letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: :"
"For long time was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using few
bOttlesI am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and lam now
enjoying better health than I have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. 1t Is
certainly grand medicine. IN. j.

Catarrh is essentially the same where
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. r.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case and he will

THE day was when men of Brpmi-
Il nence hesitated to give theft testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true today
of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men In our nation have
given Peruna q strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E.G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church. ."..
Rev. f. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga, writes
"Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its truo worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other RENE
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special

John Taylor winner of the NJ & M
race at Detroit, is looked upon by every
one who saw his performance in the NJ.
81 M. as an exceptionally high-class
trottcr. He goes without boots or rig
ging of any kind and knows nothing
but trot. In the third heat of the
Detroit race he got into a collision with
HE Boy and Robizoa and after freeing
himself from the sulky finished the mile
on the tr0t, after which being allowed
to start, as the accident was considered
unavoidable by the judges, he vent on
and won the race. This is certainly
ample evidence that he is good headed
and game as we'll as fast.

clip now, without training, and when
Mr.. Austin puts her into the hands of
| G. L. Foss, as he thinks of doing this
| fall, she can soon do a mile in fast time.
Mr.. Austin got this mare in Monticello
a few months ago, and says she is the
fastest one he ever got from down that
way. That is saying a good deal by the
man who got Mack Dufferin, Rainbow

Dexter, the black stallion, SO years

whatever about his age, being foaled in
| Houlton, in Dec. 1864. Mr. Monson
says Dexter has gone more miles and
hauled more loads than any other horse

as driver. The horse does not look

The addition to the wooden building
at the Comfort plant is well along in
construction. 1t is on the north end of
the old building, being 25X30 on the
ground and the second story and attic
measuring 3Ox55, the difference in
figures coming from the fact that the
upper part extends over the old one
story portion. The work is very solid
and the structure VIII be able to stand
the strain of the heaviest material.
The convenience afforded will be great,
az the space of the composing room
will be doubled and the remainder of
the new quarters will be devoted to
general storage purposes. Contractor
Frank Wellman is doing the work. A
heavy stone foundation is also being
put under the old wooden building.
