Member Ohio Legislature, } 1804 to 1808, } 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY. MARCH 16, 1901. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We extend our earnest congratulations to Editor Chris J. Perry, of the Philadelphia Tribune upon his fourth election to the common council of the City of Brotherly Love. The whites of Athens, Ga., are trying to get rid of their postmaster, an Afro-American by the name of Morton. With this end in view, they recently had Representative Howard (white, and a democrat, of course), of that state file a protest with President McKinley against Morton's reappointment. It will be remembered that Judson W. Lyons, of the same state, was refused the postmastership of Augusta, Ga., and given a better place at Washington, D. C., (that of register of the treasury) in order that the whites (nearly all democrats) of the town be not displeased and their prejudice given no bodyblow. Remembering this and many similar acts upon the part of the president we await with some curiosity the result in Morton's case. AN INSULTING DEMAND FROM THE SOUTH. Says the Hon. John H. Bankhead, congressman from the Sixth Alabama district, "Congress will undoubtedly pass Representative Underwood's bill proposing a repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution." That would be revolutionary and unprecedented and a great deal more than what the American people can afford to have done. The colonies went into the war against England upon a compromise. Hamilton's financial policy was adopted upon a compromise and our national capital was founded upon a compromise. The repeal of the Missouri compromise was accomplished upon a compromise. These measures were carried as a matter of gain to the country. But what profit is to accrue to the nation in revoking a measure which has been established upon a fundamental basis of right and justice? The south through unmitigated wickedness and treachery demands the abrogation of a measure which has been ratified by two-thirds of the states and which obligates the entire nation to a faithful adherence. But the south in its imperiousness has always demanded more for itself than for the nation. In its own superciliousness and arrogance it has defied the laws and the constitution and has from the days of reconstruction till now betrayed a resentful spirit of open and undisguised disloyalty. It now asks this government to stultify itself by abrogating one of its strongest safeguards and entailing upon the people the brand of a cruel despotism. Not content with its butcheries and lawlessness, the south with unblusing audacity demands the indorsement of her murderous crimes and felonies by agitating the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. A LEARNED PROFESSOR IGNORES THE LAW. Learned professors, more subtil than wise, have taken the rostrum more as friends of the mob than as advocates of the law. But any justification of mob violence is immoral and deteriorating and will not stand the test of moral argument. The man who favors lynch law is no better than he who applies the torch to his own home dwelling. We have the most ample provisions of the law to meet every trying emergency, and he who breaks the law destroys the very safeguards of home and family. It may be contended that skilled lawyers oftimes forestall the demands of justice to evasion and double dealing. But it is the law and the evidence upon which life and liberty depend. If tried and convicted, according to the judgment of the court, the culprit must pay the penalty. If acquitted upon upon the exact terms of a fair and impartial trial, society does not lose. Every man has a right to the benefit of a doubt, and it is better that the guilty should be held in durance vile than that one innocent man should die. But says the Yale professor, the people are forced to administer swift punishment regardless of a trial by jury. No argument is more damaging and dangerous to the peace and security of the people than a conclusion so ill founded. Now since the Yale professor proposes under certain conditions to ignore the law, he virtually supplants the law and makes it secondary or a thing of convenience to suit the whims and caprices of the populace. But public opinion is too strong, and it is to be noted that the learned professor is not sustained by a settled public opinion, but rather by public passion. Gradually the public mind is awakening to the enormity of a mighty evil that is preying upon the conscience and manhood and womanhood of American communities. The effect of the crime of lynching upon public morals is so hideous that it cannot be too much deplored. And, worst of all, no student of history who knows anything in regard to the history of governments and the rise and fall of nations can find a scintilla of excuse for the occurrence of these horrible crimes. Governments are instituted for the good of the people, and if lawless bands are to be tolerated in bleeding and stabbing the government to its death, then eventually the mob must rule and government is a failure. On the 4th of March, 1789, one hundred and twelve years ago, our government went into effect. It has stemmed the current of popular dissension and overcome great opposition. God grant that this growing evil of lawlessness may be suppressed ere it gathers unmanageable strength. THE COUNTY MUST SETTLE Two Victims of a Tar and Feather Mob Win Their Suits Under Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law. Bellefontaine, O.—Mrs. Nellie Jackson (white) one of the victims of the West Liberty tar and feathering mob in November, 1899, secured a judgment against the county (Logan) March 7 for $700 damages. The woman had been living in the house with the father of her deceased husband, both colored. The former, Edward Jackson, recently secured a verdict for $1,000 damages and has been paid the money. D. Rickman, another Afro-American who was in the house at the time of the raid, and who was also tarred and feathered, has a suit pending and will win. The "Click" Mitchell heirs' judgment (for his lynching at Urbana several years ago) against Champaign county, was for $5,000. All this under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio anti-lynching law, which he passed in the Ohio assembly in 1896 and which has practically put an end to mob violence and lynching in this state. ALL HONOR TO HIM!

