Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every
state in the Union. DR.. Hartman is
receiving hundreds of such letters
daily. All classes write these letters
from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk the editor. the states
man, the preacher-an agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are
especially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well nigh universal; almost
omnipresent Peruna is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with
this great remedy for coughs, colds
and SO forth.

A Diamond Ring for Christmas.

DR.. George F. Payne of Atlanta,
president of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association, received for
Christmas a diamond ring from the
pharmacists of the L. S. Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, as a
token of their esteem and grateful ap-
probation for his unselflsh devotion in
their behalf, and as a symbol of their
sincere admiration"
The American Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation has been deeply interested for
some time in securing better recogni-
ton for pharmacists. DR.. Payne has
been the leader of the movement. He
took up the subject some time ago in
the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation and was made the chairman of
a committee of leading pharmacists
throughout the country. In this
work the committee has been heartily
supported by all the pharmacists in
every state and territory. The phar-
macists and hospital stewards of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service have secured during the past
few months a very considerable por-
ton of the advancement and recogni-
ton so earnestly desired by all phar-
macists.

This will be the first convention of
the kind ever held in the state, and an
effort will be made to form a perma-

Postmaster Harry Blum has been at
work for some time arranging for the
convention and has about gotten it into
shape. The matter to be decided on
now is just what time in February
will be most agreeable for the largest
number to come to Savannah.
There are between seven and eight
hundred postmasters in the state, and
it is expected that out of this number
two or three hundred will attend the
convention.
A petition will shortly be presented to
the Chamber of Commerce asking the
assistance of that body in entertain
ing the visitors during their stay IN

1t is the idea now to have the con-
vention last three days, during which
time a regular programme will be car

features.
There are many things pertinent to
