nervous, run down. weary and weak
Is it to be wondered when there is
a general running down of all the
organs, creating chance for the great
national ailment, catarrh to make in
roads upon the constitution?
Debility of any kind leads to ca
tarrh. and catarrh will attack that
organ which is the weakest
If 1t is the stomach, it will become
catarrh of the stomach.
If II is the kidneys, it will become
catarrh of the kidneys.
If 1t is the female organs. it will
become female catarrh or result in
catarrhal nervousness, otherwise
termed nervous prostration.
There are tens of thousands of suf-
fering women who could be relieved
of their ills if they were fully CONVEX
SAINT with the power of Peruna in re-
lieving catarrhal ailments of every
character.
We have thousands of testimonials
like that of Mrs Frye, touching the
merits of Peruna as a remedy for all
catarrhal diseases.
Do not delay Buy Peruna to-day.
Procrastination is the ally of catarrh
Don't let any one persuade you that
there is any remedy that can be sub
stituted for Peruna. Pay no attention
to limitations.
The success of Peruna has tempted
great many people to invent some
thing to take the place of it, There is
no such remedy. Insist upon having
Peruna. Take no other.

Pickens, the young colored man, who
graduated with high honors at Yale
a month ago. has just been notified
of his election to membership in the

Pickens' failure to receive the election
to which he seemed eligible, as a high
stand man, it was given out at the
time that the society had adopted a
rule that men who had not entered
college, when the class as a whole en-
tered should be considered as not en-
titled to election, except by special
consent of the society. 1t was said
this rule barred Pickens. but the So
ciety now seems to have made an ex-
ception in his case. He is the only
colored man belonging to the society.
