Mr.. NJ. J. Rossman, prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that place,
writes:
"For long time I was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after using few
bottles 1 am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and 1 am
now enjoying better health than have
for years. 1t is certainly grand medi-
cine."-M. J. Rossman.
Hon. S. D. McEnery, United States
Senator from Louisiana, says the follow

THE day was when men of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. e. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used PerUna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. Ny little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for Some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of PeruRa the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady consider it well nigh q
specific. As a tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few q no equals.''-

the fact remains that the meat trust

The book trust has been proved by
hdisputable evidence to be one Of the
most rapacious trusts. charging three
times as much for its products here as
abroad. This should entitle it TO be
classed amongst the bad trusts and
the tariff law amended accordingly.
The list Of bad trusts might be ex-
sended into hundreds. and a number
cited who are selling cheaper abroad
than here. but the few above described
should at once receive the attention Of
congress and their protection be re-
moved.
Tho republicans have been declaring
from every stump that they will re-
form the tariff. so that the trusts shall
not continue to rob the people by
charging them excessive prices for
trust productions. They also said that
the tariff must be reformed by its
friends. so that business interests may
not suffer. and il il incumbent on the m

Schwab dances. and yet the republic
cans as a party, have declined to re-
form this tariff. which protects the
trusts that rob the people OF the
money that Is squandered in the way
above mentioned.
That such a gambler and spend.
thrift should be entrusted with the
enormous business and millions Of the
steel trust is an anomaly in the busi-
ness world that is even more wonder
full than the creation of the trusts
themselves.
The end Of such career is as sure
to be disastrous as the breakdown OF
the trust itself with its overcapitah-
cation and subsidy profits. The peo-
pie are intent on removing the latter,
