DR. HARTMAN SAYS
Catarrh is the Scourge of the Nine-
 teenth Century,
disorders,

Have you catarrh? Maybe you have not; but do you know that person may have catarrh of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, ca- tarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the bowels, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the bladder, and also the other pelvic organs? Are any of these organs affected in your case?
 If so, the probability is that you have chronic catarrh. So many people think that catarrh is confined to the head.
 This is not true. Catarrh may affect any organ of the body. Thousands of people who have been sick long time have catarrh, but do not know it. They have doctored for every imaginable dis ease but catarrh, and find no cure.
 They have never thought that what

each month is spent in improving the streets, alleys, etc., and building sewers.
 The city is just now preparing to com mence work on its new water works sys- tenn. An immense reservoir will be built at the Crawl Reach Springs. one mile from town. A four-inch water main will bring the water to the city.
 The citys revenues from the dispen- sary will cover all the expense of this undertaking without borrowing dollar or levying any on the citizens and prop erty owners. This is perhaps the only incorporated town in Alabama that Ievies no business or property tax on it's eiti- gems.

they had been calling dyspepsia, or liver complaint, or kidney disease, or female weakness, is catarrh of these organs. If they did know that this was the case they would get Peruna and cure them- selves.
 Peruna cures catarrh of any locality. If catarrh is in the head, Peruna cures it; if in the stomach, Peruna cures it, likewise of the liver or kidneys or any other organs of the human body.
 Everybody can get free copy of a book on catarrh and other diseases of winter by writing at once to The Peruna Medicine Company, of Columbus, Ohio, 64 pages, instructively illustrated.
 If you do not receive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
