Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach
by Pe-ru-na.

people who are suffering from catarrh
of the stomach who are wasting preci-
Gus time, and enduring needless suffer-
ing. The remedies they try only tenn
porarily palliate the distress, but never
effect cure. Remedies for dyspepsia
have multiplied so rapidly that they
are becoming as numerous as the leaves
of the forest, and yet dyspepsia con-
tinues to flourish in spite of them all.
This is due to the fact that the cause OF
dyspepsia is not recognized as catarrh.
II there Is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that IL
in every particular adapted to dyspep-
STA, that remedy is Peruna. This REM
edy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
DR.. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium, Columbus, o., says:
in my large Practice and cprrespon-
dence I have yet to learn Of single
case of atomic. dyspepsia which has not
either been greatly benefited or cured
by Peruna."
No one suffering with catarrh Of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight,
can be well or happy. 1t is the cause
of so many distressing symptoms that
it is a most dreaded disease. Peruna
acts Immediately on the seat OF the
trouble, the infiamed mucous mem
branes lining the stomach and a last
ing cure is effected.
II you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

On learning of Adelbert Hays mel
ancholy fate the class to which he
belonged decided to abandon an elab-
crate programme which had been ar
ranged in connection with the univer-

of this intention and insisted that ev-

Poet May Become OIL Ma.nate.

Joaquin Miller is likely to become
an oil magnate within the next few
months. A few years ago, while lee
turing in Texas, the poet made a good
deal of money and invested it in a
tract of 700 acres. He let the land
alone and is now told that oil has been
found on all sides of his property and
that his tract of 700 acres is supposed
to be in the best part of the oil belt.
