al Want Everyone to Know How
Completely 1t Cures IndigestiOn.

From the Leeds Saturday Journal.
This shows the unselfsh disposition of Mr..
Hodge,of Orchard Grove, 1ppleden, New
ton Abbott, VINO, having been cured by
Vogeler's Compound, wishes every other
sufferer to know of the benefit he has re-
ceived from this marvellous remedy. He
telles his story as follows:
Gentlemen-I find Vogeler's Compound a
remedy above all others; for about this time
last year l was in thorough bad state of
health, and could hardly drag one leg after
the other. l had tried dozens of remedies
advertised to cure Indigestion and all its
attendant evils, but was rapidly going from
bad to worse, when had the good fortune
to be recommended to take Vogeler's Com
pound. | did SO without much faith, and
am thankful to say it made new man of
me. I should like other people to know it's
virtues and how completely it knocks un-
der the worst forms of Indigestion and dys-
pepsia.-(Signed.) George n. Hodge.
.Vogeler's Compound is the grandest rem
edy of the century for all stomach disorders
and liver and kidney troubles in both men
and women. 1t is sold in Csc. and SOC. sizes
by all medicine dealers, and free sample
of liberal size will be sent to any address in
the country. 1t is made by the proprietors
of st. Jacobs Oil, Baltimore, from the for
mula of one of the most eminent living ply
sicians.

A Nasty Practice

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the FASTING of repeated
layers of wall paper, one upon another, thus
covering up the filth and germs of disease
that may be propagated in the very. abb
sorbent and decaying mass of -four paste,
paper, animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent health Of
fcers and sanitarians, urging that such
practice should be stopped by legal enact
ment, and also take occasion to say that
these sanitarians recommend Alabastine
as q durable, pure and sanitary coating for
walls.
The Inter Ocean says: 'This is very
important question, and, as it costs moth
ing to avoid this danger, why take any
chances?"
How much of the alarming spread of
smallpox and other diseases may be due to
unsanitary wall coverings9

Iess-Cured by
Peruna.
MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
lXl Superintendent of the W. c. T. U.

MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
1vl Superintendent of the W. c. T. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg, H.,
was for ten years one of the leading
women there. Her husband, when liv-
Ing, was first President of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, Ill, Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as
wife and working partner of busy
minister, my health failed me few
years ago. I lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually I seemed
to lose health and spirit. My daughter
is confirmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
Zone of my neighbOrs advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was immedi-
afeIy secured and a great change took
place in my daughters as well as in
my own health. Our appetites i'm
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep
soon improved US, SO that we seemed
like new women.
would not be without Peruna for
ten times its cost. "-Mrs. Anna B.
FIeharty.
What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases Of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
runa for these cases and found it SO
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.
Mrs. E. /. Brown, 329 Elliott street,
Memphis, Tenn, writes:

Wireless Telegraph Across Ocean.

The recent experiment in wireless ttlegra-
ply across the ocean was a complete sue
cess and aroused great public interest.
There has also been great interest mani
tested in the success of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the celebrated remedy for stomach,
liver and kidney complaints, because it is
reliable. It promotes appetite, regulates the
liver, keeps the bowels regular and cures in
digestion, dyspepsia, Ia grippe and malaria.
