was started, the sickle got in motion
Mr.. Gruetzmachers feet caught in the
guards of the sickle and the fact that
he wore heavy boots was all that saved
his feet from being cut off. With rare
presence OF mind, Mr.. Gruetzmacher
pulled on the reins and turned the
horses toward home and when near the

FOR THIRTY YEAR,
Congressman rleekison Suffered With Catarrl1===R
His Endorsement of Pe=ru=na.

a TONIC is medicine that g.,
IA tone to some part of the syst@T
There are different kinds OF tonics, BIT
the tonic most needed in this country.
where catarrh is SO prevalent, is tonic
that operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is tonic to the mucous mems
branes of the whole body. Itgives tone
to the capillary circulation which COM
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is .
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the hide
den parts of the body.
A. NJ. Ikerd, an employe Of the G. b.
& q. r. r., West BurIing ton, Ia, writes |:
81 had catarrh OF the stomach and
small intes tines for number of years.
l went to number Of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one OF my doctors
sent me to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that had cancer OF the stomach
and there was no cure. almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. could hardly stand It, it was
SO offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and gradually
grew worse.
"Finally got one Of your books, and
concluded would try Peruna, and thank
God, found q relief and . cure for that
dreadful disease. I took FIVE bottles Of
Peruna and two of Manalin, and now
feel like new man. There Is nothing
better than Peruna, and keep bottle
in my house all the time."-A. n. Ikerd.
Catarrh OF the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pepsin powders or
any other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is removal Of
OF the stomach. This Peruna will Do.
This Peruna has done thousands and
thousands Of times.
Congressman Botkin, Of Kansas, Wa
cured OF catarrh Of the stomach OF many
years standing. Hundreds Of other
cases have been reported to rs through
unsolicited testimonials. Peruna Is the
only internal systemic remedy for CO.
tarrh yet devised. Every one afflicted
with catarrh In the slightest degree
ought to take course Of Peruns.
II you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use OF Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving :
full statement of your case and he Will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.
