Rev. E. @. Smith.
Mr.. NJ. J. ROssman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
For a long time I was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using few
bottlesI am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and am now
enjoying better health than have for
years, and can heartily recommend
PerLIH5a TO al similarly afflicted. 1t is
certainly q grand medicine. IN. j.

Catarrh is essentially the same where
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.

full statement of your case and he will

from the attack, and as a result his

INHE day was when men of promi-
- nence hesitated to gi-o their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true today
of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tiOns are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
z. G.. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. z. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby
terian church of Greensboro, Ga, writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rene
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special

special six weeks course in farm prae-
tice in the State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts in Kingston, r. l.
While there he took a course in soils and
fertilizers under Prof. II. l. Wheeler, the
acting President of the college, and a
PhD. from the University of Gottingen.
DR.. Wheeler IS the man who in 1890 be-
gan series of valuable agricultural ex-
periments. He found out by his expert
ments that injurious degree of soil
acidity existed in many parts of Rhode
Island and in some parts of Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York Delaware
Maryland, Virginia and other Eastern
States; that this acidity is injurious to
lettuces, spinage, beets of all kinds cab
bages, rutabages, caulihowers, barley.
buckwheat, rye. oats, red raspberries,
muskmelons, timothy grass. clover and
other plants and that this acidity can be
corrected by judiciousIy lining the soil.
Prof Ferris is now taking six weeks
course in poultry keeping in Kingston,
r. l., after which he will take special
courses in agricultural geology and agri-
cultural experimentation under the guild
ance of DR.. Wheeler, engage in poultry
raising and conduct. agricultural expert
ments on a few of the farms in the
neighbOrhOod. Poultry raising and in
tenSiVe farming are very productive in
dustries in Rhode Island. as one farmer
has been known to raise $4,000 worth of
crops in one year on ten acres of land.
While at Yale PrOfs. Ferris studied
ciology under the famous Prof. William
Graham Sumner and political economy
under President Arthur Twining Hadley
of Yale. He has studied practical sociol-
Ogy in its bearing upon the problem of
the submerged tenth, and is now master
ing rural sociology, that is, sociology as
applied to the industrial and economic
problems which the farmer must neces-
sarily face.
In addition, Prof. Ferris has been in
vited by a few of the wealthy farmers
of Rhode Island to visit their farms and
write accounts of them for the press.
