minister to their bodily needs
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a neverfa failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the

received from a Catholic institute ton in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who
used the Peruna was suffering from

of the treatment was most safiSfac-

after further use of the medicine we
hope to be able to say she is entirely

the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good
results as the above letter testifieS.

His love was true; his eyes were olue'

The waters laughed about the craft
That bore this sailor lad,
And ran and danced and upward sprang,
AS though they might be glad.

Whereat he stood full fair,
Then, fastening to the sandy shore,
They kissed the white feet there.
With upraised hand, feet in the sand.
With kirtle red and white,

And watched him sail from sight.

At striking of some bells.
