GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their
Recovery After Years of
Suffering.

Miss Maria Ducharme of Montreal,
Can, who has been a great sufferer for
years writes a grateful and gracious
letter as follows:
Il am satisfied that thousands of
women suffer with troubles peculiar
to their sex because they do not realize
how bad they really need treatment
and feel a natural delicacy in consult
ing a physician.
Il felt badly for years, had terrible
pains at times and was unable to at
tend to my daily duties. tried, with
douches and washes to cure myself,
but finally my attention was called to
an advertisement of Peruna of a case
similar to mine. and decided to give
it a trial My improvement began as
soon as L started to use Peruna and
soon / was well woman. L feel that
owe my life and my health to your
wonderful medicine and greatly ac-
knowledge this fact."-Miss Maria
Ducharnle.

CROPS MAKE PROGRESS.
Recent Rains Have Saved Them in
 Many Sections.

In tho current weekly crop bulletin, issued for the New England section by the weather bureau, it IS stated that all crops have made excellent progress during the week, the absence of moisture having been rel1eved Dy general showers on June 2. The con dftion of corn varies in d1fferen1 parts of the section. Some reports state that it is backward. and others that tt has made a good growth, put nearly all state thst the growth LOT the past week has been very good.
 Grass, in all parts of the section, IS greatly improved by the showers, and some correspondents in Main state that the crop was saved by the rain of that date. In parts of eastern Massachusetts heavy local bhowers and high winds have caused some damage by lodginC the grass; In parts of New Hampshire correspondents state that pastures are brown, no rain having fallen since the 9th of the month.
 In the tobacco section of Massa- chusetts the plants have nearly all been hoed Tn Connecticut the first hoeing has been done, and the plans are growing finely. Apples promise continue to promise good crop, but peaches and plums weer winter-killed in many localities. Grapes, in south ern sections, are being injured by rose bugs.
 Potatoes are making good growth l and there is little complaint of bugs. Early peas are maturing rapidly. Con- siderable injury has been caused by cutworms and rose bugs, but. vegeta- bles have made good growth during the week.
