place in the country, according to the
Detroit Frve I'reas, "but they never
get dull out where we live. We have
two colored tenants ou our little farm
fine workers, both of them Doug

ou ever since.
"Tha other night whan I want home
to dinner Ilertha told me that Doug

with each other. It waa a atormy
night blowing great guns and snow
ing very hard. Wa were coxy by our
Ore, however, and at 10 o'clock were
about to go to bed, when we heard a
coui motion over at the farm cottage.
Going to the side door, we saw that
the cottage door stood wide open,
Kllxa'a voice waa beard, talking an
grily, and Douglass was talking bark.
Before I could get my boots and over

lug Judy by a rope.
"'What Is the matter, Douglass,
and where are you going? we asked
iu the same breath.
"'I.lxa'a In a temper agin,' anld

"We tried to calm Douglas and
dlaauade him from the long and
atormy trudge to bis son's, but off ho
went, poor Judy hobbling through the
suow behind him.
"Long after midnight we were
aroused by the dog' barking, and on
looking from the window, saw a man
floundering through the anow, leading
a poor, stumbling cow.

, "My wiie has been a sufferer from a
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-live years. Her case has baffled
tbe skill of some of tbe most noted phy

was chronic constipation of several
years' standing. Bhe waa also passing
through that most critical period in

"Jn June, 1895, 1 wrote to you about
her case. You advised a course of Pe
runa and Manalin, which we at once
commenced, and have to say it com
pletely cured her.
"About the, same time I wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of twenty-five years' stand

I commenced to me Peruna according to
your instructions and continued ks use for
about a year, and it has completely cured
