An Enemy to the Home.

~ ATARRH is the natural climatic en-
~ envy of every home.
over every home hangs the inevitable
Certainty OF catarrhal invasion.
No home is entirely free from it, Every
person is subject to II.
II would be no exaggeration to say that
two-thirds of the homes Of America have
suffered more or less from this invisible,
almost omnipresent enemy, catarrh.
Peruna is the natural protection of the
household.
II is intended to relieve catarrh and ca
tarrhal diseases in any and all of their
phases.

Your medicine is a safeguard against
colds, for I have given II to my children
and they are In the best of health.
MY little daughter. Catherine the one
you have been treating. has such an APP
petite that I enjoy watching her eat
Before taking your treatment she would
eat scarcely anything. I can never be

The Many Phases of Catarrh.
Catarrh may appear in the household
in the form of slight cold or cough. an
attack of la grippe. or even hay fever.
Peruna meets these invasions squarely
and repulses the enemy before it gains a
foothold.
Therefore, Peruna is a household rem
edy. Used at the correct time IT often
obviates the necessity of continued
doctoring
Perhaps i'm no other way can the wis
dom of economy and foresight be so for
chilly expressed as in keeping on hand a
bottle of Peruna to protect the various
members of the family against the en-
croachments Of catarrh.
We have on file thousands OF testimonials
from heads of families, located north and

These letters praise Peruna for its eff

telegram - Tracey p. Sykes. one of
Adams county's best known farmers. Who
resided four miles southeast of Hastings,
committed suicide at o'clock this morn
ing by shooting himself through the head
with a twenty-five caliber rife. No motive
is known for the deed.
Mr.. Sykes arose early this morning. as
usual, and going down to the paror. wrote
the following note:
Don't blame me for this I could not help
II, Good bye to everybody, my family and
II appears that as soon as he finished
writing he laid the note on the table, took
the rife from behind the door and de
liberately shot himself through the right
temple. His wife, nearing the noise, rushed
down stairs and found her husband lying
on the dning-room floor In a pool of blood.
A physician was called but Mr.. Sykes
never regained consciousness
At the coroner's inquest verdict was
rendered to the effect that the deceased
came to his death at his own hands.

FOOD
NOT MEDICINE.

II all the treatments for
consumption we're put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm
provement over the old treat
ment of rest fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tient to make that gain. Peo-
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion-it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen SCOTS
Emulsion take hold of a pa
tient and bring about a
change for the better inside
of a week. 1t always helps
even the most stubborn cases.
