ES CATARRH
IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip
bacillus has passed over our coun
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
aving behind it a dark cloud of an-
sh and despair.
| Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
ause.
A multitude of catarrh victims will
pring up in the trail of the awful epi
demic of grip that has just passed over
ir fair country.
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch
If grip, should not fail to take a course
pi treatment with Peruna.
Peruna eradicates every vestige of the
sease and leaves the system in a nor-
oal condition.
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
!rom Illinois, writes from the National
lotel, Washington, D. C., as follows:
“After giving Peruna a fair trial I can
[Cheerfully recommend your remeay to
syone suffering with coughs, colds, la
grippe and all catarrhal complaints.”—
l B. Crowley.
Hon. George H. White, Congressman
om North Carolina, writes:
“I am more than satisfied with Peru-
Ra. and find it to be an excellent remedy
[tor the grip and catarrh. I have used it
ruy family, and they all join me in
ecommending it as an excellent rem-
My.”—George H. White.
Hon. J. p. Megrew, Superintendent U.
S. Capital Police Porce, of Washington,

‘‘Having suffered from the grip, I was

Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Coun
selor, Loyd Mystic Legion, 293 Endieott
Building, St. Paul, Minn., writes:
“ For years I have unfortunately found
my system in a peculiarly receptive con
dition for catarrh when I was exposed
in any way to inclement weather. At
those times I would be severely afflicted
with la grippe and its unpleasant con
sequences.
“ Now for the past year and a half I
have used Pefuna in such cases and have
found that it not only cures me quickly,
but it also cleanses my blood and ren
ders me less liable to catch cold. It is
the finest preventative of colds that I
know of and a very superior tonic.”—
Anna Russell.
Miss Emily Milburne, President of the
Westside Young Woman’s Club, No. 152
West Congress street, Chicago, Ill.,
writes of several members of the elub of
which she is president, who have had
the Grip and have been quickly restored
to health by Peruna.
Mr. Nicolas F. Rossiter, of 463 Nor
wood avenue, Cleveland, O., had a severe
attack of the Grip, was very sick and
under the physician’s care. He, like
many others, passed the acute stage but
did not receive strength. Peruna not
only quickly restored him to his former
health, but to much better health than
he has had for years. He gives Peruna
all the praise.

ber of people who have been cured of
th© Grip by Peruna.
Hon. Charles W. Culkin, Alderman of
the Seventh Assembly District of the
Borough of Manhattan, residing at 45
Eighth avenue, New York, writes that
he was laid up several days with the
Grip. On the fifth day he was advised to
try Peruna. He did so and found him
self better within twenty-four hours.
This remedy soon restored him to his
usual vigorous health.
Mr. Martin Edwards, President of the
County Clare Men’s Benefit Society, 522
West Forty-Ninth street, New York,
writes that he was cured of the Grip by
a short course of treatment with Peruna.
Miss Blanche Dumont, President of
the Athenia Club, 4110 Aldrich avenue
North, Camden Place, Minneapolis,
Minn., says she was cured of the Grip.
Nothing helped her until she tried Pe
runa. Felt better next day after begin
ning its use. Was able to be out of bed
the third day. She also tells of others
who were cured by Peruna.
La Grippe is epidemic catarrh. Pe
runa cures catarrh, hence Peruna is a
specific for la grippe.
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

take care of the water fall at South
end Main street, through their prop
erty, the original channel.
The following resolution was, on mo
tion passe 1: “Resolved, that all street
railway companies building street car
lines along the streets of the city of
Gainesville shall be required by the
street committee of said city to macad
amize, or otherwise pave their road
bed between rails and two feet on each
side thereof, to a level with top of rails,
said macadum shall be at least four
inches thick under the ties on firm
foundation, and six inches on fills.”

ford street, between Church street and
College avenue, was referred to water

journed.

