mon people say carries weight, but when

IL Is q significant fact to the increasing
prominence and ~undoubted efficacy of
Peruna.
Peruna is of national fame as a catarrh
remedy. 1t is the only internal sys-
temlc catarrh remedy known to the med
lcal profession. 1t makes diseased mu-
cous membranes healthy, whether it is
the mucous membrane lining the nose,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pei
VIC organs. 1t cures various diseases of
all these organs, because two-thirds of
the ills of mankind are due to catarrh.
With healthy mucous membranes eli
matte diseases lose their terror, the sys-
tenn is enabled to throw off contagion,
and health follows inevitably.
Mr.. A. T. Wood, Mt. Sterling, KY,
| writes:
"For many years Ihave been q suf.
ferer from Cafarrh, and have spent
time and money with physicians and
used many kinds of remedies which
were guaranteed sure cures, but i'm

every kind of pain Known to a human
being. My hearing, which was almost
entirely gone in one ear, got very much
better. The medicine not only seems
to cure, but to prevent disease.

had heard of the great luck of the man

Meanwhile the negro sailor who had
fed to New York so Impressed a citizen
of that city with the story OF the treas

look for it, and spent thousands of dol

but skillful as a boat builder and sailor.
Unfortunately. he was unable to or
ganize a company to search for the
treasure, for he drank 10 excess, and 1t
was only when intoxicated that he would
talk During his spree he gave away
all facts about the treasure ship, but no
one would believe him because he was

stored. The extreme height from the
basement to the top Of the dome is %
