Spring Time the Best Season
of the Year to Treat Chronic
Catarrh.

notwithstanding that a great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Peruna during the
past cold season. yet it cannot be de-
MED that the cold. wet, stormy weather
has retarded many cures, and, in some
cases, actually prevented a cure
But springtime has come at last and
now is the time for all catarrh suffer-
ers to begin systematic course of
treatment for this disease The great
est difficulty in the way of treating
chronic catarrrh is that the patient is
so liable 10 catch cold during the treat
ment and thus delay a cure.
This liability at this season of the
year IS, in a great measure, removed,
and no one should neglect the oppor-
tunity to take treatment
Peruna is acknowledged by everyone
to be the only reliable and unfailing
cure of catarrh wherever it may be 10
Gated. When you take Peruna you are
not experimenting with an unknown
remedy.

ton as well as thousands in the hum

WHO WAS TO BLANE2


WHO WAS TO BLAME2
There was trouble IN the Office Of the

Whereupon the general manager was
called upon the floor,
And informed that he was careless"
in the case Of 3 and l.
Then the general manager remarked,

That the general superintendent needs

Which induced the superintendent to
Immediately call in
The division superintendent, whom he
criticised like sin.
Who straightway had the roadmaster
report at once to him
For roasting then and there, and his
meaning was not dim
The roadmaster said wrathfully. The
section foreman is the chap
Who has caused US this disaster and
III knock him out rap.
So he called the section foreman and
he said You careless cuss-
Your remarkable stupidity has caused
an awful muss.
Which the section foreman took as q
personal affr0nt
And resolved upon the spot TO do a
cfiticising stunt
50 he summoned up the man who puts
The grease upon the track,
And he said 1T seems to me you should

IF you'd creased the tracks. you

"Just quit and draw your salary with

So the section man took the order and

And remarked with much emphatic
