This commission held its first meet
Ing in Washington on March %. when
preparations were made for visit to
the isthmus, which 1t reached on
April 5. After three weeks of inves-
legations 1t decided that such en-
cheering records as the French left
must be supplemented by fresh ex-
plOratiOns and surveys. that the santa
ton of the canal zone and the cities Of
Colon and Panama was of the first I'M
portance and that period Of prepare
ton generally must precede effective
construction operations. Surgeon Colo
mel w. G. Gorgas accompanied the
commission on this trip and made the
preliminary plans for cleaning up the
isthmus which. when worked out
were to make him famous. The CON-
mission returned to the United States
on April %.

tives Of the United States and the

my daughter brought me bottle
of Peruna and plead with me to try
it. l had got so weak l had lost my

was in May, 1902. I began to take
it, according to directions. I wrote
to you. and you gave me your kind
advice.
II soon felt better, my cough began
to give way, and the expectoration
lessened. I have taken fourteen bot

soundly, weigh as much as 1 ever did,
do considerable work on my farm,
