HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED
SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA.

MerYous Prostrafion.

Nervous Pr0StrafiOH.
Thousands of cases might be quoted IN
which Peruna has been used to rescue
people from the perdition of deranged
nerves, and put them on the good, solid
foundation of health. The County Audi
tor of Erie County, New York, Hon. John
w. Nef, in a recent letter written at
Buffalo, New York, stated: 81 was per-
suaded by friend to try bottle of Your
great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the results
we're so gratifying that am more than
pleased TO recommend it. "
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves.
invigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna will do this is beyond all
question. Everyone who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. y, w.
Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va, who in a
recent letter, made use of the following
words: II always take a dose of Peruna
after business hours, as il is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better spring
tonic, and have used about all of them"
Cafarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat ca
tarrh. Nature renews herself every spring.
The system is rejuvenated by spring
weather. This renders medicines more
effective. A short course of Peruna, assist
ed by the balmy air Of spring, viii cure old,
stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted
treatment for years. Everybody should
have a copy of Or. Hartman's latest book
on catarrh. Address the Peruna Medicine

The speaker instanced the rearma-
ment Of the army with artillery which
had already been relegated to the sec

Bebel said, had entered into the COM

her great resources and energy. will

Herr Bebel further said the empires
expenditures for the army and navy
were likely to grow even greater un-
der the present conception OF the for
eign policy.
Germany wanted to be first every
where. It's attitude toward weaker
states would never be tolerated toward
itself.
Its action toward Hayti was brusaue,
and how. the speaker asked can the
Panther's bombardment of Fort San

His Last Hone Realized.

[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.l
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one OF his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect Of
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

A TRAMP IN HER BED.-Returning
home at dusk Monday Miss Nettie
Granger, of Winsted, Conn.,, heard loud
snoring in her bedroom. She found a
tramp in her bed, his clothes hung on a
chair. She hastened out of the house to
Edward Yale's tavern. "There's man
in my house." she said as she opened
the tavern door, "and he's in my bed,
too" Yale went and sat on the tramp
while she got the constable. The tramp,
who described himself as George Spring
er. of Torrington, was remanded for trial.
