A BACKWARD SPRING.
Brings Blood Diseases, Nervous
Derangements and Chronic
Oatarrh.

Never was there a greater demand
for spring Notwithstanding to
cleanse the blood, strengthen the
nerves, OF regulate the digestion. Is
there any medicine so good for
these purposes as Pe-ru-na? Thous-
ands of doctors, druggists, and tens
of thousands of people of all classes
and vocations have long ago decided
this question-that Pe-ru-na has no
equal in these cases. Poor, shrunken

Hudson Rresbytery.

Mr.. Nichols, last Sunday evening,
took occasion to refer to the un-
usual mortality among the ministers
of our Presbytery, basing his re-
marks on the text, "Help, Lord, for
the Cody man ceaseth." He stated
that during his connection with the
church he had not known of so
many deaths occurring in a Presby-
tecy in the same period. During
the four years preceding the last
there were four deaths and within
the past year there have been five,
viz: Rev. }. A. Davis, of Nyack,
N. Y. Rev. ]. q. Forsythe, pas
tor of the church at Montgomery,
N. Y, for 90 years; Rev. Jas.
Greenleaf, of Washingtonville Rev.
David McLoud of Florida, and during
the past week, DIR. Freeman, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Hav-
erstaw for fifty two years. At the
recent meeting in Port Jervis, DIR.
Freeman read the Neurological Re-
port for the past year. He was
born in Boston seventy-fve years
ago and his first charge was the
church he continued to serve until
his death. He was present at the
dedication of the church here Sow
eral years ago and domiciled with
the family of the writer. His kind
ly, genial manner is vividly recalled
and his unassuming, but fervent
spirit deeply impressed itself on
those with whom he came in social
contact. He was apparently a very
loveable man and one calculated to
endear himself greatly to a congre-
CATION by his charming personality.

lain's Pain Balm is the finest on
earth, write Edwards g. Parker, of
Plains, Ga. This is the verdict of
all who use it. For rheumatism,
lame back, sprains. swellings and
the numerous slight ailments and
accidents common TO every house
hold, this liniment has no equal.
With it in the house a great deal of
suffering and pain may be avoided.

every new party and second that il he is
in the country.
Now that Colonel Bryan is in the army,
it will make no difference whether he is
in this country or not, will he be at libesty
to excuse himself and leave his regiment
to return to Iowa and stnmp the state In
the interest of Mr.. Weaver, and at the
same time boom himself for the Presi-
denoy in 1900. He may not be informed
as to the army rules or tactics very well
but he must know enough about army
service to know that a colonel OF q regi-
ment cannot give himself a furlough, nor
is it to be supposed that his commanding
officer would grant him leave Of absence
to discuss political question, to say the
least it would be lacking in Judgment.
1t will net take Mr.. Bryant long to CON-
vince the people, that he knows no more
about'militasy evolution>and war tactics
than he--did~ about 'Aeoin's Financial
School. 1t can not bs supposed that he
will resign from the army to 60 and help
Weaver or any other man TO deceive the
people, does he not owe it to his party as
well as his country that he should stay
with his regiment and the people Of the
Sixth District are capable Of looking after
thier own matter and some one should
inform the distinguished Colonel that Mr..
Weaver is to we'll known in the Sixth
District to run against Major Lacy.
