In every country of the civilized world
Sisters Of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs Of the charges COM
mitted to their. care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care Of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna anever failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Pernna was suffering from, Iaryngi-
tbs, and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. "
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care OF
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifes.

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 1,2O6.-Capt. Alfred G.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: 81 had weak back
ever since [ was boy, and about six
wears ago the cause developed into
rather bad case of kidney complaint.
It was not little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
I tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
''In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
'I took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
tion, and which my friends and ac-
1uaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them we're
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
'It became so well known that had
a pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention I wanted to try them,
just as had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright
Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol-
lowed / knew after a dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, would
willingly pay one months wages for
box of them if | could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and will
convince them that they act just as
represented"

~The Proof Of the Pud ding Lies In the
EutinE,v

The doctors are dumSfounded, the drug
gisss astonished, and the people excited and
joyful over the wonderful cures and tremen-
dous sales of the great Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil. Every case of Rheumatism-som of
many years standing-has given way to this
powerful remedy. Thousands OF certificates
like the following can be furnished as to its
value:-
George Scleyer, Publisher of the Chiffon,
Wis, ''Volksbote," used st. Jacobs Oil for
"amost unbearab!e pains in the back, which
had completely prostrated him." A few APP
plications cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred JLberle, Bellaire, o., was for
long time severely troubled with Rheuma..
tism. st. Jacobs Oil instantly relieved and
entirely cure her.
Rev. DR.. B. Pick, of Rochester, N. Y, suf
fered so intensely from Rheumatic pains that
he was unable to preach. Several applica-
tions from bottle of st. Jacobs Oil "re-
lieved him."
f. Raider. Cleveland, Ohio, says: 1.-TWO
applications of st. Jacobs Oil cured me OF
great and long continued pain in my foot"
Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son, Drug
gists, Muskegon, Mich, write:-"St. ia.
cobs Oh has wonderful sale. We sold
eight bottles at retail yesterday. This will
give you some idea of how well it is liked
in this section
Mr.. Louis Hinkel, of East Poesten, Kill,
N. Y, says:-'I cali St. Jacobs Oil the best
liniment l ever used. 1t cured me of Rheu'
-matism and pain in the back"
Herman Rittner Manchester n. H.
81 have tried St. Jacobs Oil, and found it ex-
cellent. All those who have purchased it
speak of it as simply incompatible
Geo. G. Ertae, Palestine, I'LL was in
bed suffering from a swollen leg, used St.
Jacobs Oil. its effect was wonderful. The
following day l attended to my business
again" nm,
DR.. Otto Fuls, Reading, o.. writes:-"The
sale of St. Jacobs Oil is constantly increas-
ing; it is praised by everybody, and never
fails to give entire satisfaction"
