MANY RELIABLE WITNESSES
i - - j ,
Prove That Old Cases of Chronic Catarrh
Can Be Cured.
HALF THE ILLS
Catarrh of Long Standing
is One of the Most
Stubborn Diseases to
Cure.
A Medicine That Will
Cure Such Cases De
serves a Very High
Place in the Annals of
Medical Discovery.
Such a Medicine is le
runa. 1'HOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouting in every dpy of old cose3
of chronic catarrh that have re
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Per una.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo
ple. A large proportion of these letters
are written by men and women promi
nent In business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known
from ocean to ocean.
Take, for Instance, Colonel Jobn
Franklin "Waters, who occupies a prom
inent position among- the lending trial
lawyers of Chicago. He has probably
obtained more verdicts ngalnst corpor
ations In suits for personal injuries
than any man of his nge in the United
States, and during his practice of over
fifteen years he lias not lost a single
case In the Supreme courts of Illinois
and Missouri. He is a hard worker
and has the energy of four men.
For a number of years he had bpen
ufllicted with chronic catarrh and hav
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an Interview was ob
tained with him by one of our report
ers in which be gave the following
statement to the public:
Chicago, 111., Aug. 6, 1900.
The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus. O.:
Gentlemen "It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the merits of
such a worthy remedy for catarrh
as your Peruna. I had suffered for
a number of years from this very
disagreeable disease and had tried
many so-called remedies, hut until
I used Feruna none had. the desired
effect. I feel that I am perfectly
cured and can cheerfully recommend
Peruna to any one suffering from
catarrh."
JOHN F. WATERS,
120 E. Randolph St., Chicago, 111.
Another case equally well-known In
Chicago, Is reported through a letter
from a veteran Railroad man.
JERMYN ANDA1AYFIELD.
A very enjoyable evening was spent
at the Sweeney house, Thanksgiving
night, when tho RIchmondale Rovers
nnd a number of Proprietor John's
friends met there and celebrated their
victory over the big eleven of Jermyn.
About forty sat down to the excellent
supper provided by Mr. Johns, and
after the covers had been removed the
remnlnder of the evening was devoted
to singing und recitations by the Rov
ers and their friends. The Rovers de
parted leaving un impression that they
are a jolly lot of foot ball players and
a hard proposition to defeat. They
will always be welcome in this bor
ough. Mrs. Charles McGlnley.of Main street,
was pK-asamly surprised on Wednes
day evenlnrr, when about a dozen of
her friends diopped In, without any
previous notification of their coming,
and with n good supply of eatables
prepared to spend a social evening.
The made no mistake In anticipating
the manner In which they would be re
ceived and for several hours they bad
a most enjoyable tlmo together.
Mrs. Gwendolln Evans, the well
known preacher and singer, of Nelson,
N. Y will preach In tho Congregational
church tomorrow, both morning and
evening. Mrs. Evans visited this bor
ough nbout two years ago und at that
tlmo her preaching and singing both
left a deep Impression upon her hear
ers. Andiow Lindsay, of Third street, Is
laid up with blood poisoning, the re
