two methodical firemen in uniform upon
the right and the left. they pulled down
the offending stuff hand over hand like
sailors cdiling a rope and stamped out
the place.
At the gala performance in the Metro

the best known persons in the city, fire
broke out upon the stage behind the

A constantly increasing number 81
physicians prescribe Peruna in their

thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Pcfuna occupies . unique position In

EVERYONE will admit, is the cause of one
