NO MORE cArARRH
As Soon as the Truth Is Known
About Pe.ru.na


A person who has chronic catarrh in
any form or degree and has not given
Pe-ru-na fair trial is unfortunate in
deed. To be afflicted with chronic
catarrh and not try Pe-ru-na is as fool
ish as to have the old-fashioned chills
and fever and refuse to try quinine, or
to have broken bone and not allow the
doctor to set 1t. Pe-ru-na has come to
be 80 universally recognized as spe
1cific cure for catarrh, acute or chronic.
that it is amazing that any one should
continue to suffer on with such l0ath-
some malady, neglecting to take a
course of treatment with it. OF course
it may be that many people have not
yet come to know of this great catarrh
remedy, but it is strange that it should
be so after such multitudes have been
cured by it and 80 many papers have
heralded 1t from one end of the coup-
try to the other. Men and women Of
all ages and rank, the rich and poor,
tie learned and iiliterate. are daily CIV
ing unsolicited testimony to the fact
that Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh.
And yet even this good news travels
comparatively slow. The tens of thou
sands of people who have been cured
are only small number in comparison
to the great number who are still suffer-
ing from chronic catarrh in some form.
Many have no time to read, others do
not care to read, a few cannot read, and
not few do not believe what they
read. These causes continue to retard
the spread of the greatest medical
boon to suffering humanity that has
ever vet been discovered. But the
news travels faster and faster every
month, and no one can fail to see
that the time is not far distant when
Pe-ru-na will be known and blest III
every household in the land.

PILLsBUKY CONTEST.
Result of the Prize Oratory at
Oliyet Church.

The Pillsbury prize contest of the uni
versity, for which preliminary contests
were held I'D January and April, oc-
Cured last evening at the Olivet Bap-
fist church. The contest probably
demonstrated more real oratory than
has ever before been let loose at a
purely university gathering. The de-
cisfon Of the judges was upon dellVefy,
also thought and composition. Upon
the first it was delivered by Hon. w. D.
Sanborn, Rev. Wayland Hoyt and Miss
Laura Hutton. Thought and compost
by j. K. Hosmer, L. j. McClary and
Mrs. Kate b. Davis.
The programme was opened by an
elegant selection Of music, after which
James E. Phillips was introduced as the
first speaker of the evening, and III
clear and forceful style delivered his
Grafton upon the American newspaper.
The power of the press was well
shown, and strong plea made for a
clean daily paper.
Miss Maud Graves was next called,
her subject Americas Greatest Orator
Abraham Lincoln" Her Grafton was
largely historical, and was truly fine
effort. Her part had been thoroughly
committed, voice was fine and gestures
appropriate.
Henry Ward Beecher" was the sub
ject of the Grafton presented by William
A. SimontOn, who characterized Beech
er as only second to Lincoln in the list
of Americas greatest men. His speech
contained Numerous well-formed ell
makes, and was well received.
The quartette was then presented
second time, and very much enliyened
the audience by parody on 1.-The Old
Oaken Bucket" which was heartily en-
cored.
Robert l.. jackson was the fourth
speaker, whose Grafton was The III
tegrlty of the Public Schools" He
mentioned many evils threatening our
school system, among which is the in
difference of foreign-0orn citizens and
the interference of politics.
Ben e. Taylor spoke upon the subject
of Russian tyranny. Russia's recent
action in eXpelling Jews from her Dor
ders furnished the, animuS of his ora
ton. His manner was easy and his
style full OF force.
William A. Smith. then Grated upon
1.-The American Idea" His thought
was more abstract than that of proceed
Ing speeches, but. was well received.
MI. Smith won second place III the inter
collegiate contest in st. Paul recently.
Justice to the Jew" was ucXJ con-
sidered by a born Jewess, Miss Estelle
Her Grafton was strong
plea for the Jewish race.
