 Prominent Doctor Cured by Pe-ru-na

Dr, c. B. Grove, . physician and A very influential man in Alabama. and Chairman of the Ropulist State Com mittse in recent letter to Dr. Hartman of Columbus. Ohio. says:
 Washington. D. c. 'Peruna' is a most valuable medicine. Tt affords me unlimited pleasure to tes- tify to the merits of your remedy as a catarrh cure. I have used 1t as such and find it of very great benent when my system Is run down. I heartily recom- mend Peruna to ali whose nervous sys- tsms are dsranged." Yours truly,

 It is the nerves that give the heart power to beat; it is the nerves that give the arteries the power to contract. and thus regulate the flow of blood through them. Each artery is. provided with an sias- tic or muscular coat. which Is capable of or expanding so as to permit more or less blood to pass through. ac- cording to the needs of the body.

Dr. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Exam her of the U. S. Treasury Department kraduate of Columbia College. and wno served three years at West Point has the following to say of Peruna:
 Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth vast change and now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you."-Dr. Llewellyn Jordan.
 A tonic is a medicine that gives tone 10 some part of the system. There are different kinds of tonics, but the tonic most needed in this country, where ca karrh is so prevalent, is a tonic that op- crates on the mucous membranes.
 Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem branes of the whole body. It gives tone bo the capillary circulation which con- btitutes these delicate membranes.
 Peruna is a specific in its operation ppon the mucous membrane. It is lonic that strikes at the root of all ca

 For some time I have been a sufferer from catarrh in its most incipient stage, Do much so that I became alarmed as to my general health.

 T endorse Peruna because have found by personal experience that 1t is not a common patent medicine. but a scientifically prepared medicine which simply cures catarrh and cleanses the blood of its impurities, keeping the sys- tenn in fine, healthy condition.
 T consider it as rather a carefully prepared physicians prescription, and have never found any which acts as promptly and permanently as Peruna. It deserves the highest praise, and I know that those who have tried 1t have perfect faith in it."-C. F. Jenkins,

COUNTY TOHAVEAN AGENT.
A. Newman, Clerk, Will Hereafter Do
the Buying.

The board of county commissioners
had decided that the county is paying
too much for supplies and that here
after all supplies for the county offices
shall be bought through a county pur
chasing agent.
This will not create another county
office to be filled as the commissioners
man, in addition to his other duties,
shall look after the purchasing of
county supplies. This system is followed
in other counties in the state and the
commissioners believe that it will mean
saving of from 81, 900 to 81 200 a year
to the county.
All the county supplies are bought
under a form of contract but with all
the county officers ordering their own
supplies, by acquisitions submitted to
the commissioners for approval a much
higher price has been paid than was
necessary.
A room has been prepared in the base
ment of the court house and will be used
by Newman store room. The sup
plies of paper, ink, pencils, etc, will be
bought in large quantities at the lowest
acquisitions for supplies will be submitted
to the commissioners for approval. When
approved they will be given to Newman
to be filed.
IT believe this plan of having one man
purchase all the supplies for the county
will result in a great saving" said Com
missioner Sterne. Under the present Sys-
tenn too high a price is paid for articles
when much cheaper article would serve
just as well. On pencils, for instance, a
10 cent grade is often purchased when a
5 cent grade would answer the purpose
just as we'll Another means of saving
will be that in buying in large quantities
a better price will be made on the goods. "

The result in Ohio is due to several

Senator Hanna's claim that the election

that confidence which be believes to be
