| The cold spell of weather which
crept down SO stealthily last week, and
blighted the hopes of the open winter
prophet by freezing up the entire
north, seems to have extended pretty
much over the entire country, going
| almost, if not quite to the gulf, and
threatening if it did not injure the
| Florida orange groves. Even Cali
| fornia did not escape, and severe frosts
are reported from the section around
Los Angeles and San Diego. 1t is
thought the orange fields have not
suffered, as the owners were warned
| by the weather bureau and followed
instructions sent out to save their
| trees. But other more tender fruit
trees are said to have been consider
ably injured. 1t was the most severe
spell of December weather which has
struck the country in a decade or
more, and from many points comes the
reports that it breaks December wea-
ther record for quarter of a century.
Many deaths are reported from freez
ing and yesterday reports were that
they might run into the scores. This
may possibly be the most severe cold
spell we will have this winter, but
with the long time for cold weather
yet ahead of us, and the fall of snow,
which seems to be widespread through
the north and extending quite dis
lance to the south, the open winter
prophet is likely to receive quite
number of similar jolts before May
flowers bloom. In the mean time the
predicter of a hard winter looks wise
and utters the we'll worn refrain of 81
told you So )" and wonders if his pre-
dictions will be borne out with another
such cold wave.

1t is this condition that DIR. Hartman
calls systemic catarrh. The whole sys-
tenn is saturated with catarrh. Thisdis-
covery marked an important advance in
the history of medical science. The
medical profession had long been crop
ing to discover the meaning of the stub
born and distressing after-effects of la
grippe. All remedies seemed alike. in
adequate.
As soon as DR.. Hartman announced
that it was his belief that the after
effects of la grippe was simply sys-
temic catarrh, a great advance was made
in the treatment of these cases. 1t now
only remained to find a reliable remedy
for systemic catarrh.
Here new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
of no systemic remedy for catarrh.
otherphysiciansre garded catarrh as q
| blood disease and had been in the habit
of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be of no possible use in
systemic catarrh.
For time Peruna enjoyed the dis.
tinction of being the only systemic ca
tarrh remedy known. 1t was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an
other remedy for this exasperating con-
dition.
Since then, however, q great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
| temic catarrh, and a great deal Of val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But 1t still re-
mains true that Peruna is the only spe-
cific remedy for the after-effects of la
grippe. The demand for this remedy,
in consequence of the present epidemic
of la grippe, is enormous.
Mr. P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: Being advised to
| try Peruna for la grippe and asthma, l
did so with good results. l had been
feeling very unwell for a long time, and
had asthma quite bad till came West,
when | got better of the asthma, but was
not well. l tried great many remedies
for it, but nc thing was able to cure me.
81 took three bottles of Peruna and l
am happy to say that it is the best med
icine l ever used. i am satisfied that
Peruna is good medicine, and as such
have commended it to several of my
friends with good results. 1t is seldom
l give a testimonial, but think this due
YOU. hope others may be benefited
through you and your medicines"
Every one should read DIR. Hartman's
latest lecture on La grippe. This lecture
| will be sent free by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.
