although somewhat avcrse to patent
medicines, and still more averse to be-
coming professional affidavit man, it
seems only plain duty in the present
instance to add my experience to the
columns already written concerning the
curative powers Of Peruna.
~ have been particularly benefited
BY Its use for colds In the head and
throat. Ihave been able to fully cure
myself of most severe attack In
forty-eight hours by its use according
to directions. IuSe 1t as q preventive
whenever threatened with an attack.
"Members of my family also use it
for like ailments. We are recommend
Ing it to our friends."-C. w. Bowman.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in SO many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic of any kind. Itcan
be used any length Of time without ac-
quiring drug habit.
Address DR.. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio, for free medical advice. All cor
respondence held STRICTLY confiden tial
Revised Formula.-For number OF
years requests have come to me from
multitude of grateful friends urging
that Peru ma be given slight laxative
quality. l have been experimenting
with laxative addition for quite a
lengtn of time, and now feel gratified to
announce to the friends Of Pe-ru-na
that have incorporated such a quality
in the medicines which, in my opinion
can only enhance its well-known bene-
fetal character. S. B. HARTMAN.

Combining OF Two Cases Will Gut
Down Some Of Heavy Expense.
Special to Times Republican
Fort Dodge, April 1S.-The Meloy in
surance cases have been continued ov-
err until the next term of court. The
two cases against the Hartford Insur-
ance Company, Of Hartford, Wis, will
be combined and fought as one case,
thus cutting down some OF the heavy
expense.
The general feeling today is that
there will be some form OF agreement
made by which all the cases will be
dropped. The lawyers of the insur-
ance companies have met the lawyers
representing Furlong and Nfeloy. and 1t
is the opinion of many that the cases
will never be brought up again At
present the case against the Hartford
company is assigned as the second jury
case in the June term.

known a single case where saloon
had been run in strict accordance to
