Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, } 1894 to 1898. } 1900 to 1902. ALL USED PRINTING TRADESTO COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 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 desire to say for the information of the Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise that the Ohio state republican ticket has no Negro upon it and that the disfranchisement plank in the state republican platform is nothing more nor less than "a mere vote catcher." While we are sorry to have to say this, it is nevertheless the truth. The Spartanburg (S. C.) Indicator should stand by the Hon. E. H. Deas, chairman of the state republican committee of South Carolina. He has never come to this city but that he endeavored to further the interests of the republicans (and particularly the Afro-American republicans) of his state. We desire to say to our esteemed conferere of the Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Press that he is very much in error when he insinuates that we are "aiding the democracy." The Gazette is giving its readers facts and news without fear or favor and with first consideration for the interests of the race. Our paper is a race advocate first and then a party organ. The editor of this paper was a member of the legislature in '96 and cast one of the republican votes that made Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker United States senator from Ohio. --- In 1882 an Afro-American by the name of Jacob Searles, a knobler by trade, came to this city from the east and secured employment in the Britton Iron and Steel Works, corner of Wason street and the Lake Shore tracks. In the same year he was taken into the Amalgamated association lodge belonging to the mill and as an especial mark of honor elected color-bearer of the organization for the great picnic at Beaver, Pa., held the same year by the Amalgamated association of the country. Mr. J. W. Britton, a highly respected citizen of this city, living at the corner of East Madison and Euelid avenues, was the head of the plant, and Mr. William Hanna, a fine man and personal friend of the editor of The Gazette, was at the time president of the lodge, and of course an employee of the Britton Iron and Steel Works. Several of Mr. Britton's sons were schoolmates of the editor of this paper. Cleveland, therefore is entitled to the credit of furnishing the first Afro-American member of the Amalgamated association. Mr. Hanna is no relation of Senator M. A. Hanna. Ever since the death of Fred Alexander, the Afro-American who was burned at the stake in Leavenworth, Kan., some months ago, the prominent Afro-Americans of that state, namely the Ministerial Union and Afro-American Council, have been trying to have the attorney general of the state institute ouster proceedings against the sheriff of Leavenworth county, who had Alexander in charge at the time the mob took him from the jail. They charge the sheriff with malfeasance in office and dereliction of duty. Leavenworth county's attorney is a Jew, who, like the attorney general of the state refuses to institute the proceedings desired, although affidavits and other strong evidence were secured and presented to them in proper form by the prominent Afro-Americans referred to. According to our contemporary, the Topeka (Kansas) Plain Dealer, the fight will be kept up until results are secured in spite of the opposition encountered, and we are certainly glad to know it. Our people of that state are taking a very proper way to teach a much needed lesson. Success to them is our earnest desire. IRA ALDRIDGE. Miss Ira Aldridge, daughter of the great Negro tragedian of the same name, many years ago, who had to leave this country and go abroad to gain the position on the stage he was entitled to, has a beautiful and trained mezzo-soprano voice that she is using to good effect in oratorios, concerts and home musicales in London and elsewhere in England. Miss Aldridge sings in Italian and German as well as English, and renders the most difficult solos from the highest class operas, etc. Her press notices, including those from the best musical publications in England, are fine. We are indebted to Mr. Frederick J. Loudin, who, with his famous company of jubilee singers, has spent the last three years in Great Britain, and is at present making his headquarters in London, for one of Miss Audridge's circulars and program. Miss Luranah Aldridge, a sister, is also quite a vocalist, assisting Miss Ira in her concerts and musicales. WATCH JOHN. The Colored American informs us that a report has been going the rounds at the national capitol to the effect that John Green, formerly of this state, now a stamp clerk in the departments at Washington, D. C., has designs upon the office of the register of the treasury or recorder of deeds of the district of Columbia. If Messrs. Lyons and Cheatham, present incumbents, know John as well as we do, they will keep an eye on him and that report. We happen to know that Green did try to get the recordership months ago. John's announcement that he has no intention of being a candidate for either of the afore-mentioned offices impresses us as does his statement that he has not been a candidate for either of them. COINED THE WORD "AFRO AMERICAN. Our old friend, E. J. Waring, esq., of Columbus, the man who coined the word "Afro-American," has revived his "first love," a weekly publication known as "The Afro-American," and is pouring hot political shot into Hanna, Foraker, Nash and other republicans of Ohio