STATE CAPITOL, MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.
Pe-ru-na Is the greatest catarrh
remedy of the ago; In fact, the only
scientific Internal remedy for catarrh
yet devised.
Governor Johnston, of Alnbama,
writes tho following In regard to Pe-ru-na,
the great catarrh remedy:
State of Alabama,
Governor's Office. July 26, 1899,
"I Join General Wheeler and Con
gressman Brewer In commending Pe-ru-na."
Jos. J. Johnston."
Department of State,
Montgomery, Alabama.
"I take pleasure In testifying to the
virtues of Pe-ru-na and recommend Its
use to those who suffer from the need
of a tonic. Itobert P. McDavId,
"Secretary of State for Alabama."
State of Alamaba,
Treasury Department.
Montgomery, July 26, 1S99.
"I have used Pe-ru-na for catarrh
and can cheerfully testify to Its bene
ficial effects. Respectfully.
- "Geo. W. Ellis,
"State Treasurer of Albania."
State of Alabama,
House of Representatives,
Montgomery.
"Pe-ru-na cured me of Indigestion
and biliousness nnd I continued to
tuke It and have found It an excellent
tonic. I take pleasure In recommend
ing It as an excellent household rem
edy. Very respectfully,
"Horace Hood."
This is a fair indication of the repu
tatlon that Pe-ru-na enjoys through
out the whole United States. Every
where everybody Is praising It.
All over the South ns well as the
North there Is plenty of catarrh. Few
people are entirely free from It. Ca
tarrh Is a disease that may Invade nny
part of the body. Every organ of tho
body Is subject to catarrh. Catarrh Is
ns liable to be caused by hot weather
as cold weather. Pe-ru-na goes
straight to tho mark and cures the
disease by removing the cause, Pe-ru-na
cleanses, strengthens and rejuven
ntes every mucous membrane of, the
body. Address Dr. Hartman, Colum
bus, O., for free books on catarrh, .

Valuable Timber Destroyed by For
est Fires.
Bellfifonte, Pa., Oct. 24. It has been
five weeks since rain has fallen in this
pectlon and the forests of Centre coun
ty are ugnlu being swept by flru. Yes
terday morning fire started on the Al
legheny mountains nnd the (lumen soon
spread over thousands of acrts of land
destroying many thousands of dollars
worth of best (iiinllty of timber. Iast
night tho mountain east ot Bnow Shoe
wus a seethlnir mass of names.
Hunting camr have been abandoned
and woodsmen on lurnber Jobs have
dropped their work and turned to sav
ing the sawmlllH froin dentructlon. In
different parts of tho county tonight
people nre fighting hard to keep tho
llamc-i from reaching their homfs.
There have been many instances of
families narrowly escaping serious In
Jury from the flames.
