Pe.ru.na for Colds and Catarrh.

The following Interesting letter gives
one young womans experience with
Peruna.
Miss Rose Gerbing, popular society
woman of Crown Point, Ind, writes:
Recently / took a long drive in the
country, and being too thinly clad 1
caught a bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which could not seem to
shake off. l had heard a great deal of
Peruna for colds and catarrh and ]
bought a bottle to try. l am pleased
that l did, for it brought speedy relief
IL only took about two bottles, and
consider this money well spent.
You have firm friend in me, and /
not only advise its use to my friends.

FOR CONSIDERATION
BY THE THOUGHTFUL.
A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.

During the early portion of Febru-
airy. of this year. the middle and
Western States suffered severely with
the intense cold and winters storms.
Trains were delayed, cattle suffered,
and there was much general hardship.
While this was the case, throughout
Western Canada, now attracting so
much attention, the weather was per-
feet.
One correspondent writes, I'VE are
enjoying most beautiful weather. the
gentlemen are going to church with
out top coats, while the ladies require
no heavier outer clothing than that
afforded by light jackets. In contrast
with this it is interesting to read in
st Paul paper of 18th February the
following, in double head lines, and
large bold-faced type:

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna nas found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic OF any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length Of time without ac-
quiring n drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any drugs of mar
cotic nature.

BRITT WINS IN THE ~
TWENTIETH ROUND

SAN FRANCISCO. May 6.--The
fight last night made James .. Britt
the champion lightweight pugilist q

White OF England. There was an IN

tory was loudly acclaimed by the pso-

Just as vociferously for the magnih-
cent fight ne made. All through the
fight the Engllshman showed that hs
was entitled to compete for champion
ship nonors.
White seemed to lack. however. ous
requisite for q CHAMPION good
knockout blow. He laid on BrittB
jaw many times. both right and left,
but apparently did not hurt the little
San Francisco bulldog. In the twelfth
round IL looked as II White had
chance. He landed vicious straight
right on Britt's jaw and an the latter
was on his balance he went TO the
| floor and rolled under the ropes. He
was not hurt, however. and came back
| fighting faster than ever Britt fore
ed matters all during the nght- He
paid particular attention to White's
stomach. occasionally swinging for
the Jaw. The Englishman's clever.
ness enabled him during most Of the
fight to block Britt's wicked punches
10 the stomach.
| During the latter part OF the ngnt
Britt used only nis left and his per-
sIstent care OF his right led the spec
tators to fear that he had damaged
IL. But his right was In good order
and he turned 1t loose In the 18th
round when he swung for Waites
stomach and Jaw.
Britt paid . tribute to White by
saying that he Is the cleverest boxer
In tne world. He stalled and block

ner that has never been done before" !"
said the champion.
The fight was by long odds tho
cleverest exhibition that has been
given in recent years In San Fran
cisco. Britt demonstrated what his
admirers have always claimed. that al
though ne is not n boxer he is hard
man to hit. II was hit and clinch and
break; then hit and clinch again.
The Californian took Whites punches
eagerly and landed harder ones In
return. The fury Of nis attack was
lrr4sistible. Whites magnificent
guard was beaten down. and then
+, came that dreadful semi-swing to the
Jaw that ended the nght and the
championship Of the world was held
in America. Britt. after the nght. de
clared his willingness to meet Bat
