FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases,

According to an article in the Cincin'
natl Commercial, fifty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
in a bale of hay Of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump OF
lead of nearly one-half the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen.
ter Of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is
.secreted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc.
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub,
lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lugged a lump of lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case ~. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out Of
gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
guaranteeing the fneness of wa -ch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is ia
advertise a watch described as a solid
gold filled watch with a twenty or twenty
hve-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent C. o. D., and if the pnr.
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.
The Dueber- Hampden Watch Company
Of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names Of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business.

CATCHING COLD
Is the Beginning Of Most Winter
Ailments-Pe-ru-na Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no fact Of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect person from catching cold. Now,
if this is true land there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved,
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of
every one.
After cold has been contracted a
teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages of
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect cure.
It seems strange that as we'll known
