sEAsoNABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health In Fall and
Early Winter.

A change from warm To cold Ia
always attended with more danger
than from a cold TO warm tenn
perature, hence the greater NOR
tality from lung and throat diseases
at this season Of the year as COM
pared with spring.
The best protection against colds
is not so much in extra clothing as
in good digestion.
II the digestion and circulation
are good. colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor cir
eulation of the blood and when in
this condition severe colds are con-
traoted ON the slightest provoca-
ton.
People who make regular prac-
tiee of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals are free from
colds. simply because their diges-
ton Is perfect, the heart strong and
regular. and the whole system for
titled against disease.
1t requires little argument to
convince any one that the best safe
guard against colds. pneumonia
and changes OF temperature is a
good stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals are dissolved and ming
ling with the food cause Il to be
promptly digested and assimilated;
they do this because they contain
nothing but harmless digestive ele-
ments, which digest meat. eggs and
other food even when the stomach
itself is weak and faccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make
people we'll and keep them we'll
and the best habit you can acquire
is to keep daily use of them at
meals to make the digestive organs
strong and vigorous.

HALF OUR ills
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, Smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timoniais sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. D. R. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
"My son, Leon Ramsey, four years of
age, suffered with catarrh of the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever."-D. r. RAMSEY,
Catarrh Of Tho Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, e52 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh of Tho Throat.
B. H. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes:
81 suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. was induced to try
Peruna. Ihave used five bottles and am
perfectly well l."-B. H. Runyan.
Catarrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1873 Beech street,
Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middle ear. I feel better than have
for several years."-Archie Godin.
