The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916.

Goepel, of Nelson, Canadian agent for the Maple Leaf brand of gutta percha blasting fuse, was here Wednesday, on his first trip through the Boundary, being much pleased with the outlook for this section. Darcy Weatherbe, field man for the Mining and Scientific Press, of San Francisco, was a visitor in camp last Saturday, and took a look at theGran- oy mines. He also visited the B. C. Copper and Granby smelters. Mr. Weatherbe is a technical man of ten years' experience in Nova Scotia, and will represent his paper from Mexico :o the Yukon. Total $2,011,448 $1,779,428 Liabilities.

According to all reports, the C.P.R. is preparing to begin active construction on its line west from Midway this spring. Grand Forks has established a nine hour day for street work, instead of ten, as heretofore, pay to be 30 cents per hour. Lots are selling in the new town of Franklin City, in Franklin camp, and James Anderson has applied for a hotel license for that location. James Bruno, an employee of the Granby smelter, had his collar bone broken last week by being caught between a wall and a feed car of No. 6 furnace. Married, at Grand Forks, February 20th, by Rev. Father Bedard, of Greenwood, Miss Kate Hanley, of Seattle, and Michael Tompkins, the itter being an old employee of the Granby smelter. Alderman II. Bunting and W. B. Fleming have l> en appointed license commissioners for Greenwood, and Alderman Robert Mathison and James Sutherland have been appointed polic\" commissioners of the same city. Midway already announces a >.fth of May celebration in that town, and inasmuch as there are likely to be many things doing thereabouts 6\"y that time, there is no reason why it should not be a success. There is nothing like starting in good time. Martin Burrell, editor of the Grand Forks Gazette, will represent the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association at the Dominion fruit growers' convention to be held at Ottawa the latter part of March, under the presidency of Hon. S. A. Fisher, minister of agriculture. The estimate for construction and repairs on C.P.R. lines of the Kootenay division during 1906 amounts to about $500,000. A large proportion of this sum is intended for the.strengthening or renewal of bridges on that portion of the road in the Boundary country. Grand Forks people are pleased at the announcement that the Kettle Valley lines will extend its road up the North Fork of Kettle river this Spring and summer. This line will be brought across Kettle river shortly and a new station built in the heart of the city\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the Great Northern and C. P. R. stations being on the outskirts. Total $2,011,448 $1,779,428 From Boston comes the information that the annual report of the Bntisb Columbia Copper Co. shows net profits for the year ended November 30th, 1905, of $102,907. Balance on December ist, 1904, was $88,921, making surplus oP$ 101,828.. President Underwood is reported as saying: Against our profits for the past year have been charged large sums for the extensive developments which have been going on in preparation for trebling the output of the Mother Lode mine. Development work has disclosed large bodies of ore of higher grade than that upon which we have been operating. This ore will become available upon the completion of the company's new smelting plant. The machinery for this plant has all been contracted for, deliveries to begin the latter part of March, and complete installation is expected during the coming summer. The new plant will have a capacity of 50,000 tons per month as compared with 18,000 tons per month with the present plant. Both the mines and smelting plant will have full electrical equipment. The company is entirely free from debt with the exception of current bills at the mines and smelter. During the year there have been sold 37,500 shares of treasury stock, proceeds of which have been spent upon the new properties and plant. It may be stated that over $93,000 was spent during the year for development work, all of which was charged to operating expenses. J. Marshall Appointed Acting Mayor. At Wednesday's bi-weekly of the city council there were Aldermen Marshall, Brown, Kane and McKenzie. As Rumberger is absent from the city Alderman Marshall was appoinied as acting mayor and took the chair. Drs. Gordon and Boucher sent in their account for acting as medical health officers for the city from December 15th to February 21st, amounting to $1,000, accompanied by tbeii resignation which latter was accepted. Tbe account was laid over, the communication accompanying it being as follows : Phoenix, B.C., Feb. 21, 1906. His' Worship the Mayor, and City Council, of Phoenix. Sirs:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWe have the honor to report on work accomplished re the recent epidemic of typhoid and resign our appointments as medical health officers. As to the sewerage situation, we have wired to Dr. Fagan, the secretary of the Provincial Board of health, and received word from him that it will take time to