Pe-ru-na Is a Systemic Remedy.
If Peruna proves etlicicnt for catarrh
In one place, it will be equally potent
in any other place, because it is a sys
temic remedy.
The people generally sr very much
misinformed as to tin; natureof catarrh.
'atarrh is usually believed to be con
fined to the head, nose and throat.
Lately we sometimes hear of catarrh of
the stomach and catarrh of the bowels.
.Seldom, if ever, do wo hear of catarrh
cf any other organs.
It is not because the.-e organs are not
eulijec-t to ratarrh, nor that catarrh of
thse organs is not a very common dis
ease, hut simply because it is not gener
ally known that afleetions of these
organs laay bo due to catarrh. I

MR. W. J
TEMPLE.
Climatic Ailments Overcome By
Pe-ru-na.
Mr. W. J. Temple, It. F. D. 3, Dela
ware, Ohio, writes:
'I am a farmer and so necessarily
must be exposed to all kinds of weather.
About three years ago last winter, I
was taken sick with bowel and stomach
trouble.
"One doctor called It ulceration of
the bowels, another called it colitis.
Another doctor helped me tempo
rarily. "Then a druggist recommended
I'eruna and 1 followed his advire. 1
took altogether five bottles and I con
sider rnvself a well man.
"Hefore using I'eruna, it was utterly
impossible for me to do a day's work,
but now I can do farm work without
the least trouble or fatigue. I consider
Peruna the best medicine and tonic on
the market.
"I had not eaten a meal for five years
without distress until I took Peruna.
have recommended it to several
friends with good results."
Mr. Gustav Schmidt, Spring Valley, 111., writes:
'I had catarrh of the head and throat for over thirty years. It became
worse every year. About three months ago I commenced to take Peruna
and Manalin, and now I am entirely cured of that troublesome sickness.
Your medicine is surely a blessing to mankind. You can truly say that you
have not lived in vain, Doctor, and I thank you for the good you have done
me. Mav you enjoy a long life to help sufferins humanitv."
DR. HARTMAN, THE FARMER.
Dr. S. R. Hartman, the inventor and
original manufacturer of Peruna, is one
of the best farmers in the Middle West.
His farm comprises several thousand
acres of the best land in the State of
Ohio, located near the City of Columbu3.
Aa an importer of French Percheron
and German Coach horses, the Doctor
has not an equal in this country.
The fowl-raising department is a
marvel of ingenuity and perfection;
but. perhaps the dairy department is
where the Doctor shows his greatest
sense of order and sanitary science.
His milk cows, of the purest Jersey
stock, have all been subjected to the
tuberculin tests, and he gives to the
City of Columbus a pure milk, certified
by the Board of Health.
The milk stables, the milk men and
the whole process of milking are ab
solutely faultless and clean.
The Doctor himself, past 7i years of age,
is the managing head of the farm.
He himself supervises the working
details of every department.
He is a modelof strength and vitality,
and since Peruna is the only remedy he
ever makes personal use of, his physical
condition is a testimonial to the efficacy
of Peruna of greater value than could
be framed in words.
Dr. Hartman isone of the few doctors
who take their own medicine and his
splendid physique and strength in his
old age are an eloquent argument for
Peruna very difficult to gainsay.
Dr. Hartman, being a farmer himself,
knows what the farmer needs and in
speaking of Peruna to the farmer he
speaks to his own kind of people.
Pe-ru-na For Bowel Trouble.
Mr. Stanly Hell, Ashley, Oiiio, writes :
'I was afllicted with rheumatism so
badly that it was painful for me to
move. I took two or three bottles of
Peruna when I began to feel better. It
also gave mm riiXiroi:i bowel trouble."
MK.J.B. ALEXANDER.
A Necessity In the Home.
J. II. Alexander, publisher of tne
"Fruit and Floral Guide, a Magazine of
Horticulture," published in Hartford
City, Ind., says of I'eruna:
"I was afllicted with catarrh of the
throat and head for over ten years.
was treated by many physicians, but
grew worse until I was seldom able to
go out in cold weather.
"About one year ago I was advised to
try Peruna, which I did, and I am now
entirely well of the catarrh.
"Peruna is a necessity in our home
With the first symptoms of a cold we
use it, and are never afllicted with ca
tarrh.
"I advise all who are afflicted with
catarrh to try I'eruna. There 1 cer
tainly nothing equal to it as a catarrh
medicine."
71 Years Old and Able to Work.
Mr. John G. llirdler, Garfield, Kas.,
writes :
"I was injured by a fall on the rail
road and my entire nervous system was
impaired by the same. The help of a
physician was useless.
"I then tried I'eruna and after using
it for three months was entirely well.
I am "1 years old and my work on the
the railroad is hard and tedious, but I
can work like a young man In all kinds
of weather, heat, cold, rain, snow or
storm alike." j
Pc-ru-na, a Household Remedy.
Mr. Henry Schroeder, K.-tey, Mich.,
writes :
"I suffered for almost ten years wit"!
catarrh of the stomach and all doctor
ing was of no avail. 1 took nine Imttlen
of I'eruna and two of Manalin and am
now entirely cured.
"I recommend the medicine to all
who are afllicted with this disease. It
is my household friend."
One of Dr. ttartman's Grateful Gar
respondents. Mr. W. R. Callahan, proprietor of Itlg
Hill Farm, and prominent fruit grower
and stock raiser, Glenvar, Va., writes:
"I write to express my kindn
toward you and your good medicine,
Peruna.
I had a very bad spell of sickneee
and could not eat any thing at all. My
head, stomach, in fact, my whole body
ached, and It looked as though nothing
would do me any good. I had almost
given up.
"I decided to try a bottle of your
Peruna and before I had takenjjalf the
bottle my appetite came tome and my
head became all right. In fact, I waa
all right all over. I'eruna cured me.
While I'eruna is not confined to any
one class of people, yet it is probably
true that the farming class more than
any other, rely upon I'eruna for Jh9
prevention and cure of all climatlo
diea-oj.