just as he did years ago in his "first love," and as a result of which they secured him a clerkship in the departments at Washington, D. C., to get rid of him and his paper. After years of residence in Washington and as a practicing attorney in Baltimore, our aggressive friend returned a few years ago to the city of his early life, Columbus, and beside publishing "The Afro-American," is an independent candidate for state senator in that (the Tenth) senatorial district of Ohio. Waring, his paper and his candidacy have our very best wishes for success. VOTE CATCHER JOLLY. The New Orleans Afro-American republicans, like many others throughout the south, including a number of our exchanges, have taken seriously what the republicans of Ohio in state convention recently said anent disfranchisement, never stopping to think and realize that the very men who are responsible for that plankinthe Ohio republican platform were sufficiently powerful to have secured the passage of the Crumpacker bill in the last congress if they had wanted it to become a law. On the contrary, including President McKinley, they are more responsible for its defeat than any other agency, and too, because of the very fact stated. The Crumpacker bill as a law would have decreased the congress representation (as provided for in the constitution of the United States), of every state that had adopted a disfranchisement act. It is high time that our leading and intelligent men in every section of this country should stop refusing to see and realize the condition to which we call attention and adopt a course that will sooner or later compel the powers that be in highest republican councils to "tote square" with them and our people. They have been playing upon our credulity too long already, and it is certainly high time to call a halt. The disfranchisement and all other planks in the Ohio republican platform of special interest to the Afro-American are "jolly" pure and simple and every intelligent Afro-American in the country knows this whether or not they will admit it. As a matter of information for some it might be well to add that the Afro-Americans throughout the country, loudest in their praise of Ohio republicans for the planks in the platform referred to, are nearly all political office-holders and those seeking similar berths. THAT "JIM CROW ANNEX." With a citizens' committee of two or three hundred members from which all sub-committees are taken, we fail to see the necessity and wisdom of the appointment of a committee for any purpose, the members of which are not members of the citizens' general committee. The appointment of a "colored committee" for the very evident purpose of shifting to our people the care of the Afro-American ex-soldiers and friends who attend the G. A. R. encampment to be held here this fall, ought to be followed by the appointment of Irish, German, Bohemian, Jewish and other race or class committees, for the care of the ex-soldiers of the various nationalities who will also attend the encampment. To be consistent and prove that they are not intentionally drawing the colorline and creating a "Jim Crow annex" for purposes obvious, the citizens' executive committee must at once appoint two or more of these other race or class committees. To say that they are following precedents established in other cities where the national encampment has been held, is no argument in favor of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee in Cleveland for this fall or any other time, or for this or any other purpose, because there is only one Cleveland in the Western Reserve of this country. By this last we mean there is no city of its size in the country where there is so little excuse for such ridiculous action. The citizens' executive committee could have saved itself much humiliation had it conferred with leading Afro-Americans before taking the insulting action referred to. If they do not desire to provide for the Afro-American ex-soldiers just as they do for those of other classes, without any more reference to or consideration for their class or color, they should give way to broader-gauged men who can and will provide for the heroes of the war of the rebellion without any regard for class or color. We are perfectly willing, and so will be all of the ex-soldiers of color who visit our city this fall, to accept the care and treatment provided for all without reference to class or THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1901. color. The oversight which resulted in a failure to place leading citizens of color upon the general and executive committees in charge of the coming G. A. R. encampment, should not lead the members of the latter into making a far greater and more aggravating mistake, namely, the creation and maintenance of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of the treatment of Afro-Americans which all "Jim Crow" movements mar. This in addition to a personal feeling is what leads the intelligent and manly of our people as well as the broad-gauged whites to oppose such a disgraceful line of action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee, upon the part of the citizens' executive committee. We sincerely trust the obnoxious movement will be abandoned and that all concerned will understand that all calls upon the local public for assistance, etc., in the care of the old soldiers who will convene here this fall, will mean the same to and have a like effect upon the Afro-Americans of this community as upon all other loyal residents of every class.

