DR.. Hartman Says:
Write to Peruna Testimonials II You
Want to Know the Truth.

The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:

medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing so. I am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them. so much controversy concern
ing them, l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.

would ask her whether she has been

whether her testimonial represents
the truth.

Is housewife, like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman of mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. l hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear Of the result / can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
l have thousands of them in my files.

Oregon Lad" to be Sent to Valley

Home of Famous Author.

One of Polk county's finest goats
will become the property of Jack
London on his Valley of the Moon
ranch as a result of his story "John
Barleycorn" which was printed re-
Gently in the Saturday Evening
Post. Jack London said in regard to
this story that from its proceeds he
intended to stock the Valley of the
Moon with the finest Angora goats
in the country. AS a result he sent
to Polk county to get the best breed
there is.
U. S. Grant will furnish London
with "Oregon Lad" sired by the fa-
NOUS South African buck "San-
ford. " "Sanford" is now in Texas.
His sire was imported from South
Africa and Sanford was born on the
trip to this country.
"Oregon Lad" will be one OF the
finest bucks on the coast. Mr.. Grant
is taking keen interest in Lon
don s experiment to make his Glen
Ellen ranch another goat paradise.
1t is a peculiarly strong compli-
ment for Polk county at the same
time. London has spent much of his
life rambling over the world and he
is familiar with practically all of its
hooks and corners AS result when
he wanted the best goats he knew
where to look for them.
