N YOUNG girl, fifteen years old, had n an obstinate cough. which half d bottle of Peruna caused to disappear.
 As to myself, two bottles have con- vinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic.
 Before the treatment l could not walk for a quarter of an hour without experiencing much fatigue. Now 1 can walk a mile easily.
 Through these three cases we desire to make known to the public the ef- ficiency of your remedy.
 Hospital St. John, of St. Johns.
 Province of Quebec.
 A later letter received from the same institution reads as follows: THREE weeks ago l wrote to tell 4 you how satisfactory we found Pe- runa. We recommend it highly for colds, coughs, eatarrh and neuralgia.
 l have used it myself as a tonic with the best results, taken as directed, half teaspoonful every half hour. DERUNA not only promptly relieves I coughs and colds in their first stages, but is equally prompt and eff ficient for catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage. 1t is only reasonable to suppose that less medicine will be nee essary to cure a slight attack than af- ter it has been allowed to become chronic.
 Catarrh of the respiratory organs is a common ailment in Canada. There fore, when Peruna was discovered by Canadian people to be a reliable rem edy for these catarrhal diseases, it at once became popular medicine. .c Periina Almanac for 1912.

BLACKWELL WILL
 RUNFOR CONGRESS
Mayor of Decatur Will Op-
 pose Judge Richardson
BE A BATTLE ROYAL
In Interview Captain Blackwell Said. Il Am Candidate and I Am Co., ing to Win"-Almon of Tus-
 cumbia Declined to Run
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, January 6.-(SpeciaD. It is announced in Washington that Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur will probably oppose Congressman Richardson in the eighth district in the coming elections. Simultaneously with this comes the rn- nor that the prehbitionists will put up a candidate in every district of the state not already represented by a man who is favorable to the prohibitionists. That is to say that all congressman with the ex- ception of Burnett, Hobson. and Heflin will have prohibition opponents. It Is said to have been the plan of the prohi- bitionists to run F. B. Almon Of Tuscum- bia, against Richardson, but he has de- clned to make the race.
 The three candidates named who will probably not have prohibition opposition favored the adoption of the prohibition constitutional amendment and are there fore immune from opposition from this source. All others may have to face op- position. It has not been made clear that MT. Underwood is to be opposed.
 Decatur, January 6.-tSpeciaD .-Captain Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur, for mally announced today that he would be candidate for Congress from this con gressional district to oppose Judge Will liam Richardson of Huntsville for the democratic nomination.

 The present indications are that this is going to be d battle royal between Cap tain Blackwell and Judge Richardson and the people of this district may look for ward to some exciting politics in this
