VOL. XVIU. Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES No son of man my foe, Whether the warm life-currents mount And mantle brows like snow, Or red or yellow, brown or black The face that into mine looks back. My platform, brotherhood; I count all men of honest mind Who work for human good, And for the hope that gleams afar. My comrades in this holy war. Robert Whitaker, in the American Israelite. Color Preludice. A colored girl student has been ordered out of the dormitory of the Northwestern University, the great Methodist institution at Evanston, III, and the Atlanta Constitution has another chance to poke fun at the liberality (2) of northern sentiment on the race problem.—Exchange. ```markdown ``` The Louisiana farmers have had to import several thousands of Mexicans to work on the cotton plantations to take the places of black laborers, who have emigrated to Arkansas and Kansas. That is all right. But it is admitted by the farmers that neither Mexicans nor Italians are equal to the Afro-Americans as cotton producers; and it might also have been admitted that they will not work for the same misfruitable wage or tolerate the same amount of insolence and abuse without using a stiletto. And this also is all right.—Exchange. --- The School Tax. A bill has been introduced in the state senate dividing the taxation paid by the two races in Georgia and giving to the school fund for the education of each the proportion paid by whites and blacks. That is, the taxes paid by the whites will go to educate the white children and the taxes paid by the blacks to the education of colored children. This bill has appeared in other legislatures, but has never become a law. It will hardly do so now. The opinion is expressed by those who have given the subject any thought that it is class legislation and should not be enacted. It would hardly be regarded as constitutional by the supreme court of the United States. How would the amount of taxes paid by colored people be determined? There is the poll tax, the liquor tax, the fund resulting from fines and forfeitures, etc. Colored people are interested in the liquor tax, and as consumers really pay a large part of this amount to the state. Most of the fines collected in the courts are in the end paid by the labor of colored convicts. So the colored people really pay a much larger part of the taxes into the state treasury than they appear to contribute. There is much complaint that the school fund is a burden to many people, but Georgia is doing her full duty to educate the white and colored children and doubtless will continue to do so. The proposed division of educational tax as paid by races would be a step backward and would scarcely be indored by a majority of the people of Georgia.—Savannah Times. A good and strong editorial is the above and we trust its sentiment will provail. If our white friends will continue to preach such doctrines they will not have to complain of the Negro. They will find that the kindly feelings which the Negro has for them will increase as the years go on and under the kindly influence of such mutual good feeling our loved southland will blossom like the green bay tree. In His Steps. The serial story under the above name now being published in the Georgia Baptist and the author of which is Charles M. Sheldon ought to be read by all. The story is a strong religious one and will deepen and improve any one's idea of his Christian duty. --- The Negro to the Rescue In every case of national peril from the great revolution down to the present time the Negro has freely bared his breast to the enemies of the country and has spilled his blood that the republic might live. Intensely conservative, an American through and through, his presence here has been as an anchor cast to the windward in times of national peril. Humble as he is, there is today no greater element of strength in this great nation than he. A new danger is rising in this country, Socialism is growing with The Savannah Tribune. frightful rapidity. Anarchy threatens much harm to the country of Washington and Jefferson. Thousands of ignorant and degraded people, the very scum of the foreign nations, are flocking to our shores. Can we make good citizens of them? Will they love liberty or license? Free from despotic control, will they break forth and attempt to slay the mother who nourishes them? We know not. But we do believe that no matter what the danger may be or how great a sacrifice it may require, there always will be Negroes, and thousands of them, too, ready and willing to defend and protect the nation at all costs. Remarkable Letter of Lincoln's. A (Copy.) Washington, D. C., Mar. 13, 1864. Private. Hon. Michael Hahn. My Dear Sir—I congratulate you on having fixed your name in history as the first free state governor of Louisiana. Now you are about to have a convention, which, among other things, will probably define the election franchise. I barely suggest for your private consideration whether some of the colored people may not be let in—as, for instance, the very intelligent, and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. They would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty within the family of freedom. But this is only a suggestion, not to the public, but to you alone. Yours truly, A. LINGOLN. The foregoing letter from the hand of the immortal Lincoln affords food for thought for all thinking people. Lincoln-seldom spoke but to the purpose and his words' even in full were usually full of wisdom. This letter shows the prophetic vision of the man. It shows how, amid the cares of his great office, with all the burden of a great war upon him, he could look far ahead and after a long peace could still see dangers ahead and could make ready to meet them. It shows also how strong a hold justice had upon him and how he sought to have others see it in the light in which he saw it. What a text for some people now to ponder over do the following lines set forth: "They would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty within the family freedom." And the Negro will ever strive to keep free from harm that "jewel of liberty" to the possession of which Lincoln contributed so much. A Good Thing. Houston, Tex., Oct. 20.