The magnificent majority received by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his home State in my opinion
is due to his unquestoned integrity high char
acter, great ability and devotion TO the welfare
OF the masses of the people In my recent cam
paign tour through the State the Republicans
were all united and earnest for his election and
every place visited Democrats openly and
frankly expressed their intention OF supporting
him.
L feel greatly indebted to the thousands Of
earnest in and outside OF our party who
have so earnestly supported the State ticket in
order to rebuke those who have always been
ready so unJusuy to assail the character OF
public officials for political profit and private
gain

Hundreds of Women Cured Of tn
First Stages of COnsumpt on
by Pe-ru-na.
The Following Letter From a Thank.
full Woman Tells Its Own
Story.

Mrs. Mary Z. Hoblit, 25Ol Clinton
avenue, Minneapolis, Mimi, writes;
"Ny son suffered for three months with
catarrh Of the bronchial tubes which
threatened to become very serious. The
doctors advised that he seek a more
favorable climate, but as he had heard of
Peruna as a specific for lung trouble he
decided to give it trial before he left
his family for an expensive Journey
among strangers. For six months he
used it faithfully and found that the
trouble gradually disappeared and bless
ed health took its place. In two months
he was perfectly well and able to per
form his duties. You have indeed a
grateful mothers thanks."-Mrs. Mary

CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Cas-.
tarrh Wherever Located.

TNHE medical profession has so thor
4 oughly prejudiced the minds OF the
people against patent medicines thatit
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such a remedy
at first.
In nearly every one Of the thousands
of remarkable cures that Peruna has
made the patients had to be persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside their prejudice againstit
a large multitude, Of course, hold out
against the persuasions of friends and
die simply because they have allowed
their minds to be poisoned against this
very excellent remedy.
But fortunately there is another large
multitude OF people who are able to
shake of their prejudice and try Peruna
before IL is too late. These people are
rarely disappointed. They generally try
other remedies at the beginning of their
troubles. They allow cold to develop
into catarrh Of the head. They allow
catarrh Of the head to gradually become
catarrh OF the throat. They still keep
using the doctors medicine, or some
other Intellectual remedy. The catarrh
stealthily spreads down the bronchial
tubes and reaches the lungs. Every body
then becomes alarmed. Faith in the
doctor begins TO disappear. The patient
reaches a state Of mind in which he is
willing to try almost anything. A bot
tie OF Peruna is sent for.
The first week it produces q decided
change for the better. A few weeks
continued treatment cures the patient.
Then another happy man or woman is
added to the long list Of people who are
praisng Peruna.
II you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Or. Hartman, giving a
full statement Of your case, and hc viii
ae pleased to give you his valuable ID
Nirc gcptis.