Hopkinson Smith on Mrs. Stowe's memorable book and has expressed himself as follows: "Mrs. Stowe's novel may not be a great work of finished art, but it was an honest and powerful work, and the conclusions which she reached in regard to slavery were derived from an acquaintance with the terrible facts. "It is not true that she made out all southern people to be wicked. The book is very discriminating, and there are pictures of southern people that are far from unpleasing. There is no doubt, of course, that the book had a tremendous influence, and its mission is not yet ended. The president of a southern college said to me once that 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' will yet have a molding influence over the southern people, and teach them to abhor the institution which their fathers loved."

THE MAY COMPANY Will Add Three Floors—Six Acres of Floor Surface—Will Better Employees' Condition. One of the largest building projects undertaken in this city for some time was begun by the May Co. recently. The company will add three floors to its building fronting on Euclid avenue, taking off the roof of the present structure and making the additional floors of steel framework and terra cotta. The three stories will make an elevation on the Euclid avenue front of 100 feet from the sidewalk to the top of the building. The top of the flag pole to surmount the building will be 160 feet from the ground. What is known as a forfeiture contract has been signed by Gordon & Malone, the builders, and its requirements are very rigid. It requires that the work be completely finished within 70 days after the work is begun. A very heavy forfeiture is attached in case the work is not finished. It will be necessary to work nights. The contractors intend to light the scene of the work with are lights and put two or three shifts of men on the construction. In case the work is delayed the contract provides for no extension of time. When the addition is completed there will be nearly six acres of floor surface, or 44,100 square feet more floor space, making a total area of 214,000 square feet. One entire floor of the three will be devoted to the convenience of the employes, where lunch rooms, rest and recreation rooms, a music room and completely furnished toilet rooms will be placed. These rooms will be open to the employees during both work and lunch hours. The establishment will be open at 8 instead of 7:30 a. m. A feature of the new building will be a large electric sign which will be built into the building. The light of the sign will illuminate the show windows of the establishment. When the addition to this mammoth department store is completed The May Co. will have a building of which it may justly be proud. "Jim Crow" Street Cars Montgomery, Ala., March 5, 1901. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir and Friend:—I am sure you will be somewhat surprised to hear from me down in this balmy southern clime, but but you have no doubt learned that I am on a visit here to my mother and other relatives, whom I have not seen for more than seven years. This is a glorious country, so far as climatic conditions go, and but for these there is nothing to redeem it. For instance, I spent last week in Birmingham, Ala., with my brother, and in going to and from his home I availed myself of the street car which is conducted on the strict "Jim Crow" system. All Negroes riding must enter car from front end, where three seats on either side are reserved and partitioned off from the rest of car. These six seats must accommodate all colored passengers, whether they be six in number or 60. Here in Montgomery they have passed a law declaring that all colored passengers riding on street cars must occupy seats indicated by conductor and none other. Upon refusal to do this you are arrested (the conductor having police authority) and fined $100. This is true. The consequence of this law is that the colored people, I am proud to say, have instituted a universal boycott on the street car line, and the last report of the superintendent shows a decrease in gross receipts of 47 percent. I shall be here ten days longer, so send Gazette to me. Yours sincerely, E. A. DALE. A Sensational Mock Trial. Akron, O.—Mrs. I. L. Hamilton, who fell on the ice, striking her head and dislocating her wrist, is unable to perform her housework.—Miss Maud Johnson has returned to Ravenna.—Mr. Austin Goset and Robert Heath spent Sunday in Ravenna.—Mrs. Lawsey and daughter, Lena, attended the entertainment given by the helping sisters of Ravenna.—Harry Hawley is very ill.—Thomas Detcher and son, of Chicago, formerly of this city, stopped here on their return home from Washington, where they attended the inauguration.—Mrs. S. L. Redman, of Beaver, Pa., who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Dinty, returned home Sunday.—The mock trial being held by the Church Aid society is creating excitement. Miss Laura Smith represents Mrs. Carrie Nation, prisoner at the bar; Mr. Anderson and Mrs. R. H. Jones, defendants. H. B. Hamlin and T. Jones represent the state. F. E. Jackson, judge. The case will be completed March 18. The jury consists of S. W. Jackson, Rev. B. F. Combash, G. F. Gross, R. MeAfee, R. Scott, H. Parrish. Clerk of the court, Frank Lancaster. Bailiff, G. Churchwell. Elder Vincy Explains. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: In your last issue I was reported as refusing to preach for the K. of P. in the church of which I am pastor. As the report is wholly misleading I ask the privilege to make the following statement: I have no objection to any lodge, order or organization receiving recognition in the church of which I am pastor so long as the organization in question will employ itself in helping to improve the moral condition of our people. But no order, regardless of what its supposed or real purpose may be, shall receive any recognition at my hand that will indulge in diversions detrimental to the interests of the Lord Jesus Christ, such as cake-walks, dances, etc. I have been highly complimented through the mails for the position I have taken. Cake-walks and dances are not calculated to save souls, and when a church ceases to save men perishing in their sins and go a frolicing off with the dancing lodges she had better close her doors. Yours for salvation of the race, J. ALLEN VINEY. Surprise Given. Erie, Pa.—On Thursday evening, March 7, a pleasant surprise party was given at Rev, C. J. Powell's. Singing was the chief feature of the evening.—Mr. Gee, of the firm of Gee & Smith, locksmiths, has purchased a handsome cottage on West Third street.—Mr. Charles Franklin has been elected superintendent of the A. M. E. Sunday-school and Mr. Wm. Neal assistant. Chicago, Ill., Notes. A fight occurred at Twenty-eighth and Lasalle streets. It was started by a woman who would not recognize a tramp. He chased her, tore her clothes and insulted her. She ran home, got a hatchet and started back after him, accompanied by her mother, father and brother, who carried clubs. They met him and fought for more than a half hour. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozono and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases.