send us a sanitary engineer, and till such time as he could be consulted with we deem it advisable to make no recommendation, but leave lhe mattei in your hands and in the hands of the city medical health officer, should you appomt one. We have the honor to be, sirs, Your obedient servants, R. B. Boucher, G. S. Gordon. The clerk was directed to write to the minister of mine; regarding the regulation of the location of powder magazines near the city. This was done at the advice of Solicitor Gray. Chief of Police Flood and Officer Docksteader were authorized to collect the dog taxes. Mr. Flood presented a communication from the brass band, asking for aid to purchase instruments, and it was laid over. A communication was read from the provincial secretary notifying the council of the appointment of W. H. Docksteader as provincial constable without salary as long as he should be chief of police. Mr. Docksteader enjoyed his new honors exactly 24 hours, when Mr. Flood was appointed chief. On recommendation of the finance committee, the following accounts were ordered paid : M. Mclntyre, $44.85; Brooklyn hotel, $315; Pioneer Co., $2S; Dr. Bruere, $210. MR. HODGES AT VICTORIA Testified in the Power troversy. Con- Mining Notes Eight Hour Smelter Bill Defeated. Pub. Orfanlziflf a Brags Band. There has lately been a feeling that a brass band should be organized in this city, and Monday evening the movement resulted in a meeting at the city hall to consider the matter, when it was found that at least 25 old bandsmen are now residing here. The meeting was enthusiastic, J. A. Mc Master being chairman and M. V. Sherbino being elected secretary, and a number of speeches being made. After deciding that the time was propitious for taking up such an organization, it was decided to call it the Phoenix Fire Department Band, and to proceed at once with the securing of the necessary funds for purchasing instruments, the committee for this purpose being J. A. McMaster, C. H. F'lood, W. Pierce and M. V. Sherbino. The instruments needed will cost from $450 to $550, and this amount it is expected to raise without great-trouble. A committee on permanent organization, consisting of W. H. Docksteader, J. Marshall and J. A. McMaster, was appointed, and another meeting for the purpose indicated was called for Monday, March Sth. Before ibe Tariff Commission. Last summer when the Dominion tariff commission was in the Boundary on its western tour, and took testimony here regarding the lessening or abolishing of duty on certain imports which could not be obtained in Can uda, it was arranged that further details should be presented to the com mission at Ottawa. J. E. McAllister, manager of the British Columbia Copper Co., will probably leave for Ottawa today for the purpose of presenting the mattter to the commission. Plaintiffs Lost Both Cases. Two suits for Damages were heard before Mr. Justice Duff at the Nelson assizes this week, and in both cases the plaintiffs lost. The first of the two cases was that of John Dale against the B. C. Telephone Co. for $4,000 damages, on account of injuries received last June by running into a telephone pole near the first milk ranch below the city. The learned judge practically said, after hearing the evidence of the plaintiff and his witness and declining to allow the witnesses for defense to be called, that there was no case, and gave judgment for defendant. Mr. Hill sued the Granby Co for damages for the death of his son, Vernon Hill, who was killed at the Granby mines some months ago, while acting as brakeman on an ore train in the No. 2 tunnel. Evidence was given for the plaintiff, and the judge would not tiear the defence, taking the case from the jury, which had been drawn, saying lhat it was a case of contributory negligence, or words to that effect, and deciding for the delendant. Deputy Collector Appointed. William Delahay, the customs collector here, has recently been appointed deputy inland revenue collector for I'hoenix, and reports to J. E. Miller, the inland revenue collector at Vancouver. While the amount of inland revenue collections here is not large, it is a great convenience to those interested to do this business with a resident collector, rather than one located some miles distant at Greenwood or Grand Forks. Although there is no large demand at present for a bonded warehouse here, this will doubtless be arranged for in due time. Mr. Delahay's first duty in his new office was collecting the revenue on a car load of malt, which arrived here this week for the I'hoenix Brewing Co. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd A. B. W. Hodges, general superintendent of the Granby Consolidated, returned last Wednesday, having spent the last week or ten days on a trip to Victoria, where he went to testify before the private bills committee of tbe legislature, regarding the necessity of allowing the West Kootenay Powt r & Light Co. furnish electrical power for the Boundary mines and smelters. Besides Mr. Hodges, Manager J. E. McAllister, of the B. C. Copper Co., and President Warner Miiler, of the Dominion Copper Co., gave evidence, and F. E. Begg, of London, England, and Manager Fowler and Wm. Ander son spoke for the Cascade concern, which is seeking to curtail or prevent the supplying of power in the Boundary by the West Kootenay Co. The claim was and is made by the Cascade people that permitting the other company to furnish power here would mean the practical wiping out of the Cascade company, and at first they claimed that they could supply the needed power. When the testimony of the smelter officials was given, however, the Cascade people were forced to acknowledge that their abilities in the electrical power line are not equal to the demand, and would be far behind the demand in a short time-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdso great will be the increase this year by all three Boundary smelters and their mines Before the committee this week, when the final hearing was had, it was proposed to let the Cascade company distribute the surplus power that that company itself could not generate, it being acknowledged that such an arrangement would be a good thing for the Cascade company, but to the contrary for the West Kootenay concern. The committee has now taken all the testimony wanted, and the matter will come before the legislature for final action. There is no special disposition to do anything to wipe out the Cascade concern's investment, but it is felt generally that the other company must be permitted to do business in the Boundary, and that the march of progress in mining and imelting in the Boundary must not be hampered in future by lack of power\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdespecially when it can be readily had. Regarding the eight-hour smelter bill, the smelter superintendents who were at the capital did not overlook that. They were given to understand by both government and opposition last summer, that if the matter was not arranged between the employees and the employers before this session ofthe legislative assembly, such a bill would likely be introduced. The employers now feel that, the matter having been satisfactorily and amicably arranged before the legislature met, it is unwise to go into the question with statutes. When the vote on the bill was called on this week Thursday, it was defeated by 20 to 14. Driving the long tunnel on the Gold Bug is still being continued. Last week, in one certain 24 hours, the Great Northern took out 60 cars of Granby ore, or over 3,000 tons. One day this week the Granby smelter treated 2,850 tons of ore, being high water mark for this smelter. About 500 feet of diamond drill work have so far been done on the Belts and Hesperus group, which will be continued for the present. A Boston financial authority asserts that Granby shares are now on a six per cen' dividend basis, and seems to expect three per cent semi-annual dividends hereafter. The Rossiand Miner states that before the end of 1906 the Granby Co. will be using 5,000 h.p., the B.C. Copper Co., 2,000 h p., and the Dominion Copper Co, 2,000 h.p. In the tunnel being driven on the Iron Clad, Wellington camp, good galena ore has been encountered. The owners are \\V. J. Porter, G, W. Rumberger and Jack Farrell. It is expected that more work will be done this spring on the Monte Ciisto group, north of the city, acquir ed some time ago by the Granby Co., to prove the ore bodies. It is expected that the work of excavating for the extensive enlargements at the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter at Greenwood will be started next Monday, and be pushed vigorously till completed. A rich find of ore is reported from the B. C. mine located near West- bridge, 30 miles west of Midway. The vein runs from one to four feet in width, and carries as high as $1,978 per ton in gold and silver. A piece of giant powder went off in one of the furnaces of the Dominion smelter at Boundary Falls last week, damaging one of the water jackets and requiring repairs. Occasionally this happens in nearly all smelters. The work of starting shipments from the Granby's Gold Drop mine has been somewhat .delayed by trouble in promptly getting timber for the tramway, ore bins, etc.-. Lumber is coming in now, however, and in about a month, the Gold Drop will be shipping over the C. P. R., thus relieving the strain on the main Granby mines. Completing tbe Opera House. Phoenix Miners' Union No. S has decided to complete the lower floor or opera house portion of the large building as soon as possible, so that it may become a revenue producer at the earliest possible date. This week a force of six mtn was set to work on the interior, and it is hoped that in about a mnnth it can be put in shape so that it can be used, even if not then entirely completed. This far the union has spent $18,000 on the building, and when the opera house is fin illy and completely finished as intended, it will stand the union something like $20,000\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda credit alike to the union and to the city. Secretary Pickard states that there are still a few shares ef the building stock which can be had by anyone interested. Latest Prices in Metals.

