WhatiSP e-ru-na?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic,
or is ii Both?

Some people call Peruna a great tonic Others refer to Peruna . a great
catarrh remedy
Which Of these people re rght' 1sit more proper to call Peruna a a.
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic?
Our reply H. that Peruna is both q tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh remedy that is not also q tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case Of catarrh, aremedy must not only
have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it
must have a general tonic action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, lisa weakened condi.
ton of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the
circulation, to give tone to tho arteries and to raise the vital force.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted 90 much attention
from medical writer's asHYDRAsT1s CAHADEHs1s. The wonderful efficacy
Of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in is hold
upon the medical profession. When Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA =
trio of medical agents is formed in Psruna which constitutes specific rom.
edy for catarrh that in the present state Of medical progress cannot b i'm.
proved upon. This action, reinforced BY such renowned tones as COLLIN.
SONIA CANADENS1S, CORYDAL1S FORM0SA and CEDRON SEED, ought
to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in auit' stages and locatons'
in the body. ~~
From a theoretical standpoint therefore, Peruna l. beyond criticism. The
use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numbereas testimonials from every
quarter of tho earth furnish ample evidence that this Judgment il not over
enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a wsllErounded theory the
result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

Democratic state convention to elect
delegates to the national convention
will assemble in ST. Paul next Thurs
day, May Ia, and instruct the Mime
sofa delegation to cast twenty-five
votes in the Denver gathering for the
nomination OF Gov. John A. Johnson
Of this state for the presidency.
Approximately 400 Bryan men, who
ton or who are contesting the seat
ing of Johnson delegates, will walk
out of the convention hall as soon as
the regular convention seats the John
son delegates from the contested dis
tricts and hold a boiling convention.
which will elect a solid Bryan delega-
ton to the Denver convention.

mise whereby the Bryan men would

The Johnson men admit that o n

ties, with a total Of t%hirty-five votes,

III votes: Ramsey county, with &c
votes, and St. Louis county, with 80
votes.
This is Just a scheme" said Frank
A. Day. chairman of the state com
mittee and secretary TO the governor.
The contests are not worthy of seri-
Gus consideration. Less than forty
men in Ramsey county held a conven-

gates to the state convention.
The Waseca county convention
contained fOrty-seven delegates for
Johnson and nineteen delegates for
Bryan, and yet a contest is entered
from that county. The Hennepin
convention was overwhelmingly in
our favor. Duluth. St. Louis county.
which was considered a Bryan strong
hold. elected an uncontested johnson
delegation"

On the other hand. S. A. StockweIl
Of Minneapolis said that the Ontes
from Hennepin county would be en-
tered because the credentials commit
tee in the county convention seated
Johnson men from three precincts,
though the evidence was conclusive

Republican votes.
We feel sure he said. that a
similar condition prevailed in many
other precincts. Democrats were out

hogs continue to take on flesh and

returns cash every day, and the poul-
try yard is the place where musical
notes are sounded There is an air of
independence everywhere, for the
reason that the man has nice home
and a big barn, does not owe a cent
TO his friends or foes, and has fair
bank account. The story of his sue
cess is more than that which goes
with the ordinary man of the farm.
Six years ago this little farm owner
left single mill, where he had been
employed for many months. His
savings amounted to $500 in cash
With that capital he purchased 20
acre tract of fertile bottom land. Ii
seemed too large for him, and one
half was given to relative Then
he began to improve the ten-acre
farm Today it is highly improved.
