Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time TO treat Catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards a
cure OF catarrh. II a course of Peruna is
taken during the early spring months the

spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna

of the stomach or bowels with the same
certainty as catarrh of the head.

ICE BOUND VESSELS.
Revenue Cutter Seminole VIII Try to Re-
lease Imprisoned Fishermen.

st. Johns. n b., Feb. 14-Lieut. Stur-
tevant, executive officer Of the United
States revenue cutter Seminole. which is
endeavoring TO reach the ice bound
Gloucester fishing schooners, returned to
Channel Harbor from Bay Islands last
night and reported that he prospect OF
tire vessel reaheifs Bay Islands was de-
cidedly favorable. with a continuance or
the southeast winds.
The drift ice Is four miles off the coast
from the south head entrance of Bay ISL
ands.
The Seminole started at daylight this
morning 10 make a dash and hopes TO
recover the run within ten hours. 1t Is
feared she will have trouble In forcing the
entrance of the bay.
II is asserted here that the Seminole
is not suitable for ice work. Her hui is
pronounced to be weak to contend with
ice two feet thick. The officers OF the
revenue cutter, however, are sanguine OF
success. The officers of the steamer
Bruce. plying between Cape Breton and
Newfoundland, are dubious OF the Semi
nole's chances. They fear she will not
reach Bay islands. The Bruce passed
through forty miles OF heavy ice yester-
day In crossing.
