WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Bs 1t a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic, Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarTh remedy.
Which of these people are right?
Is it more proper to cali Peruna q ca.
tarTh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no ehectual catarrh rem
edy that is net also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of Catarrh, q remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
COus membranes affected By the ca
tarTh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is 9 weakened con.
dition of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted go much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA q
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes a specific rem.
edy for catarrh that in the present
state Of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDR0N
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in al ita
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Psruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numbsrless testimonials from every
quarter Of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex.
perience confirms a well-grounded the.
Ory the result is truth that cannot be
ahaken.

Conditions In Persia,

Tehersn, Persia, Dec. 23.-The ma
tional assembly accepted very snlkily
today the Shah surrender to the consii-
tutionalists. His agreement to rule in

ably put long distance between them
selves and the Persian capital.

MONDAY EVENING. DEC. %. 1907.

This SEEMS to be generation OF
''hero worshippers" without special re-
gard rs to the qualification OF the
'hero." It will be remembered that
C,plain Dewey was made admiral Of the
nasy after the "battle" of Manila bay,
though bis only opponents we're set Of
broken down out of date vessels which
tried to escape him, and his victory"
he admitted, himself, at the time, could
have been won by any officer in bis
feet. Now the admiral is an elephant
on the hands of the government and
there are but few who do him honor.
With all this staring them in the face
there are some people now who would
make Resr Admiral Evans vice admiral
and a hero because in time of peGce he is
commanding feet of battleship' order
ell by an cratic President to sail around
Cape Horn. The same feat could be &C.
C,mplished by any captain ia the feet,
but the "hero wOrshippers" bob up again
aaa say "FightiDg Bob," as they call
him, must be made vice admiral even
before he reaches the end of his voyage.
1t is not inappropriate to state right
here that history fails to record whom
Evans ever fought or what he ever woD,
but this makes no difference to hero

REPORTED ELOPEMENT.

The Richmond relatives Of Mrs.
Alfred Dietrich, Of New York, formerly
Miss Edna II. Young, great-niece Of
Major Lewis Gipter, the millionaire
tobacconist, expressed considerable sur
prise at the story of her alleged elope-
ment to Paris with II. 8. Brenchler,
formerly purchasing agent for Alfred
Vanderbilt's stables. Many Of the Vir-
GINA friends of the young woman are
inclined to doubt the authenticity of the
story.
Mas Grace Arents, Major Glnter's
heir, when told OF the rumor at her
home, on Grace street, was aStounded.
She said that she had always believed
that Mrs. Dietrich had been happy 10
her married life. Miss Arents refused to
di ouss the incident further than to say
that she did not propose 10 believe the
story until she had received more direct
information. She did acknowledge, how
ever, that for the last several years
letters had passed regularly between
herself and Mrs. Dietrich, of whom che
is very fond, until within the last two
weeks, when Mrs. Dietrich suddenly and
without explanation dropped The CORE
spondence.
Mrs. Dietrich, accompanied by her
husband, was the guest Of Miss Arents
in Richmond 10 October, while the an
nual Horse Show and State Fair
was in progress. Brenchler was also
there during the same period with the
Vanderbilt stud. The coincidence of
the presence here at that time of both
Brenchler and the woman with whom
he is now reported to have eloped was
not remarked ly the friends Of Mrs.
Dietrich in Richmond until the story of
the alleged elGpement was made public.

TALKS.

When seen in Winchester Thursday,
Fannie Virginia Carroll, the young
woman who is alleged to be the mother
of the child adopted as John Cecil Fair
fax by the Marquis and Marquise de
Montferrier, wealthy members OF French
nobility, declared she does not believe
the child taken to Paris is hers and up
holds the belief that her son was taken
to Baltimore. TIE marquis denies that
he adopted the child.
Miss Carroll lives at the home Of her
uncle, James J. Littletop, about four
miles from Winchester, on the Buftiick
road. In appearance she is a pretty
woman of twenty-one. She has a we'll
rounded figure, with brown eyes and
auburn hair, and with good clothes on
is a striking-looking girl.

"My son was born on October %,
1906, in Winchester. 1t was boy and
had blue eyes, and auburn hair. 1t was
a very healthy, pretty baby"
"Whst happened to II after Its birth -
at was given to Mrs. Elizabeth f.
Baker, Of Winchester, to be taken care
Of" the girl replied. 81 have never

child then. When l got up Mrs. Baker

Baltimore to be adopted by lady who

your child is the same child that was
taken to Paris last winter by the Mar
quis and Marquise de Montferrier, who
believed the child to be John Cecil Fair
fax, son of William Fairfax, of Virginia
and Elizabeth Carroll, OF Maryland.
Do you know anything about thatH"
'1 only know what Mrs. Baker told
me-" the girl replied. "She said that
my child had gone TO Baltimore, and
that the lady who adopted it sferward
went South, where the child died."
"Did you tell Miss johnson, of Win
chester, and Miss Lowe, of Baltimore,
that you believed your child was the
child adopted By the French nUblemab?"
"No cir, never told them or anyone
else that. do not know that my baby
is the one in Paris"
Miss Carroll admitted, rather reluct-
antly, that she had never married. She
said that her father, Charles Lewis
Carroll, is DOW living in Berryyille,
Clarke county, Va, and that her mother,
who was Sarah Catherine LittletoD, is
dead. Her father, she said, was not q
Msrylander, but was horn in West Vir-
GINA. Her mother, she said, was born
10 Loudoun county, Va. Miss Carroll
was 81 years old on April last. The
child born in October, 1s06, is her only
child.
