Upon the question Of railway mail

Second. a report signed by Mr.

Third, a report signed by Mr..

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that Is to say, variety Of acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough etc
During the acute stages OF la grippe IT Is
not very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
Ia grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per-
nicious effects of this disease. The major.
ity Of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them OF all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an I'M
told amount of suffering could be averted!
Thousands have already heard how quick
ly this remedy will cure in these cases and
