Philadelphia.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t may not
be generally known to your readers that a
movement has been started for the purpose
of raising funds TO erect statue to the
memory Of Admiral Porter, late United
States Navy.
The south front of the City Hall, Philadel-
phia, is the place determined on for the
site, and authority for the location has been
granted by the Public Building Commission.
Naval Post, 400, Philadelphia, and Post
%, G. r., at Chester, Pa, are leading in this
good work. They desire and deserve the in
terest, sympathy and cooperation of ali
who believe in some reception of the naval
element. The numerous memorials, tablets
and monuments erected 10 the memory of
our army comrades is decidedly creditable 10
the intelligence, patriotism and liberality of
our people. Now let us see what can lie done
for the navy.-WILLIAM SIMMONS, Past

efficacy Of DIR. Peters Blood Vitalizer in the
treatment Of blood diseases really lies. So
unwilling have some people been TO attribute
merit to this plain household remedy that
they have tried TO classify ii among the So
called faith cures" that is o say, they have
claimed that those who have been cured by
the medicine have been imbued with
faith that it's the faith and not the medi-
cine that does the work.
We are unable TO say whether it is faith v
or not, but we do know that the remedy is
accomplishing some remarkable results.
i Mr. ii. Hoffman, of Lacrosse, Wis, in a
letter dated Jan. "a, 1896, writes: Z" take
pleasure ia reporting that my wife has been
cured through the use OF the Vitalizer of a
disease of twenty years standing. She had