—A conference of Negroes began its sessions here today. The convention is made up of about 500 delegates from various parts of the state, and has been called to consider racial problems. The objects set forth in the call are to devise ways and means for bettering the condition of the race, to improve the relations existing between the Negroes and their white neighbors, and to set forth their lack of sympathy with the crimes and criminals which have caused a tension to exist between the races which is daily growing more acute. The first day was devoted to morality and a number of addresses were made.—Exchange. CHOLERA RAGES IN EGYPT. One Hundred and Thirty-two Deaths Occurred Within a Week. The progress of the cholera in Egypt is recorded in the following cablegram to the state department from United States Vice Consul General Smith, at Cairo, dated November 8: "Since the first instant there have been one hundred and forty cases of cholera and one hundred and thirty-two deaths in all Egypt." BRAGG VISITS WASHINGTON. Author of "Pig Tall Whistle" Episode Sees Secretary Hay. General Bragg, consul general at Havana, who has exchanged posts with Consul General Rublee at Hong Kong, called at the state department Tuesday to consult the officials in regard to his new duties. Before going to China, General Bragg will visit his home in Wisconsin. SPANISH CABINET OUT. Sagasta Tenders Resignation of Ministers to King Alfonso. A special from Madrid, Spain, says: Premier. Sagasta. Monday tendered to King Alfonso the resignation of the entire cabinet. The king will now decide whether he will accept the minister's resignations. Should the king accord a continuance of his confidence in Premier Sagasta, the ministry will be modified and probably the ministers of war, marine and justice will be sacrificed. LIMIT TO TAX RATE Urged by New Chief Executive of Georgia GOV. TERRELL'S FIRST MESSAGE Document is Brief and Strictly to the Point—Subjects of Vital Intereat to Georgians Given Attention. Governor Terrell's first message to the Georgia legislature was read in the house and senate last Saturday and printed copies of it were distributed for the use of the members. The message is brief, but strong, and calls attention to a number of subjects on which the people expressed themselves in the last election, principless for which Governor Terrell stands and which he emphasized during his campaign throughout the state. Governor Terrell urges a constitutional limitation of the tax rate, bills for which are now pending in both houses. He suggests legislation looking to the taxation of franchises of public utility corporations, a matter which the legislature will also give consideration at this session. Important suggestions are offered looking to the prompt payment of the school teachers of the state, and these suggestions have been embodied in a bill by Mr. Howell, of Meriwether, which is now before the house. Important legislation looking to local taxation for the purpose of building school houses is recommended, and the exemption of all college endowments is strongly urged. An important feature of the message is the recommendations looking to the establishment of agricultural colleges in each cogressional district, and ultimately connecting with them experimental stations and farmers' institutes. Another recommendation is that urging a compilation and preservation of the records of the colonial period of the state's history for use in the schools. In regard to the taxation of franchises, which is something new in the line of gubernatorial 'recommendations, Governor Terrell says in part: "Closely allied to a limitation on the rate of taxation is the duty of providing a method by which all property shall be made to bear its fair share of the public burden. With a few exceptions, the constitution provides that all property shall be taxed. In the main, this provision is carried into effect—though no system has ever been devised which is perfect in its application, and in spite of the most carefully drafted tax acts, there are unavoidable omissions and a want of that perfect equality and uniformity toward which the lawmaking power constantly aims. But there is a class of franchises held by certain quasi-public corporations which, though valuable in themselves and adding value to the capital stock, have in the past escaped taxation because of a want of a provision in the statutes requiring these franchises to be returned or assessed. Being property these franchises are as subject to taxation as any other property under the constitution, and in view of the fact that they generally represent privileges which are more or less exclusive and which have been given to the corporations without money and without price, there is a peculiar justice in subjecting them to the tax laws." YEAR'S CASUALTIES IN ARMY. Shown in Annual Report of Adjutant General Corbin. The annual report of Major General Corbin, adjutant general of the army, shows that during the fiscal year there were 35 officers killed in action or died of wounds and disease, 21 resigned and 68 retired. Of the enlisted men, 1,227 were killed or died of wounds or disease; 35,806 were discharged on the expiration of service, 5,698 were discharged for