Our Ministers on "Evangelist Griffin." The following action was taken Tuesday by the Afro-American ministers of Cleveland relative to the meetings being held in the rear of Antioch Baptist church, Central avenue. Believing in the power of the Gospel to save men, to lift them out of the darkness of sin into the light of truth, to turn them away from evil and to bring them into full sympathy with Jesus in his thoughts and in His life, and desiring above all things to see the Gospel proclaimed so that it will manifest itself as the power of God unto the salvation of men, we, the undersigned ministers of Cleveland, wish to record our emphatic disapproval of the so-called Gospel meetings now in progress in the tent back of Antioch Baptist church conducted by one J. L. Griffin We disapprove of these meetings because they are in no sense Gospel meetings, but something akin to a street minstrel. The high jump and the "Voodoo dance," mentioned in the daily papers, are relics of the days before emancipation, while the jokes and other amusing features of the addresses stamp the whole performance as degrading the Gospel rather than exalting it. We disapprove of the meetings not simply because every effort is being bent and all kinds of sensationalism introduced to get money, but because no sincere effort is being made to do any of the tnings for which the Gospel was intended. We believe that the performances at these meetings, attended as they are by a large number of curiosity seeking white and colored people, will do more to retard the Christian work among the colored people of this city, and more to increase the impression that the Negro's religious life and character are confined to his emotions and are incapable of very high development, than anything that has occurred in our city for many years. We denounce these meetings as in no way representative of the Negro's religious life and progress in Cleveland, and are sure that the more enlightened Christian colored people of this city have no sympathy with the man or his methods. We believe in the preaching of the Gospel anywhere and everywhere and we are not opposed to any methods that will win men to a better life. Nobody is being won in these meetings and the methods are calculated to repel rather than save men. Signed: Rev. J. S. Jackson, Rev. Charles Bundy, Rev. E. D. Dandridge, Rev. J. C. Turner, Rev. S. H.

Eight or ten of them should have some experience or knowledge of machinery. If successful in securing competent laborers for this cannery, it means places for from 800 to 1,000 men in the different canneries of Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Any person desiring such employment should write to Walter L. B. Plummer, post office drawer No. 48, Portland, Oregon.

" 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 guard we will forfeit $50.00.

A Disgraceful Attempt to Draw the Color-Line By a G. A. R. Committee. Our Leading Men and Women Denounce it-The First Attempt to Hold a Meeting of the "Jim Crow Tag End"Committee a Failure - Another Hot Time. Many months ago a citizens' committee of 100 or more of Cleveland's most prominent men (white) was constituted to take charge of and make all arrangements for the coming national G. A. R. encampment which convenes in this city this fall. All committees including the executive committee were made up of members of the general citizens' committee. After the lapse of the many months referred to it finally dawned upon the members of the citizens' executive committee that there would be hundreds and possibly thousands of Afro-American veterans of the War of the Rebellion, members of the G. A. R., in attendance upon the national meeting of the organization here this fall. In constituting the general committee through an oversight or otherwise no Afro-American was given a place upon it. This mistake should not, of course, have been made. For some reason or other the executive committee has failed and refuses to recommend such action. The result is that no Afro-American has or can have any regular connection with the citizens' general committee, the executive or any other of its many auxiliary committees. Recognizing this condition and being desirous of unloading to a greater or less extent the care of the colored ex-soldiers and their visiting friends who will attend the encampment, the