last grand jury, which only returned the
Knox Indictment after a searching and
rigid investigation into legislative pro-
cedure.

Amost notable heroes of the Nineteenth
Century. A name that starts terror in
the heart of every Spaniard. A man of
steady nerve, clear head, undaunted
courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his
opinion was asked as to the efficacy of
Peruna, the national catarrh remedy.
Without the slightest hesitation he gave
this remedy his endorsement. 1t ap-
peared on later conversation that Peruna
has been used in his family, where it is
a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to Indicate
the wonderful hold that Peruna has up.
on the minds of the American people. II
IS out OF the question that so great and
famous a man as Admiral Schley could
have any other reason for giving his en-.
dorsement TO Peruna than his positive
conviction that the, remedy is all that
be says it is.
