Mr. Isaac Brock, Of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age Of Ill years,
having been born in 1888. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks Of it in the
following terms:
During my long life 1 have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh and diarrhoea. had always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
l have learned from Dr. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.

Opinion Rendered BY the Attorney
General That Is of General In
terest to Naval Officers.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The attorney
general has rendered an opinion in
the case of Lieut.. George Madison,
u. S. n, of great interest to naval
officers. He says that there sis no
reason why an officer, wounded in the
service, should not be promoted as
well as his fortunate brother, if there
are duties in the higher grade which
he can satisfactorily and sufficiently
perform"
When an ensign, attached to the
Olympia. in 1895, Madison was struck
by an anchor chain and lost a leg,
He has since been unable to perform
sea duty, but has rendered satisfac-
tory service on detail duty ashore.
Now he must be either promoted or
retired. The attorney general says
Gle may be promoted.

He looked around with conscious pride
