THE PEOPLE KNOW That Pc-ru-na Is a Good Catarrh Remedy

good they have received from it Such people write me these letters without any solicitation on my part without any pay. direct or indirect to tell me the benefit that Peru -na has been to them.
 To me this is better evidence than as if all the medical books in the world agreed that Pe-ru-na was the best catarrh remedy ever invented
 It is better evidence to me than as if all the doctors in the world would join in declaring Pe-ru-na to be the best remedy in the world for catarrh
 The experience of the people is the best kind of evidence.
 Neither reason nor book learning nor the schools could furnish data so complete, so satisfactory as the experince of the masses.
 Not only does Pe-ru-na cure chronic catarrh, but for coughs and colds and winter diseases, for grip and 1aryn- gitis and the various derangenents of the respiratory organs to which every one is subject, I can confidently say Pe-ru-na is an excellent remedy. Why? Because I find it in the. books ? Because the medical profession say so? Because I have reasoned it out Nothing of the sort. Because I have tried it thousands and thousands of times and it works.
 Are You Looking for Catarrh
 Remedy?
 Now, then, you may be hunting for a catarrh remedy yourself. You may have searched in vain in the books to find one. You may have inquired and tried to find one through the medical profession. You may have futi1ely attempted to reason it out for yourself

AMBASSADORS.

In comparison with the salaries paid similar officers of other countries, our ambassadors are the poorest paid The highest salary which is attached to any such official representing this gov ernment is $1T-500. In most instances statesmen of wealth have been chosen to be this country's ambassadors To them their salary was little or no con- sideratfon, and ft surely failed to mean anything left over after meeting their expenses. There exists now a vacancy in the diplomatic service at the court of St. James. President-eIect Wilson will name successor to the late Am- bassador Reid at the above named salary. mere pfttance when it comes to footing the bills made necessary by the office
