Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to
use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved to b,
an excellent remedy. have not had
occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly. w. NJ. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Gov
ernor says he has not had occasion
to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments.
The reason for this is, most other
ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na 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 tho
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 DIR. Hartman's free book,
entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address
DIR. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Potosi journal., 1902-02-19

Pe-ru-na is known from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. Letters of con-
graduation and commendation testi-
flying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as
catarrh remedy are pouring in from
every State in the Union. DR.. Hart
man is receiving hundreds of such
letters daily. All classes write these
letters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor
artisan, the clerk. the editor, the
statesman, the preacher-all agree
that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy
of the age. The stage and rostrum,
recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusias-
tic in their praise and testimony.
ANY man who wishes perfect
health must be entirely free from
catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh uni
versal; almost omnipresent. Peru
ma is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure
colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its
victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs. colds and
so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

THE FAITH OF

Washington was reverent of every

sion that the profane use of the name
of God made upon him is shown by this
order, issued while he was commander
in chief of the army:

Many and pointed orders have been is
sued against the unmeaning and abomina-
bic custom of swearing. notwithstanding g
which. with much regret the general OBJ
serves that 1t prevails. If possible, more
than ever; his feelings are continually
wounded by the oaths and imprecations of
the soldiers whenever he is in hearing OF
them. The name of the Being from whose
hourtiful goodness We are permitted to
exist ard enjoy the comforts of life is in
cessautly imprecated and profaned in a
manner as wanton as it is shocking

Words that ring as true S whe they

Washington was not only believer
in prayer, but man Of prayer. Many
instances of this are related. How on
one occasion he sought shelter from a
storm for the night at a house where
he was unknown, and where, owing to
the dangers of the war, he was received d
with fear and doubling, but when, a after
retiring to his room. the woman heard
him in prayer, she exclai8sd to her
husband: "Now l know that he is a
good man, and we are safe" The story
of the sufferings of the little American
army through that darksome winter
at Valley Forge will be told as long as
our history endures. And as part of it
will endure the oft-told incident OF
how as the good old Quaker owner of

was startled by hearing a solemn voice.
