ops, grows worse-the pain and dis tress is incessant and the truth dawns that we have chronic stom- ach trouble.
 The case of MT. Louis Young, 205 Merrfnac St., Rochester, N. T., is typioak He writes: T suffered for thirty years with chronic bowel trouble, stomach trouble and hem orrhages of the bowels. We bought a bottle of Peruna and I took it faithfully. I began to feel better. My wife persuaded me to continue and l did for some time as directed. Now l am well man." MT.

 If you suffer from catarrh in any form. whether of the head, stomach, bowels or any other part of the body, try Peruna. It may be just what you need. Peruna comes in either liquid or tablet form and is sold everywhere. Your dealer has it or will get it for you. Ask for pr. Hartrnan's World-Famous Pe- runa Tonic and insist upon having it. If you want your health accept nothing else.
 All the sick and suffering are in vited to write The Peruna Company, Dept. 78, Columbus, Ohio, for pr. Hartman's Health Book The book is free and may help you. Ask your dealer for a Peruna Almanac.

Mountain Fishing Good Now.

Fishermen returning from the
rcountains in the south of the county
report fishing good in the Desolation
country and on Camas, Gable and
Hidaway creeks. Several catches of
the limit are reported, although no
fish larger than 10 inches are taken.
The results in the Umatilla river have
been poor. however, and not until a
rain comes will the catch improve,
the sportsmen say. The river has
been overworked with anglers this
season, and this. coupled with the long
dry spell, has lessened possibilities of
II good catch.
