small annoyances irritate you. Peruns

II have now used it for three sear
sons, and find it very valuable and eM.
cacious."-Miss Marie Coats.
Diseased nerves are traceable d.
rectly to poor digestion, and poor ID.
gestion is directly traceable to O.
tarrh. With the slightest catarrh OF
the stomach no one can have good die
gestion.
Very few Of the many women who
have catarrh of the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after meals, have sour
stomach, q sensation of weight or
heaviness, a fullness, irregular appe-
tite, drowsiness, gnawing, empty SEN
sations, occasional pain-they all
know this; but they do not know that
their trouble is catarrh of the stom-
ach. II they did they would take Pc
runa.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. AS soon as Peruna removes
catarrh from the stomach the diges-
ton becomes good, appetite reg6i1fs
nerves strong, and trouble vanisheS.
Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not
by temporarily stimulating them, but
by removing the cause of weak nerves

cure that lasts. Remove the cause:

Peruna will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases
of systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly
and beneficially ON the diseased mu-
cous membranes, and with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can
no longer exist.
PeruAa . True Friend to women.
Mrs. F. J. Lynch, writes the follow
ing from 324 S. Division street, Grand
Rapids, Mich:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Gentlemen-''I earnestly recommend
Peruna to any suffering woman, as it
cures quickly. Last year had most
persistentcough which nothing seemed
to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did
more for me than all the doctors
seemed to do. In q couple of weeks ]
found myself in excellent health, and
have been enjoying it ever since.
Hence I look on Peruna as q true friend
to women."-Mrs. F. j. Lynch.
Peruna is equally ehicacious in cur
ing catarrh of the throat as in curing
systemic catarrh or catarrh of the
stomach. CatArrh is essentially the
same wherever located. Peruna cures
catarrh.
Peruna Makes You Feel Like q New

Miss Mary Coats, . popular young
woman Of Appleton, Wis, and pres

GOOD FORTUNE FOR TWO MEN.
Founa Great Alneeal
Wealth.

When fate has slammed . mar
down hard and upset his opinions OF
turned them inside out. she some
times takes compassion ON him ane
sets him up in business as a million,
aire. That was the way it was with
Tommy Cruise, Of Helena, Mont. ant
that is the way it has just turned
out with another man. Tommy Cruise
located the famous Drum Lur1mor
mine at time when he was neal
neighbor to starvation. His hart
luck had been persistent for year.
and his credit was worn out. His
friends were as scarce as the pro
verbal hens teeth. But Tommy hac
. good thing in the Drum LummoI
and he knew it. So sure was he OF
the fact that he refused to sell wher
the money was showed at him, al
though he was so hungry at the time
that he could have eaten his bootlegs
with relish. Tommy took q great
fortune out of the Drum Lummor
in few years and then he sold the
mine to an English syndicate fol
s.. .OOO. 900.
The other man who has just
reached the end of his hard-lucl
streak, says the Chicago Inter Ocean
is Thomas Cooney. For . long time
he was land agent in Helena for the
Northern Pacific railroad. Then he
branched out for himself, and every.
thing went wrong 50 fast that wher
the Spanish war came along Cooney
was glad to volt nteer ard go to the
front. He went in . lieutenant and
came out lieutenant. although he
had counted on finishing up his ca
reer on the BATTLEFIELD. When he got
back to Montana Cooney was "stone
broke" As a last chance he took
"a turn at mining. He had a pros.
pect known as the Blue Grass uI
in the same district as the Drum
Lummon, and he went there and fell
to work with pick and shov>l and
drill in the hopeless fashion charac-
teristic of men who have been on the
down grade financially for long
time.
One day he struck what is known
as contact lead. 1t widened into
a beautiful shute of ore, and when
Cooney had it assayed he was aston
ished to find that the ore clear across
the lead sampled" 500 a ton in
gold. Then Cooney began to exam.
inc his lead more carefully. Almost
in the center of the vein he found
streak six inches wide that was
Just studded with Stree gold" The
lead was all 'pay ore" but that
streak was a fortune in itself. Vari.
Gus assays made of it gave returns
IF from $1,000 to $500 a ton.
Cooney had prospected his lead far
enough to make certain that he is
an immensely rich man. He could
borrow $5OO,OOO tomorrow on the
Blue Grass mine. But only q week
before the "strike" half dollar
looked as big as balloon to him. Now
he doesn't need to borrow money.
He can dig out few hundred pounds
of quartz when he runs short and
convert it into cash. He believes, and
so do many experts, that the Blue
Grass mine will make him richer
than the Drum Lummon made Tom.
