Miss Helen Murphy apopular society
woman of Oshkosh, Wis, is an ardent
friend to Peruna. The following is
letter written by Miss Murphy, and
gives her opinion Of Peruna as pre-
ventive as we'll as cure for catarrhal
ailments:
The colored American., 1901-11-02
Mrs. 6. II. Buck.

Peruna is applicable to catarrh OF
anv mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrOphic form
Peruna is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes, The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme senSitiVeneSs Of the mu-
cous lining of every organ of woman's
bodv is we'll known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, so few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude of women have
found Peruna an Indispensable remedy

Gentlemen-" About three months ago
I contracted a severe cold at an evening
reception, which settled on my lungs
and threatened to be very serious. AS
my mother has used Peruna with gooo
results, she sent for bottle for me and
I found that it gave me blessed relief.
Before the second bottle was consumed
I was we'll.
"We keep a bottle of it on hand
all the time and when / have been
out in inCIement weather, take q
dose or two of Peruna and it pre-
vents my taking any cold and
keeps me perfectly Well" Yours

Mrs. Rorer's $ Lecture.

Mrs. Rorer's lecture yesterday was
on Bread Making, and attendance al
this lecture was very much better even
than the good attendance Monday.
She stated positively that she was no
advocate of breads She spoke of bread
"as packing the stomach. That there
are fourteen elements in the body that
must be fed every twenty-four hours.
She said that in those countries where
much bread was used and where beer
is the drink, cancer was most prevalent.
Where wine was the beverage (wine
kills the yeast GERM there was much
less cancer.
She made "bread sticks" which she
said were lovely things for a lunch.
Take three and tie with a little ribbon
and place on the napkin. Breads made
with yeast and eaten hot will bring on
gout. rheumatism, Indigestion, Brights
Disease, but that breads made with
eggs, soda or baking powder should be
eaten hot and are not SO bad. She said
if we were out of baking powder and
would use a Seidlitz powder in the
bread it would make it light as yeast
Her first receipt was German Puffs,
then followed a receipt for Mush Bread:
Moisten q of a cup of corn meal, pint
fo cold milk, cook over the fire until
smooth and thick like mush. Take from
the fire and drop in the yelks of four
eggs then fold in the wei beaten whites.
Bake twenty minutes.
She spoke of soft flour" and strong
flour" Said the "soft flour was large
ly starch. She said those who used
much meal had the best teeth.
She said she did not want US to live
as she did for there would be no use for
trained nurses, and doctors die of star
walton for lack of work. She states
that there ought to be no odor to the
cooking OF cabbage or turnips properly
cooked.
She said one of her weak points was
the bringing up of children, and spoke
! of her son, who is an assistant profess
sor at Harvard. She spoke of his love
of home and his beautiful ideas OF same.
She said vegetables should never be
cooked in water at the boiling point nor
never cooked for a long time.
She said the books on sale as we'll as
cooking utensils that would be here to-
day and the proceeds of the lectures
We're to go to the aid of the Nurses
Home. Today soups will be the sub
ject.

DR.. Murphy Gets Pig Appropriation FOR
MGR, anton Asylum.

The House spent most Of yesterday af-
priation Bill. ending up with mighty
swell of generosity that will cost the
tax payers of the State nigh on to half
a million dollars.
The appropriation for the Morganton in
sane asylum was the one under consider
alton. The bill gives this institution
1920, 600, of which $150,000 is for building.
This latter item. it was proposed by some
to cut out entirely, by others TO cut down
half. Amendments to this effect were
sent forward, but they were never passed.
DR.. Murphy, superintendent of this asy-
luln, was present-he's been present most
of the session. He was a lobby member,
however, until yesterday. Yesterday he
walked boldly in and took members S
seat. The hour of his triumph had come.
Discussion of the appropriation began,
it grew too warm fer him; he retired to
the lobby-for unpleasant things were be-
ing said. But as he retreated his back,
like Cataline, said as plain as it could
speag: Il go, but / return.
Soon the storm had passed his friends
had the floor and were singing his praises
He came back. Now and then, as the
battle went on, he would retire to the
Lobby, send fer member, speak few
hurried words to him and return to his
seat. This was kept up for two hours,
then all amendments were voted down,
and the $500, ,000-the last farthing asked
for-was given him.
Immediately the Doctor arose and left
the hall, without even saying, Il thank
YOU" and where the 'I-shall- return
showed so plainly on his retreating form
before, there now appeared Caesars fa-
mcas words. "Veni, vidi, vici"
And well DR.. Murphy might say this
