NATARRH of the respiratory organs
~ is a common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds Of the year. :.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these Institutions is that Of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
Having used Peruna for tire past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that II has given US great
satisfaction.

After continued use Of the remedy
this institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses its satisfaction in the fol-
lowing terms:

TEAM is MISSING.
Gardiner Livery Man Thinks He Has
Been Imposed Upon.

r. D. Tasker. a Gardiner livery sta
blekeeper, thinks he has been imposed
upon by d smooth tongued stranger,
who hired rig at his livery stable
Monday night and fears very much
that he is out the price of the rig.
About o'clock Monday night a man
about As years Of age and feet 3
inches tail. who gave his name as AL
bert Glidden, hired team of Mr.. Tas-
ker .lnl said that he wished to go to
Cooper's Mills to see his father, who
he claimed was seriously ILL., He said
that he would either return the team
Tuesday night or telephone in regard
to it. The man was of sandy complex
ion and wore over an ordinary suit q
light overcOat and soft hat. In fact,
he was SO thnly clad that Mr.. Tasker,
fearing he might be cold before he
came to the end of his ride. loaned him
a heavy overcoat for which the man
aDpeared to be very grateful and
thanked him profusely. The horse
which the man hired was a black horse
of small build with the hind feet con-
sidcrably enlarged and the ankle of
one hind foot distinctly marked with
white. The animal had a strap around
and while not a horse of great value
was of much use as livery stable
horse. since he was a good roader ana
could be depended upon to stand any
where and was not frightened OF au-
olnobles or electrics. He was attached
to a Portland wagon. which was near
ly new. but had no name on the plate.
The harness was ruDbef-triiiiiheu
harness. There were two cOnslGefapiE
worn robes in the wagon
Shortly after the man drove out OF
the stable Mr.. Tasker began to reflect
unon tho story which the stranger had
told him and the more he reflected up
on the story the more he didn't like
it. Tuesday passed, the horse and the
stranger did not return. nor did Mr..
TaSSnr rnr"iv" any telephone mes
sage in r.sdl,i To the matter Early
Yesterday morning he did som" tele-
nhoninc to Cooper's Mills on his own
account and learned that no rig an
styeriny to the description of the one
he had let had been seen in that VI
cinity and he also discovered that so
far as his informant knew there were
no partes by the name of Glidden I'D
Cooper's Mills.
Denutv Sheriff Burns is working on
the case but to date neither he nor Mr..
rasker have received any information
ia regard to the missing team Both
man and team seem to nave uisap-
reared after leaving the livery stanle
