W., Washington, D. C., writes: “I have used Peruna and find it ve especially good for coughs, colds and catarrhal trouble.’ Spring and Summer Catarrh, There is a form of catarrh especially prevalent in spring and summer, called by Dr. Hartman systemic catarrh, This form of catarrh especially de- ranges the stomach, bowels and other organs of the abdomen, The whole mucous tract lining the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys is in an inflamed condition, and these organs fail to per- form their proper function, Systemic catarrh may be or may not be accompanied by catarrh in other parts of the body. In some cases there isa hacking cough. It may be also as- sociated with catarrh in the head, But, in typical cases of systemic ca- tarrh all the organs of the abdomen are in a weakened and sluggish condition. Dyspepsia ard Billousness. Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, at other times biliousness, or the patient may be suspected of having kidney dis- ease or appendicitis, Systemic catarrh presents symptoms which resemble closely @ great many different diseases, PITY FOR SISTER MAKES GiRL SLAY, Cora Leaderbrand Shot Carrie and Then Committed Suicide. ry beneficial for kiduey trouble, and . Peruna has for a long time been re- garded as the remedy par excellence for conditions of this kind, The accompanying testimonials are sufficient to indicate the promptners with which Peruna relieves these symptoms and the satisfaction which people express concorning the use of Peruna.

Springfield, Ill, June —The coro- ner’s verdict rendered in the double tragedy at Cotton Hill, is that Cora Leaderbrand, aged 17, murdered her sister, Carrie, aged 7, and after throwing her body into the creck, committed suicide, both girls meet- ing death by pistol wounds in their right temples. It was @ carefally planned crime, inspired by pity for the younger els- ter, who was sadly . ffl!cted, and ag- gravated by the elder sister’s dc- spondency. The two girls were daughtera of Joseph Leaderbrand, well-known farmer. To make certain of deuth, the old- er girl had evidently arranged a triple means of accomplishing the end. The three methods of death were by drowning, by revolver and by pofson. Inthe grass near where DR. J. M.

Her tongue wae also affected, and she talked with difficulty. Cora, the older, was very strong, robust and e: joyed the best of health. Later the older sister told Carrie to bid her father good-by and to tell him they were golpg out to gather greens. Carrie kissed her father good-by, and said: “Tl hurry home, papa.” The two girls then left, walking to- ward the creek, which is but a short distance from the house. The older sister evidently led the 7-year-old girlto a grassy spot about halfa mile down the creek. Cora !s believ- ed then to have overpowered the lit- tle sister, held @ revolver close to her right temple and fired. She then walked to a deep hole in the creek 560 feet from where the murder was com- mitted, and threw the body into the water.

Iam strengthened application the lessons and theortes learn {n this frimitive world. The frosts of these twenty-five winters have whitened our hafr and thescars of conflict are many, but our hearts Gre as young as they were on that memorable occasiou. Ihave always been proud that I was agraduate ofthe old K.M.I, with its history of splendid achieve- ments and traditions. The Kentucky Military Institute was founded in 1845, at the old Franklin Springs, !n Franklin Coun- ty, Ky., by Col. Robert T. P. Allen, a graduate of West Point, a man of wonderful energy, possessed of fine executive ability; a distinguished ed- ucator. It was peculiarly a south- ern school, successful in @ marked degree, both in attendance and re- sulte. Many of its graduates won distinction in private lite and others became famous in the great war be- tween the sections. For the years during and follow- ing the close uf that str:fe the school was closed. Col. Allen returned from Texas in the late sixties, and re Opened {ts doors, which proved a great boon to young men who had engaged {n that sanguinary conflict and had to prepare themselves to meet the adversities which attended the ‘Lost Cause.” The school pros- pered under his management and when he grew old, his son Col. Robert D. Allen, of high character and strong analytical mind, assumed the helm and gulded {¢ safely many years, until over taken by sickness and financial misfortunes. That was the darkest hour in the history of the K. M. I. and the hearts of many old cadets bled at the thought that it, with ail ite possibil- ities for good to humanity in educa ting the youth of the land, was to be lout. It was then that Col. C. W. Fowler, 6 craduate of the school and a mem- ber of the faculty under Col. Allen, determined to make an effort to Save the old institute. He was well fitted by ability and training for the work. Col. Fuwler conceived that to remove to new environments would enthuse new life into theenter- prise.