executive committee authorized the appointment of an irregular auxiliary committee made up of Afro-Americans with the result that Ed Doty, its secretary, notified the following named persons of their appointment: Charles W. Chestnut, esq., (chairman), Rev. Charles Bundy, Rev. J. S. Jackson, A. T. Abbott, J. E. Reed, H. J. Embrey, H. M. Foote, W. B. Wright, Alexander Martin, James E. Benson, T. W. Flemming, J. H. Davis, John J. Bolden, George Vosburg, Willie Green, George Sampson, Willie Clifford, George Myers. On July 12 this alleged committee was notified to indicate their acceptance of the color-line honor (2) and to attend a meeting to be held on Monday evening, July 15, in the committee rooms in the chamber of commerce building. A number of the persons mentioned upon receipt of the notice were bright enough to recognize this "Jim Crow" movement and appreciate the intentional or unintentional insult to our old soldiers and the race its composition implies. Among this number were Rev. Bundy, Rev. J. S. Jackson, Messrs. Abbott, Reed and others. Indeed only four or five attended the July 15 meeting, Mr. Abbott being one of the number. He, however, went for the purpose of rebuke the others for tamely submitting to such an outrageous insult. He paralyzed the alleged meeting, which was hastily adjourned without having taken any action. It will be seen that among those named for membership on this "Jim Crow" committee there are a number of men of color who in spite of their long years' residence in Cleveland have little or no standing among our people here because they have had practically no association with or shown any interest in them. For one reason and another they have held themselves aloof from our people, their organizations, churches, etc., showing absolutely no interest or care for them. They are, therefore, anything but "representative colored men." Then, too, there is one of them that will not even accommodate men of his own class in his place of business, unless the Afro-American seeking the same is a guest of the institution in which his place of business is located. Rev. Charles Bundy and others of our pastors are most outspoken in their denunciation of this latest "Jim Crow" movement. After his sermon Sunday morning, July 14, at St. John's church he discussed and denounced it thoroughly and very properly, taking severely to task the members of the race, especially those on the alleged committee, who failed to resent so open and aggrivating an insult. Rev. Bundy very properly stigmatizes it as a "Jim Crow" annex to the G. A. R. encampment and general committee! "The appointment of a 'colored committee' on entertainment for colored troops is a terrible blunder," said Rev. Bundy July 16. "It is an attempt to draw the color line in Cleveland, of all places. In Cincinnati or St. Louis one might understand the motives behind such an attempt. In Cleveland it is perfectly inexcusable. Here on the Western Reserve, famous for its love of freedom, liberty and fair play, such discrimination against colored people is an outrage. I do not think that the people will endorse such a thing if it is brought to their attention. "If it was even a question of nationalities there might possibly be no objections. If a committee of Germans and another of Irish citizens had been appointed, for instance, to look after the interests and comfort of the troops of their nationalities, then a colored committee to look after colored soldiers might be in place. "No such thing has been done, however. The general committee will look after the entertainment of all veterans except the colored men. A 'Jim Crow annex' is to care for them. The colored soldiers are members of the Grand Army. They are entitled to care at the hands of the general committee, with other veterans. "No self-respecting colored citizen will serve on that 'Jim Crow' committee. If their co-operation is wished a place could be made for some of them on the general committee. Then if their services were especially desired in the interests of colored soldiers they could be detailed for that work. But it is an insult to ask a man to serve on a committee whose very existence indicates an attempt to draw the color line against his race. "A serious mistake has been made by this attempt, and the sooner it is rectified the better." Rev. Bundy paid absolutely no