Mr.. NJ. j. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant Of Greensboro, Ca, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
"For a long time I was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all Of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using a few
bottles l am pleased TO say that the long
looked for relief was found and lam now
enjoying better health than I have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruua TO all similarly afflicted. IL Is
certainly a grand medicine. IN. j.
ROssman.
Catarrh is essentially the same where
eve located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
