A Fruit-Grower's Letter.

". E. Birch, fruit grower. Alton, Va,
writes:
MY wife was very much run down and
out of sorts every way. She had female
weakness and was very weak. nervous,
and had no appetite. I tried her on every
thing l could think of, but she would not
touch thing-could not eat strawber-
ries, even. l saw Peruna in my father S
store one day; and after reading the print
ed matter OH the BOTTLE decided to have
my wife try it. Before she had taken
half of the bottle she commenced to eat.
and now she is hungry all the time We
both agree that it beats any medicine to
bring an appetite and put the nerves in
good shape that We have ever had any
thing to do with.
1--WE had our family doctor to give her
medicine. but she did not improve in the
least She has consumption in her fami-
ly and she was in such bad shape and sc
run down that began to get very uneasy
but your medicine has made an entirely
new woman of her. | believe she eats anC
feels better now than she has for years
I had no idea it would do half what it has
done and don't think there is another
medicine made that will begin to com
pare with it."-W. E. Birch.

'I fully believe Peruna saved my life.
About two years ago after returning from
Alaska I was taken with catarrh of the
stomach and in fact of the whole system.
My stomach failed me as nothing l ate
seemed to do me any good but always
gave me pains and belching of gas. My
kidneys got sore and weak, had palpita-
ton of the heart, my lungs were sore and
it was difficult to draw a long breath. [
also had fainting spells, and while walking
also had to get up at night and sit in
chair to keep from smothering. My legs
and arms panied me most of the time, my
feet were cold on the hottest day, my
tongue was coated, I had chils from my
head to my feet. l was weak and had
very little life and everything looked dark
to me, and often wished for the end
Il took all kinds of medicine-do not
think there is a drug store in this city
that 1 did not get some truck from I
also used vapor baths, dieted, drank all
the mineral waters. had many consulta-
tions with two of the best doctors of this
city, used their prescriptions, but all
seemed of no use.
after months of this kind of work I
fully made up my mind to try Peruna, and
thank God for it. as I had not used over
two bottles until felt a change. and have
been getting better ever since, and now
am well and strong. All my friends tell
me how well look. Let me say to those
who are stick, try Peruna if you have
any of my symptoms, it will cure you.
Don't expect to be cured by one bottle, but
stick to it until cured."-J. Edward Clark

An Old Mans Letter.

Mr. Isaac Brock of McLennan county.
Tex, has attained the great age of ia
years. He speaks as follows Of Peruna:
After man has lived in the world as
long as 1 have he ought to have found
out a great many things by experience.
| think l have done so. One of the things
I have found out to my entire satisfaction
is the proper remedy for ailments due
directly to the effects of the climate. For
ia years I have withstood the changeable
climate of the United States. During my
Ions life l have known great many rem
edes for coughs, colds. catarrh and diar-
rhoca. l had always supposed these al
fectons to be different diseases. For the
last ten or fifteen years have been read
ing Dr. Hartmans books and have learned
from them one thing in particular; that
these affections are the same. and that
they are properly called catarrh. AS for
Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have
found it to be the best if not tho only
reliable remedy for, these affections. 1T
has been my standby for many years. and
attribute my good health and my ex-
treme age to this remedy.'-Mr. Isaac

Kansas City, June 16.-lt 10 imPos-
sible ct this time to form any exact
estimate Of the losses caused by the
late flood. From the figures that are
available q. present, it appears that
the loss in the aggregate will approxi'
mate $1O,OOO,OOO to $4,000. 600.
This vast sum Is divided up among
thousands Of individuals and coiPora-
tions, ranging all the way from the
laborer who lost everything he had
and whose loss is less than e26, to the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
which lost over 100000.
Nobody wanted to say definitely
Nhst loss had been sustained but
most Of the persons approached were
willing to venture q guess as to the
osses inflicted upon other concerns
than their own In the same line oi
business. Few would make definite
guesses and none Of them wished to
be quoted for obvious reasons.
As nearly as could be determined
from the records, there were S,2l6
dwelling houses inundated during the
rise OF the waters. II is also esti-
mated that there were 100 business
houses Of size drowned out. There
were perhaps 200 smaller places Of
business that we're more or less dam
aged. Nearly 8 score Of bridges went
ont with the food and the railroad
property destroyed and damaged Is
enormous in amount. The packing
plants are heavy losers, but the losses
sustained BY the concerns Of this clAs'
