now cheerfully recommend your remedy
to anyone who is suffering from the grip
and catarrh.''-J. p. Megrew.
Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Coun-
selor, Lloyd Mystic Legion, 293 EndicOtt
Building, st. Paul, Mimi, writes:
"For years have unfortunately found
my system in a peculiarly receptive con-
dition for catarrh when I was exposed
in any way to Indictment weather. At
those times I would be severely afflicted
with la grippe and its unpleasant con-
sequences.
"Now for the past year and a half
have used Perunain such cases and have
found that it not only cures me quickly,
but it also cleanses my blood and rem
ders me less liable to catch cold. 1t is
the finest preventative of colds that
know of and a very superior tOnic.''-
Anna Russell.
Miss Emily Mnburne, President of the
Westside Young Woman's Club, No. 152
West Congress street, Chicago, H.,
writes of several members of the club of
which she is president, who have had
the Grip and have been quickly restored
to health by Peruna.
Mr.. Nicolas T. Rossiter, of 463 Nor
wood avenue, Cleveland, o., had a severe
attack of the Grip, was very sick and
under the physicians care. He, like
many others, passed the acute stage but
did not receive strength. Peruna not
only quickly restored him to his former
health, but to much better health than
he has had for years. He gives Peruns
all the praise.

IS TURNED ADRIFT
Relatives of Mrs. Lena Turner, Of
Geneseo, Refuse to
Shelter Her.
SHE STILL WISHES TO DIE
Breaks Down at Police Station and
Medical Aid is
Called in.

Mrs. Lena Turner, the Geneseo wo-
man who yesterday afternoon at
tempted suicide at the boarding house
of Mrs. Lydia Wheelan on Fifth ave
nue. by inhaling illuminating gas, to-
day was apparently in serious condi-
ton as a result of the mental strain
under which she has been laboring of
late. After being removed to the po-
lice station yesterday afternoon she
broke down and it was necessary for
her to have medical attention during
the night. She was historical
throughout the night and still insists
that she only wishes to die.
When the facts of her attempt be-
came public last evening it was learn
ed that she had attempted death by
the same route at the Rock Island
house Thursday night. When the
fumes of gas began to affect her she
became sick and sounds coming from
her room led some of the hotel at
PENDANTS to open the door and learn
what was the matter. She was then
expelled from the house and the mat
ter was hushed up
Insane at One Time.
L CldlDlS TO nave at one
time been insane and to have been
discharged as cured from the Jack
sOnville hospital short time prior to
her marriage with Turner. Whether
mental disorder has had anything to
do with her recent acts is matter
ON which there is difference of opin-
ion.
The police communicated with the
father. o. u. George, who IS city mar
shall at Annawan, but he refused to
have anything whatever TO do with
the case. The husband was also no.
tilted at Geneseo. but he remained ST.
lent and the supposition is that he
will not extend any aid.
The officials here are in n quandary.
The woman. of course, is penniless
and must be cared for at the county's
expense till she RECEIVERS her health.
Then, unless she comes to take a
more cheerful view of life. to release
her will only give her another chance
to attempt her life.

DAIRYmEE UP IN ARMS
They Prepare TO Resist the Passage of the
Pure Food Measure.


Springfield, Ills, Feb. %. The
dairy interests of Illinois are pre-
pairing to vigorously resist the passage
of Representative Lyons bill to revise
the pure food laws of the state in ac
cordance with the recommendations of
Pure Food Commissioner Jones. They
say there are many Objectionable fea
lures in the bill, but what they object
to more particularly is the provision
which prohibits the making of cheese
that does not contain 4S per cent. of
cheese fat. They claim that full cream
cheese avera ges but 40 per cent, and
that to pass the bill in it's present
form would practically prohibit the
manufacture of cheese in this state.
Another Objectionable feature is that
with regard - the sale of calves. The
bill prohibits the sale of calves under
weeks of age. Calves are taken
from their mothers by the dairymen
as soon as the milk is fit for human
consumption, which is generally about
khe eighth or tenth day after the birth
of the calf. They are then sold for
veal. The dairymen say that to be
compelled to keep them until they are
month old would IMPOSE additional
expense for which they would not get
ample returns.

r IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip
bacillus has passed over our coun-
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
leaving behind it a dark cloud of an
guish and despair.
Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
cause.
A multitude of catarrh victims will
spring up in the trail of the awful cpl
demic of grip that has just passed over
our fair country.
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch
of grip, should not fail to take a course
of treatment with Peruna.
: Peruna eradicates every vestige of the
disease and leaves the system in a nor
NAL condition.
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the National

"After giving Peruna a fair trial can

WHAT IS CATARRH?
HyomeI Cures This Common and Disagree
able Disease.


Hyomei cures catarrh by the sim
pie method of breathing it into the
air passages and lungs. 1t kills the
germs of catarrhal poison. heals and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane, enters the blood with the oNy-
gen and kills the germs present there,
cffcctually driving this disease from
the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs:
Offensive breath, dryness of the
nose. pain across the eyes, pain in the
back of the head, pain in front of the
head, tendency to take cold, burning
pain in the throat, hawking to clear
the throat pain in the chest, Il cough,
stitch in side, losing of flesh, variable
appetite, low-spirited at times, rails
ing of frothy mucous, eXpectorating
yellow matter, difficulty in breathing,
frequent sueezing, huskiness of voice,
discharge from the nose, stoppage of
the nose at night, aching of the body,
drOppings in the throat, mouth open
while sleeping, tickling back of the
palate, formation of crusts in the
nose, dryness of the throat in the
morning. loss of strength. spasms of
coughing, cough short and hacking,
cough worse nights and mornings.
loss in vital force, feeling of tight
ness across the upper part of the
chest.
Hyomei will cure the disease. de
stroy activity of all germ life in the
respiratory organs, enrich and purify
the blood with additional ozone, and
after few days use of this treat
ment the majority of these symp-
tens will have disappeared. In a few
weeks the cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot
exist when Hyomei is used. This is a
strong statement, but +. ii. Thomas
emphasizes it by agreeing to refund
your money if Hyomei does not cure.
