CATARRH IN HEAD.
Pe-ru-na—Pe-ru-na.
MR. WM. A. PRESSER.
MR. WILLIAM A. PRESSER, 1722
Third Ave., Moline, 111., writes:
"I have been suffering from catarrh
in the head for the past two months
and tried innumerable so-called reme-
dies without avail. No one knows how
I have suffered not only from the dis-
ease itself, but from mortification when
in company of friends or strangers.
"I have used two bottles of your med-
icine for a short time only, and it
effected a complete medical cure, and
what is better yet, the disease has not
returned.
"I can most emphatically recommend
Peruna to all sufferers from this dis-
ease."

Mr. A. Thompson, Box 65, R. R. 1.
Martel, Ohio, writes: '"When I begun
yonr treatment my eyes were inflamed,
nose was stopped up half of the time,
and was sore and scabby. I could not
rest at night on account of continual
hawking and spitting.
"I had tried several remedies and was
about to give np, but thought I would
try Peruna.
"After I had taken a bout one-third of
a bottle I noticed a difference. I am
now completely cured, after suffering
with catarrh for eighteen years.
"I think if those who are afflicted
with catarrh would try Peruna they
would never regret it."

DEATH REVEALS
SECRET OF SEX
MYSTERY OF "SAMMY" WILLIAMS
OF MONTANA DISCLOSED
ON DEMISE.
•1LTED IN HER YOUNGER DAYS
Adopted Masculine Attire and Amassed
Great Wealth Without Her
Real Sex Ever Being
Suspected.
Eau Claire, Wis.—The mystery of
"Sammy" Williams, a resident of Man-
hattan, Mont., for 18 years, who
dropped dead there from apoplexy,
was disclosed by her death. "Sammy"
was found to be a woman, who was
Miss Ingeborge Wekan.
Miss Wekan was born in Norway
some 80 years ago, it is claimed; some
say later. Before she came to Amer-
ica with her parents she was courted
by a young Norwegian, Sven Norem,
and the two became engaged. Then
the Wekan family came to America
and settled in Allamakee county, Iowa,
where some members of the family
still reside, and Ingeborge came with
them.
And Sven Norem came also. Not
long after the arrival in America Sven
Norem became cold and distant to In-
geborge and finally jilted her for some
reason not known, and she was broken
hearted. In fact, she was so heart-
broken that she could not endure it to
stay with her folks and among her ac-
quaintances, and she suddenly disap-
peared, and although she was sought
high and low she was not found.
About this same time, somewhere
around 1855 or 1860, there appeared in
Eau Claire a short, rather thick set
young man with coal black hair and
smooth face, which he never shaved.
His voice was rather soft and piping,
but he was strong as an ox and mixed
freely with the woodmen here, and it
was not long before he went to the
woods as a cook. He was such a good
cook that as long as he was here he
could get $100 and more per month,

Billy" Spent Money Lavishly for
Liquor.
And he amassed considerable money
which he invested in real estate and
in other ways.
He made Eau Claire his home till
the late '70's or the early '80's, and in
the later years there were rumors
floating about that "Billy" Williams,
which was the name he gave, or "Bil-
ly" Cooks, as he was generally called,
was not what he represented himself
to be; in fact, that he was a woman
in disguise, but they were only ru-
mors. Nobody knew, but somehow or
other the report was started, but "Bil-
ly" still continued cooking in the
woods, going out with the hoys, spend-
ing money lavishly for liquor, but
never drinking more than he could
comfortably carry, going out with the
girls and having a great old time. ^Al-
though retiring, he was always good
natured and never begrudged spending
money.
But there moved to this city some
years after a family from Allamakee
county, Iowa, neighbors of the Wekan
family, and they were acquainted with
the facts leading up to the disappear-
ance of Ingeborge Wekan, and after
seeing and hearing of "Billy" Wil-
liams, they became convinced that
"Billy" and Ingeborge were one and
the same person, and the Wekan fam-
ily was soon notified, and a brother of
Ingeborge was soon here to persuade
"Billy" to return home.
After selling his property holdings
here to a friend for the sum of one
dollar, the latter converting the prop-
erty into money, which was turned
over to "Billy," who did not want to
risk transacting business under an as-
sumed name, he left for St. Pail.
For several years he cooked on the
Dalrymple farms in North Dakota, still
masquerading successfully as a man.
and 18 years ago went to Manhattan,
Mont., where he lived till his sudden
death, when a few hours before he
was going to sign a deed to his prop-
erty holdings there, which he was go-
ing to sell, he dropped dead. And
then came the revelation that Wil-
liams was a woman.
And such is the sad life story of
Ingeborge Wskan, for "Billy" Williams
and "Sammy" Williams and Ingeborge
Wekan are one and the same person.
It is stated here that her sweetheart,
who jilted her, 8ven Norem, is still
living in Allamakee county. Iowa.
COULD NOT SHAKE IT OFF.
Kidney Trouble Contracted by Thou-
sands in the Civil War.
James W. Clay, 666 W. Fayette St.,
Baltimore, Md., says: "I was trou-
bled with kidney
complaint from the
time of the Civil war.
There was constant
pain in the back and
head and the kid-
ney secretions were
painful and showed
a sediment. The first
remedy to help me
was Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxes
made a complete cure and during five
years past I have had no return of the
trouble."

TOLD TO USE CUTICURA.
After Specialist Failed to Cure Her In-
tense Itching Eczema—Had Been
Tortured and Disfigured But
Was Soon Cured of Dread Humor.
"I contracted eczema and suffered
intensely for about ten months. At
times I thought I would scratch my-
self to pieces. My face and arms were
covered with large red patches, so
that I was ashamed to go out. I was
advised to go to a doctor who was
a specialist in skin diseases, but I
received very little relief. I tried
every known remedy, with the same
results. I thought I would never get bet-
ter until a friend of mine told, me to try
the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them,
and after four or five applications of
Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of
my unbearable itching, I used two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I
am completely cured. Miss Barbara
Krai, Highlandtown, Md., Jan. 9, *08."

have no right, they equally condemn

below the glory which xis their own.

sorrows and lay hold of the common
good! —Demosthenes.

CURES COLDS QUICKLY
A never failing home remedy for
coughs and colds is made from the fol-
lowing formula to be mixed at home.
"Two ounces of glycerine, one-half
ounce of Concentrated pine compound,
one-half pint of good whiskey; mix and
shake thoroughly; use in doses of a
teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every
four hours."
Thus will cure any cough that is cur-
able, or break up an acute cold in
twenty-four hours. The Ingredients all
can be gotten at any drug store.
The Concentrated pine is a pine prod-
uct refined for medical use and comes
only in half ounce bottles, each en-
closed in a round case, which is air-
tight, but be sure that it is labeled
"Concentrated."
Wagner Fooled the Critics.
Here is a story of Wagner's visit
to London in 1855: After the first Phil-
harmonic concert the critics re-
proached him for conducting a Bee-
thoven symphony without the score.
At the second concert, to satisfy his
audience, Wagner had a "partition"
on his desk, which he frequently con-
sulted. The critics declared the im-
provement was marked. The score,
however, was Rossini's "Barbier de
Seville."

Friendly Advice.
"If I ever marry," said the bachelor
who was beginning to be old, "I shall
be careful to pick out a lady whom I
can treat as my equal."
"Oh, say, old chap," answered the
married man. "I wouldn't do that if
I were you. I can tell you fo*om ex-
perience that a woman who would
submit to such treatment wouldn't be
worth having around the house."
There is more Catarrh In this section or the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment, pronounced It Incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
Sc. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken Internally In doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They oiler one
