[SYSTEMIC CATARRlT S2^MrooS
Claims Many Thousands. A Tragedian’s Thanks to Pe-ru-na.
ROBERT DOWNING, THE FAMOUS TRAGEDIAN.
In speaking of Peruna, Robert Down
ing. the famous tragedian, says:
“I find Peruna a preventative against
all sudden summer ills that swoop upon
one in changing climates and water. It
is the finest traveling companion and
safeguard against malarial influences.
“You may notice that persons in poor
health always find the heat most intol
0>rat>le; this I avoid by using Peruna. I
imow ,by the thermometer that the
freather-rrdio., yet i have felt the heat
less this summer than ever.
“The cooling action of Peruna on the
mucous membrane makes it invaluable
to actors and singers, as it does away
With that tendency to sudden hoarseness
so apt to overtake one on emerging from
a hot dressing room to a draughty
stage.
“To sum it up, Peruna has done me
more good than any tonic 1 have ever
taken.”—Robert Downing.
Dr. Hartman was the first physician
in the United States to accurately de
scribe systemic catarrh. His remedy
Peruna, the only systemic catarrh rem
edy yet devised, is now known all over
the civilized world. A person having
used it once can never be persuaded to
be without it when in need of such a
remedy.
Write for a copy of Dr. Hartman’s
latest book entitled “Summer Catarrh.”

CACHE RIVER IM
PROVEMENT PROJECT.
A movement has been started
to bring about the improvement
of Cache river in Arkansas, and
to this end an important meeting
has been called for next Tuesday
in Brinkley. It is estimated that
there are half a million acres in
Cache river valley which could
be made available for agricultural
purposes by introducing the levee
protection system and the open
ing of the stream to all-the-year
round navigation. Of course it
will be necessary to secure a
congressional appropriation, and
the improvement plans contem
plate locks and dams. It is said
that the next legislature will be
asked to create a Cache river
levee district similar to that in
existence in the St. Francis dis

PAMCAIPB CURES
RHEUMATISM.
Cost Nothing If it Fails.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
camph, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modern
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the seat of the ailment soothing
the inflamed skin, muscles and joints re
ducing^ he swelling by removing the con
: gestiou, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores oftheskin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
i strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine
the general health. , Our guarantee is
made to convince you of our faith in Par
I acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly in many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a
bottle of Paracamph today, and after two
or three applications you will be convinced
that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.
Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50
cent and $1.00 bottles. The larger sizes
are cheaper for family use. Write for
book of testimonials. The Paracamph
