l had Catarrh of Throat
 and Nose

Mrs. Elin Malmgren, 133 Frederick St.. West Manchester. N. H., writes: "Ev- cry spring and fall for eleven years I have been troubled with catarrh in my throat and nose and hoarseness, and am very pleased to state that at last I found a medicine. Peruna, from which received great benefit. and 1 will here after use and recommend it. I always keep it in my house in case tf- sickness.
 Remedy for Colds
 q recommend your medicine to all my friends and every sufferer. as an excel lent medicine for colds and for building up strength.
 Some good women oppose Peruna. This is because they know nothing about Pe- Tuna. They have never used it them selves. They have never used it in their families. They have only heard about Peruna. Perhaps heard only what unkind critics say about Peruna. Naturally enough, such women might oppose Pe- runa
 Some Women Praise Peruna
 It is safe to say that every woman who has given Peruna square deal believes in Peruna. The above is a good sample of thousands of women who believe in Peruna and use it in their homes.
 Mathi1da Koch. Box go, Colgate. NId writes: 'I cannot speak too highly of Peruna as a medicine. I was subject to catarrh of the head and throat until I tried Peruna. After taking eight bottles Peruna cured me. It also acts as a spe- cial preventative of throat difficulties It keeps me in fine health, and I value its fine qualities very much"

Doctors Insist On Opera.
 tion-Not Necessary

l want to write and tell you what your Swamp-Root has done for me. During the years of 1906 and 1907 I was troubled with what the physicians pronounced Gravel of tho Kidney" l was under the care of one physician for six months and two months with another without securing relief or cure. The physicians would be the only thing that would help me. My wife being bitterly opposed 10 an opera ton I did not consent, but con- tinned under their treatment for some time. When I was most discouraged, be- leving that my end was near, l heard of Dr. Kimers Swamp-Roo and at once began taking your medicine and noticed almost immediately that the medicine was having its effect. After taking seven bottles of your Swamp Root I was en- tirely cured and have not had a sick spell for over a year.
 When a person has been flat on his back for six months. suffering untold agony and spent considerable money with physicians without any benefit and then to be cured at an expense of not over $500, you can well understand how grateful feel toward you and your prep sration. In appreciation for what your remedy has done for me, I am willing that you use this letter as testimonial Very respectfully yours.

Potato Prices.

From all the information obtain
able on the question, and having in
mind the government forecast for
August that the crop of 1915 in tbs
country is larger by several millions
than last year, the indications poim
toward a greatly decreased yield iii
Maine, and also in the great potato
producing state of New York. The
fact that hundreds of acres of pota-
toes in New York State have been
under water. caused by heavy rainA.
that it has been practically impossi-
BILE to hoe or spray the crop; that
rust has appeared in various sec
tons, particularly in Aroostook, points
toward a crop far short of last season.
And consequently the Republican pre-
diets good price for our stock before
spring.
The local market. through the dig
ging season particularly. may not soar
to any fancy price. But, later on. we
venture the assertion that those who
are fortunate enough to have good
yield, will receive good money-mak-
ing price.-Aroostook Republican,

come entangled in one of his nets Sat
urday afternoon, Ross Googins, a
Prout's Neck fisherman, nearly lost
his life in the struggle. The fisherman
with two helpers went to the place
where the net had been lowered Sat-
urday afternoon to collect his catch.
To his surprise and dismay. he found
that his catch of butter fish, worth per-
haps about $40, had been liberated
and that a huge shark had become en-
tangled in the net and had nearly torn
it to shreds in his efforts to escape.
When the men pulled the great fish to-
ward the boat, it put up such a fight
that the boat was nearly capsized and
the three were nearly thrown head
long into the water. The shark was
finally killed, however, when Googins
got busy with an oar. and the dead
fish was put into the boat and carried
ashore. When weighed the fish tip
