people against patent medicines that 1t
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such Il remedy
at first.
In nearly every one of the thousands
of remarkable cures that Peruna has
made the patients had TO bc persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside theirprejudice against it..
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 off their prejudice and try Peruna
before it 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 catatrh of the head. They
allow catarrh of the head to gradually
become catarrh of The throat.
They still use the doctors medicine or
some other Intellectual remedy. The
catarrh stealthily spreads down the
bronchial tubes and reaches the lungs.
Then they become alarmed. Faith
in the doctor begins to disappear.

Northwestern Passenger Train No. 504
had rather a narrow escape from being
ditched into ravine from railroad
trestle crossing a dry run about four
miles west of Walnut Grove on Sunday
morning about two o'clock. The train
was speeding east and had nearly reach
ed the trestle, when the wave of Ian
tern was seen ahead and the engineer
brought the train to halt, as the loco
motive was about to move upon the
bridge. The man who tagged the train
was a neighboring farmer by the name
of Foster.
A number of the crew investigated
the trouble and perceived two horses
and wagon stranded near the farther
end of the bridge. Their bodies rested
upon the ties, but their legs protruded
down below them
The team and wagon belonged to an
other farmer, who, not long before,
had attempted to drive in the dark across
the trestle. He was decidedly under the
influence of liquor, and as he drove
along the track, thought little or moth
ing of the bridge ahead of him, or of the
train that was going to approach behind
him. The team had almost succeeded

of the horses made misstep, and fell,

be highly commended.
