DECISION DAY IN MAINE SUNDAY

One of the progressive movements in
Sunday school work most zealously ad-
yocated at the last State convention in
Dexter In October was decision Day"
The international workers spoke OF its
result In other states in terms of highest
praise. Following this endorsement, and
inspired by the interest shown by pastors
and delegates present, the State executive
has appointed Sunday, January "a, as
Decision Day. in Maine churches ana

were mailed to pastors and aupsrinten-

Sunday, January 20, upon the value and
importance of early choice OF the Chris

prepare the way for thorough work on

The above map has been carefully
compiled from United States documents
by The Peruna Medicine Company, of
Columbus, Ohio. The figures were taken
from the mortal statistics published by
the government and entirely agree with
the archives kept at The Hartman Sani-
tarium.
The map is made in four shades. The
highest shade shows the states which
have the lowest per cent. of deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these states
very close to AZ per cent. of all deaths in
1se0were due to catarrhal diseases. That
is to say, over four out of every ten
deaths were from catarrhal affections.
In the States Of next darker shade the
per cent. varies from AZ to 40. In the
next darker shade, As to 48 per cent. OF
the whole number of deaths resulted
from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest
shade we have indicated the States in
which over 80 per cent, or one-half or
more, of all the deaths were directly
traceable to catarrh as the cause.
This is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the fact
that cafarrh has become national
curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten
the life of our people. Over one-haIf
of the people suffer from some form or
degree of catarrh. Fully fhfry-five
million people are personally interest
ed in the discovery of a radical catRrrh
cure.

Anyone who wishes perfect health
must be entirely freefrom catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om-
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
ginning of eatarrh. To prevent colds, to
cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's
victims. Peruna not only cures but pre-
vents catarrh. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and so forth.

address by The Peruna Medicine Co.,

beneficial, removing the annoying symp-
toms, and was particularly good as
tonic.
al take pleasure in recommending
your great national catarrh cure, Peruna,
as the best / have ever tried."-W. ".
Sullivan.
Catarrh is a systemic disease of cli-
matte and nervous origin. With Peruna
the nerves become strong and the mu-
cous membranes are consequently
strengthened, thus protecting the person
from the bad effects of ehangeable eli
mate. This is why some people do not
have catarrh.
