Letters From Women.
Every day we receive letters from
women like the following. Women who
have tried doctors and failed: women
who have tried Peruna and were cured.

Miss Anna Prescott. in a letter from

I am sincerely grateful for the RELIEF
I have found from the use of Peruna.
I was completely used up last fall, my
appetite had failed and felt weak anu

me to try Peruna and the relief ex-
perienced after taking one bottle was
truly wonderful.

A constant drain of nervous vitality
depicting the whole nervous system
causes the mucous membrane surfaces
to suffer accordingly. This is the condi-
ton called systemic catarrh. It very
nearly resembles, and there is really no
ton and the condition known as neuras-
thenia, or nervous prostration.
Peruna will be found to effect an inn
mediate and lasting cure in all cases of
systemic catarrh- It acts quickly and
benedcially on the diseased mucous
membranes. and with healthy mucous
membranes the cata~rh can no longer
exist
Peruna is equally efficacious in curing
catarrh of the throat as in curing sys-
temlc catarrh or catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is essentially the same wher-
ever located Peruna cures catarrh-

Many Have CataTTh
Who Don't Suspect It.
Peruna is a Tonic that CIeanses
the System of All Catarrh.

Diseased nerves are directly traceable
to poor digestion. and poor digestion IS
directly traceable to catarrh. With the
slightest catarrh of the stomach no one
can have good digestion
Very few Of the many women who
have catarrh of the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is They know
they belch after meals, have sour stom-
ach. a sensation of weight or heaviness,
a fullnesS. irregular appetite, drOWSl-
ness, gnawing. empty sensations, occa-
sional Dain-they all know this: but
ley do not know that their trouble Is
catarrh of the stomach. If they did they
would take Peruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever 10
tarrh from the stomach the digestion
becomes good, appetite regular, nerves
strong and trouble vauishes.- Peruna
strengthens weak nerves, not by tempo
rarily stimulating them, but by remov-
ing the cause Of weak nerves-peor
digestion This is the only cure that
lasts. Remove the cause: Nature will
do the rest. Peruna removes the cause.
Catarrh sixteen Years.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scherer, Monte Vista,
Colo, writes For sixteen years I suf-
fered with catarrh and stomach trouble.
I doctOred and took patent medicines
without benefit. I read in one OF your
almanacs about Peruna and thought it
would perhaps help me. I have used
nothing al all in the way Of remedies
except Peruna for about two years and
my health could not be better than ]

proposition. A total of sixty three
votes was cost and of this number on
~ three We're against the granting of a
franchise. The franchise, as voted
was duplicate of the one granted in
this city, in all its essential parts.
The LeGrand franchise grants the
use of FTemont, Benton. Julian, Main
and Webster streets for period OF
four years. There are about 100 votes
in LeGrand, and TIE vote of Monday
shows the interest taken in the propo-
sition, as sixtythree votes. form a
larger total than has been cast at town
elections on many occasions. Those
who were most interested in the inter-
urban feel that the election WAS salts

Some felt that another interurban

four years. The vote. however. shows
that even this objection was easily
overcome.
