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

THE disease now known as grip
i 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 1t 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 a writer of occasional verse ana
has contributed to q 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 med1-
cine that have ever tried for la 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 1nfamed condf-
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 mem branes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, il 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 to 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,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"Six years ago had la grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
''The only thing 1 used was Peruna
and Manalin, and have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.
81 give Peruns all the credit for my
good health"

YARMOUTH suit IN SECRET
Case Will Be Heard in Camera and
Law Forbids Publication.
Believed Earl viii Fight. as Loss of
Wife May Mean Loss of Mill
lion Dollars

! London, Jan. 4-The suit OF the Countess
of Yarmouth for the annulment of her
marriage viii be heard in Camera. None
of the proceedings will be published. To
print any would prove contempt of court.
The English newspapers go to surprising
lengths in publishing the details of di-
vOrce suits but this is a nullity suit, such
as is always heard in camera, as the Eng
lish law demands that such causes shall
be proved to exist before declaring a.
marriage null, as to render the publica-
ton of them impossible.
The Earl of Yarmouth is to contest the
suit instituted against him by his wife,
formerly Alice Thaw, for annulment of
their marriage, Announcement of his de-
cision comes from sources of which there
can be no doubt.
The impression in London is that the
husband would hardly fight the suit but
for his unwillingness TO lose the $1,000
900 included in the settlement. This money
must return 10 the Thaws in the event of
a decree multiplying the marriage The
countess 500, 600 personal income will also
be lost TO him. AS a compromise his Sl0.-
900 annuity will probably be ordered con-
tinued
The case will probably be delayed for
some time as it is number l56 on the list
and the hearing Of the first one will not
be begun until January L. Sir George
