It might be thought I had deserted Dr. Cook-in his need. He may be delirious in .a sani tarium or on the ocean unable to de fend himself." " A close friend of Mr. Wack reiterated, however, that Mr. Wack has long ago decided to close dealings with a client who did not keep his counsel informed of his in tentions or movements. "To this phase of the situation, Mr. Wack made this contribution: -"Dr of Captain Cook has disappeared of his own voli tion and not by the suasion of his friends. I last heard from him fcy telephone on Tuesday, November 23. I had seen him personally two days before. "Last night Dr. Cook's friend, Charles Wake, confessed to me that he hadn't the faintest idea where the doc tor now is and that he hadn't heard from him since Tuesday, November 23. Mr. Wack, however, did receive a letter from Mrs. Cook on December b, dated December 4, and posted Decem ber 5 in Brooklyn, asking him to dis continue all expenses on the doctor's AD CATARRH THIRTY YEARS. is and Around the wrote Dr. Cook so long ago as Novem br 30 that he must beg him to seek accountj and to forward certain pa le gal advice eisewnere.

Peterson, 132 South Main St., Council Bluffs, Iowa, writes : 1 cannot tell you how much good Peruna has done me. Constant confinement in my store began to tell on my health, and I felt that I was gradually breaking down. I tried several remedies, but obtained no permanent relief until I took Pe runa. I felt better immediately, and five bottles restored me to complete health." A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. I. C. Prosser, Bravo, Allegan Co., Mich'T, writes: "Two years ago I was badly afflicted with catarrh of the stomach. I had had a run of typhoid fever, was very depleted. I could find nothing I could eat without causing dis tress and sour stomach, finally I came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the stomach and seeing Peruna advertised, began to take it. It helped me soon, and after taking three or four bottles I was entirely cured of stomach troubl, "and can now eat any thing." Ask your druggist for a free Peruna Almanae for i910.
