man frallties and imperfections. Public men among us can do wrong. There is no such thing as royalty or titled nobility or hereditary prerogative in the United States. With us there are no artificial distinction, and one good man is as good as another, and as much sanctity sur rounds the life of one as it does the other.
 ''The murder of the humblest citizen in our land Is just as heinous just as felon- ious as that of the greater or most dis tinguished. Murder is murder upon who- soever inflicted, and a human life by whomsoever enjoyed. The life of the high est officer in the country or that of any ambassador of a foreign government is no more precious In the sight of God than that of the humblest and most insig- nificant resident of our great republic.
 He points out that Booth, Guiteau and Czolgosz, Presidential assassins, have met death. He holds that the states should deal with the subject, and that this federal law probably would magnify the importance of assassination in the distempered fancy of those seeking to destroy rulers.

 "I have suffered for long time with severe headaches, caused from catarrh. Some time ago I was confined to my bed. I had severe pains in the region of my kidneys, I read of Peruna in little pamphlet, and purchased bottle, and felt little better. l continued taking it faithfully and feel better than 1 have for fifteen years. Your Peruna has done wonders for me, and am free to say that no words of mine can frame sem tence strong enough in praise of what Peruna has done for me-" s. R. PARKINSON. MT. H. W. Hawes, No. 1O9 Grove St., San Francisco, Cal, writes:
 "For nine years was sufferer from catarrh. I was advised by friend to try Peruna. After taking one bottle noticed much improvement, and the second cured me. I freely recommend Peruna to suffering humanity"
