C0NS1N P
iecommends Pe-ru-na as Being Worth
its Weight in Gold..
GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1908.
NUMBER 45.
(Son. John Paulin, Sr., a pioneer of Port Washington, Wis., is held in high
r m the residents of that place. He is one of the oldest citizens. In a recent
F r he gays:
r have used Peruna with good results for coughs and colds. It
f a k° cured my catarrh which always became worse when affected
r hut a slight cold. I am recommending Peruna because it is
V th to weight in gold. "—JOHN PAULIN, SR.
Mr. A. Howell, Marietta, Ga., writes:
“ I have been troubled with catarrh in
head, throat and stomach for several
years, and from accounts that I have
read in several newspapers of the good
effects that many had received from Pe
runa, and whose veracity could not be
doubted, caused me to give it a trial, and
I bless the day that I did make a trial.
It has made a new man of me.
“I was all my life up to about five
yeacs ago a very healthy man, and about
that time I was troubled with catarrh.
I tried a number of prescriptions from
different doctors but none seemed to re
lieve me until I commenced the use of
Peruna, and from its use I can truly say
that I have been greatly benefited.
**I am now in my eighty-seventh
year and can walk and get about as
well as many much younger than my
self and attribute it greatly to the use
of Peruna. I keep some on hand all the
time, and consider it the cheapest medi
cine in the world.”—Mr. A. Howell.
J. R. Prince, East Leon, N. Y., writes:
“ Peruna has saved my life, and made
a strong, healthy, jolly old man of me.
Peruna is just what every family should
not be without. I have taken very few
colds since I have
used Peruna, but
when I do catch
cold, Peruna is my
medicine.
“A minister came
to me last summer
and said that he
had seen my testi
monial in the paper,
and began taking
Peruna. He said
that it straightened
him right up—(he
was troubled with kidney trouble) and
Peruna cured him. I cannot express
my thanks for the benefit your medicine
has been to me.”—J. R. Prince.
Abraham Ziegler, Piedmont, Wayne
County, Mo., writes:
“My wife who is now eighty-seven
years old, suffered for about sixteen
years from severe catarrh of the head,
which affected her sight and hearing.
I saw Pe-ru-na advertised in your al
manac, and testimonials similar to her
case attracted my attention. I got one
bottle and it helped her so much that
she is now using the second bottle and
she thinks it is something wonderful.
Her hearing and sight are both in part
restored.”—Abraham Ziegler.
In old age the mucous membranes be
come thickened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as well as di
gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes a life-long
stand-by with old and young.
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
advice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus. O.

J ay the department has al-
11 1Dcr0 ase in salary for
I 111 the office here to take
effect the first of July. This is
not only good news to them, but
to the people of the city as well,
for the postoffice clerks are hard
worked and are always willing to
accommodate the public.
There is a considerable differ
ence in the amount allowed for
clerk hire now and when Post
master Farrow went into office.
At tbajt time only $800 was allow
ed for clerk hire, whereas now the
clerks are paid $2,000, an increase
of $1200. Now, this is to be add
ed to by the last increase allowed,
the amount of which is not known
yet.

square who was standing by his
horse and buggy. “Want to

Hunt. “Yes,” the man replied.

as he commenced unhitching the
animal.
The man commenced turuing

looked at him with astonishment.
He had sold his horse so quickly
that it had completely unnerved
him, and he fainted. Mr. Hunt
promptly called the trade off, and
the man regained his composure
and drove back home.

Taxing to Advertise.
The general assembly of North
Carolina passed last week what is
said to be the first law enacted in
that State allowing a town to vote
a regular tax for the purpose of
paying for an advertisement of it
self. The bill was passed at the
request of more than two-thirds
of the voters of Pine Bluff, a com
munity controlled almost entirely
by New England capital, and the
tax, which is to be laid upon ev
ery form of business, is greater
than the tax for any other pur*
pose. This bill is a novelty, bnt
it is but another form of the poii*
cy which is becoming more and
more generally adopted in the
South of spending money to call
general attention to the advan
tages of cities, towns and count
try localities. The deep interest
manifested in the South by would-
be investors and settlers is respon
sible largely for this quickening
toward publicity, and, judiciously
directed, the advertising will re
sult in magnificent material re
turns. —Manufacturer’s Record.
