Most people think the success of Pc
runa depends upon the use of advertise
ments. Undoubtedly the advertise
ments help some. But by far the great
est number of people who hear of Pc
runa, have their attention called to it
by friend.
Some one gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of
his cure, he is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and the news spreads from
tongue to tongue.
All the advertisements In the world

1T is. Peruna cures. That is the rea-

very stubborn disease. That is why
everyone recommends it. Peruna
cures chronic catarrh after all other
remedies fail, which explains why

Imports of potatoes into the Uni

June 80, 1902, amounted to 7,656,162
bushels, against 371, ,911 bushels in the
previous year. Exports in 1902 were
e2s,4s4 bushels, leaving the net inn
ports 7,027,672 bushels With two ex-
ceptions the 1902 imports into this
country were the heaviest ever made;
the short domestic crop of 1881,
amounting to only 109, ,145, ,494 bushels
resulted in imports in the following
fiscal year of s,7se. $50 bushels; an
other shortage in domestic produc-

to only 4,103, 900 bushels, was fol-

was built. Witnesses were intro

was, since the bridge was built, dam
aged by the piers in the river, OBJ
structions to the race, cinder nui-
sance, danger from fire, ETC., until
its present value was only from IS, :,
900 to $40, 900.
The attorneys for the railro ad
did some figuring claiming that the
