when all other remedies fail. I can
heartily recommend Peruna az q catarrh
remedy."-Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
cure of catarrh. If course Of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures if Peruna Is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
AS systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. Itcures ca
tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh of the head.
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.
Address DR.. Hartman, President Of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

Ferguson of Troy"

At the opera house on Thursday and
Friday evenings, May 8 and 8, the up
roarously funny comedy, Ferguson of
Troy, will be presented by Staunton's
best local talent for the benefit of the

occasion, and not only spend most
enjoyable evening. but at the same time
help a most worldly cause.

many prescribed studies in our schools

as IL lie very frequently, that the av.rage
