you are right. said an English gen.
ueman connected with an American rail-
way company Abe trains in this country
are absurdIy Slow Even the so-called
fast mails and fast trains are anything
but fast. In England we read OF the can.
non.b ball trains. lightning expresses and
special limited trains Of America. and On
coming here we expect to find trains max
ing something like a mile n minute. Blu
you can imagine our astonishment upon
discovering that these trains are slower
than our third class passenger rains in
England Why. extra fare is charged on
trains in this country making thirty
four or thirty-hve miles an hour. the
extra charge being solely Tor the speed
but In kngiand our third class passengers
ride from forty TO forty-fiye miles and
nobody pays extra fare.
Il have been making some com RI
sons between English and American rail.
way service. From New York TO Al
bsny it is 142 miles. By a splendid track.
There are ten express trains daily between
these cities. and their average speed
is t~wenty-nine and two-thirds miles
an hour. Between London and
Sheffield. 1862 miles, the Great Northern
rams nine express trains daily, with an
average speed Of foriy-four and one
third miles an hour. One train
makes fifty miles an hour. Between
New York and Boston. 23J miles, there
are only eight express trains daily, with
an average speed OF thirty-two and two
third miles The fastest, a train of
sleepers. would not be called an express
at all. Its speed being only thirty-eight
and thrce-fourths miles an hour. BE-
tween London and Manchester, 203 miles,
there are twenty express trains daily.
their average speed being forty-one miles
an hour. and some OF them travel nearly
forty-eight miles an hour.
-Between New York and Pittsburg.
IA miles. there arc five express trains
daily; their average speed Is JUST under
thirty miles an hour. and the fastest
thirty-seven miles Between London and
Glasgow, 440 miles. the-e are thirteen
daily expresses. and their average speed is
thirty eight and three quarter miles. The
last Coast express runs the whole distance
at forty-two and ouc-half miles an hour.
| find that about the only trains in the
tnitedI States making more than thirty
miles an hour are the two Chicago ex.
presses and a few trains running north or
south from New ork city.
The only really fast passenger trains
in America are three or four which run at
q speed of about forty-six miles an hour
between New York and Philadelphia. All

We do not find fault, reproach or con-
denim the practice of any regular physi-
cian-this is not our mission-but we do
claim that if he were to add PERUNA to
his prescriptions, as directed in our book
on the " Ills of Life" land furnished graf
uitously by all druggists, he would cure
all his patients.
Mr.. Henry C. Reynolds, Ironton, Law
renee County, Ohio, writes: My wife
has been sorely distressed for many years.
Her disease or diseases and the symptoms
of them have been so varied that an at
tempt to describe them would be more
than l feel able to undertake. l have
paid over a thousand (I,ooo) dollars for
doctors and medicines for her, without any
satisfactory results. We read SO much
about your PERUNA that l was forced to
try it. She has now taken five bottles;
they have done her more good than all
the doctors and medicine that she has ev-
er made use Of PERUNA is certainly
God-send to humanity"

that may bs looked for from yesterdays
