DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED
Peruna Creating National Sensation in the Cure
of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys.

Mr.. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind,
says: "My kidney trouble is much
better. have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi-
cine am using. I recommend Peruna
to verybody and some have commenced
to use it. The foll1s all say that if DIR.
Hartman's medicine cures me it must be

and ManaIiH. and In three months

so ever since. ''---J Brake.
At the appearance of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should be
taken. This remedy strikes at once the
very root of the disease. 1t at once re-
lieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stag
nant blood, preventing the escape OF
serum from the blood. Peruna stimu-
lates the kidneys to excrete from the
blood the accommodating poison, and thus
prevents the commissions which are sure
to follow if the poisons are allowed tc
remain. It gives great vigor to the
hearts action and digestive system, botl
of which are apt to fail rapidly IL this
disease.

IS Much is said and written about the
mooshiner, he is said to be and is a
lawbreaker. he is thought of by many
as imposed upon by his government.
He is an interesting person possessed
of a striking individuality. The noun
tain moonshiner knows he is a law
breaker but believes he has right
to be such, as he is a lover of liberty
and of that liberty which gives him
the right to use the corn that he rails
es and to convert it into liquid
which makes life seem sweet to his
soul. He is strong in the belief that
his right to make the mountain corn
into whisky is God given, and he is
willing to hazard his life in defend
ing this right He loves with ardor
and hates with fiery intensity. and if
there is anything on earth he hates
it is the revenue officer. From the
depths of his innermost soul and with
a bitterness that cannot be expressed
in words, he despises the revenues.
4 highly sensational and startling
melodrama has been written dealing
with these peculiar people and the
revenues. Each succeeding act grows
with intensity and the climaXes and
scenic effects are a marvel in stage
craft. The comedy is wholesome and
enjoyable for what is more amusing
than the doings and sayings of the old
southern negro. The specialties are
bright and captivating and the sing
ing of the Moonshiner's quartet is
well worth the price of admission.
The company is an able and efficient
one. having been especially engaged
for the line of work peculiar to this
play. Messers. Buhler e. Mann will
present the "Moonshiner's Daughter"
at the Illinois April 13.

the referendum on all tranction Ordi-
nances will add to the popularity of
of the resolution, and 1t Is expected it
will go through. AS reported. the res
olution provides for constitutional
amendment reserving for the people
the right of initiative, s per cent. of the
voters being empowered to propose leg

the voters can demand the referendum
on laws passed by the Legislature. -

this important question must be

passage and that time can be saved
