says:
"AIlOw me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from one
bottle of Peruna. One week has
brought wonderful changes and I am
now as we'll as ever. Besides being
one of the very best spring tOnlcs It Is

physician recommended all extended
vacation. When life seemed almost q
burden began taking Peruna, and
with the use of the fifth bottle l found
myself in normal condition. have
since enjoyed the best of health"
Almost everybody needs tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate the brain, and
cleanse the blood. That Peruna will
do this is beyond all question. Every
one who has tried it has had the same
experience as Mrs. D. w. Timberlake,
of Lynchburg, Va, who, in recent
letter, made use of the following words
II always take dose of Peruna after
business hours, as it is great thing
for the nerves. There is no better
spring tonic, and have used about
all of them"

IS in better condition to fight fire than
It was a year or two years ago. The
construction Of the reservoir already
alluded TO, and tho substitution Of large
mains for the smaller pipes that have

cllitles for the conveyance of water to

pressure upon the mains so that

companies will give our business men
good and sufficient reasons for the

opinion that they viii not complain.
But IN the attack which has been made
upon our city they have only damaged
their cause, and the feeling prevails
that they are holding up" the men
and firms and corporations that have
means invested, because the power Is
at present In their hands to do so.
We join In the general denial that
this city is in the condition pictured By
the insurance companies, and ask that
the undeseryed stigma they have man
ufactured be removed so far as posi-
bic, that Salt Lake City may not ap-
pear in an improper light before the
