71/r. /s««c Brock, 117 Years Old Last Birthday.
I SAAC BROCK, a citizen of McLen-|
nan county, Texas, has lived for 117
ears. For many years he resided at
Bosqne Falls, eighteen miles west of
Waco, but now lives with his son-in-
law at Valley Mills, Texas.
Some time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for nis
picture, holding in hl§ hand a stick
cut from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson. Mr. Brock is a dignified old
gentleman, snowing few signs of de
crepitude. His family Bible is still
preserved, and it shows that the date of
His birth was written 117 years ago.
Born before the United States
were formed.
Saw 22 Presidents elected.
Pe-rv-na has protected him
from all sudden changes.
Veteran of tour wars.
Shod a horse when 99 yean
old.
Always conquered the grip with
Pe-ru-na.
Witness In a land suit at the
age of 110 years.
Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest
remedy of the age for catarrhal
troubles.
I N speaking of his good boalfb and
extreme old age, Mr. Break say si
“After • maa has lived in the wwrld
as long as I have, he ongh* to have
found ottra great many things by ex
perience. I think I have dene e*.
••One at that Mags / hev+tbmn*

proper thing for ollmeptM that
ere due directly to the effects of
the climate. For IITyestra / bare
withstood the chaogeaide climate
Of the Ualted Statee.
<*1 have always been a wary healthy
man. bat, of coarse, sabjeet to the af
fections which are doe to sadden
changes In the climate and tempera-
tare. Daring my long life I have known
a great many remedies for oonghs, colds
and diarrhoea.
••As lor Dr. Hartman f s remedy,
Peruna, / have found It to be the
best, it not the only, reliable rent-
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for many years,
and / attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this remedy.
“It exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil ef
fects of sudden changes; it keeps me in
good appetite; it gives me strength; it
j keeps my blood in good circulation. I
have come to rely upon it, .Mmost en-
{ tirely for the many littie things for
which 1 need medicine.
‘•When epidemics of la gr^pe first
began to make their appearance In this
country I was a sufferer r. - om this
■ < iisease.
“/ had several long sieges with
\ the grip. At first l did not know
that Rerun a was a remedy for
; this disease. When I heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, /
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found it to be Just the thing. ”
In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes;
“I am well and feeling as well as I
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. If 1 could see
better 1 could walk all over the farm,
and it would do me good. I would not
be without .Peruna.”
Yours truly,
When old age comes. It brings with
it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal In old people. This
explains why Peruna has become so
indispensable to many old people.

Mr. L. B. Padgett Foully Murdered
and Robbed.
Brunson. Nov. 16.—Mr. L. B. Pad-
get, a prosperous tenant farmer living
along about two miles from this town,
was called to his door about 9 o’clock
last night and shot to death. The
murder was found out early this
morning by a near neighbor. The
load from a shotgun was fired into
the head of the murdered man. The
object of the murder was evidently
robbery, as Pad get was known to
have several hundred dollars in cash.
