Mr.. U. 6. King, foreman of the Lee.
tonia Democrat, Leetonia, Ohio, writes:
"DR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus, Ohio,
Gentlemen: Some time since, l had occa-
sion to doubt the genuineness of most of
the articles that appear in different papers
inregard to your wonderful PERUNA, and
my curiosity was so great that l deter
mined to write to one of the many people
that claimed to have been cured by this
medicine, and accordingly wrote to Mrs.
]. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon, this
county, and received the following reply"
81 received your letter this evening, and
in reply would say that PERUNA, l be-
lieve, saved my life, and can not recon-
mend it too highly; for all complaints it
is the best medicine in existence. 1t
seems to help you as you swallow it. 1
would advise any one suffering from my
complaint to take PERUNA and be con-
vinced. Yours truly, Mrs. !. w. Rey-
nolds." Now, that's her card, word for
word, and as am well acquainted with
the lady, do not believe she would lie.
1t is truly wonderful how your medicine
does do good.
James L. Mooney, Prospect, Ohio,
writes For the past ten years l have
been suffering from constipation and
dyspepsia, and all the evil effects that
accompany them. l was treated by a
number of doctors, all to no effect. l
used several patent medicines, which did
me no good, and about three years ago
was seized with severe nervous trouble,
and was obliged to quit farming.
thought my days would soon be over, but
last winter | received one of your PAM
phlets called the " Ills of Life" l at once
tried your PERUNA and MANALIN.
They helped me right away. l used nine
bottles of PERUNA and three of MANALIN;
and now am quite well, and able to
resume farming. also had little child
which was attacked with a severe cramp
in the stomach; we thought 1t would go
into spasms. used nothing but PERUNA.
We gave it an injection of PERUNA and
warm water, and gave it teaspoonful of
the medicine internally every half hour.
It was relieved in one hour, and has not
been bothered since. l have also used it
with as good effect in case of Group and
colds. l know that it Is a wonderful
medicine, and recommend it to all who
are in poor health. The above statement
l am willing to swear to-"

Household Hints.

When clothes are scorched remove the
stain by placing the garment where the
sun can shine on IL.
When purchasing meat, always have
the trimmings sent home, as they help to
make soups and sauces. Every scrap of
meat and bone left from roasts and broils
should be saved for the soup pot.
Meat should not be placed directly on
the ice, as the water draws out the Juices
Always place II in pan, and this may be
set on the ice. The habit of putting
steaks. chops, ETC., on ice in wrapping
paper is bad one.
If you are obliged to use gridiron OF
frying pan that has previously been used
for fish, and still has the pungent odor OF
the fish clinging to II, you can remove II
instantly by first heating II and then rub
bing II over with bit Of onion. The
onion will absorb the flavor OF the fish
but will not leave the least disagrceable
taste Of its own.
If, from any cause, butter becomes
rancid, to each pint OF II add one table.
spoon Of salt and one OF soda and mix
well, then add one pint Of cold water, and

MAY 27.--In the Senate resolution
was offered for the investigation Of Indi-
an traders. The bill forfciting certain
lands in Oregon, belonging to the North.
ern Pacific Railroad, was then taken up,
and discussed during the morning hour.
Several private pension bills were passed
and at p. m. eulogies on the late Sena-
tor Miller, of California, were delivered
by Messrs. Stanford, Hearst, and others,
and after resolution expressing the sor-
row of the Senate had been adopted, an
adjournment was carried at 3:45 p. IN. as
q mark of respect to the deceased.
In the House the conference report on
the shipping bill was adopted, with the
retaliatory clause included. Discussion
on the oleemargarine bill was resumed.
Short speeches were made by Daniels Of
Virginia, and Tillman of South Carolina,
against, and by Butterworth, and Hit of
Illinois, in favor, although Mr.. Butter
worth believed the tax proposed was too
high. After number of amendments,
intended to make the bill ridiculous, had
been ruled out of order, the House ad-
journed at p. m. An attempt to get o
night session, for further discussion, was
defeated by filibustering.

There have been many accounts OF per-
sons saved from imminent death by
drowning who all agree that at the mo-
ment of asphyxia they seemed to see
their lives unrollcd before them, even to
the minutest detail. Some go so far as to
say that every instance of former life
flashed across the memory, not as an out
line merely, but with every detail filed
In with the most remarkable minuteness
Every act of life, whether right or wrong
comes vividly back. Ribot cites the
case Of clear headed man who was in
the act of crossing railroad track, when
an express train, running at full speed
appeared close at hand The man had
barely time to throw himself down in the
center Of the road, between the two lines
OF rails, and as the train rushed over him
the feeling Of impending danger brought
to his recollection most vividly every act
and incident of his former life in such ar
ray as to suggest to him the opening of
"the great book at the last great dav"

Faith- Healing.

Rev. DIR. Buckley, editor of the Metio.
dist Christian Adgocate, has a long and
exhaustive article on 'Faith.healing, "
in the June Century, which concludes as
follows: "The faith-healers represent
God as interfering constantly, not by
cause and effect in the order of nature,
but affecting the result directly. Their
want of superiority to those who are not
Christians, but use either false pretenses
or natural laws, and their inferiority to
Christ and the apostles, condemn their
pretensions. Nor does 1t avail them 10
say, Christ would not come down from
the cross when taunted by unbelievers.
They might perhaps with propriety re.
fuse a test for the tests sake, though Eli.
jah forced one But in close observa.
tion OF their works the radical difference
between them and those who they say
have no divine help should be manifest.
Some of them affirm that the Mormons,
Newton, and others do their mighty
works by the aid of devils. If SO, since
casting out devils was miracle working
power of very low grade, it is wonder,
ful that none Of these persons have been
able to cast out the devils from any of
the great number who are working in
this way, and thus demonstrate their su-
periority as the apostles vindicated their
claims against Simon the sorcerer and
others.
Faith cure. technically so called, as
now held by many Protestants, is a pitia-
BILE superstition. dangerous in its final cf-
fects.
at may be asked, what harm can re-
suit from allowing persons to believe in
faith -healing'Y Very great indeed Its
tendency is to produce an effemiuate
type of character which shrinks from
any pain and to concentrate attention
upon self and Its sensations. 1t sets up
false grounds for determining whether a
person is or Is not in the favor of God.
IL opens the door to every superstition,
such as attaching Importance to dreams,
signs, opening the Bible at random. ex.
pecting the Lord to make II open so that
they can gather his will from the first
passage they see, Impressions, assur-
ances, etc. Practically II gives great sup.
port to other dclusions which claim su.
pernatural element. 1t greatly Injuries
Christianity by subjecting Il to a test
which II cannot endure. II directs atten
'ion from the moral and spiritual trans.
