MFRS. EARNEST HOCHMUTH, I7O1
AV1 Maple St., Des Moines, Iowa,
writes: "Two years ago our Htfie boy,
Herman, was taken down with scarlet
fever. He took cold with ii, and liz
stead of the eruptions coming to the
surface they affected his lungs and
stomach. For weeks we watched by
his bedside, hardly expecting him to
live from one hour TO the next.
"Finally he became little better and
was able TO situp. Then he commenced
to cough, and in spite of every thing we
could do he seemed to get worse all the
slime. His coughing spells would last
until he was completely exhausted, and
his lungs hurt him a great deal. Every
body thought he had consumption.
stOnc day, while at the drug ORC, m y
husband saw Pcru1a almanac and
brought it home. We read in it per-
feet description of his case and we
thought we would try Peruna. We
bought bottle, quit everything else,
and began giving him Peruna.
"By the time two-thirds of the bottle
was used the cough had almost gone.
After be had taken two bottles he was
perfectly cured. He has not seen sick
lay since and is hearty, healthy boy.
"We shall always praise Peruna, for
{ saved our boys life"

Eleven Expected 20 Ne strong.
But Nebraska also Will put out a team
which will be one Of the best in the west.
Present prospects point to an eleven that
will be even stronger than the one last fall,
which won the championship OF the Mis-
souri, valley. King" Cole and all the Corn
huskers realize that Ames will be a hard
proposition. and they will be ready TO meet
them for the greatest battle Of the fall
The C~ornhuskers will not let the title to the
valley leadership go to Ames without the
hardest kind OF a fight. and the game on
November Z Is certain to be one Of the best
played in the west during the season Of
1903.
Some of the Nebraska players will begin
TO gather in Lincoln the latter part OF this
