JOSEPHINE MORRIS, $50 Carroll
St, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
"Peruna is fine medicine to take any
time of the year, but have found it es-
pecially helpful to withstand the wear
and tear of the hot weather. / have
taken it now for two summers and feel
that it has kept my system free from
malaria, and also kept me from having
that worn-out, dragged out look which
SO many women have.
q" l therefore have no hesitancy in say
ing that l think it is the finest tonic in
the world. Josephine Morris.
Peruna is frequently used as mitiga-
ton of the effects of hot weather. What
bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the
mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the
skin healthy, Peruna makes the mu-
cous membranes clean and healthy.
With the skin and mucous membranes
in good working order, hot weather can
be withstood with very little suffering.
Frequent bathing with an occasional
use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the
horrors of hot weather. Many ladies

off the reef and began to sink. Capt.

the boats lowered. One of the boats
got away from the ships side loaded
with part of the crew and some of the
passengers was capsized as soon as it
cleared the ships side and when last
seen was floating away in the fog with
out living soul aboard.
The captains boat with about 18
aboard succeeded in clearing, but was
also capsiZed and only seven were able
to get back to the boat. They consist
ed of Capt. James Mcintyre, John Rel
mer, Emanuel Pazominis, w. L. Will
son, l.. Baker, Guy Bent and Al Bailey.
They reached Port Oxford Monday
night. A life boat on which the follow.
ing embarked succeeded in reaching
shore Tuesday afternoon:

ond assistant engineer; John McKown,
oiler; j. Driscoll, oiler; w. Hughes,
fireman; W. Robertson, fireman; Jas.

The survivors suffered much from
exposure and Capt. Mcintyre is con-
fined to his bed.
