EAG&&D smiling. For little while he
lay content drowsily wondering why
he smiled. only knowing that there
was something new. 1t was thus az

mornings or on Christmas or on the
Fourth of July, drifting happily out OF
pleasant dreams into the consciousness
of long awaited delights that had come
true yet lying only half awake in a
cheerful borderland. leaving happiness
underlined.
The morning breeze was futtering at
his window blind, a honeysuckle vine
tapped lightly on the pane. Birds were
thrilling, warbling. whistling, and from
the street came the rumbling of wag-
ons. merry cries of greeting and the
barking of dogs. What was it made
him feel so young and strong and light
hearted? The breeze brought him the
smell of June roses, fresh and sweet
with dew. and then he knew why he
had come smiling from his dreams. He
leaped out Of bed and shouted loudly:

A few moments later the colored
man. seated on the front steps of the

HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED
SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA.
Nothing Robs One of Strength Like Spring Catarrh--
Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh.

ttor OF Erie county, New York, Hon.
John w. Neff, in recent letter written
at Buffalo, New York, stated: al was
persuaded by friend to try bottle Of
your great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the
results were SO gratifying that I am
more than pleased to recommend it."
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried 1t has had the same experience as
Mrs. D. W. Tlmberlake, of Lynchburg,
Va, who, in recent letter, made use of
the following words: al always take
dose of Peruna after business hours, as
it is great thing for the nerves. There
is no better spring tonic, and have
used about all of them"
Catarrh In Spring.
Tie spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. 4 short course of Pc
runa, assisted by the balmy air of spring,
will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh
that have resisted treatment for years.
Everybody should have copy of DIR.
Hartman's latest book on catarrh. Adj
