CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of
the most influential and best
:. known men in the State of Kansas
Whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous remedy as Peruna
could not have we'll escaped the atten-
ton OF SO famous man. He not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affection
of twenty-five years standing. PerunA
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. This is a fact that
the people are rapidly finding out, but
there are still large multitude who
need to know it.
Mr.. Frank Richter, OF Winona, Mimi,
says in a letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Company:
LAS a remedy for catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. I know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna cured me,
and know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this disease. It gives me
great pleasure to testify to the cura-
tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is
we'll tested and frequently used rem
edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is
unsurpassed.
my catarrh was principally located
In my head and stomach. I tried many
remedies without success. tried sew
eral doctors, but they were unable to
cure me. read of Peruna in the pa
pers and five bottles cured me."-
Frank Richter.
> The gastric juice is secreted by the
mucous follicles of the stomach.
When this juice is normal it digests
(dissolves) the food without produce
ing any disturbance whatever. If,
however, the gastric juice is not nor
NAL, digestion causes many disagree
able symptoms. This condition is
known as indigestion. Peruna will
cure this.

A report shows that in the last 20
years the sales of stamps by the post
office department have increased
about threefold, although in the same
time the increase in population has
been less than so per cent. This is
the more surprising because even two
decades ago the Americans were
known as a race of letter writer's and
used the mails probably more than
any other people upon the face of the
globe. Evidently the letter-writing
habit, like many other habits, grows
upon the victims, but in this case
there is no cause for alarm. tf5sS:.
