The Way 10 Avoid Catarrhal Dis. eases Is to FOrilfy inc System

From New York 10 Oklahoma Come Letters of Endorsement
 for Pe.Vu.na.

A whole page of evidence that Peruna cures eatarrh in all stages and phases The evidence comes from all sections iron Ontario to Louisiana, from the city oi New York to Oklahoma. Everywhere the same opinion prevails that Perunt will cure a cold with promptness. tha' Peruna will cure a cough with absolut certainty, that Peruna will cure catarrf permanently.
 These are the things that people al ever the United States believe and witt good reason. The testimonials come iron all classes.

 If if be true that Peruna will do al these things 1t is certainly an important thing to know.

it may be so slight as to not hinder person from his usual business. In per- haps a majority of cases little or no at tentiOn is paid to the first stage of ca tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.
 To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh As soon as anyone discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna accord ing to directions on the bottle. and the cold is sure to pass away withiut leaving any bad effects.
 Unless this is done. the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh which Is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has q cold or cough chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease.

Mrs. C. Englert, Crown Point, Ind. is President of the Crown Point Reform Club Crown Point. Ind. She writes: ''r wish to say good word for Peruna, for I have found 1t a medicine worthy honest praise. Last spring l had hard attack of la grip and felt a pretty sick woman. Ordinary remedies did not help me. but Peruna made me feel better in 24 hours. The peculiar soreness in every part of my body disappeared within four days, and in a week I was well without any unpleasant after-effects. Since that Peruna to number of my friends and stead several have thanked me for call ing their attention to it.
 Especially have I found it of value to weak women. and. therefore, consider 1t A ousehold remedy"
 MRS c. ENGLERr. Hon J. II. Caldwell, Representative from the State of Louisiana, writes:
 "It affords me great pleasure to state that for several years I have used your medicines in my family with most satisfactory results.
 Particularly have l found Pe- runa to be a most effective remedy for the cure of la grippe, colds, coughs, asthma, or any pulmonary trouble for which I have had occa- sion to use and recommend it."

Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrl

There are some things which are as sure as fate. and can be relied on to occur to at least one-half of the human family unless means are taken to pre- vent.

 Second, colds not promptly cured are sure to cause catairh

The Wrong Connection.

The telephone girl and the bill clerk,
to whom she had promised her heart
and hand. were sitting in front of the
fire place, talking about the happy days
to come when they should be one. 5
From one little detail to another, the:
talk finally drifted to the subject Of
lighting the fires in the morning. On
this point the young man was decided.
He stated it as his emphatic opinion
that it vas a wife's duty to get UP and
start the fires, and let her poor, hard
worked husband rest.
After this decision there was a silence
for about thrse-quarters Of a second.
Then the telephone girl thrust, out the
finger encircled by her engagement
ring and murmured, sweetly but firm
ly: y

nection with the wrong number.'-New

a general feeling that something like a

free from his carking anxiety now, but

heavy price for his liberty. Mechanic

almost as mechanically he cut his inf-
