Sheppard, Member of Congress from Texas, writes: Gentlemen:—“ / have used Peruna In my family and find it o most excellent remedy for all catarrhal complaints. ”—Congressman John L. Sheppard. HERE are two things that the whole medical profession agree about con cerning catarrh. The first is that ca tarrh is the mostprevalent and omnipres ent disease to which the people in the United States are subject. All classes of people have it. Those who stay in doors much and those who go outdoors much. Working classes have it and sedentary classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con stant and ever-present foe. It compli cates nearly every disease he is colled upon to treat. The second thing abont catarrh on Vhich all doctors agree, is that it is dif ficult to cure it. Local remedies may give relief but they fail to cure per- manentlv.

Catarrh is frequently located in inter nal organs which cannot be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician. To devise some systemic internal rem edy which wonld reach catarrh at its source, to eradicate it permanently from the system—this has been the de sire of the medical profession for a long time. Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted this problem. He believed then that he had solved it. He still be lieves he has solved it. He cures thou sands of people annually. During all these years Peruna has been the remedy upon which ho has relied. It waa at first a private prescription afterwards manufactured expressly for him in large quantities. This remedy, Peruna, is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every home in the land. It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing. A Ca.su of Nasal Catarrh of Five Tear*’ Standing Cured by Pe-ru-na. 1 ' Hon. Rudolph M. Patterson, a well- known lawyer, of Chicago, 111., writes “ I have been a sufferer from nasal catarrh for the past five years and at the earnest solicitation of a friend I tried Peruna and am glad to say it has afford ed a complete cure. It is with pleasure I recommend it to others.”—Rudolph M. Patterson. A course of Peruna never fails to bring relief. There is no other remedy like Peruna. Its cures are prompt and permanent. Mr. Camillus Senne, 257 West 129th street, New York, writes: “I have fully recovered from my ca tarrhal trou bles. I suffered for three years with catarrh of the head, nose and throat. I tried all kinds ^ fr-X of medicine without relief, but at last I have been cured by the wonder- ^ ^ ful remedy called Peruna. “I read of Pe runa in your almanac, and wrote you for advice, which I followed. After tak ing one and one-half liottles of Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recommend Peruna to anyone as tho best and surest remedy for any catarrhal troubles.”— Camillus Senne. II cur lug Lost by Cntnrrh—Restored by Peruna. Mr. William Bauer, Burton, Texas, A Ginner and Miller, writes: “ Some years ago I lost the hearing in my left ear, and upon examination by a specialist, catarrh was decided to be the cause. I took a course of treatment and regained my hearing for a time but I soon lost it completely. I commenced to take Peruna according to directions and have taken eight bottles In all, and my hearing is completely restored, and I shall sing tho praises of Peruna when ever an opportunity occurs.— Wm. Bauer. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory 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 vice gratis.

Bob all agree, that while the farmers are. of course, elated at the present price of cotton and the prospect of good prices in the furore most of them remember the disastrous effects of the “all cotton” farming in the past; and while trying to. make good oottoo crops this year they will try to make their own grain. We learn from the Atlanta Const! 1 tution that N. 8 Turner, who was J born and reared at Limestone Springs hut who is now a prominent cotton mill man and cotton buyer in Geor ! »ia. bought 750 hales of spot cotton last Monday at 15 cents, the whole amount paid being more than $55,- 000. “Nat’s” friends in Gaffney have , a keen interest in him and are always aylor and John 1 ernple Graves say | glad to hear of his success.
