Webster loat "in his own precinct, but won in the other three. It is conceded that Senator O'Neill and Representatives Warner and Mockett will be nominated.

Ia a recent letter from t00 Michigan avenue, Chicago, III.. Mr. Moody says tbs following: For over twenty-five years r I suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years I suffered froan catarrh of the stomach terribly. "I have taken all kinds of medi cines and have been treated by pall kinds of doctors, as thousatnds of ray . acquaintances are awar in different parts of the United Mates, where I bare traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a lljtle over a year ago I started to take Pcruna. and at the present time I am better than I have been tor twenty years. "The soreness has left my stom ach entirely and I am free from ladlgestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubles with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Pcruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. "My wife, as many In tbe southwest ran say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the t country gave her up to die, ss they could do nothing more for her. She began tak ing Peruna with tbe result thst she 1 bet ter now than she baa been in years, and her cough baa almost left her entirely. The soreness ha left her lung and she Is as well as she ever was In her life, with thank, as she says, to Peruna. Tours very truly. T. P. MOODY." Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy ha been discovered by Dr. Hart man. This remedy ha been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prom inent men have come to know of its virtues and are making public utterances on the subject. To save tbe country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. Tbe dis ease that is at once tbe most prevalent and stubborn of cure Is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh. in d iff ere m. locations and organs, the re in different locations and oragans. the re sult would be astonishing. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise caused by the first publica tion of It to all people, both professional and non-professional was amusing. And f CONSTIPATION It is surprising how allow themselves to become and remain consti pated. They apparently do not know that thia . . condition poisons tbe entire system. N'ot irame-, ,i ' diately of course, but after a little time at tbe pot- . aonous impurities accumulate tbey attack tbe vital organs and undermine the constitution. Ante- ! suit, the victim becomes pale,-hollow-eyed and callow, the breath is foul, the head aches fre- quently, the strength slowly declines and the once strong, active body becomes weak and nervous. Prickly Ash Bitters is a cleansing tonic and restorative just suited to such conditions. It is a genial stimulant for the stomach, liver and bowels, purifies the system thor oughly and invigorates "the kidneys, conveying strength and new life to the whole internal organ ism. Under its marvelous reviving influence there is at once a brightening up in body and brain, re newed energy, strength, vim and cheerfulness. 1 SOLD AT DRUG STORES.
