The six weeks were drawing to Il
close, and May was growing uneasy on
the subject of her wager For the first
time her carefully sharpened arrows had
failed to hit the destined mark; and al
though her heart was not interested, her
pride was, and she determined anew upon
conquest. But with Fay the wager had
been forgotten, as one afternoon she stole
down to the music room. Every one was
out. The house was deserted, as she sat
down at the piano and let her hands play
with the keys. Had her brain invoked
the melody which followed, or was it the

age, when another manly, strange voice

Dear Sirs---I have had occasion to
use your PeruBa medicine in my FAM
lily for colds, and it provedtO be an eX.
CeUenf remedy. 1 have not had ocs
casion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly,
w. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Ex-GOV-
ernor says he has not had occasion TO
use Peruna for other ailments. The
reason for this is, most other ailments
begin with cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other
ailments.
This is exactly what every other fam
| ily in the United States should do
keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide them
selves with copy of DR.. Hartman's free
book, entitled, Chronic Catarrh.'
