lation and commentator testifying TO
the merits OF Pcruna as a catarrh rem.
edy are pouring in from every State Of

Dr. Hartman Is receiving hundreds
Of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters. from tho highest TO the

The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san. the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preachcr-all agree that Pc.
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age
The etage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are
especially enthusiastic in their praise
anu testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect heath
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh Is well-nigh UNIVERSAL; almost
omnipresent.
1eruna Is the only absolute safe
guard known. A cold Is the beginning
of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure
colds, is to cheat catarrh of its vic.
tins.
eeruna not only cures catarrh, but pre-.
vents 1t. Every Household should be sup.
piled with this great remedy for coughs

among which may be mentioned st.

indeed all railroad shares have felt the
stimulation of glowing prospects and
rapidly reviving confidence.

The collision on the Grand Trunk rail-
road last week at Richmond. P. O.,
claimed ST. Johnsbury man as one of
its. victims. Two men from here
Theodore Richards and Ernest Beck,
were on the train when the accident hap
pened. Both men were in the smoker
and with two other men were sitting in
two seats facing each other. Mr.. Beck
in describing the accident said that the
first thing wrong that came to his atten-
ton was the sudden setting of brakes
which almost threw him from his seat.
The next instant there was a terrible
shock and he has a dim recollection of
being hurled through the top of the car
which ''jackknifed" upwards. He remem-
bers the man sitting in the same seat
with him, brushing against him in the
air. Beck fell on barb wire fence beside
the track which broke his fall so that his
only injuries were bruises. The man
who went through the top OF the car
with him fell under the car as it topp1ed
over and both of his legs were broken.
Richards was sitting facing him in the
next seat and he was pinned in the car
by a piece of the iron car seat going
through the middle of his body injuring
him so that he died about half an hour
later. The man sitting with Richards
he never saw again. About 10 men were
killed in this car and a number more
severely injured, so Mr.. Beck's escape is
miraculous. Both men worked for 81.

The chronological problem Is a some
what complicated one; but, although
there are no fewer than sixteen races
represented among the village jewellers,
the scouts and the constabulary, each
race speaking its own dialect and fol-
lowing it's own customs, all may be
roughly classified into four groups
the true aboriginals or non-Malays, the
pagan Malays, the Christian Malays
and the Mohammedan Malays.
The first are the dwarf Negritos, with
dark skins and woolly heads, wearers

Next to them are the Igorrotes,
whose origin is traced back to the first
wave of Malay invasion. Here, again,
we have scanty clothing, amounting
almost to nudity, but copper colored
skins, long wavy tresses, pleasant fea-
tured faces and fine physiques, even
though the stature be small. Among
these pagan Malays are the head hunt

Mi-o-na is a remarkable preparation
that tones up the digestive organs and
quickly gives perfect health and strength.
1t will cure the worst case OF indigestion
or the depressed irritated state that
aff1icts nearly every one who has
stomach trouble. 1t is not a mere di
gestive like the pepsin tablets, but is a
remedy that absolutely and positively
cures dyspepsia and restores perfect
health to the digestive system.
W. B. Eastman can tell you of many of
his customers who recommend Mi-o-na
because it cured them. Better than all
testimonials. though. is the guarantee
under which Mi-o-na is sold. 1t is
plain, positive statement that If this
remedy does not relieve ron ofindigestion,
il will cost you absolutely nothing.
