Kidney Trouble for Nearly Thirty Years.
William Bailey, Past Col. Enc, No. Co. Union Veteran Legion, and prom
inently identified with many of the great LABOR protective associations in
Chicago and New York, and secretary Of one of the largest associations
in the former city, had for nearly thirty years been afflicted with kidney
troubles.
Within a short period he has been persuaded to try Peruna, and his
present healthy condition is attributed to his judicous use Of that great
remedy. Washington climate is notorf6usly bad for kidney and liver
troubles, yet by 5 judicious use of the remedy he is now quite cured and il
excellent physical condition.
This brief statement of facts, without exaggeraton or hyperbole, appears
to tell the whole story, which the Peruna Company is authorized to use, If
it so chooses, believing, as 1 do, that by Sc doing it will be for the general
good. William Bailey, IS St, n. f, Washington, I. C.

words 20 the same effect, The comedy

the season, Just as serious drama is

at 18th Street Pier

Two small boys playing the pier at 18th street
and the East River early last evening saw = man
walk up the dock and. without hesitating throw
himself into the water. The terrified bows ran
down to 18th street. where they met Peter Nc
Culogh. watchman to whom they told their
story.
McCullogh peered through the gloom and dis
cerned mans body floating In the stream about
fifty yards off shore. He told the captain OF the
sand schooner Mary r. Bird. which was moored
at 18th street, what had happened. and the ptan
sent two of his men in rowboat pick up the
man. who by this time several hundred feet
below the dock.
When the man was dragged into the boat he was
unconscious. and although attempt was made
TO revive him he died before an ambulance from
Bellevue Hospital arrived. The body was taken to
the Bellevue morgue, where IL identified
eral hours later by Thomas Charts OF 9th street
and the East River as Edward c. Sullivan, OF No.
Glenada Place. Brooklyn. Charts said Sullivan
