Men of Prominence Do Not Hesitate II
Endorse Pe-ru-na.

Over fifty members of Congress,
twenty-eight Generals of our Army,
Governors, Admirals, Mayors, proIni-
nent lawyers. physicians, business men,
club men, literary men and scholars of
prominence and many other men of
national reputation endorse Peruna.
Thousands of people in the humber
walks of life use it as a family med
icine Used once in the home it always
stays. Almost all the diseases of win
ter are due to catarrh: Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located
PromptHess of Pe-ru-na UnequaIled.
Peruna can be relied uDon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with a promptness
that is unequaled by any other remedy.
It first invigorates the system. in
creases the appetite, then the patient
begins to gain flesh. hope takes the
place of dependency. and all the mis-
chievous symptoms which the chronic
catarrh has produced will disappear
one by one in the reverse order of their
appearance. 1t has cured thousands
upon thousands of this harassing and
distressing malady.

An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth 1
Pound of Cure.

The treatment of colds ought to be-
gin with the appearance of the first
symptoms. Since a cold has the inva-
riable effect of producing congestion
of some mucous surface, the remedy
for it ought to operate there also. The
compound. Peruna, was devised with
especial reference to this effect. 1t
operates by increasing the circulation
in the mucous membranes of the whole
body, and, no matter where the cold
may have settled. whether in the head,
throat, lungs, kidneys or urinary or
gans, Peruna will Immediately relieve
the congested membrane and stop the
discharge
There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
during the winter season will absO-
lutely protect a person from catching
cold. Now if this is true (and there
is no doubt of it,, thousands of lives
would be saved, and tens of thousands
of cases Of chronic sea tarrh prevented.
by this simple precau tiop within the
reach of every one.

The Tenacious Character of Chronic
Catarrh.

Perhaps the majority of physicians
believe chronic catarrh to be incurabie,
but no wonder-it is a hard disease to
cure Many physicians cannot cure it.
at least only temporarily A very few
have had the extensive experience to
cure catarrh permanently.
Among these few stands DR.. Hartman.
His fame in curing chronic catarrh is
known far and wide. His principal
remedy is Peruna. He has used this
remedy for nearly forty years. 1t cures
catarrh permanently-old cases slowly
but surely; new cases quickly and last
ingly. There need be no failure
Coughs. colds, Ia grippe, influenza,
bronchitis and all diseases of the
throat, chest and lungs are promptly
durable by Peruna.
AS a remedy for winter diseases it
has no equal

A Cold, the First Step Toward Chronic
Catarrh.

After cold has been contracted
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 consumption have been reached. it
will take much longer to effect a cure.
1t seems strange that as we'll known
and as well established as these facts
are that anyone should neglect to
profit by them. and yet no doubt there
are many who pay little or no atten-
ton to them and go on catching cold,
acquiring chronic catarrh and con-
sumption.
Peruna kept in the house and prop
erly used will therefore not only act as
safeguard against the ailments which
result from sudden cold waves, but
will also prove sure remedy for this
class of ailments.

Pe.ru.la Cannot BE initiated.

Some things may be successfully

one purchasing Peruna should look out
for limitations Examine each package
carefully. If you have ever used Pc
runa or if you have ever tasted it. you
are not in the slightest danger of be-
ing misled by these limitations. but all
those beginning the use of Peruna
should bcWare-
Beware of limitations. Believe no one
who tells you that he has a remedy
that is making the same cures that Pc
runa is making.
If you have any doubt as to the
genuineness of the bottle of Peruna
you are using, write to DR.. Hartman
and the fraud, if there be any, will soon
be detected.

WHY THEY ARE POOR.

Their ideas are larger than their
purses.
They are easy dupes of schemers and
promoters.
They reverse the maxim, "Duty be.
fore pleasure
They have too many and too expen-
sive amusements.
They do not think it worth while to
save nickels and dimes.
They have risked a competence in
trying to get rich quickly.
They allow friends to impose upon
their good nature and generosity.
They try to do what others expect Of
them, not what they can afford.
They prefer to incur debt rather than
to do work which they consider be-
meath them.
They think it will be time enough to
begin to save for rainy day when the
rainy day comes.
They risk all their eggs in one basket
when they are not in position to
watch or control it.-Success.

queer Drunken Manias.

kn English sheriff who died some
years since kept record Of the curl
GUS cases Of drunk enness that came
under his observation. Several habit
ual cases had developed odd manias.
One woman who had been arrested 1G7
times for drunkenness in twenty-eight
years, had a mania for breaking win
dows when she was intoxicated. An
old soldier, suffering from wound in
the head, always stole Bibles when he
was tipsy. Another man stole nothing
but spades. while one wornan's fancy
ran to shawls and another's to shoes.
A man named Grubb was imprisoned
seven times for stealing tubs, although
there was nothing in his line Of life to
make tubs particularly desirable to
him.

Reading and Thinking.

The things one merely reads about
never stick. Those on which one
thinks become permanent acquisitions;
hence the man who is not afraid of
thinking and who does not dread that
cursed hour in the dark" is at q dis
tnct advantage on every ground. He
passes the time without being bored,
and he strengthens his mind. To say
this may no doubt sound slightly prig.
gish, but it is none the less true. The
man who can enjoy and make use OF
his own thoughts has a heritage which
can never be alienated. Even blindness
for him loses some Of it's terrors.-