attention to the notice placing his name on the "Jim Crow tag end" committee, and he feels intensely indignant because of the act, the more so because, he says, that he was consulted about the matter some time since, and plainly responded with his views on the subject. To a daily newspaper reporter on July 16 the editor of The Gazette also said: "We want no recognition on the executive or general committees unless voluntarily given, but we will not for a minute submit to the apparent plan to put the colored veterans by themselves while in this city. "If the Irish are going to look after the Irish veterans and the Germans after the German veterans, then we will look after the colored veterans. We will not, however, submit to any class distinction." Our people should denounce with every breath this effort to establish a "Jim Crow" committee and the misguided individuals of color who undertake to act on it. The citizen committees will have the honor of caring for the encampment; therefore let them do the work—all of it, including that necessary for the proper care of the Afro-American contingent. The effort to shift it to somebody else simply because these old soldiers belong to our race and are of a little different color, is exceptionally contemptible even for the average prejudiced white person. These old soldier heroes of ours did their part to save the great American government and should be esteemed too highly by the citizens' general committee of this city to permit of any such exhibition of prejudice and smallness as would be a "Jim Crow tag end" committee such as has repeatedly been referred to. Damaged by Fire. Piqua, O.—Park Avenue Baptist church was badly damaged by fire Saturday. The roof is burned entirely off. Insurance, $2,000.—Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Davis having revoked the commissions of Sheriff Bowen and Circuit Court Clerk Driver. Bowen and Driver have taken possession of the court house, supported by a crowd of determined followers, and refuse to vacate. Practically the entire town is under arms. Rhodes and Lovell, appointed to succeed Bowen and Driver, have a following of several thousand, and although an actual clash has thus far been avoided, one is expected. Winslow's Denial. Boston, July 25.—The following statement was given out yesterday by Secretary Irving Winslow, of the Anti-Imperalist league: "A statement from Hong Kong that among the papers of an insurgent general were found assurances from the Filipino junta that encouragement had been given by me to the prosecution of the war, and holding out that the burden of the war taxes would bring about the success of the anti-imperialist party is absolutely false. I have never had such communication with any Filipinos or their representatives." Released for Lack of Evidence Elkins, W. Va., July 25.—Melvina Starks, the colored woman who was with Brooks, the murderer of Policeman Lilly, who was lynched on Monday night, was captured yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Marstiller and a posse, with two colored men who were taking her out of the state. She is a young yellow girl, formerly of Washington, Pa. There is no evidence that she had a pistol or did any shooting at the time of the murder. At a hearing last night she was discharged and hurried out of town by friends. The Ellis Glenn Trial. Parkersburg, W. Va., July 25.—The testimony for the state and defense in the Ellis Glenn case was almost completed yesterday and the case will be argued to-day. In yesterday's proceedings Deputy Sheriff Echols, for the state, declared that the much-discussed scar was on Ellis Glenn's head, as he had seen it on several occasions. The state attorney moved that the court order the prisoner's head examined, but this was overruled, the court even forbidding an examination outside of the court. Turks and Albanians at War Vienna, July 25.—Albanian insurgents and Turkish regulars have had several encounters on the Turkish frontier. Many were killed and wounded on both sides. It is reported that the Albanians cut off the heads of their prisoners and carried them on poles through Albania. It is also reported that the Turks massacred their prisoners. Grand Jury Is Investigating. New York, July 25.—The United States grand jury yesterday began an investigation of the failure of the Seventh national bank.

