 Peruna is such a perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used it they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagreea ble symptoms at once. The backache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weaken ing drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow course of treatment with Peruna.
 Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis, writes as follows in regard to Peruna:

DISGUISED CATARRH
Steahy nsdous, Weakening Enemy Thousand
 Suffer Needlessly This Cause

There are a multitude of women, es- pecially housewives, and all other wom- en obliged to be on their feet constant ly, who are wretched beyond descrip- tion, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal discharges from the pelvic organs. These women get up in the morning tired, drag themselves through their daily duties tired, only to go to bed at night as tired as before.

SCHOOL NOTES.
written from the University NORMALLY

NHEi from TIE buiNbfelty NOfulhi,t
The Normal and Summer School
now in progress at the State Uni
versity, both in point of numbers
and in the work done, is making
a record far ahead of any thing
ever done in the State before.
The management has employed
a large corps of instructors and
lecturers; men and women in
some instances of more than ma
tional reputation, ripe in scholar
ship, broad in their views and
earnest in their work.
This means great things for the
future of Mississippi. Here insti-
tute conductors are being trained
for their future summer work.
Separate district and high school
principals and also county super
intendents are being trained for
supervision and school manage
ment. The teachers of these
schools are being better equipped
for the class room.
Later on announcements will be
made as to the time of holding a
two-weeks' institute.
Now, the county superinten-
dent of Lincoln county feels that
the children of the county are en-
titled to the best instruction that
can be had. This the trustees of
the schools should give them. /
believe that it can be said without
fear of contradiction that the
teachers of Lincoln have had more
encouragement to improve them
than the teachers of many coun-
ties. Yet, there are still few
teachers in the county who never
attend any teachers meetings,
county Institutes nor any
other training schools. The re-
suit is that the school where these
teachers help are without any sort
of system, no Improvements have
been made on their school build
ings and they are usually without
representation in our county con-
tests or in any thing else that
looks to the improvement of oul
schools. The time has come to
call a halt On this sort of thing.
and the trustees of schools are
earnestly requested to cooperate
with the county superintendent il
securing first class teachers fol-
the coming term. Summer tern
will open 9Th.

day in April During his travelling

his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrh@a
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 Diarrh@a Remedy
as last hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about on the
ground In great agony, and In a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for
