CATARRH of the rwpirstory organs is » common ailment In Canada for at least two-thirds of the year. This condition is no donbt caused by the long, severe winters experienced in this part of the continent. • Therefore, when Peruna was discovered by Canadian people to be a reliable remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals and in families* font in the great hospitals, where It was ujed as a preventive and relief in hundreds of cases. These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treatment of their poor and sick. Among these Institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsement: The Perun* Company, Columbus, Ohio, Having used Peruna for the put tew months, for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it has given us great satisfaction. The Slaters of the Good Shepherd, August M, 1903. • Montreal. After a continued use of the remedy, this institution has found no reason to ’,. change its good opinion of the remedy and expresses its satisfaction in the following terms: gM. ” ■’■ ■

Montreal, Noy. 7,1903. We found Peruna a relief in several cases. We can say It Is a good tonic and we are very thankful. Sisters of the Good Shepherd. When catarrh once fastens Itself upon the system it becomes an obstinate disease to eradicate. A systemic remedy—one that reaches 1 every Internal organ of the body—is an absolute necessity. Peruna is Just such a remedy. 6 It searches out the cause of the disease, healing and strengthening the mucous membranes, and thus giving Nature an -opportunity to perform her part of the restorative process. One of the many hospitals which have found Peruna of value in treating old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write as follows: “We are happy to tell you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three patients have tried it, one 68 years old Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is much relieved, more than he has been for a number of years. “A young girl, IS years old, had an obstinate cough, which half a bottle of Peruna caused to disappear. “As to myself, two bottles have convinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic.

But nature has not crowned every woman with glorious hair. Some very loveable women she has treated rather scantily In this respect. For instance, there are tens of thousands of women in America today who have harsh, faded and lustreless hair, who are unattractive simply because they do not know that nowadays even the whims of nature can be overruled by the genius of science. If you are a woman without beautiful hair, do not permit your attractions to be hidden because of this slight misfortune. Go today to Holthouse Drug Co. and buy a large bottle of Parisian Sage for 50 cents', use It each night, and you will notice the harsh, repulsive hair disappear, and in its place will come sofe, silky, bright and luxuriant hair. Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Holthouse Dtug Co. to cure dandruff. Itching of the scalp, and stop falling hair in two weeks, or tnoney back. i “ | Linemen were busy again today re- j pairing the telephone and electric; wires which havp been severed : over | the city as a copsequence of the severe storm. There is much work ahead to be done before all patrons of the systems will have service. The weather continues disagreeable and but few people are seen on the streets. • j

experiencing much fatigue. Now I can « 1 walk a mile easily. i “Through these three cases we desire , to make known to the public the efficiency of your remedy.” Hospital St. John, of St. Johns. ( *'«— Province of Quebec. A later letter received from the same ' institution reads as follows: “Three weeks ago I wrote to tell you how satisfactory we found Peruna. We recommend it highly for colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia. “I have used it myself as a tonic with the bestxesults, taken as directed, half a teaspoonful every half hour.” Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurn, Sask., N. WtT., Canada, writes: “I suffered with internal catarrh until I wrote to Dr. Hartman, and after taking treatment as he advised, I can say I am now cured of this most trying affliction, for which I am truly thankful. I think Peruna the best medicine for catarrh. I never felt better in my life than I do at present.” Peruna not only promptly relieves coughs and colds in their first stages, but is equally prompt and efficient for catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage. Os course, it is only reasonable to suppose that a great deal ess medicine will be necessary to cure a slight attack of catarrh than would be required to 1 relieve the ailment after it had been ali lowed to become chronic.

ACTUAL STARVATION. ■t t >!. ' y-a yjf i Ths Smith, Yager A Falk Drag Co. Give Facte Regarding Dyepepela. — Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and cure. There is no reason why • people should not eat anything they desire —if they will only chew it carefully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sickness through fear of eating every gpodt looking, good-smelling and goodtasting food,because It does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia. If wo refuse every article of food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find ourselves chronic dyspeptics. We can cure Dyspepsia. We are so confident of this fact that we guarantee a cure, and promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to every one who will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with the results which it produces. We exact no promises, and put no one under any obligation whatever. Surely,’’nothing could be fairer. We are located right here In Decatur, and our reputation should be sufficient assurance of the genuineness of our offer. We want every one in Decatur who is troubled with Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reasonable trial, according to directions. They are very pleasant to take; they soothe the iri rltable stomach, strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, prof mote a healthy and natural bowel : aettion, .immediately relieve nausea and all stomach irritation, produce perfect and healthy digestion and assimilation, and promote nutrition. A 25c packaged Rexall Dyspepsia [ Tablets furnishes 15 days’ treatment j In ordinary cases, this is sufficient , to produce a cure. In more chronic j cases, a longer treatment, of course, is necessary, and depends upon the severity bf the trouble. For such cases, we have two larger sizes which ' sell for 35c and 89c.