Preacher Hobbed by Women. London, July 25.—"Rev. Todd, an American clergyman, was robbed of £1,000 while on the Paris-Geneva express," says a dispatch from Geneva. He is one of the numerous victims of two fashionably dressed women. THE MOST PROMINENT IN OHIO. The most prominent and the strongest colored man in the state of Ohio is, in the opinion of all the best thinking colored men in every part of the United States, that brave and fearless advocate of the people's rights, the Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, O. Postage May Be Raised. Postmaster General Smith explained to the cabinet the other day that the revenues of the postal service were being kept at a point far below what they otherwise would be but for the fact that under the present classification a large class of periodicals were being handled at the rate of one cent a pound which Both Had One. An enthusiastic Louisiana fisherman had great luck while fishing on the Illinois river recently. During the day he wired his wife: "I've got one. weighs seven pounds and is a beauty." He was considerably surprised to receive the following reply from his wife: "So have I. Weighs ten pounds. He isn't a beauty. Looks like you."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr. Smith has been a member of the legislature of Ohio for a number of years, and has made a splendid record for himself. He has been a loyal republican all his life, and has done more to help and advance the best interests of the colored people in the state of Ohio than any other man that we know of. Mr. Smith was a republican and was working for the success of the republican party, both state and national, and for the advancement of his race of people when George A. Myers and J. A. Brown, of Ohio, did not know whether they were republicans or not. Mr. Smith is a man to be congratulated, for he does his own thinking and talking. He is in this unlike Myers and Brown and one or two other lesser lights, who must at all times, before they speak or act, consult and get orders from their political masters. We have no patience nor respect for that class of would-be and so-called political leaders. Mr. Smith's work in the legislature of Ohio will stand there as a monument to the people in this country; it will be a bright and shining light, and will forever adorn the pages of history when his enemies are dead and forgotten. Mr. Smith introduced a bill in the legislature, and it has become a law, known as the anti-lynching bill to suppress mob violence, which has certainly been, not only a credit to him, but also a credit and benefit to the people of Ohio, and it has set an example for many of the other states to follow. Can anybody point to one act that Myers, Brown & Co. ever did to promote the interests of their race of people? They only complain and murmur at what the Hon.H.C. Smith has accomplished. If Myers and Brown have ever done one thing to promote and advance the welfare of their race of people,or any other race, we would be pleased to have them, or some of their friends, tell us what it was and when it was done.—Chicago (Ill.) Citizens' Press. OBITUARY Her many warm friends in this city were shocked to learn of the death of Miss Laura A. Ogilvie at her home in Chillicothe on the evening of the 7th. She was well and most affectionately and estimably known here, where some twelve or fifteen years ago she made her home with her sister, Mrs. William Guy, during her high school course. She took a business course in Chillicothe and then persued her work as a teacher in Kentucky, the malarial climate of Chillicothe not agreeing with her. Three years ago the school superintendent and friends in the old Ohio town finally prevailed upon her to accept a position as teacher in the public schools there. As a teacher she had no superior. Her long service in the trying ungraded schools of Kentucky through the great changes of the school management of that state verify it. Her work as a teacher did not stop at the class room, but extended into the homes of her scholars, where she dispensed material as well as intellectual, moral and spiritual aid. Miss Ogilvie was the youngest child and daughter of the Ogilvie family, which is one of if not the oldest in Chillicothe. Her innate refinement shone forth in every look, word, thought and act, and the effect of her association waslasting among all who made her acquaintance. By her individual effort she has done more for Negro humanity than many organizations inaugurated for that purpose; but so quiet, natural and unostentations were her movements that few except those in her immediate circle, knew how wide was her scope. A mother and four sisters, the Mesdames William Randolph, of Richmond, Ind.; Sheridan Davis, of Philadelphia; John Price, of Chillicothe and William Guy, of this city, and a large number of more distant relatives are left to feel her loss. The mother, to whom she was so devoted, has our sympathy, indeed. In her death Chillicothe and Cleveland lose one of their brightest and noblest women. Organized Y. W. C. T. U.

She is the wife of one of the rioters of last August who is now serving a sentence in the Ohio penitentiary. The worry and anxiety over her husband developed into quick consumption and she had been at death's door for weeks. Her condition was the cause for efforts on the part of many Akron people; including the authorities, to obtain Timmerman's release, and two weeks ago it was recommended by the board of pardons. It was fated, however, that he should never see his wife alive. The couple have five small children.

It was his purpose to modify the regulations so as to compel this class of publications to pay eight cents a pound instead of one, as now. These new regulations, it is said, will be issued soon. The postmaster general did not make it clear whether he meant all periodicals, or only those of a certain class. If the contemplated increase is to affect all magazines it will be an immense amount of expense to them, as well as a big increase in the government revenues.

It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it.

Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now."—Minnie E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.
