Then they catch another cold and be- gin to cough. Then they take cough syrups which do no good.
 By and by they get tired of taking med icine and give up in despair Their cola continues and their cough grows worse.
 Then they apply to a doctor, only to find that they are in the first stages of con- sumption.
 At any time during the progress of the catarrh. from the first onset of the cold to It's final settlement in the lungs, Pe- runa can be relied upon to check the progress of the catarrh.
 Sometimes after a diagnosis of con sumption has been made by competent physicians, Peruna has permanently cured.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-07-23

We have testimonials from many people who have been given up to die of con- sumption. who claim to have been cured by Peruna.
 We do not recommend Peruna as con- sumption cure. but we do claim that 1t will prevent consumption If taken before the disease is thoroughly established.
 Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Initiated.
 Some things may be successfully imi- tated. but Peruna cannot be. Everyone purchasing Peruna should look out for limitations, Examine each package care- fully. If you have ever used Peruna or If you have ever tasted 1t. you are not in the slightest danger of being misled by these immitations, but all those beginning the use of Peruna should beware.

BLUEBEARD'S WIFE IS IN MONTGOMERY Mrs. Mart e. Tells of Her
 Marriage HE TOOK HER DIAMONDS Thinks Man in New York Charged With Killing Several Wives Is
 the Man She Mar
 ried.

Montgomery, July 22.-(Special.) )-Mrs. E. J. D. Martinez supposed to be the fourth wife of E. J. D. Martinez, alias Frederick E. Carlton. a modern Blue Beard in jail in New York for the murder of several wives, is living here. She is not sure the man in New York is the one she married, but thinks so To a re- porter she gave the following story of her marriage today:
 My maiden name was Etta Rowdon, and l was a widow, Mrs. Kingry when met Martinez. He was practicing medi- cine in Gordon, Ala, and had been for about two years. We were married and left on wedding trip to New York. We were there three weeks when Martinez told me that he was called to Brazil on important business to look after some of his property, and for me to walt for him. He took my diamonds, valued at s2000 and left the city. I waited some time ana received a letter from him telling me to go to Atlanta and some of his friends from Pensacola Fla, would look out for me until he returned. l went to Atlanta. but came on home to Gordon He wrote me in about six weeks, asking me to send him some money. but this l declined to do, telling him I did not have it. He came home one day and stated that he had walked from Savannah He had pre- viously sent his grip which had taken home. After this he left me again and I corresponded with him for about year."
 Stole Diamonds.
 Mrs Martinez said that he not only made away with her diamonds, but also got 800 of her money. She said that Martinez had $1700 in his pockets when they were married, and that she believes that he has plenty of money now. He is slick she states, that he will get out of his trouble.
 Mrs. Martinez has a boy 12 years old whose name Is Dowdon Kingry, and he Is employed at the Western Union tele- graph company. Speaking of him, she said:
 My son was taken sick at one time and my people became suspicious and took him away to their home. They be- lieved that Martinez was poisoning him to get the property belonging to the lit- tie fellow.''
 She stated that she had lived in Mont goniery a year and that she intended to make this place her home. As the re- porter was leaving she said: T wish they would bring him back. so I could get just one shot at him." and the little woman at this time looked like she meant every word she said.

 There are g thousand other ways in 1 which a cold can be caught during the summer time besides exposure during | sleep.

 Such cold is more apt to affect the lungs or kidneys than colds caught during the winter months.
 Depressing Effect of Hot Weather. The depressing influence of summer weather. together with the cold, results in greater depression than when the sys tenn Is invigorated by the cold, bracing weather of winter
 Therefore it is a recognized fact by many physicians that a summer cold Is by far the most dangerous.
 The Remedy That Cures.
 The moral of this is that at the slight est appearance of cold in summer. Peruna should be taken.
 There should be no 'let up in the use of Peruna until the cold has entirely dis appeared

By actual count there were ninety-eight country wagons on the public square at noon Saturday, and this was not an un- usual number for that day of the week. Many of them were loaded with melons, forage, wood fresh meat and vegetables; others were carrying out stock food, gro- ceries, furniture, farming tools and mer- chandse of every description. Some of these wagons were from a distance of twenty-five miles, It is obvious from this statement that the city yet has a fine agricultural trade.
 Saturday there was an ice famine in the city. The demand exceeded the sup ply. Neither love- money nor political in- f1uence could procure a chunk of con- gealed water big enough to cool tea. The kicking was tremendous. It was 96 de- grees Farenheit in every refrigator in town
