other until everything in the category
or diseases, except, perhaps, smallpox,
VIII be suggested as the cause.
But, perhaps, not one OF these will
suspect that the case is one OF linger-
ing la grippe; a case of la grippe that
has permeated the whole system; ~
case Of la grippe that has poisoned
every secretion Of the body and con-
Verted them into irritating discharges.
When the mucous membranes are heal
thy there is constantly eXuding from
their surfaces a clear soothing, bland
fluid called mucus: but as soon az the
mucous membranes become affected by
la grippe, even slightly, the mucous Sc
erection becomes poisonous and irritat-
ing.
Thus it is that the mucus, which is so
useful in lubriCating and protecting
these delicate membranes in health,
becomes. when changed by the effects
of la grippe, corrodlng and dangerous
fluid, which frequently eats It's way
completely through the tender MEM
brane, sometimes even destroying adj
jaCcnt organs.
There is no remedy i'm the world that
meets the conditions produced by la
EIlDIt DellcI IMAM lllt remedy Ie-fu~
ma. Pe-ru-na strengthens as it reno-
Yates, soothes while it stimulates,
heals as it eXpurgates. Pe-ru-na is not
purgative. or cathartic, or sedative,
or stimulant, nor a vegetable or min
eral poison. 1t reaches the source of
all diseases of the mucous membranes
by it's action on the vasa-motor system
of nerves.
Every person who had had la grippe
during the last year should take u
course of Pe-ru-na. No one need eX-
pect perfect recovery unless they do so.
The grippe has produced catarrhal in-
tiammation of the whole mucous mem-
brane, and good health IL impossible
until these are restored to normal
condition. This Pe-ru-na will do. A
great many remedies have been sug-
gested for this condition from time to
time, but Pe-ru-na appears to be the
only remedy that has any substantial
value in these cases. 1t has stood the
test of forty years experience and still
occupies the unique position of being
the leading Gf not the only) specific
remedy for the after-effects of la
grippe.

WOMEN IN THE WAR.
Instances of Heroism That Deserve
the Peoples Gratitude.

w. T.. Curtis in Chicago Record.
The senate has passed a resolution
rendering the thanks of congress to
Miss Clara Barton and the Red Cross
society for their services in behalf of
humanity during the late war, and sew
eral similar organizations for the relief
OF the soldiers think they are entitled
to the same distinction. The Red Cross
society is not monopoly, any organ
ization for the relief of suffering being
entitled to bear that name and to pro-
lection in foreign lands under the
Geneva convention. There We're several
independent branches of the Red Cross
at work during the war, but Miss Bar
ton is so well known over the world
that her society comes to mind when
the name is mentioned.
The next most prominent was the
Woman's Relief association of New
York, of which Miss Helen Gould was
the moving spirit. Bishop Potter was
president of the National Relief asso-
citation. The Massachusetts Volunteer
Aid society had its headquarters at
Boston, and there were societies in
nearly every city and many towns for
the aid of the sick and needy soldiers
which did great good, and representa-
tives in congress from their respective
localities think they are entitled TO Just
as much credit as Miss Barton.
Bills have also been introduced ten
dering the thanks of congress to sew
eral individual philanthropists and
nurses, including Miss Gould, Miss An
ME Wheeler, daughter of General
Wheeler; Miss Chanler, Miss Anna
Boulingny and several others whose
friends have interested themselves i'm
their behalf, Miss Barton had the us
ual distinction of being mentioned in
the presidents message. Miss Gould
has received formal thanks of the com.
mon council of the city of New York
and the legislature of New York, and
no one objects TO the bill that has been
introduced by Mr. Gray in the senate
their behalf. Miss Barton had the unus-

Rev, F. A. Gilmore on Liberal Religion.

The Mt Washington Universalist church
of Haverhill, Mass, celebrated its tenth
anniversary April It'll. Rev. Frank A.
Gilmore, formerly of Belfast, pastor of
the First Parish, Unitarian, church OF
Haverhll, was one of the speakers. The
Haverhill Gazette reports his remarks, as
follows:
| thought to bring to you tonight
single thought of two parts, that OF the
liberal church of today. 1t is very inter
esting to read the writings of ancient
Christians, as they have most curious rea-
sons for their belief Some of them said
there were but four gospels, because the
cross had four parts and the wind comes
from four quarters of the globe. In the
liberal churches there are two missions.
The first is to influence the religious IN.
struction in man, and the second is the
intellectual creed or attitude of mind. The
Christian church is one institution that
liehteps the burdens of man. The papers
are full of slurs and sneers at the CnnS-
tian religion, vet nothing has yet been
devised to take it's place. Weshouid say
to those who slur and curse: go thou
and teach in a way better than at pre-
sent - In this country we have intellectual
laws such as never before The great
creeds were formerly made by men who
knew nothing. Now these thoughts are
changed, and the men and women OF to-
day believe vastly different from their

One cent for diss patton gay,
And two cents for tobacco.

He'd take his pole and catch d fish
And if his stomach raised a war

He'd go and kill a woodchuck, or
Assassinate a rabbit.
A nd thus he'd live in sweet content
On food that never cost cent.
And, that he might lay in the bank
The proceeds of his labor,
He'd happeulround at meals, the crank,
To dine upon his neighbor.
And then he'd eat enough to last
Until another day had passed.
He bought no pantloons nor vest,
No rich, expensive jacket;
He had one suit--his pas bequest-
He thought would stand the racket
He patched it thirty years, tits true.
And then declared twas good as new.
