The two candidates for the legislature
were speakers from the same platform,
states the Chicago Tribune.
My fellow citizens" said the candidate
with the long black mustacae, rising to
speak in his turn, Il am able at last to IN
mask the hypocrite that has just addressed
you. 1t is disagreeable duty, but you have
right to know what manner of man he Is.
Wei may he tremble at the disclosure / am
about to make, for it knocks the last prop
from under him and shows MIN to you in his
true light
Here the speaker paused to take drink
of water.
Then he slowly turned his head, looked
over his shoulder at the other candidate
with glance of concentrated scorn, and
faced the audience again.
A hush pervaded the hall.
Fellow citizens" he exclaimed, in q
voice of thunder, 'Ethis man poses as a
friend of the common peoplei He goes

have given me almost complete relief,

runa is surely a wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections.-J. ID. BotlSin.
This is a case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence, like a Congress
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the Stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

BALLooNING AS A TONIC.
DE-. Naugier, a French Physician, De-
clares Air Voyages Benefit
Anaemfcs.

DR.. Naugier asserted at the latest
meeting of the academy of medicine
at Paris that experiments he has
made demonstrate that balloon
ascension acts on the human system
as the most powerful tonic known.
A two hours voyage in the air, he
declared, caused astonishing multi
p1ication of the red corpuscles in the
blood and that condition persists for
ten days after an ascension Five
such excursions, he averred, are more
beneficial to an anaemic-that is, a
person whose blood is thin and wa
terry, or a consumptive-than a So
journ of three months in the noun
tains.
DR.. Naugier believes that the good
effect begins to be felt Immediately,
and that heightened stay in the
air is only detrimental in causing
nervous irritation. The municipal
council will be asked to provide a
large balloon, one capable of taking
up in the upper air daily so patients,
or children who are too poor to af'
ford change of climate.

WHAT AN ALMANAC DID.

Matthews, Ark, Aug. 25th.-Mrs.
Lee S. Sanders, of this place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.
81 have been troubled a great deal
with my kidneys all my life and was
constantly growing worse.
81 CHANGED to get copy of Dodd's
Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases of Kidney
Trouble.
MY husband bought a box and be-
gan to use them and in a short time we
were surprised and delighted at the
wonderful improvement in my case.
81 am now as well as anybody and
can not say too much for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. 1t was a lucky day for me
when I picked up that almanac.
ST believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure any one who suffers with Kidney
Trouble"

Captain o. Bertoletto of the Italian

from the chief Office of the Italian

sI have suffered for several years
with chronic cafarrh of the stomach.
Tie doctors prescribed for me without
myrecefVing the least benefit. Through
one of your pamphlets began the use
of Peruna, and two bottles have en-
nreIy cured me. recommend Peruna
to all my friends. 30. BerfoIeffo.
In catarrh of the stomach, as we'll as
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is the remedy. As has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part,
it will cure catarrh of any other part of
the body.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
and the remedy that will cure it any
where will cure it everywhere.

store of Ford & Condor at Moseley
Station recently. The boys have a
very neat and tasty general store
with plate glass front and good plat
form and steps. And on entering you
know you are welcome from the pleas
ant smile that greets you. We wish
the boys an abundant crop of prosper
ity.
The Cleaner installation was largely
attended last Saturday night and all
had fine time and enjoyed the cere-
mony and the dance which followed.
The gentlemen prepared the feast
and a great deal of credit is due them
for the excellent manner in which
they conducted it. The oysters and
coffee was procured from Compan-
ions Ford & Condon's general store at
Moseley Station.