It appears that the B. C. Copper Co. is well pleased with the results of shipments of ore from the Napoleon mine, at Boyd's, near Marcus, Wash., on which they have a bond, and which is being actively operated in charge of Harry Johns The sulphur contents of the ore are most acceptable as a flux, and the ore has been sent to both the B. C. Copper and Dominion snielters. A small development plant has recently been installed at tbe mine, consisting of a live-drill Rand compressor, 50 h.p. boiler, etc. The ore is hauled on wagons or sleighs to the railway siding, but the surveys have been made for both gravity und aerial trams. The long tunnel is now in over 200 feet. Camp. Pliocmx Phoenix .Deadwood .Deudwood 1900 \ufffd\ufffd4,553 397 <1 O O MINK. j ,, Granby Mines.... , Snowshoe tB. C Cupper Co.

Something else must be doing likewise, for,\naccording to the Review, the Boundary\nis shipping ore at the rate of a million\nand a quarter tons per day. Prodigious! When that is divided up among\nthe few hundred miners working in the\nBoundary district, we only appreciate\nthe strenuosity of the miner's life\u2014\neither that, or the Review does not\nknow what it is talking about.\n.' act\nWhen we recall the fale of that New\nYork man who became insane because\npossessed of two much filthy lucre, we\nare convinced that it is the part of\nwisdom to stick to the publishing business and avoid a similar fate.\na\u00ab\u00bb\nA. S. Hood, the realty and insurance agent, reports that the prospects\nfor the ereccion of new buildings this\nyear are more than bright, plans for\nsome of them being now arranged.\nOne two or three story structure will\nprobably be built on Knob Hill avenue\nfor business purposes, and work should\nbe under way in a short time. There\nis also probability that other business\nplaces will be erected on that avenue.\nIn addition to those that'are projected,\nothers are being talked of, to say nothing of several residences that announcements have been made will be\nbuilt. A deal is under way for the\ntransfer of a business property on Dominion avenue, and it is known that\nP. Burns & Co., Ltd., would be more\nthan willing to build a large central\nmarket if the right arrangements for\nthe site can be arrangd. The Miners'\nUnion will also doubtless, in due\ncourse, proceed with the finishing of\nthe commodious opera house part of\ntheir splendid structure. Taking it\naltogether, the sound ol the hammer\nand saw will be heard again in no\nsmall degree in Phoenix this year.\nRecently the Pioneer received a\ncheck from an Iowa bank, drawn on a\nChicago banking institution, for the\nsum of only 25 cents, in payment for\na copy of the recently issued l.ohday\nNumber of this weekly. Now, as the\ncost of cashing outside checks is about\n25 cents, the question arises as to\nwhat the editor of the Pioneer will do\nwith all this money. Receiving such\na large sum all at once, and in such a\ntangible form, is ralher embarrassing.\nProbably, however, it might be as well\nto frame and hang the check in the\npriming palace, is a warning to all and\nsundry how not to do it.\naw\nSeriously, however, the Pioneer has\nreceived many different kinds of\nmoney, so-called, for copies of that\nHoliday Number, which really seems\nto have caught on from the Atlantic to\nthe Pacific. Here's another. A Chicago man sent us some U.S. stamps\ntogether with a Province of Quebec\nregistration ten cent stamp, which latter\nwas evidently in use before confederation. Another man in Ontario sends\nus shinplasters for the Holiday edition,\netc., etc. But everyone of them had\nthe big number sent to them. Incidentally, there a few copies of the Holiday\nNumber left, and if the reader has\nanything that resembles money\u2014even\nas aforesaid\u2014he cannot invest it better\nthan in sending some of these copies\nto his friends in the east, to let them\nknow what kind of a country he is\nliving in. A-idefrom personal matters,\nit claims f> tell the whole story, and if\nfiiends o!\" ih j paper are to be believed,\nit pretty nearly accomplishes what it\naimed at. They can be had of any\nBoundary newsdealer.\n\u00ab\u00ab\u2022\nThe Spokane Chronicle gravely asks\nin two-inch letters on the first page,\n\"Will Jay P. Graves build a line from\nSpokane to the Sound ?\" And then it\nproceeds to elucidate why it, thinks the\nmanager of Granby Consolidated may\ndo this, having floated a little matter\nof $15,000,000 in the east for this\npurpose. Possibly, after all, Mr.\nGraves may run a trolley line from\nSpokane fo Phoenix Just to show what\nmay be done, and then give us .a third\nrailway.