CAUGHT BY THE Grip
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
la Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known as grip
L used 10 be called influenza
livery closely resembles a cold, but Is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip Is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When II once begins Il 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 Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. l.. Madison, A. NJ, Principal of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, n. c.,
IS chairman OF the Jackson County
Board OF Education.
He Is n writer of occasional verse and
has contributed 10 a number OF leading
papers and neutrality-suspicious. edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking OF PerunA, Mr.. Madison
says:
81 am hardly ever without Peruna I'm
my home. Its 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 infiamed condI-
tion of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
70 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 a
normal state, are an efrectual barrier
against the invasion OF grip.
But, II there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey 10 the grip.
This IN part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing 10 do Is 20 keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing 10 do this most people have found
Peruna 10 be invaluable.
Systemic catarrh. the Result OF la
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box a.,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"Six years ago had Ia grippe, which
was followed by systemic cAtarrh.
"The only thing used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been In better
health the last three years than for
years before.

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,
DIR. 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 as n remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
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, a course OF Peruna
should be resorted to.

GROWING RUTAeAGAS.
What One Farmer in the Northwest
Has Seen Allie to Do.

Root growing has been successfully
practiced by Thomas A. May of Lari
more, N. ID. In 1905 he grew six acres
Of rutabagas and harvested about 5000
bushels reports Prof Thomas Shaw
in Orange Judd Farmer. His land is
loan, but has in 1t a little sand He
grows millet before the root crop.
This aids in cleaning the land. Then
as soon as the crop is removed he
plows the land lightly. This is to bury
weeds. Then he puts on 80 loads OF
farm manure per acre. This is plowed
down in the spring as soon as the
grain Is sown. The ground is thor
oughly pulverized on the surface. 1t
is then made into raised drills by
using double mold-board plow and
marker The rows are made about 80
inches apart Late in May or early in
June the seed is sown in the raised
drills by using a turnip drill drawn by
one horse, which sows two rows every
round. A little roller attached to the
drill covers tho seed and firms the
ground. The crop is kept clean by
horse and hand cultivation When
harvest time comes the tops are re.
moved with 4 hoe and the turnips
pulled out Of the ground by running
a harrow over them.
Mr., May has succeeded in getting
great crops Of wheat after turnips. In
1905 he grew nearly ~ bushels of
bluestem wheat rcr acre from six
acres. The average in the neighbor-
hood was 10 bushels. OF course. this
may not follow on all soils, but on his
lands he gets his best wheat after
roots, the ground having been thus
manured before the roots are sown.
He has fine herd of cattle and he
finds what everyone else has found
who raises roots, that they are a
grand food for calves and, indeed, for
any class of cattle in the winter sea.

soft Corn Poor Horse Feed.

There has been an uncommon ia
tality among colts this spring, ana
horsemen have not found the cause
of the trouble. In discussing this
matter with prominent farmer a few
days ago, he attributed the while
trouble TO feeding soft and moldy corn
to the mares. 1t is a well-known
fact that moldy grain and hay will
sometimes cause abortion, says Farm
ers' Voice. While this immature corn
was frozen 1t could be fed to all kinds
of stock without much danger, but as
soon as warmer weather came on ald
the corn thawed out, then the trouble
began. 1t is rather late now TO head
of the trouble, but the lesson is well
worth remembering when another sea,
son OF soft corn comes around.
