CATARRH

or inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in Win
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or in1amma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by ore catarrb
curc-Pe-ru-fa.
That's the only way ont of it.
You may dose forcver-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-ra. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must he
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

LETTER FROM IRELAND.
The Archbishop Urges a United An
gIo-Saxon Propaganda.

NEW YORK, April 25-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Archbishop Ireland. of
ST. Paul. has written a letter to the Duke
of Norfolk, president of the Catholic Union
of Great Britain, in which he urges a
united Anglo-Saxon Catholic propaganda.
A cablegram from Rome recently stated
the letter had reached the Vatican. where
it is regarded an effort to revive the
liberal movement known as Americanism.
A copy of Archbishop Ireland's letter has
just been received here. 1t deals at length
with the opportunity before the Catholic
Church in English-speaking countries, and
II lays special emphasis on the fact
that the English language is circling
the globe. All this, the archbishop
points out, cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the authorities of the
church. 1t is broad. plain fact in the
geography of the world, he says, "a fact
daily becoming broader and palmer that
English-speaking countries are constantly
growing with speed that nothing seems
able to arrest in territory and i'm in
fluence. 1 certainly shall not belittle the
spheres of influence of language other than
the English, or deny in the least the i'm
pOrtance TO the church of countries speak
ing these languages; let due place be
given to all agencies in the great work of
religion. However. he proposes a new
mission for the English-speaking coun-
tries and urges that greater efforts be
mode TO spread the Catholic religion in
English-speaking countries"
