hoarse could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter was taken with

fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I 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. It 10
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh

trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
boating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh Of the large and small in

Tom Clark, who was convicted in
the johnson county circuit court Of
the murder of Sheriff Joseph Talbot,
of lafayette county has asked for q

court house stairs, placed there to
stop a possible mob, prejudieed him
in the minds of the jury. That the
court erred in having himself sworn
in as q deputy sheriff and appearing
on the bench armed.
