Wm. Bennett and Mack A CLERGYMAN'S STORY Came Near Losing His Life--How He Escaped The following letter was recelved by The Peruna from Rev. G. W. Roberts, R.

R. 2, Box 27, Hartsell, Alabama, under date of April 2, 1904, which is exactly nine years ago. He says: "I take pleasure in informing you of what your Peruna has done for me after three years, of REV. G. W.

ROBERTS, R. R. 2, Box 27, Hartsell, Ala. suffering. had tried the treatments of several doctors, also home remedles, but they failed and all hope had gone.

My friends, like myself, thought I was in the last stages of consumption. "My daughter brought me a bottle of Peruna and plead with me to try it. I had got so weak I had lost my voice, and I thought it no use. That was in May, 1902. I began to take it, according to directions.

I wrote to you, and you gave me your kind advice. "I soon felt better, my cough began way, and the expectoration lessened. I have taken fourteen bottles. I feel well, eat hearty, sleep soundly, weigh as much as I ever did, do considerable work on my farm, and attend to my other business. My friends seem astonished at my recovery.

"I wish to thank you for your kind advice and the books you have sent me. I shall ever praise your medicine and hope that you may enjoy long life." It will be observed that Rev. Roberts waited two years after he began to use Peruna, before he wrote the above letter to The Peruna Co. So that his apparent recovery could not possibly have been temporary relief. In a later letter to The Peruna dated September 22, 1906, Rev.

Roberts says: hame great friend of Peruna. By of Dr. Hartman's advice I am here to-day, able to be with my family and attend my to business." Sinclair were in charge of car checking during Mr. Pierce's absence. Louis Niemeyer left for a visit at the World's Fair and at Louisville, Kentucky.

Johnson Nickeus' big safe was shipped to Washington, also his law library. The family left during the week. NEEDS NEW COURT HOUSE. Steele, Oct. county officials are confronted with the court house problem.

The old building is in such a dilapidated condition that contractors estimate that it We quote from another letter, dated December 10, 1906: "I praise Peruna to all the sick. The people know my case, and they praise it also." In a letter dated November 22, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Peruna gave me back my life ten years ago. All my acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful to you for your kindness." In a later letter, dated January 13, 1910, he says: "I shall ever in the future, as in the past, be ready to speak in praise of Peruna to all sufferers.

I believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others being cured in this county." From a letter of September 5, 1911, we quote a few words: "I am still among the living. As to Peruna, I do not feel that I have words to express the faith I have in its merits. I feel that Peruna has means, through the kind providence of God, of prolonging my life for more than ten years." We quote a still later letter, October 31, 1912. He says: "I took a severe cold three weeks ago. I at once sent for Peruna.

Have been taking it two weeks. I am now better. I consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in reference to Peruna." We quote from his last letter, dated January 2, 1913: "Dear Friends: I wish this bright New Years to press my thanks to you for your kindness. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a blessing to many as it has to me, I am yours as ever, G.

W. Roberts, Hartsell, Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box 27." It is not necessary for us to add any words to this story.

The eloquence and pathos of these letters are more convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the clergyman's story? Who can doubt that Peruna saved his life? Every home should be provided with the last edition of the "Ills of Life," sent free by the Peruna Columbus, Ohio. cost at least $20,000 to make it itable, and after that it will only be suitable for a few years. The jority of the tax payers insist on a new building. It is probable the matter will be submitted to the voters this fall.
