Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrh Wherever Located. There are some things which are as sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur to at least onc-half of the human family unless means are taken to prevent. First, the climate of winter is sure to bring colds. Second, colds not promptly cured are sure to cause catarrh. Third, catarrh improperly treated is sure to make life short and miserable. Catarrh spares no organ or function of the body. It is capable of destroying sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion, secretion, assimilation and excretion It pervades every part of the human body, head, throat, stomach, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs, That Peruna cures catarrh wherever located is attested by the following tes timonials sent entirely unsolicited to Dr. Hartman by grateful men am. wo men who have been cured by Peruna: Systemic Catarrh. Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va., writes: “I had catarrh all through my system for two years and could get no relief. I was advisad to try Peruna and I have taken five bottles of it and am well and better now than I h ,ve been for years. I can advise any one who has catarrh of any part of the oody to take Peruna. My little gi’ i who is eleven years old had catarrh, but was cured by Peruna. Before ? began to take Peruna I was sick all th • time, but now I am entirely cured, am all praise is due Peruna.”—Mrs. M. K.. tousch. Catarrh of the Nose. Mr. Herman Ehlke,952 Orchard street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: “ I am entirely cured of my catarrh of the nose by your Peruna. My case was a severe one.”—Herman Ehlke. Catarrh of the Throat. B. II. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes: “ I suffered with catarrh of the throat for five years. I was induced to try Peruna. I have used five bottles and am perfectly well.”—B. II. Runyan. Catarrh of The Ear. Mr. Archie Godin, 188 Beech street, Fitchburg,Mass., writes: Peruna has cured me of catarrh of the middleear. I feel better than I have lor several years.”—Archie Godin. ,2 it-:- ! »i ) tVfOR >0R 'fOK pst-vr'; .o*:- M 0 ' NOS,..-' N ft..

Mrs. Emilie Kirckhoff, Ada, Minn., writes: “Through a violent cold contracted last winter, I became afflicted with ca tarrh of the nose, which in a short time affected my lungs. I took Peruna which cured me thoroughly. I now feel better than 1 have for forty years.”—Mrs. Emilie Kirckhoff. Catarrh of the Bladder. Mr. John Smith, 311 S. Third street. Atchison, Kan., writes: “ I was troubled with catarrh of the urethra and bladder for two years. At the time I wrote to you I was under the care of my home doctor, and had been for four months. “ I followed your directions but two months, and can say Peruna cored me of that trouble.”—John Smith. Catarrh of The Head. Mr. D. R. Ramsey writes in a recent letter from Pine Bluff, Ark., the fol lowing: “ My son, Leon Ramsey, four years of age, suffered with catarrh of the head for eighteen or twenty months. He took one bottle of your Peruna and could hear as good as ever.”—D. R. Ramsey. Catarrh of The Kidneys. P' ter J. \ ncr,Hawley.Pa.,writes: ‘‘I think that I am perfectly cared of catarrh of the kidneys by Peruna, as I have no trouble of any kind.”— P. J. Unger. Catarrh of Tho Stomach. A. AV. Graves, of Hammond, Ind., writing to Dr. Hartman, says: “l am well of catarrh of the stomach after suffering two years. I have taken live bottles of Peruna and one of Mana- lin and I feel like a new man now.'’— A. W, Graves. Pelvic Catarrh. Miss Katie Lochman, Lafayette, Ind., writes: “ I had pelvic catarrh, pain in tho al> domen, back, had stomach trouble and headache caused by catarrh. I followed your directions: took Peruna and Mana- lin according to directions, and how happy I feel that I am relieved of such a distressing ailment.”—Miss Katie Lochman. Catarrh of The Rowels, Mr. Henry Entzion, South Bend, Ind., writes: “ Tho doctor said I had catarrh of tho bowels and I took his medicine, but with no relief. I was getting worse all the time. “ Before I had taken a half bottle of Peruna I felt like a new man.”—Henry Entzion. I f 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 his valuable ad- I vice gratis.

