Remedy, Pe-ru-na.

The day was when men OF prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most pro-
prietary medicines. But Peruna has
become so justly famous, its merits are
known TO 20 many people Of high and
low station that mono hesitates to see his
name in print recommending Peruna.
Thefollowing letters from pastors who
use Pcruna speak for themselves:
Rev. Il. G. Smith, pastor Of the Pres
byterian Church, Of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
any little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh Of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, hut
after taking two bottles of Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared.
For this special malady considerit well
nigh aspeciflc." -Rcv. +. G.. Smith.

tribute to the intuition, genius and
cheerful courage which enabled Lord
Roberts to press on 10 Pretoria with
half his force and three and a half

No other Englishman has been equally

The speech made so profound an i'm

Henry Campbell annerman was pa
triotic enough to second Mr.. Balfour's

Lord Roberts popularity has been wan

acrid criticism that he abandoned the
field without bringing the war to an
end Mr. Balfour's eloquence Will res
