She was prostrated two weeks since with the grip in it's most serious form, and all that human love and medical skill could do for her failed to alleviate her sufferings to any extent until it was given her to pass through the pearly gates into the city of eternal rest.
 She was a devoted wife and mother and will be sadly missed by them as well as by large circle of friends. She leaves a husband and daughter, two sisters and other near and loving rela- tives. Truly it may be said of her, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord"

D., will give the last of the series of four sermons on the question, Why Does Not the Church Reach More Men?" These sermons have been practical dis cussions of vital and interesting ques- tions. The subject last Sunday evening was consideration of the special con- ditions of the times as affecting the re- 1ation of men to the church. The spec ial topic for the last discussion will be ''Is it the Fault of the Men?" As be- fore, extracts will be read from letters received by the speaker from prominent residents of the city. These letters from practical men, representing very different points of view, have proven a very interesting and suggestive part of the discussions. A special invitation is extended to men to be present. -

 Abbey was reported to the board of health on February 15 as having diph- theria, after meteorological examina- ton of a culture from his throat had been made by Dr. McNeil, the city bac- teriologist His room was placardcd and his mother, who was present. was given instructions as to the care of her son from hygienic points of view, on February 16. Another culture was taken and examined the 17th of Feb ruary and the diphtheria germs were then found The attending physician was notified and he sent word to Mrs Abbey that she must not leave the room. I have letter in my possession in which she tells the doctor that she is going to leave the city and that he must keep quiet so as to avoid her trouble. She thoroughly understood the nature of her sons illness and that she was violating the law in breaking the quar- antine.'
 The following dispatch was received from Kingston:

 As a result of the changeable eli mate, catarrh has become one of the most prevalent and universal dis eases known to man. Nearly one- third of the people of the United States are afflicted with catarrh in some of it's many phases and stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh rap idly tends to become fixed or chronic, also the further fact that it is capable of producing great many other dis eases, and we begin to realize the true nature of this dread disease.
 So formidable has catarrh become that in every city or town of any size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of catarrh spe- cialty. Of course great deal of good is accomplished in this way, but as yet comparatively small number of the people can avail themselves of this treatment because of the great expense necessarily attached to it.
 To all such people Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, comes as great

boon. Not only is 1t more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but it is within the reach of every person in this land. Peruna can be bought at any drug store, and is g remedy:with- out equal for catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis, sconsump- ton, and all climatic diseases of winter.
 Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex- pertinent; it is an absolute, scientific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Letno ono persuade you that some other remedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh but Pe- runa.
