Thousands of Women Cured by Pc
ru-na of Annoying Catarrh.

DR.. Hartman has probably done more
than any other physician toward popu-
larizing a means of escape from the
facial deformities, such as watery eyes,
twisted nose, offensive breath, dry
cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects
of catarEh.
He has made chronic catarrh a life
long study. His remedy, popularity
known as Peruna, is the most famous
remedy for catarrh in existence.
Probably there is not a man or wo-
man. boy or girl, within the bounds of
the United States that has not heard of

Triumphs of Modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the hui
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and scraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed entirely
bones are spliced; pipes take the place of
diseased sections of veins: antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds. bruises,
burns and like injuries before infamma-
ton sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and in one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle 1t is antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. It also allayS
the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to mention the
injuries entail. For sale by all druggists.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to

and commendation testifying to the
merits of Peruna as q catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State III the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hum
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-aQ agree that Peruna IS
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
rs their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testl-
mony. ,4l
ANY man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost om-
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds;
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out OF
it's victims. Peruna not only cures ca,
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied,with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

The Texas s.weed Killer"

We once knew a farmer in Grimes
county, Texas, who was known as the
weed-killer." One of the tenets OF
his agricultural religion was. to never
let a weed go to seed. on his farm.
Often we have seen him ride up and
dismount with a weed in his hand,
make his way to the kitchen, where
he would cremate the weed in the
kitchen stove. It is needless to say
that he made money. He bought ZOO
acres adjoining his farm that was at
the time covered with vast sea OF
waving green cocklebur,s, with a doz-
en- other weeds, wherever they could
find room to grow. Two years later
we were looking at this farm. and ait
er riding entirely around inside the
fence, failed to find weed, large OF
small. This man had the reputation
of being the best farmer in the county

We do not live in the section where
the boil weevil has put in his appear
ance. We are not personally acqualnt-
ed with this new pest, nor are we anx-
ious to get acquainted.
But we feel deep interest IN the
progress it is making and damage 1t IL
threatening to do.
We are deeply interested in every
thing that effects the farming interests
| of the south.
For these reasons we venture to sug-
gest a thought. 1t may be foolish
suggestion, but the emergency is upon
| us, we must find some way to conquer
| this weevil or he may destroy the cot
ton industry of the south, and the great
interests throughout the world that oe-
pend upon our cotton.
| Would it not be better for the farm
ers who live in the infected districts
to quit planting cotton for a few years.
This would be a great sacrifice to them.
But it would be one that would be JUS
tilted in view of the calmity that
threatens them, and through them the
cotton producers and manufacturers OF
the American cotton crop.
They can not hope to make profit
raising cotton while the weevil is pres
ent. Would it not then be to their in-
terest in the end to starve them out al
once. ~
Say take ten years, would not the
farmer be better off at the end OF thu
ten years if he should plant no cotto1
for three or four years, and then plan
without danger from the weevil.
