Jim knowed all kinds of signs. He said
he knowed most everything. I said it
looked to me like all the signs was about
bad luck, so I asked him if there wasn’t
any good luck sigrs. He says:
“Mighty few—an'd y ain’t nouso to

"Why, livestock—cattle, you know. I
put ten dollars in a cow. But I ain’t

De cow up’n died on my hands.”
“So y >u lost ten dollars?”
"No; I didn’t lose it all. I only lost
'bout nine of it. 1 sold de hide en taller

“Yu had live dollars and ten cents
left. Did you speculate any more ?”

C. E. Du pier, aged thirty-four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
a chronic catarrh which he first discov
ered six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The diser.se
was so malignant that it not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition of the nose and seriously ..fleeted
the external parts. He could only hear a
Witch tickin'by holding it c’ose to his
ear. lie suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself to Dr. Hartman several months
ag >. He can now hear a watch eight
inches from hi - ri.;ht and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
! returning, and Ih3 external part of the
I nose is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left a physician’s office than
! Mr. Dupler. He said, •• Why in the
j world was Pc run a not prescribed for
■' me long ago?”
Cramps cf tho Stomach.
We have the privilege of reporting the
I following case. Those similarly affected
I can get the nami and address : Dr.
Hart nan. The lady dies not want her
name in the p ipers. For a year, or years,
(the writer does not remember the length
of time.) this lady had cramps, the most
Lar ful, of the stomach, every day and
night, which would be followed by that
terrible weakness, which was something
wonderful/’' The suffering and distress
of this lad y was indescribable and almost
unendqrable. A ter ail the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost 11. 1. Dr. Hartman was con
sulted, and irom the first day of taking
his Perun A, the cramps and ail bad
feeiing left her, and now for over a month
has been entirely free from every symp
tom. A more thankful patient no doctor
ever bad.
Mr. Boggs, druggist, Charlestown,
