 Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known in every city in the United States west of Buff falo, N. Y, as Jewellers Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. ITS and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32nd degree.
 In a recent letter from 5900 Mich igan avenue, Chicago, H., Mir. Moody says the following:
 "For oyer twenty-five years I suffered from cafarrh, and for over fen years / suffered from catarrh ofthe stomach terribly.
 "IhaVe taken aHkinds of n1edi- cineS and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquainfances are aware in different parts Of fhe United States, where have travelled, buf my relief was only temporary, until q Htffe over q year ago [ started 10 take Peruna, and at fhe present time I am better than I have been for twenty years.

 "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doc tors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The sore ness has left her lungs and she is as we'll as she ever was in her life. with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, I. r. Moody.
 Catarrh in it's various forms is rapid 1y becoming a general curse. An un- doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of it's virtues. and are making public utterances on the sub- ject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most preva- lent and stubborn of cure is catarrh.
