Il am satisfied that there is not a finer
medicine placed before the public today
than Peruna- I have been troubled for
nearly twelve years with kidney and
liver trouble. and at times l have been
pretty sick man unable to attend to
my duties.
L had about made UP my mind that
no medicine could help me when one
of your booklets was brought to
office which read in leisure hou.
then decided to give Peruna a trial and
found that had at last secured tie
right medicine for me.
For two months 1 used it faithful
and then felt so well that ] was like a
young man once more. This was over a
year ago and have not had any trou-
BILE since.
although 1 am in the seventies, I
feel better and more active than 1 did

REFUSED TO BE BLEED.
J. j. Ryan Testifies Regarding
Deal With p. O. Boodlers.

Cincinnati, O., Oct 14.-When the
Miller and Johns trial was resumed to-
day the direct examination of J. J.
Ryan was still in progress. At the ad-
journment of court last night Judge
Thompson took under advisement the
objection of counsel to Ryan testifying
to what Johns said 10 him about what
Miller may have said to Johns con-
corning future difficulties
When court convened today, Judge
Thompson decided that a prina facie
case had been sufficiently made out to
permit the testimony of Ryan to be
admitted. Counsel for the defense ex-
cepted to the ruling and the examina-
ton of Ryan by the government coun-
sci was resumed.
While Ryan proceeded to repeat in
detail conversation between Johns
and himself in a room at Terre
Haute hotel. during which the witness
claimed to have made a. contract with
Johns for 81, 500 fo1 favorable ruling
from Miller. Counsel for the defend
ants interposed frequent objections
which were overruled by Judge Thomp-
son. Ryan also testified that all his
future transactions were with Johns as
the middleman up to last December
when Johns came to Cincinnati and
they met in a room at the Gibson house
where Ryan gave Johns 81, 100 in cash
and $3,40o in two checks. Ryan con-
tlnued his story about subsequent
transactions in which he said Johns
wanted more funds right along until
the witness finally made a statement of
the whole matter to the poStoffice in
spectors and made no further efforts to
get bets on the races through the mails.

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Dis
Kidney Trouble Often Fails to
be Regarded as Catarrh by Ply
sicians.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM
mon indeed. 1t is a pity this fact is not
better known to the physicians as well
as the people.
People have kidney disease. They take
some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They never once think of "a
seldom associated in the minds of the
people, and alas. it is not very often as
ISOLATED in the minds of the physicians.
Too few physicians recognize catarrh of
the kidneys. They doctor for something
else. They try this remedy and that
remedy. The trouble may be catarrTi
all the time. A few bottles of Peruna
would cure them.
Pe-ru-na Removes the Cause of the
Kidney Trouble.
Peruna strikes at the very. center of
the difficulty, by graduating the catarrh
from the kidneys. Catarrh is the cause
of kidney difficulty. Remove the cause
and you remove the effect. With I'M
erring accuracy Peruna goes right to
the spot. The kidneys are soon doing
their work with perfect regularity.
Thousands of testimonials from peo-
pie who have had kidney disease which
had gone beyond the control of the
physician, are received by DIR. Hartman
every year, giving Peruna the whole
praise for marvellous cures.
