more and more of the country. even the
old ocean itself. Then a high grade of
rock cuts off the view and the thoughts
revert to the possibility of taking a
toboggan Slide, and one man asks how
far any one thinks we would go through
that mountain down there. The people
at Rubio canyon look like little dolls
walking around, and after many star
Ting remarks we take a view of Echo
mountain and soon we are on terra
tirma again.
Panorama Is Attractive
AS we go higher and higher the view
| increases, and here we see spread be-
fore us the panorama that we have
been seeing on the installmnt plan.
Standing at the very edge we see there
to the left the range of mountains
and that one way down there is the
one we looked up to with so much
respect at the canyon. Out and be-
yond that clear blue mountain rising
above the vapor is in the Mexico range.
Then little to the right is the city,
that one day will reach from this
mountain to that ocean that you see
a little farther on and to the right.
The city commences with the trolley
line that winds its way to Pasadena,
then on to the city and the ever oblig-
great eagle when lighted up at night.
Truly a wonderful thing that the
American eagle lights up at night the
land once the possession of Spain and
roamed by the red men.
Here everything is hustle. One
wants to look at the great searchlight,
the greatest in the world. Another
explores the foundations of the great
Echo mountain house that once graced
| thp 6aiPhf hI1t NIro hr,r nc
ago. Just across is the echo that gives
the mountain its name, but l rather
guess she had retired to the mountain
recesses, for she would not answer any
amount of "hoO-hooing." Then the
great white dome of the observatory,
which has borne a charmed life in
all the devastating mountain fires,
looms up little above. After all these
have been explored the little open car
arrives and we start on the last part
| of our journey up the mountain, and
the most beautiful Up the road to
! Alpine tavern the grade rarely exceeds

tanned is only 1900 feet, with twenty
seven bridges and 127 curves.

shades in the sunlit spaces, and out
and beyond the panorama Of the val

the tall pines silhouctted against

Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body-is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such a remedy. 1t
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and Strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which have
found Peruna Of value in treating old
and obstinate cases of catarrh is the
Hospital st. John, who write as follows
I'VE are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three

- @ATARRH of the respiratory or
gans is a common ailment in Can
- ada for at least two-thirds of the
year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, 1t
at once became a popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where 1t was
used as a preventative and relief In
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treatt-
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that Of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd. who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna for The past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy TO say that Ii has given us greaf
satisfaction.
