CAUGHT BY THE GRIP. RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.

LA GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. It spares no class or nationalty. The cultured and the ignorant, tho aristocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are liable. Have yon the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you ? Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read “grip.” Without intending to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful Grip had clutched us In its fatal clasp. Men, women, childr. 11. whole towns and cities are caught in tho baneful grip of a terrible monster. Tha following letters speak for them-

FAIR OAKS TO PARR.

Speaking of that little article we noticed in the Parr items of last week: Judging by the tone of the gentleman’s writing he isn’t posted—as there are 14 teachers in tbe township instead of 13 as he says; and wherein he says it was convenient to the majority of the teachers, he don't know that the teachers all voted for the institute to be at Fair Oaks, except three or four. And fuithermore, there isn't a single schoolbouse south of tbe line road running east and west through here. On the other hand, there are five schools north of the line road running past Fair Oaks, and three of those teachers can come here on the C. & E. I. railroad and return on the same day, while those from the south that cau come up for 15 cents on the milk train and return on same, and those that have horses can drive to Fair Oaks as well as 1 1 Parr. We have two feed and livery stables, fully as good as Parr; we have two good hotels, so there would be no need for any to 'carry their dinner with them. We will admit that they have more gravel roads to get to Parr 011, aud if it badti’t been greatly to Barney’s interest they would not have got them, tor which he used a great portion of our share of tax mpney to ouild them; and thfen be wasn't satisfied, along near tbe end of his term he run our township in debt S9OO to $1,200 to help build one mile around from Amos Alter’s, running south past Dave Yeoman’s farm, so he (Barney) would have gravel roads to go to Rensselaer, on if "Burk’s bridge^.was under water.

selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in cases of la grippe or its after effects. After Effects of La Grippe Eradicated by Pe-ru-na. Mrs. Fred Weinberger, "Westerlo, Albany County, N. Y., writes: “Several years ago I bad an attack of la grippe which left my nerves in a prostrated condition. Then I had another attack of la grippe which left me worse. I had tried three good physicians but all in vain. I gave Peruna a trial. In a short time I was feeling better and now I am as well as anyone.”—Mrs. Fred Weinberger. Hon. James R. Galll of Omaha. Hon. James R. Gnill is one of the oldest and most esteemed men of Omaha, Neb. He has done much to make it

We have one new school-house in the north end of the township; that is furnished with old, broken desks, taken out of school houses in the south end of the township. They were not good enough to be put in a “civilized community,” but were good enough to put in a Holland settlement. About one third of the seats in our schoolhouse here in Fair Oaks are the same kind above mentioned. We would also like to tell the gentleman that we have visited institute at Parr and there wasn’t a single visitor there except ourselves. Mr. Parr was very narrow-minded and selfish or he would be willing that some one else should share some of the benefits derived from visiting institutes. He also speaks of there being enticing, inviting qualities to draw the people to Pair, that Fair Oaks has not got. We don’t know what they have ahead ot Fair Oaks. We have three general stores aud one drug store. The latter is something they have not got. Now if these are not what he has reference to, surelv it is the saloon aud pool room, but in tnat we have just as many as they have. It surely can’t be churches, for we have one more than they, so we feel the gentleman must be in error some. We do not write this to cause any ill feeling at ail, but merely to show that he.is “off” a little.

C., has the honor of being third cousin to Abraham Lincoln. Hewjites:

I can now do as much work at my desk as I ever could in my life. I have gained more than ten pounds in weight.”—S. S. Lincoln. Pe-ru-na Not Only Cured La Grippe but Benefited the Whole System. Miss Alice M. Dressier, 1313 N. Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: “Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured but the bad after efteetg_remained through the summer and 6omdhqwJdid not get strong as I was before.' One of my college friends who was visiting me asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cared me of the catarrlt but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire system and brought a happy feeling of buoyancy which I had not known for years.”—Alice M. Dressier.

Miss Jean Cowgill, Griswold Opera House, Troy, N. Y., is the leading lady with the Aubrey Stock Co. She writes the following: “During the past winter of 1901, I suffered for several weeks from a severe attack of grippe, which left a serious catarrhal condition of the throat and head. “Some one suggested Peruna. As a last resort, after wasting much time and money on physicians, I tried the remedy faithfully, and in a few weeks was as well as ever.”—Jean Cowgill. A Southern Judge Cured. Judge Horatio J. Goss, Hartwell, Ga., writes: “Some five or six years ago I had a very severe spell of grippe, which left me with systemic catarrh. A friend advised me to try your Peruna which I did, and was immediately benefited and cured. The third bottle completed tha cure.”—ll. J. Goss.

You can't hardly go up town any more without seeing some one with a piece of paper and pencil in hand, down on his knees or up against the side of some building, putting thereon his "John Hancock.” Coming a little closer someone will say, “here, sign this!” "What is it you want me to sign?” He will say “a remonstrance against the Nichols bill;’’ or a remonstrance against secession; or a paper for the Farmer's Mutual Telephone company, or for some road or ditch, and they all sign; except those that don’t.
