 SALEM, May 9, 1893. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,, Colum- bus, O.:
 Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, w. M Lord. It will be noticed that the Gov ernor says he has not had occasion to use Fortuna for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-runa to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia grippe. and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled Winter Catarrh.' Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

such schools Of industry shall be
built up for all; when our young
men learn that the highest type OF
manhood is shown in him who by
honest industry supplies the wants
OF himself and those dependent on
him. 1t is a most lamentable
tact that many, very many, Of our
young men, after leaving school,
have no way of making a living
unless they go to teaching. The
result is that we have a very large
class OF young men waiting for
something to turn up, who think
they are educated, who are too
proud to work and who are too
poor to live without work. The
few who succeed in getting an Of

who must earn livelihood by the
