rhpa. I have not doubt that cure will be speedily effected"
 MOTHER SUPERIOR.
 These are samples of letters received by Dr. Hartman from the various orders of Catholic Sisters throughout the United States.
 The names and addresses to these letters have been withheld from respect to the Sisters but will be furnished upon request.
 In every country of the civilized world the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of those with whom they come in contact, but they also minister to their bodily needs. They are as skilled as trained nurses in their treatment of disease, and are looked upon as messengers of good cheer by countless patient sufferers.s
 One-haf of the diseases which afaict mankind are due to some catarrhal de- rangement of the mucous membrane lining some organ or passage of the body. A remedy that would act imme- diately upon the congested mucous membrane, restoring it to its normal state, would consequently cure all these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, whether it be in the head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, or pelvic or gans. A remedy that will cure it in one location will cure it in all locations.

Another recommend from Catholic institution of one of the Central States written by the Sister Superior reads as follows:
 GA number of years ago our attention was called to Dr. Hartman's Peruna, and since then we have used it with wonderful results for grip, coughs, colds and catarrhal diseases of the head and stomach.
 "For grip and winter catarrh espec- ially it has been of great service to the inmates of this institution"
 SISTER SUPERIOR.
 A prominent Mother Superior says:
 "I can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it.
 "For yearsI sq qsferedawith catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving value less for relief. Last spring went to Colorado hoping to be benefited by 8 change of climate and while there 8 friend advised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles found myself very much improved. The remains of my old disease being now so slight, consider myself cured, yet for while intend to continue the use of Peruna.

IN M EMoRIAM.

Sterrett.-In Baltimore, on November 1b, 1901, Ethel Roberta Sterrett With a blessed vision of her saving Redeemer and her departed father, this dear girl. just budding into the freshness of wom- anhood's dawn. passed into the Paradise of God. No fear of dying clouded the outlook of her final earthly hours Sur rounded by a loving mother and devoted brother, with the sight of beautiful and abundant flowers before her, which faith ful hearts had sent, she entered into light with a full and clear knowledge of what she was about to do. Just be- fore she breathed her last, as if in pray CT, these words fell from her lips, How sweet to be able to see my Saviour and my father who are in Heaven. How sweet! How sweetr' Her farewell to time had upon it the blush of the eter- nal morning, which knows no noon, no sunset, no glimmering twilight of ad- yancing darkness. Her mind was pre- maturely ripe for one of her young years, yet such was its solidty that she grasped with clear apprehension prob lems and questions which commonly call for more developed powers She had distinguished herself specially in the departments of history and science, in which she was very soon to take her degree. when the summons came. She was characterized by large receptive ness Intellectually, which made it easy to teach her, which is something beyond mere instruction. More, perhaps, than most children have taught, she studied hard, not so much either to acquire learning for learnings sake or to please her teacher, but rather because she felt 1t to be her simple duty. So she was eminently a dutiful girl both to God and man. The tenderness and care of her early training with her plastic men, tai quality, raised Der to a higher plane than is ordinarily to be met with in boys and girls of the same age in the region of moral perception. So she loved truth, pure truth, with no textures of deceit, no raiment of quibbling-transparen in thought, resolute in duty, loving her mother and brother as few girls ever love. She was above all a Christian girl No doubts to obscure faith ever crossed the vision of her soul. She be- lieved and loved and served. and now she Is with the saints of all the ages in that city of God "where tideless sleep the seas of time" She received the com munion of her Masters body and blood a few hours before passing away and then the angel took her We will not say she is dead, only gone on before in to the upper. endless light. We may say of her, as one of our Southern poets triumphantly sings, she could not die Not dies no more than spirit dies;
 But in a change like death, was clothed

PRESIDENT DENIES
 HE WAS ASSAULTED
REPORT OF ATTACK ON RoosE- WELT IS RECONCILIATION. GATED MAN INTERNATIONALLY BRUSHED AGAINST HIM.

Washington, December a.-Both at the White House and at the British em- bassy, an emphatical denial is made Of the published story Of an assault all legged to have been made upon the Presi- dent Thursday. The President himself declares the story is not true and au- thorizes the denial of it. Lord Paunce- fote, the British ambassador, who is said to have been a witness of the assault, emphatically denies the statement.
 The story of the assault grew out Of the fact that an intoxicated man was lurching on Massachusetts avenue Thursday afternoon as the President was taking his daily walk, and that the man brushed against the President. A secret service officer arrested the man, but 1t is understood that he was soon afterward released.
 A sensational story that the President had been struck in the presence of Lord Pauncefote was printed in New York today.

A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands Suffer From It Without
 Knowing It's Real Character.

No trouble is more common or more misunderst ood than nervous dyspepsia. People having 1t think that their nerves are to blame, are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring remedies. The real seat of the mischief Is lost sight of The stomach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not so much in the stomach so much as In nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are af- fected in others the bowels are troubled. with loss of flesh and appetite, with the accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. w. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets I have been 8 sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medi- cines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes give temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits. being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have over come all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am bet ter in every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on actual facts"
