April, May and June constitute the

Increase in Grand Canyon Business

In the year 1900 the Santa F'e carried
S13 passen gers to the Grand Canyon of
Arizona; in 1903 the number is given as
Il 704-a remarkable increase, partly
due to better transportation and hotel
facilities, but mainly the result of per-
sistent and consistent advertising. The
gain over 1902 is more than $1,000 being
nearly double. When the new 800, 900
hotel at Bright Angel (nOw building) is
ready, another big jump in the visitors
total may be looked for.

Ny cashier has used your Peruna for
indigestion with the most unexampled
and beneficial results, and cannot too
highly or earnestly recommend its gen.

Indigestion is most always followed BY
catarrh Of the stomach.
There is no use of taking remedies to
paliate indigestion
There is no use calling it dyspepsia
and then taking pepsin and other rene
dies to produce artificial digestion.
The only rational procedure IS cure
the catarrh of the stomach. The ca
tarrh once cured indigestion disappears
and there is no more dyspepsia Taking
artificial digestants is simply temporiz-
ing with the difficulty. In this way val
VA BILE time is lost while the catarrh is
fastening itself stronger and stronger
upon the mucous membrane OF the
stomach.
A very short course Of treatment with
Peruna IS sufficient to cure these cases.

authorities and the most conspicuous
people in the land
