WEATHER At WORLDS FAIR,
Cool Nights and Delightful India
Summer 20 Be Expected At St. Louis,

Cool Nights and Delightful indian
Summer 70 Be Expected at st. Louis.
Usually the warmest month of the
year. July proved to be one Of the most
pleasant Of the Worlds Fair ~eason,
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees. a record lower than that made
by either Boston. New York. Philadel-
phia. Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures In St. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August in St Louis is q month of
cool nights. and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months of
the year. 1t Il shat period known rs
Indian summer. when the foliage and
birds hnger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con.
dnent Is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. a garden
Of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis, like all cities. experienced
several hot days during July. but her
highest temperature recorded was 03
degrees against o. degrees registered
BY the thermometer ut Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to %
degrees In Philadelphia. and scores Of
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows st.
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture In the atmoe-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100. the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records Of moro than
twenty years, Boston shows 70.6, New
York 72.2. Philadelphia CSC. Cincin-
natl GAG. Chicago $50 and St Louis
66.3. The same degree Of heat in two
places. with different degrees Of hu-
nudity. would cause it to seem the
hotter at the point Of greater density.
St. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be q summer resort this summer,
positively one Of the most comfortable
and delightful places on the map.

A Wonderful Discovery,

Broadland. S. OAK, March 28.-
Quite sensation has been created here
by the publication of the story of G..
W. Gray, who after special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray, there is remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as a little babe.
My wife and searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that I would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 praise God
for the day when I decided to do so for
this remedy met every phase of my case
and in a short time l was able to get
out of bed and after few weeks treat
ment 1 was strong, we'll man. Dodd's
Kidney Pills saved my life.'
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Dis
ease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certain
ly the most wonderful discovery which
modern medical research has given to
the world.

Under date of January 10, 1897, DR..
Hartman received the following letter:
"Myfwife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past 25
years.
"Her case had baffied the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One of her worst troubles was chronic
constipation of several years. standing.
''She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June,
1895, wrote to you about her case.
You advised course of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
ands have to say it completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these
wonderful remedies.
"About the same time 1 wrote you
about my own case of catar1h, which
had been of 25 years. standing. At
times was almost past going. 1 COM
menced to use Peruna according to your
intructions and continued its use for
about a. year, and it has completely
cured me.

taken according to directions. Sue

John O. Atkinson.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1904-04-01

In letter dated January /, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years. experi-
ence with Peruna:
'I will ever continue to speak good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a
travelling man am walking adver-
tisement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. lam still cnred of catarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box 272, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peru
ma is their safeguard. Peruna is the
only remedy yet devised that meets
these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement OF your case and
he will be pleased to give you his valu-
able advice gratis.

Bantam to the Rescue,

One day a flock of sparrows were
noticed flying excitedly around house,
and on going near saw that a young
sparrow had fallen from a nest under
the tiles and was too young to fly
back.
Suddenly bantam cock stepped for
ward. He evidently quite understood
the state Of affairs, for he picked the
little mite up very tenderly in his beak.
mounted an empty cart that happened
to be conveniently near, flew from 1t
on to the tiles and, stretching his neck
out over the edge replaced the sparrow
in it's nest.
In doing so, however, he overbal-
anced himself and tumbled to the
ground. But after 'pluming his feath-
ers for a minute he strutted about the
yard none the worse for his adventure
and evidently very proud of his ex-
ploit.
