hibiting Judges from practicing politics,
Ho Insists that In many of tho cases In

pitted against from two to eight lawyers.

watery mucous secreted, and at other times
thero Is a dryness of the mucous surfaces.
Thero Is no remedy In tho world that
meets the conditions produced by la grlppo
better than tho remedy Peruna. Peruna
strengthens ns It renovates, soothes whilo
It stimulates, heals as It expurgates.
Peruna Is not a purgative, or cathartic,
or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vegetable.
or mineral poison. It reaches tho source
of all diseases of tho mucuous membranes
by its action on tho vaso-motor system
of nnrvos
Tho following aro samples of tho letters
received by Dr. Hartman concerning tho
cures Peruna Is making.
Hon. F. Simmons, United States Mar
shal, Mohllo, Alabama, speaks In high
prolso of the merits
of Peruna. He Bays:
"After having used
Peruna for a short
tlmo I find that It
Is tho most excel
lent remedy for the
grip and catarrh
ever prepared. I can
heartily recommend
It to any one." F.
Simmons.
Mr. Frank Bauer,
of Mlnnclska, Minne
sota, In a recent let
ter, says:
'I cannot say anything eiso but good
of your medicines. For soven winters I
havo suffered with la grippe, and by each
attack was confined to tho bed. In tho
wintor of 1898, I was attacked with la
grlppo. I had a terrible cough. I asked
wlfo In company with a Mrs. Kruger, a
rolatlvo of President Krugor of tho South
African republic, hail died by his own hand.
A few days ago a prominent Gcrmnn renl-
dent of Choyenno reculved a letter from
a friend In Germany, which stuted that
Mrs. Kruger had told him that Wurl nnir-
derod his wlfo, bolng assisted by Delfs. On
his deathbed Wurl, who had married Mrs.
Kruger shortly after their arrival In South
Africa confessed that ho committed tho
crlmo. His rruson for wanting his wlfo
out of tho way was because ho was In love
with Mrs. Kruger, and tho latter would
havo nothing to do with him, ns long ns
his wlfo was allvo. Mrs. Kruger learned
nothing of Wurl'.4 crlmo until tho con
fession of tho dying man. nnd like overy
ouo fnmlllnr with tho murder supposed that
Mrs. Wurl hnd been killed by highwaymen.
Tho disclosures havo caused a sensation
throughout this section, as tho Wurls nnd
Krugers wero well connected nnd being
wealthy wcro nmong tho most prominent
citizens of tho southern part of the state.
