elope with him, Johnson escaped to
the hills followed by a posse number
ing 400 Barricading himself in an
old barn Johnson defied arrest for
two days, and in that time shot and
seriously wounded three of the posse.

"Peruna is certainly valuable nerve
and blood remedy, calculated to build
up the broken-down health Of WORKOUT

perience that it acts as wonderful re-
storer of lost strength, assisting the
stomach TO assimilate and digest the
food, and building up WORKOUT tissues.
In my work 1 have had occasion to
recommend it freely, especially to
women.

build up the strength of a young mother,
In fact all the ailments peculiar 10
women, so I am pleased to give 1t my
