A Letter From Julia MarIoWe.
In a recent letter to The Peruna Medi.

Peruna:
II am glad to write my endorsement
of the great remedy, Peruna, as nerve
tonic. I do SO most heartily. Julie
Marlowe.
Nervousness is very common among
women This condition is due to anenic
nerve centers. The nerve centers ara
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want OF
proper nutrition. This is especially trua
in the warm season. Every summer q
host of invalids are produced as the di-
rect result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by ths
| use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the difficulty by correcting tho

ton for the nerve centers. Properly dix
| gested food furnishes these reservoirs
of life with vitality, which leads ia
strong, steady nerves, and thus hours
| ishes life.
The unsolicited praise that Peruna
receives surely proves that Peruna Is
! without an equal as nerve tonic and
vital lnvigorator.

Douglas ana COrcOran READY Tor
Their Next Fray.
Fred Douglas and Tommie Corcoran
are in condition for their go Wednes-
day night in. the arena of the Savan-
nah Athletic. Club, and the battle
promises to be one of the best ever
occurring in this city, as the two men
are evenly matched and old rivals
1t is the opinion of those who know
the fighters that the bout will go some
distance. Douglas is conceded to be
the clever of the two, though Corcoran
is a brute for taking punishment.
Douglas is apt to have the best of the
early rounds, and if he can hand the
right wallop, will win; but if not, Cor
coran, with his strength and stamina,
is likely to win out. Corcoran has de-
feated Douglas twice, and the latter
Corcoran once. Douglas is conceded
to be improving all the time. and has
many followers who believe he will
again take Corcoran's measure.
Eddie Lenny and Joe Fairburn, the
lightweights, who are matched to meet
in this city on the night of the 10Th,
will arrive here during the week ana
begin training for the event. 1t will
be remembered that these men met
in this city once before, Lenny winning
in the eighteenth round, though up to
the time the punch came, <xFsirburn
had held his own, and, if anything,
had the advantage.

A PRIZE FIGHTERS STORY
1t Was for n WOman's Love That
Joe Goddard Fought.

1t Was for n wOman's Love That
Joe Goddard Fought.
A weIl-known sporting authority tells
this pathetic story about the Barrier
Champion:
"Feebly burns life's candle for Joe
Goddard, the world-famed Barrier
Champion He is dying in Camden,
n. J., from abscess of the brain. In
an election quarrel last July he was
shot, the bullet remaining in his brain.
Around the leaden bullet the abscess is
forming, and it is but a matter of a
few days until death comes.
1T was for love of a woman that
James Bradley, known for the last
twenty years as Joe Goddard, a New
South Wales miner, took to the prize
ring. The same young woman for
whom he fought is now his wife and
mother of his four children, living at
ESQ Dorcas street, South Melbourne,
Australia.
with the possible exception of John
L. Sullivan, Goddard has reaped
larger harvest from the field of pugi-
hsm than any other man who ever DON
ned the gloves. He was a man who,
when in good condition, was full of

alertness marvellous, and many times
when his opponents had considerd him
a beaten man, the old fighters wonder
full reserve strength would we'll up
within him, and there would be moth
ing in sight but Joe Goddard until the
bout was ended. The dying man never
was what his brethren call AN actor
man. such as Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons. He was always Joe Goddard
ak q.
until the now apparent end"
Joe was born in Pyarmul, in the gold
fields of New South Wales, in 1862
When he had reached maturity he
was regarded as one of the most
dangerous men with his fists that Aus
tralia contained, and he said himself
that his -uncouth environment had
much to do with the shaping of his
hard career.
After purchasing a comfortable home
for his parents and seeing them well
fixed for life. Goddard sailed for San
Francisco, where he continued his vic
tOrious career. The scalps of Joe Nc
Auliffe and Billy Smith were soon
added to. Joes belt, and when he en-
tered the ring with Denver Ed" Smith,
at New Orleans, his confidence in
himself was supreme. Joe placed &c.,
900 of his own money on the result
fighting saw his little fortune vanish
as he fell to the floor before a hard
blow from Smith.
Goddard's ferocity was reused to a
high pitch after this, and when he met
a man in the ring the fiercest kind of
fighting ensued. In less than three
rounds, for $4,000, he made William
Kennedy grovel at Roby, Ind, and in
Philadelphia he hammered Joe Butler
fearfully and sent him down in less
than three rounds.
Joe returned to Australia in 1892,
and won and lost several fortunes
there. His career then became a whirl
of strenuousness. He fought with the
English forces in Matabeleland, march
ing 1000 miles across a parching> des-
ert with his regiment, sometimes half
dead from lack of food and drink.
