A Letter From the Ex-Governor OF

The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admircr of Peruna. He keepsi it
continually in the house. In a letter
to DIR. Hartman, he says:

Dear Sirs---I have had occasion to

It will be noticed that the Governor
saws he has not had occasion to use
Peruna for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin

1t is her boast that the majority

1t is certainly an unusual vocation

most frequently probably in the

For three nights she kept up this

Beginning of Her Career.
Mother and daughter came to Phila-

work Edith finally found employment
in a small candy shop. 1t meant
standing all day long, and it wore the
girl out. Her feet were so swollen she
could scarcely stand, and her back felt
ready to break in two. A customer
talking to her a bit volunteered to try
and find her some easier work. A
day or two later she came back full
of the detective idea. But Miss King
told her it was out of the question.
Finally, however, she promised to go
and call on Mr.. Miller, a special de-
tective and her present employer.
She didn't do it, though. she talked
it over with her mother, and her
mother agreed with her that she
couldn't possibly do it. But the friend

at her. And eventually, since Miss

most in tears she assured him that she
needed work desperately and was will
ing to try anything. He told her to &c
home and take off that finery and re-
port to him in the afternoon and he'd
see what he could do.
She was put to work in the coring and
pairing department. Utterly unfamiliar
with the machinery, she soon had her
fingers sliced and cut in every direction.
Almost incapacitated, less attention
was paid to her chatting with her fellow
workmen than would otherwise have
been. She soon had the confidence of
the men she was looking for, with all
the necessary details. Mr.. Miller had
told her she mightskeep whatever she
earned in the factory, and she and her
mother planned joyously what she would
buy, with it. At the end of the week she
had earned just SO cents at the factory,
but her two men were safe in Uncle

Experience in Chinatown.
She tells, too, Of an experience in
New York's Chinatown, when she was
after a couple of deserters from the
revenue steamer Franklin. Matters
were simplified by the arrest of one at
the entrance of Brooklyn just as she
arrived on the scene. She took her
cue from that, and dressing for the
part went over to Chinatown and
raped on a certain door. A shrill
womaH's voice answered from within,
asking who was there and what was
wanted. A h%esitating answer came to
the effect that Harry Eldriksen had
just been arrested on Brooklyn bridge,
and she was his girl and had a mes

Her first assignment was to find two
deserters from the United States army.
She was told that they were believed to
be employedina certain factory in Phila-

for a job in this same factory and to
shadow the men and try, if possible, to
gain their confidence. Believing firmly
in the moral effect of clothes, she put

Peruna is known from the Atlantic To

and commentator testifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stare and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as :heir greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal. Peruna
is the best safeguard known.
