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

THE disease now known as grip
J. 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 Tried
fa~ Jrlppc.'
Robt. L.. M IN, A. M, Principal OF
Cnllowhee Ign School, Painter, N. c.,
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He is writer Of occasional verse and
has contributed to number of leading
papers and neutrality-suspicious., edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
81 am hardly ever without .Peruna IN
my home. 1t is the most effective medl-
cine that have ever tried for Ia grippe.
at 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.
"In consequence, an infamed 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 a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, if there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous membranes, 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 10 keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be Invaluable.
Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, Box A,
rvL;to Nol, Ind Tor formerlv 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 Pofuna
and Manalin, and have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.

good health"

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 as 3 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, q course OF Peruna
should be resorted to.

"Well," said the editor, "just tell

RIKER SEIZED THE ANIMAL BY THE THROAT

I interfered with the movements Of the
dog. It gave the sick man the idea
and his presence of mind did the rest
He forced the head Of the dog into the
mass of bedclothes, and between the
beasts efforts to free himself and Mr.
Riker's to choke him the animals head
became thoroughly enmeshed in the
blanket.
In an instant the sick man had wounC
the blanket about the dog. Too weal
to hold him longer, Mr.. Riker, no longer
fearing his fangs, rolled on top Of him
The struggle to hold the brute had tot

the advantage he tainted.
1t was some hours later when the
mother came into the room to give the
patient his medicine. She found hiir
lying across the bed, with the body Of
the dog beneath him.

was pursued through a dense forest by
a desperate band Of brigands. She re-
tired in the full tide Of excitement
aroused by the thrilling tale, and as
soon as she went to sleep she began to
dream the story. with herself as the
central figure. The dream bandits
chased her until they became to her
subconscious mind so real that she got
out Of bed and ran to escape them.
The cold air and the hard road failed
to awaken her.
She said that she finally seemed to
become exhausted and sank down to
accept her fate, which was being car
ried away by the bandits.
The latter part of the dream is
thought to have been caused by Mr..
NARROW picking her up and carrying
her to his home.

CAPTAIN JOHN CROW
is HAILED INTO COURT

Captain John Grow, of the towboat
Sprague. will have to face a charge at
Owensboro next Monday in federal
court for interfering with a United
States officer in discharge Of his duty.
About six weeks ago Elwood Neel,
deputy United States marshal, had a
warrant for the arrest of Mate Bill
Coulter, of the Sprague, on the
charge of cutting one of the work
men on the boat. When the giant
towboat passed down the Ohio, Mar
Ishal Neel was taken out to the
ISprague on board the Fannie Wal
lace. When Mr.. Neel told Captain
Crow his errand the captain positively
refused 10 allow the marshal to take
his man. Finally after a great dea
of talking the captain of the Spragu'
allowed Captain NJ n. Mullen, of the
Fannie Wallace, to take Mate Coul
ter, but said he did not want Mr.. Nee
to have anything to do with the ar
rest of the mate. When Mr.. Nee
told how the captain of the Spragu'
had interfered a warrant was sworr
out for Captain row.
Marshal Neel and Captain NJ. n
Mullen will go to Owensboro to ap
pear Monday. Mr.. Harry Blackfort
was witness to the whole affair ant
1t is probable that he will be sum
moned as a witness
