WOMEN WHO BELIEVE IN PERUNA
Honest Women Who Are Not Afraid to Tell the Truth About Pe-ru-na.

i j
Since I have
iused Peruna I
have a splendid
appetite, enjoy
life and perfect
' i health.
MRS. F. E.HENDERSON J.
Caught Cold Easily.
Mrs. P. E. Henderson, 221 Ninth St., Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
“I never had any faith in patent medicines until I tried Peruna, but my
experience with this reliable medicine has taught me that there is one which
can be trusted, and which will not fail in time of need.
“For the past few years I have found that I caught cold easily, which
would settle in a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. I had to be especially
careful about being out of evenings, and not to get chilled when dressed thin
for parties, but since I have used Peruna my general health is improved, and
my system is in such good condition that even though I am exposed to in
clement weatner it no longer affects me.
“I have a splendid appetite and enjoy life, being in perfect health.*'
The Value of Health.
Who can set a money value on
healthf It is absolutely priceless.
No one in good health can fully
appreciate what it means to have
poor health. The days are long and
tedious. The nights horrible and
painful. Nothing goes right. Even
the mind becomes deranged and in
jured by continued poor health.
Once liberated from the thraldom
of sickness words fail to express
the joy and relief.
Peruna has been the means of re
lieving more women from ill health
in the United States than, perhaps,
any other medicine.
A multitude of women stand ready
to give testimony in favor of Peruna
whenever occasion offers.
Dyspepsia Entirely Relieved.
Miss Lilbe C. Martin, Shelbyville,
Tenn., writes: “Everybody says I
look better than I have for two or
three years, and 1 sincerely thank
you for your kind advice.
“I believe your treatment has en
tirely cured me. I can eat anything
J want. 1 believe your remedies will
cure any case of indigestion or dys
pepsia.”

MISS HELEN SAUERBIER
Pe-ru-na Tablets*.
For two years Dr. Hartman and his
assist-ants have labored incessantly to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous efforts have just been crowned
with success. People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure Peruna
tablets. These tablets represent the me
dicinal ingredients of Peruna, and each
tablet is equivalent to one average dose.
Mrs. Josephine Holst, 162 E. First St.,
Portland, Ore., writes that she was
troubled seriously with catarrh of the
throat, that she used Peruna and was
wonderfully helped in two weeks, and
in a little over two months her system
waaridof all traces of catarrh.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.
Lace and Embroideries Deed to jrlm
Lingerie Gowns-
The dresses prepared for the com
ing summer are among the loveliest
models ever evolved in fashion's
realm and the lingerie gowns parti
cularly are perfect dreams of beauty.
These costumes are lavishly trim
med and most remarkable combina
tions of laces are found upon them.
On one dress is often seen Valencien
nes. filet, imitation Irish, Venise and
Princess lace all united to form a
single design and when embroidery
is also included it is easy to see how
elaborate are some of the effects.
Allover embroidery and fluncing, as
well as insertion arid band patterns,
are also used in the construction of
lingerie gowns and this affords a wel
come change from the popular lace
trimmed frock.
Foulard and pongee Dresses.
That old standby foulard is as po
pular as ever this season and is seen
in both satin and twill effects and is
used for both plain and elaborate
gowns. It is made up into simple
new Chrome tanned glazed kid which
comes in several shades, is due no
doubt lO the fact that there Is some
thing in the tanning of the kid that
makes it not only pliable and lus
trous, but also impervious to mois
ture. so that if one is caught In a
hard down pour, one’s shoes are not
stretched out of shape, and it Is only
necessary to wipe off the grime with
a jlainp cloth and then rub them dry
to restore all their color and finish.
Dainty Summer parasols.
Tucked parasols are very smart in
deed. and the tucking is usually ar
ranged as a border. Many effects In
Copenhagen blue are seen and this
shade is also very fashionable com-
bir.od with other colors In parasols
of tussah silk, pongee or taffeta.
Some elaborate linen parasols have
appliqued and embroidered* medal
lions set on over cut out portions of
the body material creating a very
pretty effect. These medallions are
often tfimmed with' narrow Valen
ciennes lace which also edges the
parasol.
Suits of Linen and Pique.
Linen and pique suits in both plain
Head and Throat
Miss Helen Sanerbier, 815 Main St.,
St. Joseph, Mich., writes:
“Last winter I caught a sndden cold
which developed into an unpleasant ca
tarrh of the head and throat, depriving
me of my appetite rmd usual good spirits.
“A friend who had been cured by
Pernna advised me to try it and I sent
for a bottle at once, and I am glad to say
that in three days the phlegm had
loosened, and I felt better, my appetite
returned and within nine days I was in
my usual good health.”

shirt waist dresses or handsome
jumper or guimpe froebs. Fancy but
tons are used a great deal on these
costumes and so are bands of satin,
fancy silk braids and gimps and of
course, laces and heavy lace inser
tions.
Pongees in natural colors and all
the modish shades is made up into
some beautiful costumes. A charm
ing jumper dress of pale blue pongee
in the rough weave now so fashion
able had a coat to match. The prin
cess jumper had a high girdle cut in
one with the skirt, which together
with the shoulder straps was elabor
ately braided in pale blue soutache.
The coat was in the semi-fitting Di-
rectorie style and showed an elaborate
pattern of braiding all around the
edge and up the side seam.
Fashion in Footwear.
Never before was fashion so insist
ent in demanding that her votaries
should be daintily shod in footwear
that accords in tone either with the
dress or its trimmings. The increas
ing demand for <hoes made of the
and fancy styles are to be worn a
great deal this summer, the larger
proportion of these costumes being in
the fancy lace trimmed, embroidered
or soutache braided models. The
fashions most favored are the jumper
or princess designs with a coat of the
same material. White of course is
the favorite shade, but more colored
linens will be worn than has been the
case for years, pale pink, blue and
lavendar are the leading tints.
Both white and colored piques are
shown trimmed with designs in
soutache braiding of the same shade.
There are also some smart loking
white suits trimmed with thick cords
covered with colored pique arranged
in the form of ornaments on the front
of the coat, on the sleeves and oc
easionally on the panels o'f the skirt.
The shirt buttonel up the front
panel is unquestionably the most po
pular of the newly iritroduced skirt
styles. This model is used for both
woolvn, silk and cotton gowns.

Republican county convention.
We are indebted to S. J. Lipscomb,
corresponding secretary of the Union
Republican Convention, for the fol
lowing account >f the proceedings of
the Republican, convention held at
Gaffney last Saturday:
The meeting vas called by Mr. W.
M. Goodwin, county chairman. The
precincts of the eastern part of the
county were well represented, except
Gaffney precinct. This side (the
v/estern side of Broad river) did not
show very much interest In the party.
This meeting was called to elect de
legates to the State Convention which
met In the city of Columbia April
28th, 1908, at 12 o'clock m, for the
purpose of electing four delegates
and alternates to the National Repub
lican Convention which meets in Chi

to nominate a candidates for presi
dent and vice-president of the United

erson.
The delegates to the District Con
vention which meets in Rock Hill on
May 5th. 1908. were Mr. Thos. H.

While everything was quiet and
orderly, there is talk of this conven
tion not - being a legal one, on the
ground that notice was not given to
the public, and a contesting dele
gation may be sent to the above con
