DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED: :

everybody wants 10 know what medi-
cine 1 am using. recommend Peruna
to everybody and some have commenced
to use it. The folks all say that If DIR.
Hartman's medicine cures me 1t must be
great."-JOHN VANCE.
Mr.. J. Brake, of PefroIea, Ontario,
Canada, writes: "Four years ago

ease, which brought me so low the
doctor said nothing more could be
done for me. Ibegan TO take Peruna
and ManaLin, and In three months I
was a well man, and have continued
so ever since. ".--J Brake.
At the appearance of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should be
taken. This remedy strikes at once the
very root of the disease. 1t at once re-
lieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stag
nant blood, preventing the escape of
serum from the blood. Peruna stimu-
lates the kidneys to excrete from the
blood the accommodating poison, and thus
prevents the convulsions which are sure
to follow if the poisons are allowed to
remain. 1t gives great vigor to the
hearts action and digestive system, both
OF which are apt to fail rapidly in this
disease.

THE DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

nm Interesting witness.

Capt. Cook of the brooklyn Proves
an Interesting Witness.
Washington, Oct. 15.-Yesterday in
the Schley court of inquiry, Judge
Advocate Lemly concluded the pre-
sentation of testimony for the gov
ernment, and the first of Admiral
Schley's witnesses was introduced
Capt. Francis a. Cook, who command
ed Admiral (then COMMODORE
Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, dur
ing the Santiago campaign, and who
acted, though unoflicially, in the ca
pacity of chief of staff for the com
mcdore, was on the witness stand the
reater part of the day. He was fol-
lowed Lieutenant-CommandeI
Willinrn +. Fullam, who was senior
watch officer on the New Orleans dur
ing the Spanish war, and former
Lieut.. Jos. Beale, who, as an officer
on the Harvard, translated the cipher
dispatches between Commodore Schley
and the navy department carried by
that vessel. Among those dispatches
was that sent by Commodore Schley
May 2S, expressing regret at not hav-
ing been able to obey the orders of
the department and explaining the
reason why he could not do SO. There
are some verbal discrepancies between
the original draft of this dispatch and
the official print of it, and these, Mr.
Beale explained.
Lieut.. Beale was the last of the
government witnesses, although Capt.
Lemly explained that he would re-
serve the right to call others il occa-
sion should demand that he do so.
He had no sooner retired than the
first witness for Admiral Schley was
called. This proved to be the Cuban
Pilot Edwardo Nunez, who told Schley
On May 26, 1898, that he did not be-
Iieve the Spanish fleet under Cervera
was in the harbor at Santiago.
Capt. Cooks testimony was a re-
Cervera's fleet, beginning with the de-
parture of the flying squadron from
Key West on May 10, and concluding
with the battle off Santiago July g..
He said that at first it had been be-
lieved by both Sampson and Schley
that the Spanish fleet was in the har-
Dor at Cienfuegos, and that no in
formation to the contrary had been
conveyed to Commodore Schley until
the arrival of Capt. McCalla on May
"a; that it was Commodore Schley's
expectation to meet the Spaniards in
the open sea, ard his constant care
was to have coal enough for such
emergency. He gave particulars con.
,erning the retrograde movement, and
explained the Brooklyn's loop, for
which he assumed personal responsi.
bility, in connection with graphic
account of the engagement of July
3. Asked for an opinion as to Ad-
miral Schley's bearing as command.
