DON'T NEGLECT A COLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops.

Nine cases OF consumption ont OF ten
occur in this way:
A person catches cold. The cold IL not
properly cured, and another cold is
caught.
This cold is dnly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is Intellectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold is caught and a
cough develops. Cough syrup7 are re-
sorted 70, but they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient gets tired 81
taking medicines aud cough syrup- and
gives up IN despair.
The cold continues to develop and ne
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient is in thc inst
stages of consumption.
1t was just in This way that Miss
Powell, Of Aurora, Ind, became SICK.
She caught a cold. and not considering
it serious. neglected it, thinking as
nvothers do, thatitwould "wear oi.'
However, it clung TO her tenaciou-iy,
and in two weeks she found her health
in n serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had been brought
10 her notice. and she took course OF
this remedy before il was too late.
In a week the cough and cold were
broken. and a three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have similar experience with Peruna'
Cure the Slight Colds and avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
a cold. Thenext stepis failure TO cure
if PROMPTLY. The third step Is the de-
velopment Of catarrh, which gradually
beeomes chronic. The fourth step, the
eatarrh begins to spread fFom the head
to the throat, then TO the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. 1t Is
then consumption in the first stage.
Atanv time during the progress OF ca
tarrh, from the first onset Of the cold to
its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
If you have taken a cold, buy Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
Thousands of Testimonials.
We have on file thousands Of testi'
monials from people who have been
cured Of catarrh Of the lungs by Peruna.
We can give our readers only slight
glimpse Of the vast array Of unsolicited
endorsements we are receiving every
month. Noother physician in the world

siastic letters Of thanks IS DR.. Hartman

The mayor said that the local law

said It would be enforced-the mayor
declared it would take about six

This was because Of the very rev

by acting in foreign language. This
is Sarah Barnhardt.
With all the praise that Rajane had
on her two visits here, she never once
drew for Abbey & Grau the fee they
paid her, and on her last visit she is
said to have lost upward of $4,000
for her managers, although she made
plenty of money for herself. If, on
the other hand, she had played in Eng
.lish and with an English company,
she would have made great deal of
money.
So, if the beauties of the Paris
stage-Bartet, Brandes, Hading Sorel,
Gerard Yahne, Segond-Weber, La
VALERIE, Jane Granier-came over
here and acted in English there would
be money in it for them and their
managers. There would be as much
interest in the German and Italian
actresses, although they are fewer
in number and not SO noted or ct

gingerly over the loose rock and earth

While she looked on he would fight to

Winton stood out on the edge of the
cutting, a solitary figure where a few
minutes before the earth had been
flying from a hundred shovels.
The sheriff's reply was an order, but
not for retreat.
Hes one of the men we want;

ginia caught her breath. Was she to
see him shot down before her eyes?
Happily the tragedy was only poten-
tial. Unless the public occasion APP
peals strongly to the sympathies or
the passions, pickedup sheriff s
posse is not likely to have very good
metal in 1t. Winton was covered by
three or four of the guns, pointed awk-

Winton held his ground, waiting the

failure. Being something less than
