MEDICAL EXAMINER

Other Prominent Physicians Use

DR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medi-
IL cal Examiner of the U. S. Treasury
Department, graduate of Columbia Col
lege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following TO say of Peruna:
"AHow me to express my graft
fude to you for fhe benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and 1 now
consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf-
ferers, Peruna will cure you"
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Pcruna in their
practice. II has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their.preiudice against so call
ed patent medicines and recommend it
TO their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which aflicts mank ind.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Thousands o: theatre goers all over the
country who have agreed with Louis
Mann that sit is to laugh" when they
have seen him az tho inn-keeper in 1.-THE
Girl from Paris as the inspector Of
telephones in THE Telephone Girl" or in
other roles that have kept his audiences
convulsed, will recognize the fact that in
''The Second Fiddle" Mr. Mann has gone
a step higher and has established a place
for himself in what may be called more
legitimate comedy. AS Leopold, the COM
poser of unproduced operas, he has
all the opportunity thar can be given an
actor to show what there is in him and
he never falls short of the possibilities.
There is something irresistibly funny about
his every appearance. and as he is on the
stage most of the time ut is to laugh"
from the rising of the curtain until the
going down thereof. His fun is apparent
ly so spontaneous that one wonders
whether his everyday life is not one long
comedy. The dialect which marked his
earlier characters is also made q part Of
his impcrsonation of the poor musician
but in n bright little speech which he
made after tho second act he showed
that it had not become a permanent fix

insufficient. Exceptions were allowed the
plaintiff and the case goes to the supreme
court. This case was an action to recov-
er damages for the death of II brother of
the plaintiff in the lookup at WinOoski.
where he was smothered by smoke.
Judgment was rcdcrcd in the case of

The PUBLIC WHARF
It Will Be Built at Foot of
Maple Street
City Attorney BRO Hn Declares Ena-
bling Act to he Unconstitutional
and Discovery Made That the
City HIS Other Rights

Two facts Of Importance were brought
out Tuesday afternoon at the special
meeting of the board of aldermen. One
was Il recommendation from the COM
mittce that n public wharf be built at
the foot of Maple street and the other
was the opinion of City Attorney
Brown that the act passed by the Leg
islaturc enabling the city to sequcster
property for a public wharf was UNI
constitutional.
The question Of securing n public
wharf has been under consideration by
the board for months. the special COM
mittec having the matter in charge con-
sisting of Mayor Burke. Aldermen H..
G. Willard. Thomas Reeves. J. w. COf-
fey and T.. i. Morgan and City Engi-
nccr j.. o. Sinclair.
THIS committee has had under con-
sideration several propositions, but
they were unable to conclude pur-
chase with any owners of property.
The discovery that the enabling act
was unconstitutional led the commit
| tee to look elsewhere and they finally
discovered that the city had an undis-
putcd title to land at the foot of Maple
street. hence their recommendation.
| The enabling act in question was
passed at the session of the Lcgisla-
turc in 1902, and has been supposed
to be legal up to the time it was in
vestigatcd by City Attorney Brown.
The report of the dock committee Ia
the board Tuesday afternoon was as
