It was the Times that saved the

M. c. Gee, NJ. d.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

factory results from the use of Peruna

MIR. MALVIN ON MASONRY.
Mr.. POSTMASTER:

L accept with pleasure the assign
ment to speak for Masonry, because
it requires but little for me to say.
The great organization speaks for it
self. For ages it has been telling
it's story, with an elOquence which no
human lips can command, and lis
tening mankind has responded to its
words with an applause that reaches
round the world. This order in
stituted by virtuOuS men, sustained
and supported by honest and worthy
ones, has grown and thriVed, until
to-day it stands the wonder and admir-
alton of all the children of men. For
morality it takes its place by the side
of the church; for charity and phil
anthropy among its members, it leads
all others and for internal beauty and
sublime granduer it occupies the most
exalted place of any creation concelV-
ed by man. 1t has taught men how
to live; has helped them to careers OF
usefulness; has held the star of hope
above them and through its teach
ings has contributed to the Upbu1ldlns
of civilization throughout the world
The living bear loud witness and the

il, has done; while the coming gener-
,tions are sure to offer their praise
