We are still wishing for those long talked of gravel roads. It would be one of the most beneficial improvements that this section of the country could make. It is the condition of the roads that indicates to a traveler the ingenuity of the people, and they also bring to more or less advantage the wellfare of all business. If the farmers and citizens of Decatur would be more liberal and go together and improve the roads, they would soon be the most prosperous improvement that could be made. They would bring trade from places that have been going to Van Wert and other places, and again,they would be the means of regulating the markets better than they have been. As it is when the roads are so bad the farmers can not very well bring anything to market until they are good and then they

Marshall is a neat little city of 7,(X)0 population in the State of Texas. Among its many enterprising merchants is Mr. V.E. Wyatt. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Mr. Wyatt says: “I have been afflicted with la grippe four times and the last time was worse than the first. I began to think, after trying several remedies without any relief, that the disease could not be cured. Two years ago was the last

time I had an attack of it. I decided to try Pe-ru-na and got six bottles. The first bottle I took did me more good than all the medicines I had taken before. I recommend Pe-ru-na to all who are suffering with any disease it is

advertised to cure. I am well and stout now. I want everybody afflicted as I was to know of the wonderful merits of Peru na” Unless treated by Pe-ru-na, la grippe leaves the system in a deplorable condition. It completely demoralizes the nervous system, deranges digestion and disturbs nearly every function of the body. Pe-ru-na is a perfect specific for this condition. It is an admirable remedy for the after-effects of la grippe. . . , For further testimonials, see book entitled “Facts and Faces,” sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.
