at Columbia, S. c.. writes.
After using your Peruna myself

Hon. c. W. Butts ex-Member of Con-
gress from North Dakota in letter
from Washington, D. c., says:
That Peruna is not only a vigorous,
as well as an effective tonic. but also a
cure Of catarrh is beyond controversy.
1t is already established by its use by
the thousands who have been benefited
by it. I cannot too highly express my
appreciation of its EXCELLENCE. W.

DR. R. Robbins. Muskogee. L T,
writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine I know
of for coughs and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh. I have order
ed it for weak and debElitated people,
and have not had patient but said it
helped him. It is an excellent medicine
and it fits so many cases.
Il have a large practice. and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. hope
you may live long to do good to the sick
and suffering
Only the weak need a tonic People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes of
weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh infames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous membrane
in the form of mucus. This discharge
of mucous is the same as the loss of
blood. 1t produces weakness.

COLORADO SEASON OPENS.
Santa Fe Begins the Operation of Its
Westbound Flyer.

The first WeSt-bOund train of the
Santa FEES Colorado Flyer, which will
run between Kansas City and Colorado
Springs during the summer season of
1908 passed through Topeka last mig ut
a $50, arriving here on time.
This is the second season of the Colo
RADIO Flyer, and Santa FNe off1cisIs have
taken special pains to make this years
trains equal in every particular to last
years equipment. The equipment OF
the train which passed through here
last night was the exact counterpart OF
that which was used last summer. It
consisted of a composite car, a chair
car, Pullman sleeper MERGED" and OBJ
servatiOn sleeper Ben Nevin."
When the train arrived here last
night it was in charge of Conductor
Frank Peers. William Rains the vet
eran Santa Fe engineer, was in the
cab. Rains will run on the Flyer dur
ing the entire season.
The first east-bound train, if it is on
time. win pass through Topeka a 1850
Wednesday morning. There will be no
eastb bound train running as the Flyer
today The west-bound train stops in
Topeka only ten minutes. but east
bound trains lay over twenty minutes,
giving passengers plenty of time il.
which to eat breakfast at the new Har-
vey dining ropm.
Last nights train did not carry many
passengers, but as the time for the
Santa F'e's heavy Colorado traffic has
not yet arrived it was not expected that
the train should be overcrowded.

railroad company.
Kansas City. June s. 1903.
James A. KimbaH, esq, Salina, Kas-:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt Of your let
ter of the 9Th inst, describing condi-
lions in your community as result of
the flood. Your letter confirms the press
reports which have appeared from day
to day and leaves no doubt that the sit
uatiOn is very serious in the districts
afflicted by the overflow. The stricken
communities, I assure you, have my
sympathy as they have that of every
man who can feel for the misfortunas
of his fellows. Some doubtless have lost
in the flood all that they possessed;
many have suffered severe financial
losses. I presume that the total dam
age to property in the counties through
which our line runs viii be very great.
Nothing. of course, can entirely repair
this, but I deem it not out of place to
mention that the construction of our
proposed line will perhaps be an ale