I In the is-me of, The Ledger of the 1st Inst., we gftve an account of the death and burial of Mr. Thos. McGill, of • King’s Creek. Below we republirh an account from The Ledger of July the 4rh, 1902, of a reunion of bis family which was held on the 24th of June, 1902, which contains 4 short -ketch of the life of t h ia worthy old gentleman; ‘•On the 24Gi of June there was » reunion of the family of Mr. Thomas McGill at Ills home near King’s Creek in this county. At this reunion all his living children, five (5) in number, eignteen (18) grandchildren and two great-grandchildren were present to comfort and do honor to their venerable and worthy sire, and with them were several friends andRsv J. L Oatr,, Mr. McGill’s pastor, who made a suitable address for the occa sion. Among the grandchildren was Rev. J. Meek White, of Lancaster county, * To add to the pleasures of the oc casion these dutiful descendants of this worthy old gentleman iiad pre pared an abundance of tbe good things of their bountiful homes, spread them out in picnic style and enjoyed them on the spacious old piazzas where they had played their children games in the days of their youth. A'i present entered the fes tivities of the occasion with zeal, and none more so than the venerable old father in whose honor his children had met. “Mr. McGill’s long and upright life is worthy a notice in this connection. “Mr. McGill is a son of Gapt. Wil liam and Mrs. Martha McGill, nee Henry. He was born on Crowder’s creek in York county on June tbe 24tb, 1813, and, as will be seen, is eigbty-nine (89) years old. He moved with his father’s family in 18S2 to bis present home on King’s creek a short distance south of King’s Creek post office, where be has spent his long life. “On the 24th day of January, 1837, be married Louisa N. Galloway, of Clark’s Fork She was tbe second daughter of Alexander and Mary Gal loway. The ceremony was perform ed by bis wife’s grandfather, William McElwee, Esq. Ten children were born to them, five of them are dead, one of whom ditd in 1804 while gal- lanty serving bis country in tbe Con federate army. "Mr. McGill joined Bethany A. R P. church in 1838. In 1843 Rev. R C. Grice organized Smyrna A. R. P. church. Mr. McGill then moved bis membership to Smyrna and was or dained an elder. He has been a con sistent member ever since and during these many years has served his church in many capacities and has lived up to his high standard of a Christian gentleman, dignified man hood and good citizenship. He has been useful to his church, his neigh borhood and his State, having once served her ten years as magistrate. "All join in wishing Mr. McGill many more years on earth where he is still a pleasure and comfort to his dutiful descendants ” DURAND AS A HUNTER. Brltiah AmbnaNatlor’a Exploit In nn Indian JnuKle. It is said in Loudon that Sir Morti mer Durand, the negotiator of the “Durand agreement” with the astute Abdur Rahman, khan of Kabul, for eix years British minister at tbe court of the shah, for more than three years ambassador at Madrid and now the new British ambassador to Washing ton, is prouder of his success as a sportsman than as a diplomat, says the New York American. It is intimated that he took with him to Washington many of his Indian shooting trophies. Chief among these are an enormous skin and bead of a Bengal tiger, the story of whose death he often tells. As the Jungle was too thick for elephants to be used. Sir Mor timer was armed with both an Empress rifle and an eight bore. The latter weapon he had never used, and when the tiger came on he expected to have dropped him dead by the steady aim he took with it. But the brute rushed on for thirty yards at full gallop, and Sir Mortimer thought he had missed him. From his coign of vantage in the fork of a tree he fired with the Empress rifle into the brute’s bask, and this time be fell. When the tiger was skinned, it was found that the eight bore bullet had raked It from the chest to the end of its body. It was evidently well en dowed with the feline capacity for sur viving. Wine usually improves with age or tarns to vinegar—and it’s mujhthe same with people. Elmer Kemp, a Maryland brick layer now living in York, Pa . is said to have fallen heir to $20,000.
