal dis
eases are not only the most numerous
of all other diseases put together, but
they are the hardest to cure.
Peruna is specific for this class Of
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place. Thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use OF simply
a bottle. People who have spent large
sums to be cured Of catarrh, have turned
to Peruna as a last resort, and been
cured by the use of single bottle.
It is a sure cure for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe and catarrh in it's many phases.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is a prompt and
never-failing cure.
Mrs. Sarah Jones, Pleasant Plain, Ia.
writes: "I wish to acknowledge my ap-
probation of the benefits received from
Peruna and Manalin in the treatment OF
what was pronounced systemic eatarrh.
Il took Peruna for while and diScOn-
tinued the use of it as l felt so much
better. The latter part Of the winter
and early spring there was SO much
sickness here, an epidemic of colds and
pneumonia prevailed. had an attack
of cold in catarrhal form, suffering with
facial neuralgia and headache, but con-
tinued taking Peruna and Manalin and
was soon restored without being pros
trated with weakness"

of Dr. b. NJ. Failor of this place on the
night of Sept. 18th. Hammondtree
walked into the police station at OF
tumwa yesterday afternoon and shook
hands with Chief John Gray. He start
ed to leave the Office, but the chief re-
membered his face and placed him I'M
der arrest. The. prisoner offered no re-
sistance and appeared to be under the
influence of some drug. He admits hav-
ing been in Newton on Sept. IA. and
says that DIR. Failor. whom he knew
well, did favor for him that day. He
first said he left Newton after the MUIR
der and then denied making the state
ment saying he left before the murder.
He went to Marshalltown, Mason City,
Ackley. Albert Lea, then doubled back
to Newton and then to Ottumwa. He
formerly played the piano at a house Of
i'll repute at Ottumwa. He denies hav-
ing had nand in the murder, but says
he thinks he knows who did it. He says
he did not know he was wanted till his
return to Newton. Chief Gray thinks
he has the right man. He has tele-
graphed the sheriff here to come after
the prisoner.
