MISS ANNIE CATRON. CATARRH MADE LIFE A BURDEN TO ME. FISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St., A Cincinnati,. Ohio, writes: “As | have found Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, 1 am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. “Catarrh. such as I suffered from. made life a burden to me. my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that 1 was usually troubled with a %cadache, and although 1 tried many so-called remedies, nothing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was sug- gested to me. “However. I did buy a bottle, and before that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until 1 was completely cured in a month's time, and I. find that my general health is also excellent.” People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets.

In the fall and early winter a goose market is held at Warsaw, and geese to the number of 5,000,000 congregate in the town. The geese march to market on foot. Some come from 100 to 150 miles away. To protect the feet on this long journey they are shod. The gooseherd first makes them walk back and forth in melted tar. With a coat of tar on their feet they then walk through fine sand. The result is that they are shod with a good, strong shoe of mixed tar and sand, that protects them well on their journey to the Warsaw goose market. —Philippine Gossip. | IX¢ | four i No and Central | Rhodesia. i his story, for | petent to give valuable testimony on k and a retreat- | of some certain, well fixed char- | as | inter- | ont~ | | adapted | cotton proper. - cu | round, | for { that. high | ant.
