CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible 1naladV
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant IN the blood for
years, OF until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must Be
eliminated from the blood-every vestaee
OF It driven ont This S. S. S. does. and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced ont

HALF. OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
Is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
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.
It 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 attestcd by the following tes-
timonlais sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. D. R.. Ramsey writes in a recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
any 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 The Nose.
MI. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured Of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruaa. MY case was
a severe one.'-Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh of The Throat
b. II. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes:
"I suffered with catarrh Of the throat
for five. years. 1 was induced to try
Peruna. Ihave used five bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. 81. Runyan.
Catarrh Of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1SS Beech street
Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me Of catarrh OF
the middle ear. feel better than I have
for several y~ears."-Archie Godin.

LESSONS DRAWN FROM AN OLD
STATESMAN.

We are not one Of the admirers Of the
late Nathaniel Macon as North Caro-
liHa's greatest man. We hold thar Gas
ton, Badger, Benton, Pettigrew, Vance
and perhaps others were ahead of him.
But Macon was a citizen to venerate.
TO admire, to honor, Tor he was a genu-
Inc man, a careful. conservative hon
est, sterling North Carolinian, brave
IN war and wise in peace. He is a great
credit TO this his native state. We took
time recently to run over a . we
saw in the Raleigh Post from the pen
Of Mr.. Clarence Poe, a Fayetteville
young man we guess. 1t is over two
and a half columns in length, and is in
structive as well as entertaining. We
learned some things we had not known
and in the reading reviewed some
things we had forgotten. Mr.. Macon
was born in Warren county. but at the
time Of his birth in 175S, it was a part
Of Granville county. His father was a
Virginian, his mother a North Caro-
linian- He was partly educated at Mas
sau Hall, Princeton, New Jersey, and
left to enter the army to fight for the
south. He returned to Princeton, left a
second time. to become a soldier. He
was a high private" and refused pay
for his services. He was "at the fall O;

affected my lungs. I took Peruna which
cured me thoroughly. Inow feel better

Catarrh Of The Bladder.
Mr.. John Smith, 81 s. Third street,
Atchison, Kan, writes:

the time I wrote to you I was under the
care Of my home doctor, and had been