Gives the names of dead and living friends tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions on how to write a biography for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all you doings, in short what is best to do. Her success will all happen. Patience is not necessary, no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thou-sands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been used to secure the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references, nor sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder. South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free course to the Doctor. He treasures five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. Please Read the Following: "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892 — This is to certify to New York from Albany. I was a sturgeon in a strange city to walk and out of money, in nothing in anything undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad condition or trouble, to him at once. Sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2067 Atlantic avenue." "BROOKLYN, Aug. 15, 1891.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; I came from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost my wife. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man so gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do.

How much more appropriate thus to begin the New Year with the new life of nature in the awakening spring. At this season all processes throughout the natural world start afresh. The ancients also showed their sagacity and appreciation of the great changes and active processes of spring-time, by realizing that this is also the time for renewed life and energy in the human system. They well knew that the blood should be cleansed from impurities and the nerves re-invigorated at this season. Hence the establishment of the custom of taking a good spring medicine. This most sensible and healthy custom is followed by almost everybody at the present day, few people of intelligence venturing to go through this trying time of change from winter to summer without taking a spring medicine. The unanimity on this subject is a settled fact: the only question hereto- J. MR. STOUGHTON L. FARNHAM. fore has been in regard to what is the best thing to take. The people have now become unanimous in their decision that as a springtonic and restorative,Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy ispre-eminently the best. Year after year Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has proved itself the surest, most positive and reliable remedy. Made from pure vegetable medicines, it invariably cleanses, purifies and enriches the blood, making the blood rich and red, and at the same time, by its invigorating effects, giving strength, power, vitality and energy to the nerves. In fact, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has proved itself the most perfect of medicines and just what everybody needs for a spring remedy. Try it this spring. Mr. Stoughton L. Farnham of Manchester, N. H., says: "Some time ago I was troubled with lassitude and a feeling of fatigue. I did not have the ambition to do anything that demanded unusual physical exertion. "I was recommended by a friend to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I took two or three bottles and am prepared to say that it did me good. I can recommend it as a tonic, as I know it helped me." Remember Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is recommended by physicians, in fact, it is a physician's prescription, the discovery of the well-known specialist in nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St., New York City, who can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter.

