FLEES CALL TO PREACH
 AND IS PURSUED TO DEATH

Florence, July .-(Speclal. )-The unusually large snake crop this season brings to mind the remarkable story of Fenuel Posey a blacksmith, who died, as he believed, because, like Jonah, he refused to listen to the call of the Almighty, who commanded him to preach the cospel.
 Posey was an illiterate man and be- Iieved with superstitious fervor that, like Saul, he had seen light and heard a still small voice." and so disturbed was he that he abandoned his bellows and forge and tried to quiet his restless conscience on a small farm; but scarce ly had the first seed sprouted before he was bitten twice by snakes.
 Without waiting to sultivate his crop Posey went to Birmingham, where he again took up his trade of black smithing, thinking to put himself be- yond the reach of the reptiles foi which he was beginning to have nor bid dread. He had scarcely settled him self In his new home before he was called upon one night to entertain an old friend and going Into the loft for a bundle of fodder for the latter's horse he was bitten by a snake which had wrapped itself about the fodder.
 Posey's superstition had now brought him to the point where he felt there was no use to flee the wrath of the Lord. which could search him out of secret places, so he journeyed back to his farm, twenty five miles south of Iuka, Miss, where at the end of two years he died in agony from the effects of his eighth snake bite.
 A month before his death Posey drove Into Iuka for a marriage license and exhibited to his friends his arms and portions of his body, which were puffed up and black and blue from t'e poison of the reptiles.
 He was wedding his watermelon patch when he got the eighth and fatal bite; after cutting away most of the weeds he took hold of one too near the vine to cut and was pulling 1t up, when a snake that was wound around it bit him on the arm. He was inn

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
 for C6tarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc. tuna be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one ofthem was ofun- aoubted value in chronic catarrhal dis sases, and had stood the test of many Fears' experience in the treatment of mch diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT, EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most eficacious and universally used herbas remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient 3fPeruna has reputation of its own m the cure of some phase of catarrh.
 Peruna brings to the home the CON- BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat. hent of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowl- .dge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last butnotleast, brings to the home the vast ind varied experience of Dr. Hartman, ntheuse of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
 The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis. base which is very prevalent. Many Thousand people know they have bhronic catarTh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been old that their case is one of chronic iatarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal ,rgan. There is no doubt as to the na. ure of the disease. The only trouble B the remedy. This doctor has tried to Dure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them.
 BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF.
 Dr. Hartman's idea is that catarrh emedy can be made on a large scale, ls he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of he strictest uniformity. His idea is hat this remedy can besupplied direct gto the people, and no more be charged pr it than is necessary for the handling oft.
 No other household remedy so uni. lersally advertised carries upon the abel the principal active constituents lowing that Peruna invites the full Inspection of the critics.
