! 09 YEARS OLD,
Grandma Sanderson, of DeWift, He.,
Has Lived a Long and Useful Life.
Grandma Sanderson is a wonderful
Ionian. She is in as good health to.lay
as ever in her life, although she
is over one hundred years old.
In a letter to the Peruna Drug Mfg.
Co. she gives the highest credit to Femna
for her excellent health and e:
'rene old egc. P.ead what she says.
Surely the evidence presented by
:>nch cases as these ought not only tc
dispel prejudice against Peruna, but
aspire confidence in it.
"I will send you a picture that was
ahen a few weeks before my hun
:.red'iii oirtnaay.
"I am a true friend of the Peruna
Jcmpaay. I have derived great benf:i
from Peruna many times. I can
vsy I regard Peruna a very great med.cine.
I found out the merit of it a
.feed many years ago.
"A little more than two years ago I
ontracted a very severe cold, which
osnlted in la grippe. Owing to the
icvaity of the disease, and my ex:rene
age, my case was considered to
be very critical I -employed no doctor,
but Peruna was the remedy I
iset', and to-day my health is as good
cio it ever was in my life.
"However, I still continue to take
Peruna, a spoonful every night before
retiring." \
Parana is an ideal tonic for pld
people. It is a compound of herbal
remedies that has been known to the
medical profession for many yean.
Peruna operates as a tonic by cleansing
and invigorating the muoons membranee.
This explains why Peruna
has become so extensively known as a
catarrh remedy. Catarrh is simply a
condition of depraved mueous membranes.
Peruna changes this depravity
into healthful vigor.
A great many old people use Peruna,
and would not be deprived of it for any
consideration.
People who object to liquid medicines
can now secure Peruna tablets.
SIXTEEN PER CENT DIVIDEND.
Fine Showing of Scranton Bank
Less Than a Year Old.
Scranton, December 25:? At the
special meeting of the directors of
The People's Bank of Scranton.
held on the 23d inst., at their bank
ing house, the directors therr.selves
as being much pleased with the
prosperous condition of affairs.
This banking institution was organized
last spring and today declared
sixteen per cent dividend.
On December 31, a four per-cent
dividend will be paid to the stockholders
and the balance passed to
surplus and undivided profits. The
annual meeting of stock-holders will
be hefd in January and it is thought
by some that the matter of increasing
the capital stock will be brought
to the attention of the stock-holders,
as well as other matters of importance.
I must be fed. If I make one."
Another laughed.

I come to think of it. I'm not at ail
sure that 1 wasn't his most particular
friend, for we used to stop and spi*uk
whenever we met. By. by!"
"Spirit." said Scrooge. shuddering
from head to foot. "I see. 1 see. The
