Peruna is able to cure catarrh wher-
ever it may be located by its direct
action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means indamed mucous mem
branes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse
and invigorate the catarrhal condition
OF the mucous membrane no matter
where 1t may occur in the body. Its
action Is the same on the mucous lining
OF the nose as on the mucous lining of
the bowels. It cures the catarrhal in
fammation wherever it may occur.
DIR. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T.,
writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine know
OF for cough and to strengthen weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, l have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had a patient but said it helped
him. 1t is an excellent medicine and
| it fits so many cases.
81 have large practice, and have
chance to prescribe your Peruna.
hope you may live long to do good to
| the sick and suffering"
We say Peruna cures catarrh. The
people say Peruna cures catarrh. Promi-
| nent men and women all over the
United States from Maine to California
do not hesitate to come out in public
print to say that Peruna is what it is
recommended to be, an internal, sys-
temic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh
wherever it may be located.
Dr.. N. c. Gees Experience.
DR.. M. G. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
CAL, he says:
"There is a general objection or tao
part of the pracficing physician to ad-
v0cafe patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds OF
people, 1t demonstrates its own value
and does not need the endorsement OF
the profession.
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures In San Francisco thai
am convinced that 1t is a valuable
remedy. Ihave frequently advisedif
use for women, as find 1t insures
regular and painless mensfruati0n,
cures Ieucorrhea md ovarian troubles,
and builds up the entire system. IaIs0
consider 1t one of the finest cafarrll
remedies know Of Heartily endorse
your medicine. "---M. c. Gee, Nj. D.
Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is COM
monty called. Especially in the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis
agreeable symptoms of female weakness
make themselves apparent. In crisp,
cold weather chronic sufferers with pei
vic catrrrh do not feel so persistently the
effects of the drain upon
the system, but at the approach of
with its lassitude and tired
feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh
feels the need of a Strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring
tonic for such cases but if persisted in
will effect a complete cure. Write for
copy of "Health and Beauty" written
for women by Dr. Hartman.
If you want to read of some cures also,
write for copy of "Facts and Faces"
That will surely convince you that our
claims are valid.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

CHAPTER II.-CoNTINUED.

Rossiter was more than surprised
at this spontaneous proposal. He
was not accustomed to gratitude,
and that he should inspire anyone
with enough confidence to suggest
such an arrangement struck him
with something like amazement.
But the more he meditated upon the
suggestion the moro tempting it was
to him. Three weeks and half had
yet to elapse before the first of Octo-
ber. If he sho-ld- decide to return
and accept the .ffer made by his
brothers acquaintance, here was an
opening which would enable him to
go back with a little money in his
pocket, doubtless more than he could
earn as a hostler.
"It's mighty good of you to men
ton such thing" said he. care
you sure you really mean it?"
"Mean it!" echoed the young man
-"well, guess!"
"Then I'm with you'll" exclaimed
Rossiter, surprised the instant he had
spoken at his own earnestness and
decision.
"My names Joe Becraft," said the
young man, "and this is nay brother
Jim.''
"Mine is Philip Rossiter-Phil, if
you like" said the vagabond, and
then he was suddenly conscious that
he had given his full name for the
first time in three years. Ross he
had been accustomed to call himself
when there was any question of
identity.
"Is it good omen," he asked him
self, cor is it but the beginning of
another failure?"

proven it's merits so thoroughly that
even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against so called patent medi-
cines and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in

medical profession today. Catarrh, as
