In the dense wilderness that lies about

and he thought that. with the pres

of the local committee in Salonika had
rather a sinister reputation. 1t had
never been proved against him, but
there were rumors of blackmail.
For several weeks. Carriere lay in
hiding in one Of the suburbs of the
city, receiving prominent members of
the committee and talking over the
new schemes he advocated. He had
no suspicious at first. although he did
not like the local voivode. and 1t came
as a wholly unexpected shock when
his secretary was shot down on the
streets at night. after he had ventured
out for brief walk. The local COM
mittee claimed that a Greek had done
it. but Carriere was suspicious.
Two nights passed. and then the
old woman in whose house he was hid

on her face. She had heard two men

That was enough for Carriere.
He left the house in broad daylight,
trusting entirely to luck; and on
his way out of the city he met a de-
tachment of troops marching to sur.
round his hiding place. They halted

his future wife. who was standing near

 AS soon as he heard what people were saying he was very quick and emphatic in his denial of any intent on his part to create such an impress sion.
 No, said the Doctor I do not claim to have any magical cures. l do not claim to have a cure for any thing. Judging from the number of letters I receive, however, concerning Mrs. Eberlein's case, from people who have similar complaints, I should judge that catarrh of the lungs IS very prevalent. The number of peo- pie afflicted are increasing. In spite of the strenuous efforts of health boards catarrh prevails more and more every year.
 No, I do not claim to have mir aculous cure. I only recite some of the things the people tell me who take Pe-ru-na. The case of Mrs. Eberlein, for instance. She was ap- parently dying of catarrh of the lungs Her physician had told her so. Many people who had seen others die under similar conditions thought her to be dying. She commenced taking Peru na and recovered.
 Now, I do not undertake to explain her recovery. I certainly do not un- dertake to say that Pe-ru-na will cure anybody in the last stages of catarrh of the lungs. I make no such claim But I do undertake to say this. Al long as there is life there is hope The doctors are liable to be mistaken They often condemn people to dis when they do not die. They say, Mrs So-and-So cannot live twenty -foul hours,'' and then Mrs. So-and-So gets well. They say, "Mr. So-and-So has i not a ghost of show of living but MT. So-and-So gets we'll. Now, wha' is it that cures such cases? Every doctor knows that it is tht vitality of the patient. The las grain of vitality was not exhausted i, just enough vitality left to make ont

more struggle, and the disease was overcome.
 Now, it may happen that Pe-ru-na is taken at the critical moment in the patients struggle against dis ease. The patient may have been losing ground day after day. At last the fight seems hopeless; death in evitable. Some one suggests Pe- ru-na. The patient takes it without any hope. The medicine actually does infuse new life into the circulation. They feel it's genial influence as soon as it is swallowed. This constitutes the turning point in their disease. The little assistance which Pe-ru-na gives Nature at this important point turns the tide of affairs in favor of the patient.
 Not that Pe-ru-na cures incurable diseases. No, not at alL But Peru
 na does lend little much-needed as-
 sistance at a time when a feather weight on one side or the other of the | balances turns the scales in favor of i or against the patient. Scores and scores of times Pe-ru-na has come i'll at these critical moments and saved patients from imminent death. At | least it seems so. I have bushels of letters reciting such things. Pe-ru-na Is a diffusive stimulant i! It stimulates the circulation. It causes
 warm glow of health to pervade the mucous membranes of the body | The mucous membranes or the

 comment.
