WHEN TOM JOHN
BROKE HIS LEG
After Getting His Feet Wet, He
Stuck His Leg Into a Steamboat
Engine When He Was
Young and Foolish.

Thomas John got off the Plough
Boy, the chief means of travel be-
tween Keokuk and Warsaw and old
enough to spell plough that way, and
got his feet wet while the boat was
lying at Taber's mill.
The Warsaw Bulletin gets the
news via its issue Of October Z. 1882,
about thirty-siX years ago. and says
Thomas was seventeen years old at
the time. 1t also narrates how the
youth went to the engine room OF
the boat to dry his feet, stuck his
leg down into the engine pit had his
trousers caught by the moving ma
ohinery. and had his leg broken in
three places before the engines could
be- stopped.
The Warsaw Bulletin is running a
weekly resume of the news of many
years ago. Among the things this
week is the statement that the little
Plough Boy gave the White Eagle
nearly 4 mile start and then beat the
big boat to Keokuk, on Monday, DC
tober z, 1882. There was real news
just like that in those halcyon days.

be careful and consider income from

There are numerous instances
Of a merchant deducting his
personal or living expenses as

of his business, thus bringing
his business profit down below the in

Rad CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY

The experience Of Mr.. +. j. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length Of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-siX years and every winter
j would catch cold and become SO
hoarse | could not speak for six or
eight weeks. ! could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter l was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. BY the time l had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. | am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, Indigestion.
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some Of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.