A Habit to Be Encouraged
The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup
to which children are susceptible, are
quickly cured by its use. It counter
acts any tendency of a cold to result in
pneumonia, and if given as soon as the
first symptoms of croup appear, it wil
prevent the attack. This remedy con
tains nothing injurious and mothers
give it to little ones with a feeling of
perfect security. Sold by F. G. Fricke
& Co. and A. T. Fried.

AFTER FRUIT TREE PESTS
Isaac Pollard, of This County, Wants to
Create a State Botanist.
Isaac Pollard of Kehawka, father of
Congressman E. M. Pollard, is the au
thor of a bill introduced in the house
last week by a Cass county member to
provide for the control and extermi
nation of insect pests and plant dis
eases, says the Lincoln Journal.
It is the object of the measure to
create a state botanist, who shall be
the botanist of the agricultural ex
periment statfon of the state univer
sity, and to place that official and the
state entomologist in charge of the
work, for which an appropriation of
$12,000 is provided during the next.bi-ennium.
The bill authorizes a greenhouse and
a laboratory to be maintained at the
state farm to assist in combatting
foes of plant life and crops. Two field
men may be employed, together with
other helpers as they are needed. The
scope of the bill covers farm products,
fruit, floriculture and timber. The
Codlin moth is to receive special at
tention.
The interior of the postoflice in this
city was the scene of much activity
and industry Saturday, being
an examination under the supervision
of Postmaster C. II. Smith, in order
that several vacancies in rural mail
districts may be filled.
The examinations given by the Uni
ted States civil service commission are
under the direction of Mr. Smith, who
found ib necessary to secure a room in
the Plattsmouth telephone building in
order to accommodate the exceedingly
large number of applicants, who ap
peared at the postoffice at 9 o'clock
this morning.
Those from the various parts of the
county to take the examination were:
Norris Jones, TheoF. Bethel, Sam W.
Goodale, and Noah J. Brittenham of
Greenwood; Charles F. Rosenow, Geo.
P. Cook, Martin L, Keefer, James W.
Sutton of Alvo; James A. Darrougn,
William S. Dix of Union; Ray Chris-
wisser, Thomas H. Nix, Thomas J.
Brendel of Murray, and Robert Dore
of Nehawka.
It will require about two weeks in
which to correct and return the pa
pers at which time the successful ones
will be notified, and later receive their
appointments.
Fake Hold-up Exposed.
As the result of investigation made
by the officers, the idea that Cedric
Eaton was "attacked by two youthful
foot-pads on Winterstein II i 1 1 , ' 1
Thursday night, and was thrown in
the snow and handled in a rough man
ner without any provocation, lias been
exploded and an Interesting fabrication
and misrepresentation of the case has
been exposed. The two large boys
turned out to be Ed Rice and a neigh
bor boy, the former being about the
same size, while the latter is about
half as large as '"the nervy little car
rier," who admits to the otlicers that
he became involved in a discussion
with the two boys and assumed the
offensive, daring them to meet him
half way. In the mix-up that follow
ed, young Eaton got a drubbing. The
police did not have any difficulty in
ascertaining who the boys were and
they in turn promptly explained how
the incident happened, which shatter
ed the presumptions that the young
boys desired to rob Eaton or beat him
under the impression that it was some
other boy, who they were waiting to
wreak their vengance upon.
The Early Bird.
The old adage about "the early bird
catching the worm," has beendisprov
en by Mrs. Ed Betts. She is the poses-
sor of a hen which came off the nest
Monday with a brood of nine Plymouth
Rock chick. These birds are about
three months too eajly to catch the
worm. Eagle Beacon.
An Enjoyable Birthday Party.
The hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs.
C. P. Richard was the rendezvous last
evening of a number of their neigh
bors, who gathered to assist the latter
in celebrating her birthday anniver
sary. Just which mile-stone Mrs.
Richard passed yesterday, we are not
informed, but it is suffiicnt to say that
a most enjoyable evening was spent at
cards and a social time. At a welcome
hour a pleasant diversion which ma
terially promoted the delightful even
ing, appeared in the form of some de
licious refreshments. At a late hour,
after wishing Mrs. Richard many more
such happy returns in the future, the
participants departed for homes.
Demand a Pledge.
A Lincoln correspondent says:
"Teachers tempted by Cupid to desert
their posts during the term of duty
will hereafter lose their certificate, if
the present senate bill in the legisla
ture passes the house." The bill should
be amended by giving the directors
who employ teachers the right to de
mand from them a solemn pledge that
female teachers will not get married
during such contracts. And there
should be a penalty attached in case
they fail to live up to their agreement.

Sustains Badly Fractured Wrist.
While returning to the house fr a
tending to herchickensSaturday even
ing, Grandma Mapes, who resides on
the corner of Pearl and Eighth streets,
lost her footing on the slippery path
and fell, fracturing her right wrist
quite badly. A physician was sum
moned to reduce the fracture and
place the Injured member In splints.
The patient is about seventy-four
years of age, and some difficulty may
be experienced In getting the bones to

day and conditions are favorable.
