Hon. VIM. G. Hunter, Ex-member North Carolina
Legislature, writes from the Census Office Building,
Washington, ID. c., as follows:
"The greatest family medicine ever discovered, in
my opinion, which comes from experience as well
as observation, Is Peruna.
'The most common affiiction to humankind is a
bad cold. Peruna drives 1t out of doors, wards off
eatarrh, invigorates and gives fresh strength to

dorsement"-Wm. G. Hunter.

Spring Cafarrh.

Almost every one has come to believe
that spring is q season that brings de-
rangements of the body dependent on
blood impurities.
This belief is an old one, is nearly uni
yersal, and has arisen, not as the result
Of the teachings Of the medical frater-
nifty, but has been learned in the bitter
school of experience.

Censorship Plan Stage.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.-At a meet
ing of the Liverpool city justices Sam
uel Smith, M. p, proposed a resolu-
ton that managers of theaters and
music halls be advised to abstain
from allowing representations inju-
rious to public morals, and that they
be asked to discourage the display of
posters and notices tending to the
same ends.''
The resolution was rejected, the
opinion being that it cast unwarranted
reflection upon Liverpool theatres and
music halls. 1t was resolved, however,
to send a copy of the resolutions to
licensees and to express the hope that
managers would Loyalty observe the
rules which stipulate that nothing
shall be acted, represented, rec1ted or
sung which is profane, licentious or IN
decent"
