MISS LIZZIE SNEkTHING
Or. Hartman, the Famous G%ynasCuIo-
gist and Inventor Of Ps.rH-na o.
teTS 70 Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land Of nervous women
The great majority OF nervous women ar
so because they are suffering from som
form of female disease. By far the great
est number OF female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh des-
pair Of recovery. Female trouble is so
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest OBJ
stacle in the way Of recovery is that they
do not understand that 1t is catarrh which
is the source Of their illness. In female
complaint, ninety-nine cases out Of one
hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently re-
ceived:

storm hail fell and broke windows in the
residence and business parts, although more
damage was done In the former as the
storm came from the north.
Within four hours after the storm was
over the greater portion of the water
down town was carried of by the sewer
and the water is slowly receding in other
parts Of the city. The long -distance tels-
phone line is not working out Of Mitchell
and there are but two lines of telegraph
working out Of Mitchell, these being to
Sioux City and st. Paul.
The greater share Of the water which
fell in the cloudburst in this vicinity this
morning has disappeared from the streets
down town. although no attempt has been
made to remove the water from the base
ments and in the greater majority Of cases
1t will have to be pumped out by hand.
II has been practically impossible to
secure anything definite as to losses en-
tailed by the business men who had goods
| stored in the Easements. Losses In this
direction will run from 800 to $500.
No lives were lost during the storm, al
though 1t was reported that a farmer, one
mile east of town was killed by lightning.
He was badly injured from the shock.
Not near so many windows were broken
by the hail that accompanied the rain at
the outset as was supposed would be the
case. Reports from the country within
a radius of ten miles OF Mitchell shows
that crops have not been injured in the
least. Good rains are reported from all
parts of the county, but they were not
accompanied by any hail or wind. The
storm seemed to center on Mitchell
and about two miles in each direction.
Vivid flashes Of lightning and great booms
Of thunder occurred all during the storm.
