Peruna.

MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
1S4 Superintendent Of the w. c.. II. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg, Ill, was for
ten years one of the leading women there.
Her husband, when living, was first
President of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 4O1 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard to
Peruna:
SHaving lived a very active life as wife
and working partner of busy minister,
my health failed me few years ago. 1
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually I seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of
an invigorator.
"One of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was imnediafe-

place in my daughters as well as I'm

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
snbject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it SO admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais-
ing 1t. Peruna is not palliative SIM
ply: it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend

HON. MARCUS A. HANNA. Chairman
. .Repu6EicGm National EeecuttVe COM
naittee, CIeUeIdnd, ohio.
Honorable Strive beg to submit
to you and through you to the Nation
al Executive Committee, which we
have the honor to represent,
First. Under the call of State Chair
man William Vaughan, for the assem-
bling of the Republican State Conven-
ton in the city of Birmingham, Ala,
Sept. Is, 16 and II, 1902, the Republi
cans of Alabama, in obedience to said
call, assembled i'll various boats and
counties of the State respectively, and
selected delegates thereto, as had been
their custom heretofore, but an un-
paralleled surprise confronted and de-
moralized the. true Republicans of the
State, and in that way they were de-
MED admittance to and seats in the
State Convention on account of color.
Second. Following the guidance of
Chairman Vaughan, Ex-U. S. District
Attorney, Collector Julian H. Bing-
han and DR.. J. w. Hughes, postmaster
of Birmingham, the party was out
ragged and outlawed by the setting
principles, doctrines rules, tenets and
practical workings of the party, set
ung up for themselves and followers
an organization that is certainly at va
rance with the counsel of the party
by denying participation to all dele
cations having, in part or whole, col
Ored delegates-no colored man being
pei mitted, even, to gaze upon the au-
gust cOnvention(O while Democrats
were complimented with tickets of ad-
mHtence to the floor of the convention
pl oper and into the gallery of the
convention hall. This line of the
above nefarious policy was followed
up by absolutely subverting all Boat,
county and district committees where
Negro representation appeared so that
from the date of the Birmingham
'Lily-White" State Convention to this
day no Negro is allowed a part in
the organization then and now domi-
mating by the parties hereinbefore
written.
Third. The loyal Republicans of Ala
bama, who desired to see justice met
ed out all the Republicans, regardless
of race, color, or previous condition,
becoming alarmed at the appalling sit
uation, proceeded to call mass State
convention, to resuscitate and reor-
ganize the party at Selma, Ala, De
cember 18th, 1902, where an organiza
tion was perfected by the selection of
a Stae Executive Committee and
placed at its head the Hon. William
j. Stevens, of Admission, as chairman,
and John NJ. Gee, of Selma, as secreta-
ry, who were given instructions to
bend their energies in organizing all
boats, counties and districts in the
State thoroughly, a duty which the
comitte has cheerfully performed with
much earnestness and which effort has
been promptly crowned with success.
