HER PHYSICIANS DESPAIRED. ADVISED CHANGE OF CLIMATE. Pe-ru-na, Used as a Last Resort, Cured Her of a Severe Attack of Catarrh of the Lungs. MRS. IDA CALDWELL.

The Sensational Cure of Mrs. Caldwell Is the Talk of Her Acquaintances. Mrs. Ida Caldwell, 506 Pearl street, Sioux City, la., Vice-President Order of Washington, writes: “I suffered with catarrh of the reapiratory organs off and on for the last three years until I thought it was chronic. My chest and lungs were irritated and I had to use the greatest care not to expose myself to chilly air or dampness as it increased my troubles. “My physician advised me to try a change of climate, but l was unable to leave my family. Reading of the wonderful cures performed by Peruna, I bought a bottle. ••it was with the greatest satisfaction that I found It the one medicine among them all which cured me. 1 was relieved within three days and after two months and a half the irritation was gone, my lungs perfectly healed and my health restored.”—lda Caldwell.

GOOD NAME WORTH $5.00.

Valuation Placed On It By a Manufacturer Of Pianos. While you are reading these lines, somebody may be selling | your name for five dollars. This fine price for a fair name has been fixed by one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the country and there is now a lively search going on in this vicinity for names of the kind that are marketable at this figure. The enterprising manager of a big piano house at Indianapolis recently decided that he would find out how many people in the state of Indiana needed pianos. It occurred to him that every person really needing and wanting a new instrument, would probably know of five other households in the same fix, so he made an announcement in the leading papers of the state to the effect that the sender of five such names would be given a $25.00 due bill or cash i certificate, just as good as $25 00 j in gold in the purchase of a new piano. The plan was both new and well conceived and proved to be an immediate success. Such an offer, if made by a house of little reputation would not have much meaning as it would be possible to inflate the price of a piano about $25.00 when selling an instrument to the holder of one of the certificates, but coming from an establishment of high repute which has a standard price on each piano of its manufacture (that price marked in plain figures) the offer is the exact equivalent of $25 00 in cash for the five names. The holders of the certificates may enter the salesrooms of the company as total strangers, and make their selection before exhibiting the document which makes a payment of $25.00 on the purchase. It is therefore, a good deal like finding the money and if it takes a whole day to discover five families who have old pianos or none at All, that day is well spent. Few of us make as much as $25.00 a day at our regular occupations. This offer is made by The Starr Piano Company of Indiani apolis. By request of the Manager, Mr. Herman S. Spain, we republish the announcement in today’s issue together with a blank i form or coupon for writing in the , names.
