I have known several women who were

the use of Peruna I have known of cases
of chronic catarrh which were cured in a

HER GREAT FORTUNE
A Woman Saved From Life Long
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful
A woman confined to the house for sev
eral years with a chronic female derange
ment had finally given up hope of being
cured
She had tried physician after physician
and remedy alter remedy without any per
manent improvement
Her treatment had cost her husband who
was a poor man hundreds of dollars They
had been obliged to deny themselves many
comforts of life irf order to get money
enough to pay the physicians
The woman had become weak nervous
and wretched and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed Her children were grow
ing up neglected and ragged because of the
want of a mothers care Her husband
vas fcrcrg diccouraged and broken
down with oCxrwcrk
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained the
news that Dr Hartman would tieat such
cases free of charge by letter She imme
diately wrcte the doctor describing her case
and giving him all her smptcrrs
She soon leceived a letter telling her ex
actly what to do and what medicines and
appliances to get She legan the treat
ment the principle remedy Leing Peruna
at once and in a few weeks the was well
and strong again able to do her own work
This offer of free home treatment to wom
en is still open to all who may need the serv
ices of this eminent physician All letters
applying for treatment will be promptly
answered and be held strictly confidential
Miss Annie Hoban Pott Pocahontas of
Yemasscc Council of Red Men Womens
Branch writes from 872 Eighth Ave
New York
Three months ago I was troubled with
backache and a troublesome heaviness about
the stomach Sleep brought me no rest for
it was a restless sleep The doctor said my
nervous system was out of order but his pre
scriptions didnt seem to relieve me I was
told that Peruna was good for building up
the nervous system After using it for two
months I know now that it is 1 want to say
that it made a new woman of me The tor
turing symptoms have all disappeared and I
feel myself again Perun Jid me more good
than all the other medicines I have taken
ANNIE HOBAN
Miss Mamie Powell Lake Charles Lou
isiana writes
I sincerely believe that Peruna is wom
ans best friend for it has certainly been that
to me I had had headaches backaches and
other aches every month ior along time but
shortly after I began taking Peruna this was
a thingof the past and I have good reason to
begratcful I take abottle every springaad
fall now and that keeps myhealth perfect
and I certainly am more robust now than I
have been before and am weighing more I
do not think anyone will be disappointed in
the results obtained from the use of Pe
runa MISS MAMIE POWELL
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac
tory results from the use of Peruna write
at once to Dr Hartman giving a full state
ment of your case and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis

Origin of the Hansom
The hansom was the Invention of
Joseph Hansom the architect of the
Birmingham town hall But the two
wheeled cab he patented in 1834 little
resembles the vehicle which now
bears his name It had a square sedan-chair-shaped
body hung between
two wheels nearly eight feet high
Thedrivers seat was in front as also
was the door the fare entered the
cab between the wheel and the shaft
The modern hansom was adapted
from this original by Messrs Gillet
Chapman It is a peculiarly English
vehicle and no foreign nation has
ever compassed the dogged courage
of the Briton who san sit calmly in
side it
Why it Is tho 3est
Is because mado by an entirely differon
process Defiance Starch is unlike any
other better and one third more for 10
cents
Its a bad arithmetic teacher who
doesnt set her pupils a good example

Deputy Food Commissioner Thompson
Sends Out Warning
LINCOLN To the Wholesalers and
Retailers of Vinegar in the State of
Nebiaska In view of the fact that
the vinegar question of this state Is
in such a deplorable condition that
there are no rules by which the manu
facturers and wholesalers have been
labeling their goods and no conscien
tious scruples in a great many cases
for what we have been selling them
ior the fact has presented itself to
this department that something must
be done to check the growing evil of
selling these goods for what they arc
not and the misbranding of the same
So we wish to say that from this
time on the law must be strictly ad
hered to Any vinegar found in tho
state after November 15 that does not
come up to the requirements of tho
law will be turned down and tha
wholesaler if a resident of this state
will be prosecuted and if the whole
saler or shipper is not a resident of tho
state the retailer will be prosecuted
We wish to state further that sim
ply because some one has guaranteed
the vinegars to be up to the standard
will not exempt any one from prosecu
tion The department Kindly asks the
state press to copy the facts herein
so that the dealers in vinegars may
be informed
Any one desiring the vinegar laws
may receive the same upon request to
the state food commissioner Lincoln

Sometimes Overlooks a Point
The physician is such a busy man
that he sometimes overlooks a valu
able point to which his attention may
be called by an intelligent patient
who is a thinker
About a year ago my attention
was called to Grape Nuts by one ot
my patients says a physician of Cin
cinnati
At the time my own health wao
bad and I was pretty well rundown
but I saw in a minute- that the theo
ries behind Grape Nuts were perfect
and if the food was all that waa
claimed for it it was a perfect food
so I commenced to use Grape Nuts
with warm mill twice a day and in it
short time began to improve in every
wayj and now J am much stronger
feel 50 better and weigh more than
I ever did in my life
I know that all cf this good Is duo
to Grape Nuts and I am firmly con
vinced that the claims made for tha
food are true I have recommended
and stiil recommend the food to a
great many of my patients with spler
did results and in some cases the im
provement of patients on this Unci
food has been wonderful

as a general food Grape Nuts standa
