spring weather. This renders medi-
cines more effective.
A short course of Peruna, assisted by
the balmy air Of spring, will often re-
lieve old, stubborn cases of catarrh that
have resisted treatment for years.
A Word of Advice.
To those who have been afflicted with
chronic catarrh we wish to say that the
spring season affords You splendid OPP
portunity to get rid of your disease.
1t may be you have been afflicted for
several years; you may have tried diff
ferent remedies. Perhaps you have be-
come discouraged.
Now Is Your Opportunity.
This failure was during the winter
months. But now is your opportunity.
Nature comes to your assistance at this
season.
Just help her little and she will
bring you out of the quagmire in which
you have been floundering so long. Give
Nature little assistance, lest her strug-
Giles be in vain

A Typical Case.

A Typical Case.
Geo. M. Fillmore, formerly Is. Lieut.. 3rd
U. S. Artillery, writes from 900 l. St., N.
W., Washington, d. c., as follows:
81 brought forward from winter into
spring q sickening case of catarrh which
was making existence miserable for me,
until 1 was induced to try bottle OF
Peruna.
"An immediate improvement gave me
hope, if not relief. kept up taking Pc
runa and it has so strengthened and re-
lieved me that 1 am now confident of q
cure. 1 heartily endorse Peruna for ca
tarrhal affections and as a tonic for their
weak ening effects" Geo. M. Fillmore.
A short course of Peruna now will
be just In time. During the month of
April you viii find the strategic time to
rid yourself of chronic catarrh, one of
the most persistent, stubborn diseases
In the whole list of human ailments.
After you have tried it you will say
Peruna is positively tho best spring

Do Not Delay.

Get bottle Of Peruna when the first
languid feelings make themselves ap-
parent in the spring. Take it according
to the directions on the bottle. Con-
tinue this treatment through the first
months of spring
This course of treatment Is no expert
ment. 1t has helped thousands. Why
should it not help you?

The Correct Remedy.

Peruna meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculisrities. Peruna
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and procures regular sleep.

A Spring Tonic.

Almost every body needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question. Everyone who has
tried 1t has had the same experience as

A great many years Of extensive trials
of this remedy in this class Of derange-
ments have demonstrated its efficiency.
Numerous Testimonials.
Thousands of cases might be quoted
in which Peruna has rescued people
from the ravages of spring catarrh, and
put them on good, solid foundation Of
health.
We can give our readers only slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
endorsements DIR. Hartman is con-

in the world has received such volume
Of enthusiastic letters of thanks.
II you do not derive prompt and satis-

write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving o
full statement Of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-

Spring Cafarrh.

Spring Cafarrh.
Almost every one has come to believe
that spring is q season that brings de-
rangements of the body dependent on
blood impurities.
This belief is an old one, is nearly uni
versal, and has arisen, not rs the result
OF the teachings of the medical frater-
nifty, but has been learned In the bitter
school of experience.
Nervous Depression.
Depression of the nervous system at
the approach OF spring is fertile source
OF blood impurities.
There are general lassitude, dull,
heavy sensations, continual tired feel
tngs, with irregular appetite, and some
times loss Of sleep.
That Tired Feeling.
That tired feeling, which Is the nat
urai result OF the depressing effect Of
warm weather Immediately after the
lnvigorating cold of winter, quickly
disappears when Peruna is taken.

Mr.. q. Craig, a well-known athlete, whose home
address is Bridgeton, n. j., writes from the Hotel
Donavin, Delaware, Ohio as follows:
~ say of Peruna that a tonic for the spring
of the year. 1T is the best for athletes, and such
can give it hearty recommendation"
Peruna does not fail to prevent the lassitude and
languor incident to the approach of warm weather,
If taken in time.

biliousness.
"These symptoms manifested them
selves mostly in the spring and fall.
al suffered this way for about seven
years.
LAST spring I began using Peruna
and followed the Instructions as set
forth In one of Dr. Harfman's book
lets which I picked up In a drug store
and to my great Joy noticed that
within a week was nearly cured.
"At the end Of two months was en-
tirely cured and feel as though have q
new lease of life."

0'NEIL TALKS POLITICS.
The Popular Senator From Shoshone
has Conservative Views.

Senator B. +. O'Neil of Shoshone
county has been interviewed by the
Wallace Press and gives his views
upon the political situation in
Idaho. Senator O'Neil is one of
the strong men of this state. He
is a man OF affairs and is power
In the financial world as we'll as in
politics. His name has been prom
inently mentioned in connection
with the nomination for Governor,
but Mr.. O'Neil has now allowed
these complimentary notices to
turn his head. He sees that Gov.
Gooding is the logical candidate of
the party this year, and being
young man he can afford to wait.
At the expiration OF Governor
Gooding's second term the Gov
ernership may come north, and
that will be Mr.. O'Neil's oppor-
tunity. He is very popular through
out the north. While his leanings
are towards the Insurgents" he is
too shrcwd to commit political
suicide by committing himself to
the "Insurgent" program. The
