It Is a very serl- tin**,

much more prospect of relief, since
there is no organic disease behind it.
The blood is thin for want of proper
assimilation of food. The digestion
may lie poor. In those cases Peruna

Head what Mrs. Randall says:
•| have been a sufferer from Bright's
disease nearly six years; also ohronlc
catarrh for a. much longer time. One
doctor said there was no help for me.
“Then I wrote the Peruna Medical
I >epartment. My body was badly
bloated and rnv feet were so swollen
and sore T could not get my shoes on.
Now the swelling is gone and I can
wear my shoes with comfort all the
time. At tlie time I first wrote them,
when I stepped on my feet it felt as if
there were pins piercing the instep of
them. I suffered excruciating pain and
ache in my back and limbs. Since tak

greatly benefited. I shall not cease to
recommend Peruna whenever I have
an opportunity.”

ing a visit to tin* business men of Selma
to see if they wanted a fair and would

tures of the fair than they have during

ed to Selma. During past years the
fairs which have been given here have
always proven successful but more at
tention was devoted to agricultural and
live stock and similar exhiibts than
there will be this year.

ALEXANDER CITY’S
HOODOO GONE AGAIN
I
-.---I
Alexander City, June 14. (Special.) |
Friday. June 13. 1913, has . passed, and
with it Alexander City's “hoodoo ' is gone
again. Observant readers, and especially
the insurance world, will easily recall that
yesterday, Friday, was the eleventh an
niversary from the date when this city
was totally destroyed in all its business
parts. Including to nice dwellings. And
ijrgatn; with some reflection, it Is recalled
that i] years ago wdven this c ity was de
stroyed. tin* lire broke out at I o'clock i».
m., and the day was Friday'. June 13.
Who can wonder that every business
man in Alexander City all day Friday
would fefu.se to discuss the fatal day, but
with,the significant wag of the head w hen
the subject was mentioned, would give a
look or suggestion that every one wished
to breathe ar sigh of relief when Hie day
wus gone, and not again hear that awful
sound—the fire whistle. If is said that
the lire department, everyone of them,
had his fighting cap and trousers hang
ing on the very neatest peg to him all
day. It was onee suggested to have the
fire alarm sounded just to see the boys
move, hut another wisp man said tin* man
who pulled that fire eord in order to make
a false alarm would he taken hv the pop
ulaee and mobbed, in his opinion.
In 1911!, on June 13, Alexander City sus
tained a loss of about 9400,000, with only
$145,000 of Insurance to offset. If the
same part of this town should today be
destroyed, as completely as it was then,
flu* loss now would aggregate right at
$J,000.,900, This comparison is merely given
to show the recuperating power of the
people of this town.
