WHAT AN ALMANAC DID.

Matthews, Ark, Aug. 25th.-Mrs.
Lee S. Sanders, of this place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.
81 have been troubled a great deal
with my kidneys all my life and was
constantly growing worse.
81 CHANGED to get copy of Dodd's
Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases of Kidney
Trouble.
MY husband bought box and be-
gan to use them and in a short time we
were surprised and delighted at the
wonderful improvement in my case.
81 am now as well as anybody and
can not say too much for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. 1t was a lucky day for me
when 1 picked up that almanac.

runa is surely wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections d. Botllin.
This is a case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that man OF
wealth and influence, like a Congress
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find cure.
| If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case, and he wIl
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

Story That showed His Faith in an

The years add to the stories that
have gathered about Abraham Lin
coin. Every little while new one
comes to light, showing this or that
side of his great nature. A clergyman
who has recently come East from a
town in the central part of Illinois told
one the other day which, he says, has
never been printed. 1t shows Lin
coins faith in an overruling Provi-
dence, and the quaint and homely lam
guage in which he expressed that
faith
In the. darkest days of the civil
war Vermont minister went to
Washington, and while there called on
the president to assure him of the
LOYALTY of the Green Mountain State.
Thinking that his caller was an Office
seeker, Lincoln was at first quiet and
reserved, but when the real nature of
his visitors errand was made known
he at once changed his whole manner
and began talking freely or the con-
duct of the war. Something that the
Vermonter said touched him deeply,
and rising to his full height, and rails
ing aloft his long arm, he exclaimed:
Some people think 1 am running this
war; but all 1 want to know is, what
is it the Other Fellow wants, and / am

that the operator twice declined to
take it. Presumably it was a tele-

and the operator had to be firm in ad-
herring to the laws of censorship.

eel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, SO
common and SO discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but a true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Md, will send you for the asking, will con-
vince anyone of it's wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from the
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly
new being. 1t creates appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of a London
physician, who has given years of study to,
same. Sample bottle free from ST. Jacobs
