IHE GREAT AMERICAN THREE
WASHINGTON. LINCOLN AND LEE.
Another century's come and gone
And this old world still wags along,
Keeping her place among tue spheres
She has held for many thousand years.
Three mighty men have passed away
Ana rest beneath their country's clay;
The names OF these immortal three
are Washington, lincoln and Lee.
The first of these God made, no doubt.
To start this nation on her route,
And then, to keep her on her course.
DID with the Others reinforce
From breakers dark her course to steer.
To aid her in her bold career.
To carve and shape her destiny.
He brought forth then Lincoln and Lee.
The bloody chasm, deep and wide,
Il filled up smooth from side to side,
And now our country takes her place
The foremost nation in the race.
She proudly claims to be the peer
or any on this mundane sphere,
Owing her proud supremacy
To Washington, Lincoln and Lee.

Pneumonia Contagious

American medicine directs attention to
the recent great increase of pneumonia
in the United States, much of il due. il is
supposed, to colds caught during the
present coal famine. The Bulletin OF the
Chicago Health Department produces
striking figures. In the last two wears.
il is stated, the deaths from pneumonia
have been one eight of all. one-third more
than from pulmonary tuberculosis. and
10 per cent. more than from all other
contagious and infectious diseases com
biued. During the first / I DAYS of Jan
uray, 1903, more than one-fifth OF all
deaths were due TO pneumonia While
consumption shows decrease in Chicago
in the last 40 years of 20 per cent. pneu-
monia shows an increase OF per cent
it is held that pneumonia is highly con-
tagious. 1--WE wonder" says American
Medicine, whether thefact that patients
and their friends ignore the contagious
ness OF pneumonia is often due to profes-
sional negligence. An exaggerated con-
ception OF the contagiousness of tober-
eulosis is held by this lay world. but
pneumonia is, OF course, far more con.
tagious. And patients and profession
alike have not realized the new fact that
the mortality OF pneumonia is in some
cities and parts Of tue country higher
than the tuberculosis -
Pneumonia is highly contagious dis
ease, the cause of which is a micro. organ
ism in the sputa OF those suffering from
the malady, aud contracted by inhaling
this germ. Therefore, the same care
should be taken to collect and destroy
the sputa that is taken in pulmonary
tuberculosis, or in diphtheria or influenza.

deal Of good. / was so well satisfied
that purchased another bottle and fol-
lowed the directions, and can say that it

A large per cent Of those who arc
afflicted with this epidemic. instead of
getting well as they ought to, will have
chronic catarrh as the result. This is
almost invariably the case unless Pc
runa is taken "a soon as possible after
the grip begins.
Every one who has observed the effect
Of Peruna during the last three epidem-
les OF Ia grippe positively knows that
this remedy will cure il permanently.
The fact Is, however, that a great null
utude of people will not take Peruna,
and a foundation for chronic catarrh

Even in cases where chronic catarrh
has affected the lungs, and the early
stages of catarrhal consumption have
been developed, Peruna can be relied
upon as a prompt and lasting cure. La
grippe and catarrh are at present the
two great enemies of life in the land.
Peruna is a cure for either.
