This condition of things is also bad for old people, I or those who are run down or have a tendency to any weakness or disease.” “You are right,” said he, “the weather indications all point to a cold, wet and generally unhealthy fall, and people are warned to take to ward off sick ness, especially the old, and those who are already in delicate health.” If we could only meet every person in this city face to face and tell them what a grand protection to health Vinol is, we know we could convince them so we would not have clerks enough in our store to fill their or ders.

U NDER date of January 10,1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: “My wife had been snffering from a complication of diseases for the past 23 years. “ Her case had baffled the skill of some Of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic consti pation of several years’ standing. “She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. In Jane, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You ad vised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. “About the same time I wrote yon about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. I commenced to use Peruna according to your instruc tions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. ••Your remedies do all that you claim lor them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna Is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies. ” John O. Atkinson. J. F. GARRETT, Dentist. Mr. Htid Mrs. S. A.

In a letter dated January 1,1900, Mr# Atkinson says, after five years’ expe* riencewith Pernna: “ I will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking adver tisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna v/Ith the most satisfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh." John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrhal dis eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al most universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has becoma so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safe-guard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets thess cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locaUy) nothing but an effective systemic rem edy could care them. This is exactly what Pernna is. If you do not receive prompt and sat* isfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you hia valuable ad vice gratis.

He shot at him and missed him, but followed him so close that he brought him to a hault. Chief of police and Officer Hallman were a block or two away when they beard the pistol and went to see what it meant. When they arrived on the scene the negro ran, but was followed and caught by them and Mr. Meroer. The negro was locked up and Wednesday morning the mayor gave him an option on $15 or thirty days. He ohose the days and joined the good roade class. A Simke Fight. Mr. W. 8. Gaffney, from “down on the river,” was in to see us 8aturday and gave us an account of a snake . been fight which he witnessed on the Tues day before. The battle was between a king snake and a pilot and the scene of ac tion was or. Mrs. J. VV. Gaffney’s place, a few miles from the city. The first Mr. Gaffney saw of the fight was when the two snakes came roll ing out from some bushes on the roadside, squirming and twisting and locked in a death struggle. The king Hathaway,~mTI) snake had his fangs fastened in his enerney’s throat and his body tied around him in three different knots. The witness did not interfere, but 1 watched the battle closely and in about threeminutes from the time the snakes first came into view, the pilot wae dead. After the fight the victor proceeded to swallow the dead body of his adversary, and finally crawled away in the bushes with a portion of the tail end sticking out of his mouth. The snakes were young ones, the king snake being about eighteen inches long and the pilot a little shorter, though of the same size in body. People, as a general thing, have become somewhat skeptical about these "snake stories;” but Mr. Gaff ney vouches for the truth of every detail of this fight, and says he can produce another witness to the fight to substantiate bis assertions if necessary. the PTOK SALK—Old newspapers »at- -T dred.
