General Observations.
The more important observations
and recommendations of Gen. Miles
are as follows:
THE general condition of the troops

themselves and to the country. The
officers and soldiers made a good APP
pearance.
las the result of my observations it
is my Judgment that the discon tinu
ance of the liquor feature of the can
teen has been beneficial to the army.
Now that the temptation has been re-
moved from the immediate presence
of the young men of the army, they are
less likely to indulge in the use of
liquor.
THE number of troops that will be
required to occupy the Philippine
islands is still problematical. While
it is claimed that the people are paci-
fed, evidences of hostility toward
American sovereignty are apparent.

DR.. M. E. Gees Experience.

DIR. M. G. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
Cal, he says:
"There is q general objection on the
part of the pracficing physician to adj
Vocafe patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds of
people, it demonstrates its own value
and does not need the endorsement OF
the profession.
"Peruna has performed SO many
wonderful cures in San Francisco thai
am convinced that it Is & valuable
remedy. IhaVe frequently advised its
use for women, as 1 find 1T inSures

consider it one of the finest catarr1
remedies know of. Heartily endorse

Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is COM
monty called. Especially in the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis
agreeable symptoms of female weakness
make themselves apparent In crisp,
cold weather chronic sufferers with pei
vic catrrrh do not feel SO persistently the
facilitating effects of the drain upon
the system. but at the approach of
summer with it's lassitude and tired
feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh
feels the need of a Strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the. best spring
tonic for such cases but if persisted in
will effect a complete cure. Write for a
copy of Health and Beauty written
especially for women by Dr. Hartman.
If you w ant to read of some cures also,
write for a copy of g Facts and Faces. ;"
That will surely convince you that our
