BY His Most Remarkable Nerve
He Saves Himself from Dy-
ing i'm the Woods.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, March 2.-[Spe-
cial. Marion Howe, a farmer living
five miles south of Clear Lake, met with
an accident and at the same time dis
played most remarkable courage. He
was in the woods two and one-half miles
from his home with his team after a
load of logs and had his sleigh partly
loaded. He then went some forty rods
distant from his load to cut down a
tree. The tree in falling caught him and
pinned his leg to the ground, MASKING
it in such a manner that it was nearly
severed. Mr.. Howe was not within hail
ing distance of anyone, and grimly real
izing the situation he Immediately COM
pleted the amputation, cutting the leg
off above the knee with his axe. He
then dragged himself as quickly as posi-
BILE to his team, removed the surcingles
from the blankets and bound up the
bleeding and mangled stump. He then
unloaded the logs from the sled and
drove home. A doctor was summoned
from this village to render him surgical
assistance. Mr.. Howe will recover.

remedy, Peruna, comes as q great boon.
Not only Is It more successful in curing
catarrh than the treatment Of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person In this land.
Peruna can be bought at any drug store,
and is a remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs colds, bron-
chitfs, consumption, and all other eli
matte diseases Of winter.
Peruna Is not a guess, nor an expert

AS a result of the changeable climate,
catarrh has become one of the most
prevalent and universal diseases known
to man Nearly enc third of the people
of the United States are afflicted with
catarrh in some of its many phases and
stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh
rapidIy tends to become fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that it is capable
of producing great many other dis
eases, and we begin to realize the true
nature of this dread disease.
SO formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found VINO
make the treatment of catarrh spe-
cialty. Of course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as yet
a comparatively small number of the
people can avail themselves of this treat
ment because Of the great expense neces-
sarily attached to it.
