A Family Medicine
L. o. Summersett editor of ''The Mes
senger,' Red Bank, N j., writes The Pc
runa Medicine Co. as follows:
Gentlemen-"I certainly feel grateful to
you for putting such a great catarrh REM
edy on the market. l believe that more
than half the people with whom 1 come
In contact have catarrh in some form
and I don't see why more of them don't
use Peruna and get we'll.
Myself and family were all sick few
Gays ago with stomach trouble and used
Peruna with very satisfactory results
and at one-third the cost it would have
been had we called in a physician who
could not possibly have prescribed a bet
ter remedy than Peruna.''
L. o. SUMMERSETT.
''We VIII Not Do Without Peruna.''
Mr.. James A. Stalls, diego, ILL.,, writes:
II can say that Peruna has cured nv
four-year-old boy of the tonsilitis, anu
that of the worst stage. He mad it last
winter, and took him to three of the
pest doctors and got no relief. When 1
took him to the fourth his tonsils We're
SO infiamed that blood was running out
of them. The doctor said he could re
duce them. so l used his medicine fer
four or five weeks and the boy got 1t
very little better There was~a week or
two that we thought he would choke to
death in spite of all we could do.
In looking over your almanac saw
Peruna recommended for throat trouble,
SO I wrote to DR.. Hartman in regard to
my boys throat. He recommended Pc
runa, and in less than two months his
throat was well. I got one bottle of Pc
runa and 1T cured him sound and we'll
We will not do without it and will use
it for all throat and lung trouble

Oscar G.. Murray, first vice-president of

In an inspection of the terminal facilities

to Wayne Junction, just below which
station the Philadelphia 4 Reading rail
way is making such extensive improve

The report that was again circulated
during the latter part Of last week to the
effect that the Baltimore X Ohios trains
from Washington would In the near fu.
ture enter the Broad street station or the
new depot to be built by the Pennsylya-
mia railroad at Thirty and Market
streets was branded as absurd. There Is
not an official of the Baltimore a Obi,
that places the least faith in the report
and at the offices of the Pennsylvania
railroad confirmation is absolutely lack
ing.
There is the strongest kind Of train,
arrangement existing between the Balti
more n Ohio and the Philadelphia a
Reading railway, whereby all passenger
trains OF the former road will use the lat

the slightest inclination that any measur,