“If the city don’t put up some
kind of signal on those fences
across the streets where they ar6
putting down that macadam the
first thing you know they are go
ing to have two or three damage
suits on their hands. Somebody
is going to drive into one of those
fences some dark night and hurt
themselves, or some one is going
to jump off the street cars and
come in contact with one of those
barricades and get seriously in
jured and then you will hear of
Mr. So-and-so having a case
against the city of Gainesville;
and the city might lose the case,
and there you are. Of course it
is an oversight on the part of the
authorities and nobody is to blame
but if the city should have to pay
out a few hundred dollars on ac
count of this oversight, that will
not relieve the taxpayers. Now,
the best thing to be done is to
hang up a red light on each one
of those fences. Kerosene oil is a
good deal cheaper than law-suits,
even if the city should win the
case in court.”

“Did you ever run into a yel
low jacket’s nest in the spring of
the year—or any other time, aB
for that matter? I did once—but
I hope I will never have to under
go that experience again. It was
many years ago. I was a boy then,
but I recall the occurence as well
as if it were yesterday. It hap
pened one Sunday afternoon.
When I was a boy I had to get up
in the morning and build ths fires
for the women folks to cook break
fast. Boys don’t do that way
now. The boys and me a lie in bed
in this age of progress and prosper
ity, while the women get up and
prepare for them a good warm
breakfast. You see it might cause
the delicate young men of this age
to catch the grip—la grippe I
should say—to get up in the cold
too early in the morning. It
wont hurt the women. They are
created in such a way as to stand
anything. But, I have dropped
my yellow jacket story. As I
said, I stirred up a yellow jacket’s
nest one Sunday afternoon. I had
forgotten to get my pine with
which to kindle the fires on Sat
urday afternoon, so I slipped out
on Sunday afternoon to split
some off of an old pine stump that
stood just across the road in front
of the house. I lived in the coun
try over in South Carolina, and I
believe South Carolina yellow
jackets can out-sting Georgia yel
low jackets, too. Well, I had not
hit the stump more than two or
three licks before something hit
me on the end of the nose. I had
on a pair of Kentucky jeans
breeches and split-leather, copper
toed boots. I had forgotten to
tuck my pants down on the inside
of my bootlegs. }t was Sunday,
remember. I believe yellow jack
ets like boots, for all that could
crawled down on the inside of my
boots and those that could, not get

those yellow jackets reminded me
that it was Sunday and that I was
committing a sin in splitting pine
on the holy Sabbath. I did not

know unti that day, either, that a
fellow *8 memory extended so far
down his body. It seemed as
though ^wherever those yellow
jackets touched me they would
awaken a memory—a warm mem
ory with a red place all around it,
I remember that one of them took
a seat on my upper lip. Guess he
thought it was a rosebud. When
he went away it looked like a
mushroom, painted pink. The
next day I wrapped a bed-quilt
around it to take out the heat so
that I could get out of the back
doqr. Yellow jackets crawled all
over me and I was afraid to brush
them off. You see yellow jackets
are quick-tempered and I did not
want to hurt their feelings-—they
had no respect for mine. They
got in my hair, too. and I had to
beat my head against the ground
to mash them, and they had to
comb them out the next day with
a fine-tooth comb, and I had to
wear a bow-basket for a hat for
three weeks, to keep from rubbing
the skin off of those high protrud
ing places those yellow devils left
on my cranium. Two or three of
them seemed to have a special
grievance against me where my
pants and vest come together.
They must have had an idea that
my pants were too large and
wanted to make me swell up so
that I would fit them—the pants—
the yellow jackets fit me all right.
Well, to make a long story short
I got to the house the best way I
could—I crawled I think—I had
on nothing but my socks and
boots and those yellow jacket
stings. My sister’s best fellow
was there, too. He left as soon as
I crawled in. I know he was glad
of my fight with the yellow jack*
ets, because the Sunday before I
had slipped a lizard down his
back while he was talking to sev*
eral young ladies. But lizards
are not as bad as yellow jackets.
The next day they told me I
looked like I had the dropsy. I
could not see, my eyes being
closed, not in sleep, but in pain.
My bead resembled a one-horse
wagon load of summer squashes,
and I felt curious and painful all
over in spots. I never split any
more pine nor built any mor fires
for a week, and to this day I have
a horror of old pine stumps. My
graudmother said it was good for
me—which I failed to see, for I
felt awful bad—because I ought to
have split the pine on Saturday,
and I did ever after that, but 1
never monkeyed with a pine
stump any more.
