bell and gave the final order to Cast

turned gently out into the stream as
it was caught by the current. The en-
gines made but one revolution. Then
came the terrible explosion and ali
was chaos, darkness and death. The
number of those who lost their lives by
the explosion was never known. About
100 bodies were recovered and It was
supposed that there were as many
more victims whose bodies were new

boat were killed, among them Captain
Belt; but Clerk Joseph Blackburn; the
two pilots, Charles La Berge and Lew

wheel, and the second engineer, Josiah
Choncy, who was on watch at the
time. Captain Bolt was at his post
on the hurricane deck, standing with
his hand resting on the bell, when the
crash came. He was blown high up
in the air and his body when found
was a broken, mangled mass Of flesh
and bones. The bell which had just
sounded the death knell Of so many
unfortunate ones was blown high upon
the bank, where IL was found unin-

DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
Of U. s. Treasury Department, graduate OF
Columbia College and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
d" Allow me to express my gratitude
20 you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myselfa we'll man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure you"
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruua does. Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experiment-it
is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna
has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna.
A free book written by DR.. Hartman,
on the subject of catarrh in It's differ
ent phases and stages, will be sent free
to any address by The Peruna Medi-
cine Co.. Columbus, Ohio.
