Chronic Bronchitis.
Mrs. Clara 1.. Miller, Hox 71, Columbia
Sta., Heattle, Wash., formerly vleo pres
ident of Nkoopay Country Club, writes:
"Nine bottles of I'eruna cured me of a
protracted case of bronchitis. There U
no superior remedy that 1 know of, as
tho action of Peruna on tho vnsa motor
system of nerves Is very beneficial. It
increases tho tone of tho system and aids
uaturo to perforin ber functions.
'I have recommended H to a number

it a most elllcaclous medicine."
Nervous, Tired and Weak.
Mrs. Christina KuiuUalla, 4:h) Wlnslow
Ave., UufTalo, X. Y., writes: "I trust
every ono sufferinj; from systemic ca
tarrh will road this and profit by it.
"I was in a very bad condition indeed,
when I began to tako I'eruna, ana my
friends as well as myself wero very
much alarmed over my condition. I
was always nervous, could not sleep at
nijrht, my food did mo no pood, and I
was always tired and weak. I tried
several doctors, but found no relief.
"Finally I took two bottles of I'eruna
and felt like a different woman. How
ever, I did not stop there, but kept on
with it until I had taken several bottlea,
when I folt completely cared, and hare
remained so ever aluce. I can. eai and

have, would gladly have minimized
this disclosure; but it was too well
authenticated and too awful. So all
ot them "played it up strong." as
the newspaper slang goes, iwery
Republican newspaper in cnicago
published the facts in prominent
position and under "screaming"
headlines. Yet nothing could be
more significant of the continuance
of the times which began is
months ago, and came upon us
with a crash about a year ago. The
fact that these papers published
this report so prominently indicates
that they could not escape it, tor
tne Republican newspapers ot
Chicago are not alert to publish
disasrreeable information just De
caUse it hanpens to be important to
their readers. The conditions exist,
thev are demonstrated, ana tney
are dreadful. And no doubt these
conditions amotie school children
in Chicago exist everywhere. JNo
doubt they exist among otners

Mrs.Mariatioertz.Oricnta.Oklahoma,
w rites: "My husband, children and my
self have used your medicines, and wo al
ways keep them in tho hoiiso in caso of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and Dr. llartmun' in
valuable advlco and books. People
ask about mo from different places, and
aro surprised that I can do all of my
housework alone, and that I was cured
by the doctor of chronio catarrh. My
husband was cured of asthma, my
daughter of earache and catarrh of the
stomach, and my son of catarrh of the
throat. When I was sick I weighed 100
pounds; now I welch 110.
"Dr. Hartman's remedies have proven
to bo reliable and wonderful. Their
effect upon the system is remarkable.
Peruna quiets the nerves, and is a great
specific for all forms of chronio catarrh.
"I am very glad to Bay that I can
write you that I am cured in every way
ot catarrh, with which I bad suffered
1 Urriblv for ten years. I cannot thank
