BARABOO AND PORTAGE.


AS all knowEl Baraboo has far more
paved streets than Portage, cleaner
lawns and handsomer public build
ipgs. When it comes to selecting a
place in which to live Baraboo offers
aslower tax rate as will be seen by the
following:
Rate In Portage, $500 per 81, 900.
Rate in Baraboo, $19.O7 per 81 900.
The valuations of ALL taxable pro.
perty in the two cities is as follows:
Portage, $3.213, 1888.
3araboo, 5,23O,338
AS to the income tax paid by the
residents of the two cities, the follow
lowing is interesting:
Portage, S 2,225.46.
Baraboo, 12,755,08.
In search for arguments to in
duce people to come to Baraboo, the
local commercial association will do
we'll to point to--these figures.

the change in the formula Of Peruna
4 do not find it quite as useful to my
self. My bowels are naturally very
active. cannot take a catharttc or
any sort. It does me injury to do So
The old Peruna contained no cathart1c
ingredient and was therefore very
useful medicine to me. But / notice
that the new Peruna has slight lax
alive action, which almost makes 1t
prohibitory for me to use. I was Won
dering If there was not some way in
which I could obtain the old Peruna as
you used to make it."
To this letter I made the following
reply: eyes, the new Peruna does
contain a laxative element. You
should therefore take the old Peruna
GKa- tar-no) which has no laxative
Sauality. While prescribing the
old Peruna I found it quite
necessary frequently to prescribe the
laxative Manalin in connection with 1t.
Therefore Manalin was combined with
Peruna, in order to meet those cases
that require a laxative. But in case no
laxative is required the objection to
the new Peruna you speak OF
arises. Many Of the people
who used to take the old Peruna found
difficulty in taking the new Peruna
To meet those cases I am having man
ufactured the old Peruna under the
name Of Katarno, and If you are
anxious to get the old Peruna exactly
as it used to be made you can do So"
PERUNA IS FOR SALE AT ALL
DRUG STORES.
SPECIAL NOTTCE-M Many persons
are making inquiries for the old
time Peruna. To such would say,
this formula is now put out under the
name of KA-TAR-NO, manufactured
by KA-TAR-NO Company, Columbus,
Ohio. Write them and they will be
pleased to send you a free booklet.

courage and the ability TO bear tneF
hardships with more cheerfuness.
