OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper, but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
-every day favorite is our men’s
and ladies’ shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won’t wear you out
to wear it out. You don’t need to
take care of it; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before, the price of this shoe will,
for it costs only $2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.
What is this
anyhow
It is the only bow (ring) which
cannot be pulled from the watch.
To be had only with Jas. Boss

CHRONIC CATARRH,
As Treated by the Leading Physi
cians of Today.
Pe-ru-na is the specific for every
case of catarrh—for the Acute and
the Chronic. The dose of Pe-ru-na
should be a largo teaspoonful before
each meal and at bedtime. This dose
should be gradually increased to two
tablespoonfuls. Women and some deli
cate men should begin with a teaspoon
ful, and as slowly and gradually in
crease to the above dose. The Acute
Catarrh and Humid variety of Chronic
Catarrh, under this treatment, will dis
appear in one or two weeks; but in the
Hypertrophic variety this treatment
must be continued in some cases from
one to three months; and in very rare
or extremely bad cases it must be con
tinued for six mouths. In some cases
of Acute Catarrh (cold in the head),
where the case is severe, a teaspoonful
of Pe-ru na should be taken every hour.
Every one should send for a free copy
of a treatise on catarrh, coughs, colds
and consumption, by the Pe-ru-na Drag
Manufacturing Company, of Columbus,
Ohio. Sent free during February aud
