HEALTHYOL DAGE
.Pe.ru-rla Invaluable for the
Catarrhal Diseases Pc
culiar to Old Age.

In old age, no matter how healthy the
person may be, there is a tendency to
coldness, sluggishness Of the circulation,
inadequate digestion of food. Such a con-
dition is not exactly disease, but is one
of the inevitable consequences of old age.
Peruna is peculiarly adapted to these con-
ditions, which result from old age. It
spreads a grateful warmth throughout the
whole system. It inyigorates the circula-
ton. 1t increases the digestive powers.
In short, it mitigates all Of the symptoms
which are directly caused by old age.
Peruna never fails to be Of insstlmable
worth to old people. It prevents prema-
ture wrinkles. It gives health and elias
ITCHY to the skim and under its use the
sallowness and wizened expression disap-
pears. It has been stated over and over
again in letters from old people that "Pe-
runa has made me look twenty years
younger"
In old age the mucous membrane be-
comes thickened and partly loses its
function
This leads to partial loss of hearing,
smell and taste, as well as digestive dis
turbances.
| Peruna corrects all this by it's specific
operation on all the mucous mem branes
of the body. sr.a

MRS. CUMMINGS is GUILTY,

st. Louis, July 14.-A jury has found
Mrs Minnie Cummings charged with kill
ing her husband, Dennis Cunmins, April
10, guilty. The penalty was fixed at 10
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The defendant Will soon be tried for the
murder of her third husband Edward M.
Harris who died Oct. 5, 1901. His death
was termed suicide.
Those injured are reported to be resting
easily and all, it Is believed, will recover.
That none Of the great audience was
killed or fatally injured is regarded as
miraculous.
The tent, which was 2so feet long by 80
wide and Sc feet high in the center, was
owned by the Endeavorers and was sent
here from Boston. It is a wreck. It Is
said it was improperly erected by local
tent men.
Much credit is given Percy S. Forester
of Washington, Rev. E. j. Horsefield of
Bristol England; L.. M. Lewis, assistant
chief usher, and Miss Winfield Sleep,
whose presence Of mind and prompt
action prevented the accident from becom-
ing more serious than it was.

Judge Parker Of New York is very es-
