Peruna will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases
of systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly
and beneficially on the diseased mu-
couS membranes, and with healthy
mucous membranes the catarrh can
no longer exist.
Perunn O True Friend to Women.
Mrs. r. J. Lynch, writes the follow
ing from 1924 S. Division street, Grand
Rapids, Mich:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen-"I earnestly recommend
Peruna to any suffering woman, as it
cures quickly. Last year 1 had a most
persistentcoughw which nothing seemed
to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did
more for me than all the doctors
seemed to do. In a couple of weeks
found myself in excellent health, and
have been enjoying it ever since.
Hence look on Peruna as a true friend
to women."-Mrs. F. j. Lynch.
Peruna is equally efficacious in cur
ing catarrh of the throat as in curing
systemic catarrh or catarrh of the
stomach. Catarrh is essentially the
same wherever located. Peruna cures
catarrh.
Peruna Makes YOU Feel Like O New
Person.
Miss Mary Coats, popular young
woman of Appleton, Wis, and pres
ident of the Appleton Young Ladies'
Club, also speaks in glowing terms of
Peruna. A letter recently received
from her by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Of Columbus, Ohio, reads as
follows:

my friends to Peruna When that Ian

Blood Pofxonfnn.

A medical paper recently called at
tention to the dangers that may a@se
from small cuts, even pin pricks and
other small wounds that may be re-
ceived about the kitchen or laundry
The air in these rooms, where food
is cooked and where the washing OF
soiled clothes is done, may be laden
with impure germs sufficient to pro-
duce blood poisoning. A wound that
is left to take care of itself, however
small and trivial it may appear, il
always exposed to this danger. The
only safe way to do is to wash out
all wounds with pure water and then
with a weak preparation of carbolic
acid purchased for the purpose from
a trustworthy chemist, or, better
stnl, from a physician. The prepare.
ton is too weak to be dangerous

F., of this town, came very nearly los
ing their esteemed and capable Sec
rotary, Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan. Mrs.
Mallahan caught a severe cold last
winter, and like many others, failed
to recognize the dangerous POSSIBLE
tiles until it had settled in her kid
neys, and left her with very severe
bearing down pains and almost con-
slant back-ache. 1t almost carried
her off. Mrs. Mallahan tells the story

81 caught cold last winter, which
l neglected until it settled in my kid
neys, causing severe bearing down
pains and almost constant back-ache.
Ny health had previously been so
good, that 1 paid little attention to
these symptoms, until the disease
had gone so far, that my doctor en-
tertained but slight hope of nv
recovery.
Fortunately, one of our Lodge
Members mentioned Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Her description of the cures
they had effected sounded like fairy
| tale, but / sent for a box, deciding
TO give them trial. I soon found
hat she had but half told the story

Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and not few of these
have been in Owosso and other neigh
boring Michigan towns. There seems
to be no case of kidney trouble or
back-ache that Dodd's Kidney Pills

JACKS QUARTERS AFLOAT.
AMERICAN SAILORS ARE THE BEST
TREATED AND HAVE THE MOST
COMFORTS.

The American deep water sailor has long been
considered a particular ward of the nation, ana
as such he is vastly better cared for on SNIP
board than is the sailor of any other nation
Much against his will he is encouraged to save
his money Even a carefully developed bill of
fare has been worked out for him and mace
part Of the shipping laws of the country. These
facts have lately been impressed upon the snip
owners # Great Britain by the arrival at Lon
don of the steamship Northwestern. the first yes
sci to enter at that port with clearance papers
from Chicago
The Northwestern is a steamer Of the Great
Lakes the first of a new lire which will try
to establish regular service from Chicago
through the lakes canals and st. Lawrence
River and across the Atlantic to London. Her
sailors are lake sailors, and lake sailors are
treated like no other sailors in the world They
have much the same rights and privileges as
have shore laborers. They have their labor unions
and dictate, to a certain extent their own scale
of wages and the amount and nature of the
work that may be required of them. Voyages
On the Great Lakes are of too short duration
and the chances for deserving are too numerous
for lake ship owners to dictate to their sailors
or to permit the owners to impose anything
like the terms which the ordinary sailor
dures.
1t is no wonder that London seamen have
stood in open mouthed astonishment at the good
fortune Of the Northwestern's crew. They have
been surprised at the ease and simplicity OF
discipline. The comic provided for the
have caused wonder. well the liberality of
their wages. They have also wondered at the
way the lake sailors respond TO fair treatment
