this IS Just what has been done in the
case OF the large and influential body OF
laymen Of the Methodist Episcopal

are not under more abject rule, under

than are the men and women Of the

the energy and ingenuity of the French in the
adornment Of big wall spaces. But for a single
satisfactory decoration that is produced there
are twenty bad ones, and in this Exposition
there is not even the solitary exception TO ex-

the gigantic Sale des Fetes there are ceiling
panels bearing the popular names of Cormon,
FIameng, Maignan and Rochegrosse- The hall

CATARRh

or Inflammation Of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in WIN
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or infiamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. 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 be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the .igh
place and does cure.

be the first real American hotel in

build this hotel brought a New York
architect to London year ago and are
now amazed at his methods. as the