disability or dismissed by order of courtmartial, 4,667 deserted, 2 were missing and 203 retired. LOST EYES; SLEW OCULIST. Blind Man Shoots Prominent Physician and Then Himself. Dr. W. H. Kimberlin, a pioneer citizen and a prominent oculist, was shot and killed in his office in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday afternoon by John Scanlon, formerly a policeman, who then shot and killed himself. Scanlon asserted, it is said, that Kimberlin had caused him to lose his eyesight. He left a note on the dresser, in which he had written: "Notify my brother at the city hall. I did this because he destroyed my eyes." --- CONVICTHYPNOTIZED Savannah Negro's Strange Story of Murders Given a Test. DRIVES STRAIGHT TO THE SPOT Where Bourquin and His Faithful Old Servant Were Foully Assassinated—The Murder Is Fully Described. A week ago, last Sunday Gugle Bourquin, the head of an old French Huguenot family and owner of large landed estates, including one of the finest game preserves in the south, was assassinated in his buggy on his lands seven miles from Savannah, Ga. In the buggy with him was an aged negro retainer of the name of Fred Taylor, who had been a body servant of Bourquin for more than forty years. The bodies of both master and servant were found with heads and backs riddled with buckshot. There was no clew to the murderer. A few days later an escaped convict of the name of Miller was picked up by the officers. At the police station he made a most vehement declaration that he had shot and killed Bourquin and Taylor. His story was that he had been hired by a white man of the name of Sapp to commit the murder on the promise of a payment of $25. The convict is illiterate; can neither read nor write. According to his statement the murder must have been committed eight miles from where the bodies were found, and it must have been accomplished in a manner wholly at variance with the facts. Miller's story was so remarkable and was adhered to with such vehemence that it was determined to put him to extraordinary tests. At the police station Monday morning he was put under hypnotic influence by a leading physician. In his trance he said that he had not fired the shots, but that he had heard them and knew who had fired them Again, later in the day, he was hypnotised and made to go through what he alleges to be his own connection with the tragedy. Upon being brought under hypnotic influence he was placed in a buggy with two officers and given the reins. He drove the horse skillfully through the most crowded streets of the city without the slightest hesitance or error and took a road leading into the country. On the way he pointed out objects and places that had attracted him while on the alleged murderous errand. His Hypnotic Story. "Mr. Sapp came out from behind a game bag. He made me take them, a game bag. He made me take them. Mr. Sapp showed me a white man and a nigger in a buggy coming down the road. He said the white man had killed his dog and one of his friends, and he was going to kill him. Then Mr Sapp went off. Directly I heard two shots from a gun After a little while Mr Sapp and three other white men came back. One of them said: 'Now, let's kill this nigger.' Mr. Sapp said: 'No; he can help us; let him.' They promised me $125 if I would say I did it. I said I would say it was me, and Mr. Sapp said I must meet him at Bunger's store next day and get the money. I was at Bunger's store two days for the money, but Mr. Sapp did not come. I was waiting for the money when the detectives caught me." "Why, here is your money," said the physician who was conducting the experiment placing his hand in that of Miller. The convict assumed an injured air at once. "Why didn't you give it to me when you promised?" he demanded indignantly. Closing his hand quickly he stuffed the imaginary bills into his pocket. Miller, in his hypnotic state, described the alleged Mr. Sapp and his three companions so minutely that four men with whom Bourquin is known to have had trouble are under surveillance. Howell Measures Goes Through Georgia House Almost Unanimously. The Howell eligibility bill, made purely local in its application by a substitute of the committee to which it had been referred, was passed by the house of representatives with only four opposing votes. The house adjourned at 11:30 o'clock as a mark of respect to the late Patrick J. Sullivan, of Augusta, state senator from the eighteenth district, and passed resolutions expressing the sorrow of the house at the news of his untimely death. ROOSEVELT AND CLEVELAND Speak from Same Platform at Dedication of New York Chamber of Commerce. With a president and a former president of the United States as its guest of honor and with representatives of foreign governments and other distinguished guests in attendance, the New York chamber of commerce formally dedicated its buildings Tuesday. The new building, a handsome structure of white marble, is situated in Liberty street, between Nassau street and Broadway. The proceedings were opened with a prayer of dedication by the Rev. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity church. An address of welcome by Morris K. Jesup, president of the chamber, followed and then the oration of the day was delivered by former President Grover Cleveland. When Mr. Cleveland rose to speak he was greeted with loud cheers from the assemblage and several times in his speech he was interrupted by applause. He touched quly on commercial lines. