The day was when men Of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testimoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for publi-
cation. This remains true today of
most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one
hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
lions are equally represented.
A dignif1ed representative of the
Presbyterian church in the person of
Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by
an elder in his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
seven years of age had been suffering
for some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.

LIEUT.. MABEL C. HUNT.
A Bright Salvation Army Lassie, Who
Knows How to Keep Her Corps
In Good Health,

Ogden. Utah, Jan. II, 1901.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Pacific Coast Division of
the Salvation Army, whose noble work
in the interests of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western country,
has its headquarters in this city One
of the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut.. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt. Everyone knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night, exposing themselves to all kinds
of weather, that no opportunity may
be lost of rescuing some poor unfortu-
nate from sin and suffering. In some
cases, their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably is their
unfailing faith in the Divine injunc-
ton to do right and fear not" Lieut..
Hunt explains one of the means she
employs to keep her Soldiers" in good
health, as follows:
Il have found Dodd's Kidney Pills Of
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS consequence of this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often en-
sue. In such cases 1 always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for I have no.
ticed better results, quicker relief, and
more lasting benefit from the use Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases than
from all other medicines l know Of
combined. They cleanse the blood,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says SO positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form Of
Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism. or Blood
Disorders.
