She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
l6SS-Cured bu
P6-ru-ld.

Mrs. Judge McAllirster writes from
1917 West 3Srd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi, as
follows:
Il suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side 1t
interfered often with my domestic and
social duties and l never supposed that
would be cured, as the doctors medi-
cine did not seem to help me any.
fortunately a member of our order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that l decided to try it.
Although l started in with little faith
L felt so much better in a week that I
felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that ! am entirely cured. Words fail to
express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing l could wish
for, and thanks to Peruna 1 enjoy that
now. Minnie f. McAllister
The great popularity of Peruna as a
cstarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tones are to be found in many drug
stores These remedies can be procured
by the druggists much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at a
uniform price, and no druggist can get
it cent cheaper
Thus 1t is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of Pc
runa for Peruna. 1t is done every day
without a doubt.
We would therefore caution all people

when the names Of the noble and COM
missioned dead appeared in the Ca
zette after Waterloo Their meaning
was that noble ancestry begets noble
brood; that a line OF gentlemen for fore
fathers gives a man certain spirit,
stamina and courage which the yoe-
man and the shopman lack; that the
thoroughbred man, like the thorough
bred horse, Is superior to the common
mustang or cart horse.
II is true that the traditions of a
noble family have certain influence
on the scions thereof and keep them up
TO certain ideals, especially In the mat
ter OF physical courage. Moreover,
wealth. education and generous habits
of living, with which most men OF good
blood are familiar from birth, have a
tendency 70 create keen sense OF
honor and a personal pride that have
n strong influence upon conduct. Yet
examples prove that blood has little

Some Lourdes like scenes were en-

Baptiste in East Seventy ixth street.
near Third avenue, where the venera-
ton of the relic of st. Anne continued
with undated devotion. under the di-
rection of the Fathers of the Blessed
Sacrament. Soon after dawn men and
women began to flock to the church,
and many workingmen, dinner pals in
hand stopped in the little sanctuary
to adore the Blessed Sacrament and
to say prayers at the shrine of the relic
of the mother of the Virgin. Then came
the procession of the lame, the halt
and the blind. Before the hour Of the
high mass at o'clock, the church was
crowded and the crypt was filled with
persons from far and near.
Mass was sung by one of the faith
ers of the order, after which Father
l.. A. Nolan, an oblate of the Order OF
Mary Immaculate, Lowell Mass who
gave an instruction on the efficacy and
virt~e Of prayer, showing by reason
and example that prayer, If made with
earnestness, attention. humility, con-
fidence and perseverance, must prove
effective, according to the express
promises of God. AT the veneration Of
the relic the scene was strange, as suf-
fering and stricken men, women and
children knelt at the altar rail and
kissed the relic as 1t was held to their
lips by the priest, who then made the
sign of the cross with the relic and
touched IL to the portion of the body
afflicted with disease.
Fully thousand persons sought
blessing or healing through the inter-
cession of st. Anne and the Virgin
Mary. Some of them came in painful
ly supported by friends, or weary,
hobbling on canes and crutches. Some
were carried in chairs, and some were
brought in carriages. Children were
carried in their mothers arms, and
some who came were so feeble that
they had to rest on floor steps as they
made their way to the shrine. All the
morning there was a throng in the
crypt. Many votive tapers were lit as
acts of devotion, until the place, with
its polished marble walls, was brilliant

WILL REFUND THE DUTIES.
Attorney General Declines to Give
Opinion in Porto Rican Matter.

Washington, July 22.-Attorney Cen
eraI Knox to-day declined to render
an opinion, which was asked for by
the Secretary of Treasury, on the ques
ton whether or not, under existing
laws, the Secretary is authorized TO
refund the duties collected on goods
imported from Porto Rico between the
date of the ratification of the Spanish
treaty and the date that the Foraker
act went into operation. The attorney
general says that inasmuch as the con-
troller of the treasury has given his
decision on the subject, it is matter
for him (the controller), alone, and he
therefore cannot give a decision as re-
queSted.
1t is authoritatively stated at the
Treasury Department that the govern
ment will proceed Immediately to re-
