A telegram to the Morning News
from H. p. Chandler Sons & Co. Of
Baltimore, says: THE Associated
Press dispatches announcing that our
building was destroyed in the big fire
was a mistake. The flames reached
us on the north, east, and west, and
our building was the bulwark which
withstood the onward progress OF the
fire at Hanover and Lombard toward
the south, and saved from destruction
the other large houses south Of us on

The names and addresses to these

One-half of the diseases which af-
fiict mankind are due to some ca
tarrhal arrangement of the mucous
membrane lining some organ or pas
sage of the body.
A remedy that would act immedi-
ately upon the congested mucous
membrane restoring it to a normal
state, would consequently cure all
these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether 1t be in the
head, throat, lungs. stomach, kidneys
or pelvic organs. A remedy that will
cure it In one location will cure 1t in
all locations. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,

valuable advice gratis.
