“I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. “I took the medicine for two years, then 1 got sick again and gave up all hopes of getting cured. “I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a I trial. “I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured. I “/ have gained in strength and' , feel like a different person.

Sleep medicines and headache powders are all alike,—heart depressants, and should not be used. The nerves would be all right, if the digestion were good. Peruna corrects the digestion.

OHIO PARTY WELL PLEASED. With Their Recent Trip to this City. Th e Sun, published at New Bremen, Ohio, gave a two column story on the recent annual interurban meeting held here, saying in part: To a number of New Bremen residents who perhaps heretofore had thought of the Fort Wayne and Springfield Railway company as a sort of a vague prospect undertaken by their friends have now com e to the realization of the fact that the road is a reality, and more that it is an undertaking on the road to financial success. A junketing tour was undertaken last Saturday morning by ten representative business and professional men of New Bremen ta attend the annual stockholders’ meeting, and the following annual banquet of the Fort Wayne and Springfield Railway com; any at Decatur, Ind., and the writer of this article having been one of the party, he need not hesitate to say that the treatment received at the hands of the officials of the company was par excellence, while the general impression of the party of visitors gained from the business of the company during the day’s visit is a very good one. • o Word wafe received Saturday from Blanche (Ris) Elzey that they were pleased with their trip to Kingfish?’?, Okla., and find the place a prosperous city.

STOPPED WILD HORSE i ' That Was Plunging Madly Down Street at Bluffton i A piece of heroism that perhaps saved the life of an eight-year-old boy and without adoubt prevented a seri- , ous accident was performed by Veru . Smith, a son of Charles Smith of this i city. Driving alone in a buggy to which the Clem Brineman horse was hitched, Charles McKee, a son of MacMcKee, a local blacksmith, was going east on Market street. The animal started to run, but not rapidly, but the boy, thoroughly frightened, began yelling and calling for help as the outfit went east on Market street, and by the time it was opposite the J. H. C. Smih office, was plunging along at a rapid gait. Passersby rushed out, but were unable to get near the animal. A block away Vern Smith was standing by the street sprinkler, which he was filling from a hydrant for use on the streets. He at once saw the danger, and stationing himself directly in the path of the terrified horse, swung onto the bridle as it came by, and hanging there, brought it to a standstill. To onlookers it was one of the nerviest feats they had ever seen. Smith is a small boy, and the horse, one formerly owned by Del Locke, a powerful, heavy animal. In the struggle Smith badly sprained one of his fingers, but no other damage ; resulted. The boy in the rig kept bold , of the lines, but crouched in the seat, 1 was badly frightened. However, he j showed his nerve in not trying to jump from the buggy, but remained to do his best to check the course of the i horse. —Bluffton Banner. i ——o Any 12 Year Old Girl 1 Can make those delicious J Lemon, Chocolate and Cus- ] tard pies as well as the more t experienced cook if she uses t “OUR-PIE” preparation, which is now sold by nearly J all grocers at 10 cents per ’ package.