A.J.L. 800991X 800, Barnhill, North ```markdown ``` NEW PROOF OF EVOLUTION. Darwin's Theory Sustained by Comparing the Blood of Men and Apes. The latest proof of the correctness of Darwin's assertion that there is near relation between man and ape is furnished by a discovery of the correspondence between the blood of man and the ape, reports a scientific exchange. Blood exposed to the air coagulates—forms a jelly-like mass. After a time the coagulum contracts and expels a perfectly clear fluid called serum. Lately experiments with this natural serum showed some queer results. When the serum of a rabbit was mixed with the blood of an animal not closely related to it, for instance a guinea pig, the blood corpuscles of the guinea pig were thereby dissolved. But the serum of the rabbit mixed with the blood of a closely related animal, a hare, for instance, did not affect the blood of the hare at all. The serum of the horse works no change in the blood of the donkey, but destroys (dissolves) the blood corpuscles of the rabbit, lamb or man. The dog, fox or wolf readily permit exchange of blood, while the blood corpuscles of the dog are dissolved by cat serum. This, then, seems to furnish a new and sure means for establishing blood relationship between animals. Experiments with human serum showed that it dissolves the blood corpuscles of all vertebrates, also those of the lower ape. But the experiments with the higher apes gave different results. Neither the blood corpuscles of the ourang-outang nor those of the gibbon were dissolved by human serum, and human blood was carried into the blood course of a chimpanzee without in the least affecting the latter's condition. These experiments serve to show that the blood of man and that of the higher ape must be looked upon as identical. It is absolutely sure that none of the tested serum of animal resembles the human blood as closely as does the blood of those three apes—the ourang-outang, chimpanzee and gibbon. This highly interesting scientific discovery furnishes new proof for the probability of man's evolution from lower animals. It throws some light on the sorry experience had with transfusion of animal blood in the blood of suffering human beings. Some scientists maintain that the sheep and man, the calf and man stand too far apart in the order of descent to permit intermixture of their blood without harmful results. Poker and Politics. "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I hope you are not departing from the precepts of our forfathers and allowing yourself to be dazzled by the pomp and glitter of empire." "What book did you get that out of?" asked her husband. "No book," she answered, stoutly. "I remembered some of it after reading a newspaper article. But I hope you have not abandoned your old principles. Last night you were talking in your sleep, and you said several times that all you wanted was another king to make you all right. And after the trouble we had with George III, it does seem perfectly foolish."—Washington Star. A Careless Woman Wife—Henry, can't you let me have some money to-day? Husband—What did you do with that dollar I let you have last week? Wife (good naturedly)—Well, I had to have a new bonnet and a heavier wrap, and Willie and Kate needed new shoes, and John had to have a new suit, and Frank a new hat, and Caroline needed a new gown and Mary a pair of gloves and David an overcoat — and — and — and, really, Henry, I don't remember what I did with the change. — Detroit Free Press. Anomalous. In Boston I encountered a parrot one day. "Polly wants a cracker!" I observed, thinking nothing. "Your language is extremely annoying," replied the bird, severely.

Twenty-six per cent of the entire population of the world lives under British sway, 9 per cent under Russian rule, 6 under French, and nearly 6 under American. When royal personages get tired of the glaring light that beats upon them they often assume borrowed names, which, not being generally known, insures a certain amount of privacy. The elaborate plans that have been prepared for the extensive news sewerage system for Havana are wholly dependent on electric pumps directly connected to electric motors for their operation. The inhabitants of Palmyra get all their salt by dipping buckles into the neighboring salt lake and allowing the water to evaporate. The Turkish government has a monopoly of the salt business. United Austria has no greater problem to solve than the funding of its enormous debt. Although the six colonies have a population of only four million, in round numbers, their debts total $985,000,000. The steady decline in the birth-rate recently noted in Great Britain was maintained in 1900. In 1899 the rate was 29.3 per 1,000, the lowest ever recorded; in 1900, however, the rate further dropped to 28.9 per 1,000. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, orders every day in the senate restaurant "a steak done just as I like it."

It consists of one pound of raw, lean beef and one pound of bread, seasoned with salt and pepper, eaten dry, without cooking. One pound of the mixture sustains a soldier in good condition for twenty-four hours. The king of Portugal is an expert in ichthyology, and has written several scientific memoirs on the subject. He is very fond of fishing in the sea off the const of Portugal, where, owing to the extraordinary depth of the water, the forms discovered are of great variety and scientific interest. King Alexander, of Servia, has recently sought to insure his life wish a certain British company for $300,000, but that company, having had to pay $600,000 in consequence of the murder of King Humbert, declined the risk, having firmly resolved never again to insure the lives of crowned heads. When Congressmen Sulloway, of New Hampshire; Patrick Henry, of Missouri, and Berry, of Kentucky, met in the house restaurant the other day some one observed that there were "nearly twenty-one feet of congressmen there."

Absent-mindedly he dipped his fountain pen in the inkstand and started his eye—same eye—on another frenzied roll. It rested at last on his rhyming dictionary. He pounced upon the book as a starving mariner on a raft in the open sea might pounce upon a pate de foie gras suddenly discovered dancing on the waves within reach of his hand. He opened it with trembling fingers and scanned its pages. A groan burst from his lips. "No!" he exclaimed, dashing the book from him and bowing his head on his hands in despair.

This amendment being promptly accepted, No. 1 produced a card inscribed "Richard Eve," which No. 2 trumped with "Adam Brown." Then No. 3, a portly veteran with humorous gray eyes, laid down his card with the quiet confidence of a great general making a decisive movement, and remarked, with a chuckle: "I don't much think you'll beat this 'un, gents.'

ENDURSEMENT. CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO. Hon. David Meekison is well known. not only in his own State, but throughout America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: "Ihave used several bottles of Pe-runa and feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be able to fully eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing. Yours truly." Many people can tolerate slight catarrhal affections. A little hoarseness, a slight cough, a cold in the head, or a trifling derangement of the digestive organs, do not much disturb the average person in his business.

No money would hire me to have a settled cold or chronic cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing that could happen to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is my shield and protector against this most undesirable disease."—Carrie Thomas.
