All Over the United States Use Peru
ma for Catarrh.


ma for Catarrh.
A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in the
Southwest reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Saws.
Il can testify from experience to
the efficiency of Peruna as one of
the very best medicines, and it gives
me pleasure to add my praise to that
of thousands who have used it. For
years 1 suffered with catarrh of the
stomach, all remedies proving value
less for relief. Last spring I went to
Colorado, hoping to be benefited by
change of climate, and while there
friend advised me to try Peruna. Att
er using two bottles I found myself
very much improved. The remains
of my old disease being now so slight
l consider myself cured, yet for
while 1 intend to continue the use of
Peruna. l am now treating another
patient with your medicine. She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhoea. l have no doubt
that cure will be speedily effected"
These are sample of letters received
by DIR. Hartman from the various or
tiers of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these
letters have been withheld from re-
SpcCl W the olSleTS, Out Will be fur
nished on request.
One-half of the diseases which affict
mankind are due to some catarrhal
arrangement of the mucous mem brane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act immedi
ately upon the congested mucous
membrane. restoring it to its normal
state, would consequently cure all
these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether it be in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys
or pelvic organs. A remedy that will
cure it in one location will cure it in
all locations.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hart
man, giving full statement of your
case, and ne will be pleased to give
you his valuable advice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus.

farewell &c the statesman whom he had
known, trusted, and loved from his
earliest childhood, and who had repeat

There is a world in that phrase. For it
brings home to the free citizens of this
great Republic the fact once more that
monarchs are not free agents. and that
the possession of a crown entails subn1is-
sion TO a species of gilded slavery. Of
which the people here can form no con
ception.

of small piece, After that it is cut
up Iength#ays. and with one or two dex-
ferrous turns of the knife the flesh is
removed from the rind and cut up into
small, thin slices, which are pushed out
alternately by the knife.
The origin Of this method is believed
to be found in the Korantc precept
which pTescribes that when an animal is
killed for food. its throat must be cut
in order that It's blood may run out. Be
this as 1t may, the fact remains that
anyone who ventures TO slice and pre-
pare melon in any other way is regarded
by the well-bred Mohammedan much in
the same way as we should look upon a

who peels a pear latitudfnalIy and cir
