In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, Kan., whose fame la a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor:—“It given me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines— Peruna and Manalln. I have been afflicted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continua tion of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful rem edy tor catarrhal affections. ”—J. D. Botkin, Congressman-at-Large. CUNUituasMAn kuxxvxin in one ox the moat influential and best known men in the State of Kan sas. Whatever he may aay on any subject will be accepted by the people M the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of so famous a man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he has used it and was relieved of an af fliction of twenty-five years’ standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it Y ", ' Ur. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn., says in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: ' '■> "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for cgtarrh. of the stomach. I know what It is to be afflicted with this awful dis ease and consider it my duty to say a word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, and I know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the cur atlvo effects of this medicine. Peruna Is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh of the stom ach it is unsurpassed. “My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried sev eral doctors but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna In the pa pers and flve bottles cured me.”— Frank Richter, The gastric Juice Is sec :ted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this juice is normal it digests (dis solves) the food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric juice Is not normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. This condition is known as indigestion. reruns win cure mu. Mrs. Selina Tanner, Athena, O., writes: “I cannot find words to express my thanks for Mr*. Selin* Tanner. your kiuu auvitc. I never once thought I had ca tarrh of the eto mach. I com menced taking Peruna aa you directed. My sto mach continued to hurt me for about two weeks after I began the medicine and then it stopped. I now have a good appetite while before I was nearly starved.” —Mrs. senna tanner. Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, Neb., writes: “I do believe that my catarrh is en tirely cured. I have not had any trouble with my stomach for a long time. I am as well as one of my age could expect (seventy years). I have had the ca tarrh ever since I was a young man, and have doctored for it for years and got very little better, but thanks to you and your Peruna and Manalin I believe 1 am well of It. I can eat anything now and It doesn't hurt me, and Peruna la the only thing I have ever found that will cure the catarrh. I believe it is the only cure for catarrh, and I hope every one troubled with catarrh will try Pe runa and be cured.”—L. O. Marble. If you do not derive prompt, and sat isfactory results from the use of Pe runa, 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.

Most men are bad.—Bras. UmM(I> With Electricity. The latest method of using electric ity in massage is indirect. The cur rent is not applied directly to the persons it is supposed to benefit, but to the person administering the mas sage. Through her nimble finger tips it passes into the subject, who in this way is supposed to receive much greater benefit from it. Certainly the results of such treatment have been most succesful. Massage, without electricity, say the apostles of the new theory, and electricity without mas sage, would neither of them be half so efficacious. Combined they woi’k wonders. In facial massage results are particularly notable. A Story Tersely Told.

Little York, Ind., April 1.—(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, after wards entering on the regular mission ary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April 5th, 1885, hav ing lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over the prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among tha Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was strick en down completely. A Chicago spe cialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his re covery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medi- • cinea, but all to no avail. He says: “I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Dia betes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. “I am 68 years of age. I tell every body of the wonders Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vonph that they are all that is claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send to me.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cured Bright’s Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they never fail. Restricted to t'annon. As finally passed, the new law in South Carolina against the pistol-car rying habit, makes it unlawful for any person, except a peace officer, to carry a deadly weapon less than twenty inches in length or four pounds in weight. All diseased conditions of the blood and skin are benefited by the well known remedy, Garfield Tea; it puri fies the blood and clears the com plexion.
