consider the overtures on the transfer of the
board of missions for freedmen to that of home
missions reported against such transfer. Laid
over for discussion.
1t was reported that the overtures on

bly, by 136 members. The standing committee

The report of the committee on the board of
church erection shows that the total amount re-
ceived during the year from all sources was
$l2O. .696; 398 applications for aid have been made
amounting to 1924 500; twenty four of these have
been entertained and sos, 040 given. The board
was authorized to release a mortgage held on a
church In the South, in order that they may
unite with one in the same city connected with
the Southern Presbyterian Assembly, and sell
their property the proceeds of the sale to apply
to the enlargement of the church with which
they unite.
The committee on judicial commissions re-
ported that the overture was adopted by vote
of 135 to thirty-one. This gives the assembly
and each synod the right to appoint commissions
whose decisions shall be final. except in matters
of law or doctrine, which must be referred to the

A Lady's Opinion.

Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, O., writes:
DE-. s. B. HARTMAN & Co., Column
bus, Ohio: ~ commenced ON the fifth
bottle of your PERUNA this morning,
and should just as soon think of doing
without my meals as without my medi-
cine. I have been doctoring for about
four years, and kept getting worse all
the time, and was just giving up in de-
spair when l got one of your books,
"The Ills of Life" I was in bed at
the time. I read and re-read your
book and felt like trying your medi-
cine. My folks thought there was no
use in trying anything more; I was too
far gone, and might as we'll make up
my mind to die. l told them PERUNA
was the medicine I needed, and I in
tended to try bottle. 1t proved .
success in breaking the chills, and if it
had not done one thing more, would
have been satisfied. But it has done
more, and l feel like another person.
Everybody that sees me is surprised to
zee me looking so we'll, as they all
thought was dying with consumption,
and now my own folks have as much
to say for the PERUNA as !. I recon-
mend it to everybody I see. There
were two OF our neighbors in yesterday
inquiring about the PERUNA. I gave
the one my book to read; told her to
bring it back, as l priced it very highly.
The other got the name of the PERUNA
to send to his son in Chicago. He is .
telegraph operator. My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo In
grams, though nothing compared to
being so bad. There was = lump
raised on my collar bone, and it was
long time before it looked like opening.
The doctor said he would have to lance
it in few days, but thought would
attend to that myself, so 1 put little
fly blister on it and it opened; then I
put poultice on and then salve, and
kept the salve on all the time. It got
30 bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back OF my ear, that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what I suffered.
My head felt SO strange sometimes, I
thought | was going crazy. Since I
have used the PERuNA q don't use the
salve any more) my sores healed up
right away. And oh! what relief it
is to get around without chilling and
having to suffer with my sores. l feel
like letting everybody know all about
it."
John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa, writes:
"Your PERUNA is q good medicine,
and we sell lots Of it. Will you please
send us some more Ills of Life with q
few German"
