The administrations crusade to

THE KIDNEYS are the main
| excretory organs of the body, the
blood in its circulation throughout
the tissues of your body gathers up

the lungs, skin and bowels assist
in the elimination of poisons the
kidneys are the main excretory
organs and cast oil a large amount

from the constant building up and
tearing down of the tissue cells.
Should the kidneys become weak
through lack of proper nerve slim
ulation or energy and be unable to
extract the waste or poiSonS from
the blood as it passes through
them, there would result an accum-
ulation of this matter throughout

bassy:
Along our line from the River

the actions in the Vosges region have
hsen notable for the great number of
casualties. The 112th and 142nd Ger

depleted after three days of fighting
that the two were combined in sim

of infantry numbers 5000 men.

ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Lfe-How He Escaped

We quote from another letter, dateE
December 10, 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November AZ
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintanceS
know that. 1 am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January IS.
1910, he says: II shall ever in tho
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to ala, suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September S, 1871
we quote few words: Il am stiu
among the living. AS to Peruna, I
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith 1 have in it's merits
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter. October
81, 1912. He says: II took a severe
cold three weeks ago. at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. 1 am now better. / consider
that Peruna has carried me over q
dozen years of life. / always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1918: Dear Friends: 4
wish this bright New Years to ex--
press my thanks to You for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, ana
that your medicine may prove a.
blessing to many as it has to me, 4
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts
Hartsell, Alabama, r. F. d. 2, Box
IT."
1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
uuence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

suffering. had tried the treatments
of several doctors, also home rem
edies, but they failed and all hope
had gone. My friends, like myself
thought I was in the last stages of
consumption.
"My daughter brought me a bottle
Of Peruna and plead with me to try
it. I had got so weak I had lost my
voice, and thought it no use. That
was in May, 1902. I began to take
it, according to directions. I wrote
to you, and you gave me your kind
advice.
II soon felt better, my cough began
to give way, and the expectoration
Iessened. I have taken fourteen bot
ties. I feel we'll, eat hearty, sleep
soundly, weigh as much as ever did,
do considerable work on my farm,
and attend to my other business.
MY friends seem astonished at my re-
covery.
IT wish to thank you for your kind
advice and the books you have sent
me. shall ever praise your medicine
and hope that you may enjoy a long
life"
It will be observed that Rev. Rob
erts waited two years after he began
to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruna Co. So
that his apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief.
In a later letter to The Peruna Co.,
dated September %, 1906. Rev. Rob-
erts says: 'T am a great friend or
Peruna. By the use of DR.. Hartman's
advice am here to-day, able to be
with my family and attend to my
business"
