S@ Wnar people were
saying he was very quick and en-
phatfc in his denial Of any intent on
his part to create such an impression.
NO, said the Doctor, l do not claim
to have any magical cures. / do
not claim to have a cure for any
thing. Judging from the number of
letters I receive, however, concerning
Mrs, Eberlin's case, from people who
have similar complaints, I should
judge that catarrh of the lungs is
very prevalent. The number Of peo-
pie afflicted are increasing. In spite
OF the strenuous efforts of health
boards catarrh prevails more and
more every year.
No, I do not claim to have a mir
aeulous cure. l only reCite some Of
the things the people tell me who
take Pe-ru-na. The case Of Mrs.
Eberlein, for instance, She was ap-
parently dying of catarrh of the
lungs. Her physician had told her
die under similar conditions thought
her to be dying. She commenced
taking Pe-ru-na and recovered.
Now, I do not undertake to explain
her recovery. l certainly do not un-
iertake to say that Pe-ru-na will
cure anybody in the last stages of
cataTrh of the lungs. I make no such
claim. But l do undertake to say
this. AS long as here is life there
IS hope. The doctors are liable to
be mistaken. They often condemn
psople to die when they do not die.
They say, MRS. So-and-So cannot
live twenty-four hours" and then
Mrs. So-and-So gets well. They say.
"Mr. So-and-So has not a ghost Of
a%show Of living" but Mr.. So-and-SO
gets well. Now, what is it that cures
such cases?
Every doctor knows that it is the
vitality OF patient. The last
grain or vitality was not exhausted,
Just enough vitality left to make one
more struggle, and the disease was
overcome.
Now, it may happen that Pe-ru-na
is taken at the critical moment in

But these amounts car be largely

prove Of inestimable value to the

Mtnot, N. d, Dec. 10.-While j. A.
Wilbur. q young man hailing from
Two Harbors, Mimi, was employed on
a threshing crew in the vicinity of
Crosby some weeks ago. he planned
a little joke on the other members of
the crew, who were continually asking
him for a drink of whiskey. He dis
covered that a little burnt ~granulated
sugar mixed with water produced a
mixture which looked exactly like
whiskey, so taking a frying pan he
burnt a considerable quantity of sugar
and prepared several bottles of the
imitation whiskey. Whenever his
friends would ask him for a drink he
would hand them the bottle contain

ing a week or ten days longer in order
to get enough to buy a ticket and get
home for Christmas. A heavy snow
storm, however, spoiled his plans; the
threshing crew was discharged, and
Wilbur was out of work and incident
ally out of funds. l#..
1t occurred to him If his own whis-

might be able to sell enough of the
imitation to pay his way home, SO he
manufactured some two dozen bottles
of the product and went to Kenmare.
Reaching one of the hotels there, an
employee of the hotel remarked to Will
bur that 1t was impossible for him to
get any whiskey as he had already
registered at two of the drug stores
and knew they wouldn't let him have
any at any of the other places. He
asked Wilbur to go u and get some,
whereupon the young man produced a
bottle of his own product and vas Of
fered so cents for it. Taking the
money he left the hotel and went to
the depot intending to buy about fifty
cents worth Of transportation on the
500 line.
In the meantime, however, WiIbur's
customer tasted the whiskey and dis
covered that he had been fooled, so
went out and swore out q, warrant for
his arrest on a charge of selling in
~toxicating liquor. Wilbur was arrested
and taken, before a justice and bound
over to the county court and sent to
this city. It didn't occur to the Ken
mare officials to taste the confiscated
whiskey, and as the young man liked
the idea of a free trip to Minot he did
not offer any objections to being bound
over. r ...
When he reached Minot, he signiied
his desire to enter a plea of guilty. He
explained what he had done as his
product was n-intoxicating they
couldn't hold him on that charge. AS
his Kenmare customer vas himself VIZ
olating a law when he asked Wilbur to
get the whiskey for him, 1t was impos-
sible for Wilbur to be held on any
charge. He appeared before Judge
Davis, who, after giving the young
man a severe lecture, discharged him
from custody. Wilbur wired home for
money and left for Two Harbors this
afternoon. " s"

have been such as to arouse the sus-

when the officials heard that he was

they took it for granted that the

stolen horses and that Sears stole
them, however. is doubtful. AT any
rate they had but little proof to offer