\nThe Nelson Daily News strongly\nopposes that city accepting any money\nfrom Andrew Carnegie for the construction of a free library in that town. At\none time or another Mr. Carnegie said\nthings about Canada that the Nelson\nNews did not like, and so forsooth,\nnone of the Carnegie millions shall be\nspent in Nelson if the News can help\nit. What difference does it make to\nthe average man or woman, who might\nuse such a library to the greatest possible advantage, what Mr. Carnegie\nthought or said ? Is not the library\njust as useful, whether he did or did\nnot say those things\u2014and doubtless\nhe is credited with statements that he\nnever uttered.\nWt have no small admiration for\nthe News, we must confess. Its editor\ndeserves success, and is gradually hewing it out. It has printed things that\nwe thought were much out of place,\nbut then we do not quit reading it on\nthat account. We hope we are too\nsensible for such a policy. And if\nAndrew Carnegie or the Daily News\nwishes to build a public library in\nPhoenix, let him come on. He'll get\na good Scotch welcome and a free site\nthrown into the bargain.\na\u00abe\nH. J.

A., Seattle.] \ufffd\ufffdr\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"M Trail blazer, pioneer, trapper, prospector, mining expert, orator, after- dinner speaker, winemaker and loyal friend\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsuch is Robert Allen Brown, of Grand Forks, whose interesting char acteristics have given him almost as great prominence as any other individual in British Columbia. The subject of this sketch is better known under the cognomen of \"Volcanic,\" or \"Sunset\" Brown. Wherever miners gather, mention of his name is sure to start a series of stories, not all of them at his expense. To narrate the adventures and hard ships \"Volcanic\" has experienced during the past twenty.years in the then unknown interior would fill u volume. Mr. Brown was the original locator of the famous Sunset mine on Copper mountain, in the Similkameen, and which is now being jointly developed by interests said to be allied with J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, and the British Columbia Copper Co. Mr. Brown is still the owner of the equally famous Volcanic \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-now Volcano\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmine, situated on the North Fork of the Kettle river, about twelve miles north of Grand Forks. I lis later clays have been devoted to fighting lawsuits single handed against a host of people, some of whom Mr. Brown has not hesitated to describe as \"parasites of the first water.\" It is worthy of note that he has never appeared in court as a plaintiff, and his vast mineral wealth naturally resulted in efforts on the part of various individuals to tie him up. Mr. Brown is of a confiding and unsuspicious turn of mind, and it is estimated by friends that the entanglements of which he has been the victim have cost him over a million dollars. At fll! events, Mr. Brown's name is indissolubly linked with the early history of the Kootenays and the Boundary district. He was born at St. Martin's, N.B., in 1S49. His mother, now aged eighty-seven, is hale and hearty. Mr. Brown is the seventh son in a family of seventeen children. He left school at the age of ten, having only acquired a rudimentary education in a backwoods school. It is Mr. Brown's proudest boast that he is a self-educated man, and all the knowledge on economic subjects he subsequently acquired he ascribes to his own original research and investigations. Hard times prevailed in many parts of the east, despite the fact that the local banks possessed enormous surplus of funds. Mr. Brown determined to study the cause of these abnormal conditions. Discarding many of the principles of Ricardo, John Stuart Mill and Bonatu> Price, he started out on an original line of investigation. He now has arguments for the faith that is in him. Broadly speaking, he is satisfied that the industrial and financial systems at one stage of theit evolution halted, and then went off at a tangent. When Mr. Brown amasses millions out of Volcanic, one of his missions in life will be to straighten those lines of curvature. Such high minded altruism and disinterestedness is to be commended. The present system, Mr. Brown maintains, tends to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Impressed with the conviction that honest labor had belter opportunities in the west, Mr. Brown proceeded to Michigan, then the greatest lumber- producing state in the Union. This was in 1881. Then he reached Minneapolis and Duluth, and the Lake of the Woods country. While the C.P.R. was tinder construction, he came further west and prospected through the Selkirks and Rockies for forty miles on