CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known -, grip
! used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but Is
more tenacious in Its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When It once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches It from the
atmosphere.
Most Effective Medicine Ever JrSeo
for La Grippe"
Robt. L. Madison, A. NJ, Principal OF
Cullowhee High School, Painter, Nc,
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board Of Education.
He is O writer of occasional verse and
has contributed to = number OF leading
papers and observation-disclosures, edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
al am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. tbs the most effective medi-
cine that have ever tried for la grippe.
alt also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
ain consequence, an inflamed condi-
ton OF the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until peruna was tried"
Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, IL there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous mem branes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
ing TO do this most people have found
Perupa to be invaluable.
Systemic catarrh, the Result OF La
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box Al,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"six years ago had Ia grippe, which
vas followed by systemic catarrh.
"The only thing l used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before. s&
81 give Peruna all the credit for my
good health" g..
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1907-03-06

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna ~ . remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long
tinued after-effects Of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, q course of Peruna
should be resorted to.
Suffered Twelve Years From After-
Effects Of La Grippe.
Mr.. Victor Patneaude, S2s Madison
St., Topeka, Kan, member of Knights
and Ladies of Security, writes:
Twelve years ago l had q severe At
tack Of Ia grippe and never really re-
covered my health and strength-but
grew weaker every year, until was
unable to work.

Proof Of Merit.

The proof OF the merits OF plaster Is
the cures it effects, and the voluntary tes-
timonials OF those who have used ALI
cocks Plasters during the past sixty years
is unimpeachable evidence of their su-
periority and should convince the most
skeptical. Self-praise is no recommends
used them are.
Allcock's are the original and genuine
porous plasters and have never been
equaled by those who have sought 70
trade upon their reputation by making
plasuers with holes in them. Avoid SUD
stitutes as you would counterfeit money.

SIDE LIGHTS
ON MICHIGAN
THE BINDER TWiNE SCRAP is BE.
COMING INTERESTING NOW.
PRISON MADE THE CAUSE
CAN THE STATE MAKE TWiNE IN
JACKSON PRISON? THE TRUST
FIGHT WAKES FIERCE.
The Petitions and Birds View.

The International Harvester Co will
have more battles To fight when the
binder twine question Is brought up.
The grangers are preparing 10 collect
petitions, and ii is said 100000 names
VIII be attached TO grange petitions
Tor the establishment OF such a plant
at jackson prison. These names Will
represent 100000 residents of the
state.
But this is only one issue which the
international must settle with the
grangers. The Agens bill OF the ses-
sion Of 1905, requiring instalment
sales 70 be recorded like chattel mort
Cages, has reappeaied in the hands of
Rep. Attridge. of Saniac, and it is
said the instalment sales of the Inter
national are the principal matters
which the bill seeks 10 regulate. The
bin was opposed and defeated two
years ago, largely through the efforts
of Detroit members, because install
ment furniture stores and other local
enterprises would be affected. Pro-
fessional men in the house opposed the
bill because it obliged purchasers to
record the buying of books by install
ments Yet with all this opposition
the bill nearly passed the last house.
Now all these minor obstacles are
to be removed. if some of tho projec-
tors of the bill have their way. and
the bill will be made to apply only to
agricultural implements and like sales.
The chief actor in such sales is the
International Harvester Co.
Atty. Gen. Bird has advised Gov.
Warner, it is reported, that his plan
to establish a binding Irvine plant at
the Jackson prison is not good policy,
In view of the prohibition in the con-
stitution against the teaching OF me-
chanical trades in the prison.
The supreme court ruled rightly on
that provision and ii is anticipated
that a judge would declare the making
of binding twine just as much of a
mechanical trade as broommaking.
which was ruled against There Is an
exception that Gov. Warner evidently
relies upon, however, which allows
the teaching OF trades in the manu-
facture OF those articles OF which the
chief supply for home consumption is
imported from other states or coun-
tries"
While this makes ii clear that there
Is no legal objection at present. it is
declared that at any moment such a
condition might appear that the pro
hibition would become operative and
render the plant valueless. This would
result from the establishment by
private corporation of factory in
Michigan that would bring the CHIEF
supply for home consumption within
the state.
II is limited that the binder twine
and harvester trust would be just the
one 10 do such thing. 1t hasn't done
so in other states. for Michigan is the
only one in the union having such a
constitutional provision.

come into common speech but has
Eeen the foundation of many other
words. A philologist traces to it the

Fencing has been very fruitful as a

counter" ITO be of ones guard"
From pugllism comes ITO toss up the

Cricket has given many .,hrases. OF
