u. s. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na lie
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia -.-Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Cataiih.

Tx. U. S. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
Il South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, D. c., says:
Wcan recommend Peruna for dys-
pePsia and stomach trouble. Ihave
been using your medicine for a Short
period and ! feel very much relieved.
1t is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. "---M. c. Butler.
The only rationalwa to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, Simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh islocated
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna curesit. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is q catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

About one year ago, was suffering
advertisement of a medicine called Dodd' 8
Kidney Pills and sent for two boxes.

my Kidneys since.
Il have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to Others, who have tried them, and
everyone who used them has been cured.
l think they are a great remedy and all

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or
early developed tendency to
torturing, dishguring humors
of the Skin and Scalp, becomes
an object of the most tender

its suffering, but because of tho
dreadful fear that the dis6gu-
ration is to be lifelong and mar
its future happiness and pros

duty of mothers of such afflict-

The Taking on Of POntO.

There is grief and mourning in
Frogtown over the sudden taking
off of Will Bakers dog, Ponto.
He died an ignomin;ous death at
the hands of Ed Ricamore and all
because he developed taste for
mutton. Ponto partook of his
masters intelligence in the matter
of taste. He was an epicure, and
has been known TO eschew all
society at night time but that of
the night operator and his lunch
basket. His caudal appendage did
not Interfere with extending his
acquaintance among other dogs,
but he seemed content TO accom-
pany his master up town and
amuse himself by looking for a
little mound, or seeing how long he
could balance himself on three legs
with the other elevated. He was re-
markable for verifying statements
made by his master after a hard
days hunt. He has been known tO
retrieve his masters lost pocket
book and cigar case from one hunt
ing season To another. In dog
days he generally wore muzzlC
with needle in the nose tip and in
cultivating the acquaintance of q
strange dog his CONSERVATION and
