CONSUMPTION CURED.
Chronic Catarrh of the Lungs, Ordinarily
 Called Consumption,

Pe-ru-na cures catarrh even after it has reached the air-cells of the lungs. A recent cure of this kind was reported by Mrs. H. A. Tyner. Four Oaks, N. c. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman she says: "I will write a few of the particu- lars of my daughters sickness. She had every symptom of consumption-cough, suppression of menses, night sweats and great cancellation. She was so low that none of our neighbors thought she could live. She could sit up only a little While at a time. I got bottle of Pe-ru-na, began giving it to her, and in twelve months she seemed as well as ever In her life. I feel, and so does everyone that knew about her sicknesss, that Pe- ru-na saved her life. My daughters name is Mrs. l.. Keene."
 If consumption was universally re- garded as catarrh of the lungs, and treated as catarrh would be treated. To- cated anywhere else, it would lead to greater number of cures.
 pr. Hartman's illustrated book on chronic catarrh will be sent free for short time by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu- featuring Company of Columbus, ohio.

the brethren feel scandalized over the ex-

The report has gotten out that the pas

Gardner has a very good church here,
and everything ran smoothly until the ar
rival on the scene of a travelling florist,
a negro named Jerry Lovelett, who has
recommendations from every quarter OF
the country. and among others, one from
Mrs. Cleveland.
Armed with the emblems of eminent re-
spectability in the colored gentry, Love-
lett scattered the seeds of discord, and
so impressed the idea of a church scandal
upon the members that an indignation
meeting was held, at which Lovelett was
present, and at which Gardner was not
expected.
But Gardner and his friends got wind of
the meeting and came anyhow, and in the
lister arose and moved to eject dat strange
niger" He and his friends hoped on
IoVelett and fired him through the door
without ceremony.
AS Lovelett went out of the door he
swore Gardner was formerly a Methodist
minister at Decatur, Ala. Gardner had a
case docketed in the mayors court against
ship of his congregation, but the case was
dismissed by Mayor McMahan. For a
while, during the indignation meeting, 1t
looked as If a riot was imminent.
