DEATH OF ANNIE SAWYER DOWNS.


In the death OF Mrs. Annie Sawyer
Downs at her home In Andover, Mass,
on Dec. o, Southwest Harbor feels the
loss as OF that OF a personal friend, so well
known and sincerely respected was she
who, with her husband, has occupied her
modest summer home, Edgeclif, here for
many years, with an occasional excep-
ton. She was really native born ctti-
gen of the town, her birthplace being on
the western side OF the island, connec-
ton OF the Sawyer family long resident in
town.
Mrs. Downs had ever taken a great in
terest in the advancement OF her fsvorite
seaside resort, and was very enthusiastic
over the natural scenery OF the island, as
we'll es in her labors OF collecting and
classifying the floral specimens found
thereon, as she was a cola borer with Red
field and Rand in preparing that very
useful and interesting WORK "Flora OF
Mount DESERT. Her botanical researches
afforded much pleasure to her friends and
proved diverting study to herself.
Mrs. Downs will always be remembered
as one of the original promoters OF the
fremont public library. and though
through MISUNDERSTANDING OF the de-
sires OF the incorporated association, she
Withdrew her interest from the work, all
feel grateful for the good done by her in
the beginning.
After long illness Mrs. Downs seemed
somewb hat improved in health, and spent
a part OF the past summer at her dearly
loved home here, attended by her devoted
husband, and having the medical care of
her brother, DR.. Z. K. Sawyer, who had
been unremitting in his zeal for her res
torstion to health from the beginning OF
her Illness. A trained nurse was also with
her, and though she felt unequal to re-
ceiving callers, she rode out frequently
with her husband and all her friends
hoped for her ultimate recovery, but her
earthly life has closed, and she Twill be
remembe red for what she hiss done.

WINTER CATARRH
In All Its Phases and Stages Cured by
S@runa,

They do so because they have learned
by experience tina 1t Is q valuable med
icine.
Not only ia 1t valuable medicine but
it Is applicable to the climatic ailments
of winter and summer. Extremes Of
heat and cold III the United States make
it land of catarrh.
| Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is moro especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilated
sleeping rooms are the principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
| bitter experience, that catarrhal dis
eases are not only the most numerous
of all other diseases put together, but
they arc the hardest to cure.
Peruna is a specific for this class Of
diseases. No other remedy can take It's
place. Thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of simply
q bottle. People who have spent large
sums to be cured Of catarrh, have turned
to Peruna as last resort, and been
cured by the use of a single bottle.
It Ia q sure cure for coughs, colds, lA
grippe and catarrh in its many phases.
Whether the catarrh Is located in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is a prompt and
never-failing cure.
Mrs. Sarah Jones, Pleasant Plain, Is.s
writes: al wish to acknowledge my APP
probation Of the benefits received from
Peruna and Manalin In the treatmens Of
what was pronounced systemic catarrh.
l took Peruna for o while and discon-
tinued the use of 1t as felt so much
better. The latter part Of the winter
and early spring there was SO much
sickness here, an epidemic of colds and
pneumonia prevailed. I had an attack
of cold in catarrhal form, suffering with
facial neuralgia and headache, but con-
tinued taking Peruna and Manalin and
was soon restored without being pros
trated with weakness" q
