THE day was when men Of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
f. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. Ny little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady consider it well nigh a
specific. As a tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals."-
REV. E. G. SMITH.

The Spy predicted a short time ago
that the price of milk in the town of
Leicester would soon be raised. This
week the peddlers have talked much
on the subject but the fact is they
have not confidence enough in each
other to make a move. They have
talked on the subject, but no one cares
to be the first to raise the price. 1t is
only a few years ago when the price
of milk in the town of Leicester was
but five cents a quart. At that time
there was q movement among the
milkmen and after some consideration
they decided to raise the price to six
cents. The first man to boost the
price was Charles Rice. All the other
men followed his example except one
and the same trouble the milllmen ex-
perienced at that time is again feared
If the price is now raised. All agree
there is no money in milk at the pres
ent rate il is sold for because of the
present high price Of grain.
