Hon. C. w. Butts, ex.member Of Con-

Washington, d. C., says:
That Peruna is not only vigorous, as
we'll as an effective tonic, but also cure
of catarrh is beyond controversy. 1t is al
ready established by its use by the thou:
cannot too highly express my appreciation
of its excellence. &C W. Butts.
Dr. r. Robbins, Muskogee, l. T., writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine | know OF
for coughs and to strengthen weak stom-
ach and to give appetite. Beside prescrib-
ing it for catarrh 1 have ordered it for
weak and debilitated people, and have not
had a patient but said it helped him. 1t
is an excellent medicine and it fits so
many cases.
Il nave a large practice, and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. | hope
you may Gye long to do good to the sick
and suffering"
Only the weak need tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause;
One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh. infames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the
form OF mucus This discharge Of mucus Is
the same as the loss OF blood. II produces
weakness.

DANGERS OF UNwasHED FRUIT
Millions Of Disease Germs Cluster
on Small Eunehes.


on Small Eunches.
On that bunch Of cherries you buy
from the Italian on the street corner
and eat with so much relish are clus-
tered four or five millions Of danger
GUS disease germs. Exceedingly
minute they ere, and the flavor Of the
fruit is in no wise impaired by their
presence. but there they are just
the same-micrococci, bacilli, spirilla
whole families Of them.
When we eat an unwashed pear
about 100000 bacteria are carried
into the system, twice that number
on a handful Of garden strawberries,
and still larger numbers on raspber-
ries, grapes and currants. The most
infested fruits are cherries, With
100000 bacteria to the half pound;
currants with 100000 and grapes
with 100000.
A man will readily consume a half
pound of grapes at a sitting, and II
the state of his health leaves him
open to the attacks Of disease, 1t can
be appreciated what a tremendous
risk he runs Of poisonous infection
by the germs.
Not many weeks ago inquiry was
made into the state Of the surface air
n this city. The air for several feet
above the ground was found to be lit
orally swarming with bacteria. Now
1t is a matter of everyday observa-
tion that the fruits exposed for sale
on the sidewalks and curbs of New
York are placed at no great distance
from the pavement, In many In
stances they are so near the ground
as to be in the very center of the
germ-bearing strata of air. The in
ference is obvious. Yet in spite of
these facts, not one il a hundred who
hastily buys an apple or banana on
the corner gives the matter Of bac.
terra the slightest thought, and not
ore in a thousand goes the length
OF taking the sanitary precaution of
washing the fruit-New York Press.

1t is well to nave this truth ever in mind,

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why Pc
runa is called tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system a. little.
1t gives strength by preserving the nu-
cous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness
from the loss Of mucus.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving .
full statement of your case and be viii be
pleased to give you his valuable advice

sergeant Kitty"

Virginia Earl is now an established comic
opera star, a position which the clever little
lady is eminently fitted to .adorn. In Ser
geant Kitty she is credited with genu-
inc hit of the most pronounced sort. The
part of Kitty LaTour, pretty. willful, alto
gether fascinating young woman, whose
airs and graces, coupled with her mischiev-
Gus tendency to play larks. keeps a whole
regiment of soldiers guessing for a time,
affords Miss Earle plenty of opportunities
for the display of her ability as a come
dienne, and admits of her singing num-
Der of catchy songs, besides giving us a
chance to see her in all the glory and gilt
ter of the uniform of a sergeant of Hus-
sars. Mr.. George r. White has surrounded
Miss Earl with a company of singers and
comedians. including JUNE McCree. an &c
centric singing comedian of undoubted abil-
ity; Estelle Wentworth, prima donna So
prano, late of "A Chinese Honeymoon" AL
bert Parr, the noted tenor, last season with
Prince of Pilsen;" Grace Belmont, a clever
soubrette; Harry Stone, comedian Sylvan
Langlois. basso Sara Edwards. contralto;
Harry Braham, Nellie Emerald. George
Mack, Charles Renwich and j. A. Furey.
A large chorus of pretty and shapely girls
are much in evidence in the ensembles. The
production is a superb one with sumptuous
scenic settings and elaborate and costly
costumes. Sergeant Kitty is new and
original comic opera In two acts. The book
and lyrics are by r. H. Burnside and the
