A Good Appetite.

Peruna very promptly produces a
vigorous appetite. 1t is especially APP
plicable to those people who have lost
their relish for food. They get up in
the morning with coated tongue, and
do not care for breakfast They drag
along through the forenoon, sit down
to dinner with a languid appetite, or
perhaps a dfstaste for food. And so on
through the day.
Almost the first dose of Peruna will
help such people. They want to eat
at once. To their surprise, food sets
we'll on their stomach, and digests
we'll.
1t is a universal experience with Pc
runa that natural hunger is pro-
duced. Where there is loss of flesh
as the result of disease or fatigue, Pc
runa Immediately increases the weight
of the patient, good solid flesh.
One bottle is amply sufficient to con-
vince anybody that Peruna is an appe-
tier, prompt in action, harmless in
operation, and lasting in results.

Says Peruna Saved Her Life

Miss Ella L. Matthews, box III, Hill
City, Tenn, writes:
II find much pleasure in writing you
to let you know that I have been taxi
ing your wonderful tonic, Peruna.
From experience 1 have decided that
there could be no greater medicine In
the world than Peruna.
Several physicians had pronounced
my disease consumption. I had
been a sufferer for several years and
was growing weaker all the while, I'M
til l could hardly walk across my
room.
II was so fortunate as to get a Pc
runa book, and after reading it care
fully decided PeruDa was the remedy
for me, so 1 began taking it. Today
my health is better than IT has been
since had the measles ten years ago.
II can not express half the praise
which is due to DR.. Hartman for his
great and wonderful remedy and his
advice regarding health. 1 do not
think 1 would be living this present
day had it not been for Peruna-
81 am ever ready to praise Peruna
to my friends 1 have insisted on sew
eral persons trying Peruna and they
were greatly pleased with it. I keep
Peruna in my home, and when I feel
that it is necessary take it. If there
is anything 1, can do to assist you in
selling this wonderful medicine, Pc
runa, I would gladly do So"
In later letter Miss Matthews says:
"I regard Peruna as a very important
friend, and 1 can not say too many
words OF praise for Peruna-"

THE RESULT OF QUICKsAND.
An Engine Sinks While Making an
Experiment at Ilakin.

Lakin. Kan, March 30--As result of
Qufcksand on the bank Of Clear Lake
at Lakin a ninety horse power gasoline
engine dropped it's foundation into the
lake.
The United State Sugar & Land COM
pany were conducting an experiment on
Clear Lake southwest of Lakin for the
purpose of determining the amount of
the inflow and the volume of water that
could be made available for irrigating
when the bank on which an immense
gasoline engine had been anchored gave
way and 1T dropped Into the lake.
The pump had been set out in the
lake on a foundation and the power
furnished from the engine which stood
near the edge and pumping had been
going on for sometime before it was
noticed that it had commenced to sink.
The water which was being pumped in
to a lake some distance above found its
way back to its source through some
underground passage close to the sur
face and before steps could be taken to
strengthen the foundation under the
engine 1t had been entirely submerged.

Kidney and Bladder Trouble.

Mrs. jackson Hadley, Esopus, N. Y,
writes:
at is with the greatest pleasure I
write this. For years 1 have suffered
terribly with kidney and bladder
trouble. The pain in my back by spells
was so great I could scarcely stand on
my feet, and such terrible headache
and pain around my heart, and was so
nervous all the time that life seemed
a burden to me.
II paid out a great many dollars,
both for doctors and patent medicines,
and no benefit only for the time.
"One day, looking through a Pc
runa almanac. I saw how many had
been benefited by using Peruna. I at
once wrote DR.. Hartman and stated
my health. He promptly replied. I
followed his directions, and after
taking four bottles of Peruna can
stand on my feet and work all day
with comfort. The pain in my back
and head have entirely left me. and I
am not SO nervous and can say 1 am
completely cured from all kidney
frOnble."

night after a days work in the Office
and when 1 would very much liked to
rest; but I knew there was no rest in
summertime for the man who has dan
delions in his yard. I remembered one
day having heard that gasoline would
kill plant life, so I went to a drug
store and purchased a gallon of the
best gasoline I could get. It was of
the standard required by the law of
Oklahoma. I procured a pint spring.

candidate to get his name written into
the ballot in the city of Topeka, and
Hayden received one vote.
There were 3S4 votes cast in Topeka

piled up 40 votes for Anthony, the
the Sixth ward gave him votes. If
