CAUGHT BY THE Grip
RELEASED BY .PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrfl.

IT spares no class or nationality. The
l. cultured and the ignorant, the aris-
tocrat and the pauper, the masses and
the classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-al1 are liable.
Grip is well named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
''grip.D
Without intending to do so, new
word has been coined that exactly
describes the case. AS if some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the banefuI
grip of terrib BILE monster.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? If so, read the fol-
lowing letters.
These testimonials speak for them
selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in
cases of la grippe or Its after-effects:
A Preventive For Colds and La Grippe.
Mrs. NJ. Woodruff, 24O6 Central Ave.,
Minneapolis, Mimi, writes:
81 cannot praise your remedy too
highly. i first tried it after having la
grippe and for the last two years have
used it as a preventive for cold and
la grippe.
"As tonic 1 also believe 1t to be ex-
cellent. 1 never fail to recommend
Peruns to my friends, all Of whom have
used 1t with beneficial results"
A Rell tive of Abr aiiam Lincoln.
Mr.. Silas S. Lincoln, who resides at
91s street, n. W., Washington, D. c.,
has the honor of being third cousin to
Abraham Lincoln. He writes:
81 had la grippe five times before
using your medicine. Four years ago
I began the use of Peruna, since which
time I have not been troubled with that
disease.
81 can now do as much work at my
desk as I ever could in my life. L
have gained more than ten pounds in
weight"
Entirely Relieved by Peruna.
Mrs. Jane Gift, Hebbardsville, Ohio,
writes:
81 think would have been dead long
ago If 1t had not been for Peruna. Six
years ago had la grippe very bad.
''The doctor came to see me every
day, but gradually grew worse. I told
my husband wanted to try Peruna.
He went directly to the drug store and
got bottle of 1t.
az could see improvement in 8
very short time and was soon able to
do my own work. continued using 1t
until was entirely cured"

Mr. Fant an Honest Man.

Chief Constable FAINT seems nm hon
eat man and his honesty Ia brought
out all the moro clearly by the position
he occupies in connection with the
diapensary syA1e!n, iG which there an
pears to have been much rottepness
aud co5Iupticn., The experience Con
stable FAINT had with the higher ofii-
Gers OF the State, wherein they ignored
his charges Of orookedncss, was enough
to make a CRATER out Of any man of
lees honesty Of purpose and purity of
life. Ho could have put only one con :
struction on their conduct, and that,
they winked at the rottenness. Con-
stable FAINT might hove gathered from
this attitude OF the highest authori-
ties that his best course would be to
get out Of his position all there was in
it.
But, after this seeming license to