each side of the route. He found nothing worth locating owing to the cost of development. Then he fashioned a ''dugout\" and floated down the Columbia to Colville. His next objective point was Bonner's Ferry. In midwinter, i.SSrt, while in Colville, a Swede came in and exhibited samples of rich free-milling gold that he claimed he hud found on the North Fork of the Illecillewaet. The assays were fabulous. Al. Benoit and Joe Mickey got the news and slatted for the find to make locations. Brown also got the tip. The partners went by rail to Seattle, boat to Vancouver, and thence by construction trains and dogsleds to Revelstoke. On their arrival they were greeted by Brown, who jokingly informed them that lie had taken a short cut across country on snowshoes and had made the first location. Mr. Brown's acquisition of Volcanic and his subsequent relocation of the property are matters of history. In order to earn sufficient funds to develop his claim and to fight lawsuits he trapped for several winters in the region between the North Fork and ihe Arrow lakes. He regularly visited a line of traps stretched over a distance of a hundred miles. At night he slept under a piece of drilling, and trusted to a fire to keep himself warm He only carried one blanket. Mr. Brown shines as an after-dinner speaker. No banquet in the upper country is considered complete by many unless he is down for a speech on the mining industry. He was laughed at years ago when he prophesied the future greatness of the Boundary as a mining district. \"Volcanic\" is still as vigorous and energetic as ever. Of late years he has been engaged in the manufacture of Oregon grape wine, a famous beverage which he describes as a panacea for every ill. Every cent Mr. Brown makes is devoted to fighting the lawsuits that been brought against him. His fame is also based on lhe advocacy of a fifteen-mile tunnel proposition. He proposes to devote his sur plus wealth to the driving of a vast working or bore extending through the heart of the Boundarv district, tapping all the mines at a depth of fifteen hundred or more feet. He is confident that the project is feasible. Mr. Brown is a man of big ideas who is living a generation ahead of his time. Equally radical views on other questions are championed by him with a fearlessness which is admirable. He has no use for religion but champions a high eth ical code. If his ideas prevailed churches would be abolished to give way to more schools and halls of science. 51 r. Brown is sincere, and it is well known that his opinions have incurred him deep enmity. Many in the Boundary who formerly scouted his tunnel project as visionary, hope now to see it realized, together with \"a string of smelters extending from the Volcanic to Grand Forks,\" and a general sentiment prevails that he may live to reap in the shadow of his declining years the financial reward he has so strongly merited.

What he says is echoed by many other naval officers of high standing. ) WHAT THE ADMIRAL SAYS. | Philip Hichborn, Rear-Admiral United States Navy, writes from Washington, D. 0., as follows: \"After the use of Peruna for a short period, I can now cheerfully recommend your valuable remedy to any one who is in need of an invigorating tonic.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdPhilip Hichborn. AN EVERPRESENT FOE. The soldier and the sailor are especially subject to catarrh in some form or phase. Exposed as they are to constant changes, subject as they are to various vicissitudes, and all kinds of climate, wet and dry, night and day, they find catarrh to be their most Insidious and everpres'ent foe. In the barracks and on the field, Peruna is equally efficacious. Taken in lime, it will absolutely prevent catching cold. PE-RU-NA AN ABSOLUTE SPECIFIC. Not Fit for Publication. A Spokane school girl was required to write an assay of 250 words about an automobile. She submitted the following : \"My uncle bought an automobile. He was riding out in the country when it busted going up a long hill. I guess this is about 50 words. The other 200 are what my uncle said while he was walking back to town, but they are not fit for publication.\" GRFAT NORTHERN SUMMER EXCURSIONS.

After a cold, has become established, Peruna will break it up quicker than any other remedy known to man. Even after a cold has become settled in some organ of the body Peruna can be relied upon to promptly dispel it. Peruna will cure catarrh, whether acute or chronic, but a few doses taken in the first stages of the disease will be more effective than when the disease has become chronic. If you suffer from catarrh in any form, do not neglect it. Take Peruna at one*. Delay* in. sucb matters are dangerous.