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Jessup announced that President Roosevelt, although reserving his address for the banquet in the evening, had consented to say a few words. As President Roosevelt stepped forward to address the chamber, the whole assemblage arose and cheered. He spoke as follows: "Mr. President and Gentlemen: As I am to speak to you this evening, I shall simply say a word of greeting to you and your guests. I have been asked here as the chief executive of the nation and so I can speak not merely on your behalf, but on behalf of our people as a whole, in greeting and thanking for their presence here the representatives of foreign countries who have done us the honor and pleasure of being present today. (Applause.) "I greet the ambassador (turning to Mr. Cambon) whose approaching departure we sincerely regret, the ambassador to whom on his advent we extended so hearty a greeting, especially those great friendly civilized nations with whom we intend to be knit even closer by the ties of commercial and social good will in the future. (Turning to the Russian and British ambassadors and Prince Henry von Pless.) "And now, gentlemen, having greeted your guests on behalf of you, greet you in the name of the people, not merely because you stand for commercial success, but because this body has been able to show that the greatest commercial success can square with the immutable and eternal laws of decent and right living and fair dealings between man and man." The demonstration as the president concluded ended with three cheers. MOLINEUX GOES FREE. Jury Declares Him Not Guilty of Murder of Mrs. Adams. At New York Tuesday, Roland B. Molineux was set at liberty, after spending nearly four years in prison and being once condemned to death and twice placed on trial for his life for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams. But thirteen minutes sufficed for the jury to reach a verdict of acquittal at the close of a trial that had lasted four weeks, the first trial which resulted in Molineux's conviction and sentence having been prolonged for about three months. The verdict, which was confidently anticipated, was greeted with an instantly suppressed outbreak of applause. Justice Lambert having delivered a stern admonition that no demonstration would be permitted. Molineux, who was brought into court as soon as it was known that the jury had agreed, was apparently as unconcerned as he has been throughout the trial, and gave no evidence of emotion when the words that established his innocence were pronounced. His aged father, General Molineux, was deeply affected, and could with difficulty respond to the greetings of friends who pressed forward to offer their coagulations. ALAN MASON RELEASED. Negro Perry is Now Charged With Murder of Miss Morton. The discharge of Alan G. Magon, the man accused of the murder of Clara A. Morton at Waverly, was ordered by Judge Charles Almy, at Cambridge, Mass. Tuesday. The government lawyer announced that an investigation had failed to disclose evidence sufficient to hold the accused man and ordered the discharge of Mason. Almost immediately the negro George L. O. Perry, a young negro, being held as a witness against Mason, was charged with the murder of Miss Morton. He pleaded not guilty and was remanded without bail for a hearing November 10. COMBINE IS DENIED KENTUCKY MADE THE KICK Jurisdiction Denied to the Commission—Answers of the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville are Interesting. Several more of the railroads which were made defendants in the complaint made by the Kentucky railroad commission, charging merger of interest which threatened to place the entire southern territory under the domination of a single firm, filed their answers with the interstate commerce commission at Washington Tuesday. The answers in the main, like those of the Illinois Central and the Texas and Pacific, filed Monday, deny the allegations. The Louisville and Nashville railroad, however, goes further, and in its answer styles the complaint a "mere fishing bill," and disputes the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission over such matters. The Louisville and Nashville's answer says the commission has no right nor title to institute or prosecute the complaint; has no jurisdiction to require the filing of copies of contracts or arrangements with other common carriers, except such as relate to the traffic affected by the interstate commerce act, which, the railroad says, does not apply to the contracts, arrangements, etc., referred to in the complaint; nor jurisdiction to inquire into personal transactions of individual stockholders, nor to ascertain whether any particular individual or firm has acquired a majority, or any other proportion of the capital stock of a railroad. The answer denies that J. P. Morgan & Co. have acquired control of a majority of the Louisville and Nashville stock, and says the commission has no jurisdiction to inquire into the motives or objects of anyone selling or-purchasing shares, nor whether the stock of the Southern is controlled by a voting trust, with Morgan & Co. at its head. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad admits contracting with the Morgan company to purchase by December 31, next, and that the Morgan company has contracted to deliver to the Atlantic Coast Line by that date $306,000 shares of the capital stock of the Louisville and Nashville for $50,000,000, and that the Louisville and Nashville has assented thereto. The Southern Railway Company, the Southern Railway Company in Kentucky, and the Southern Railway Company of Indiana, in a joint answer, deny that the two last named lines are under the "management" of the Southern. They admit, that about June 21, 1900, Morgan & Co. and the Southern railway made an agreement with practically all of the holders of bonds secured on properties then belonging to the Louisville, Evansville and the St. Louis Consolidated Railroad Company, whereby it was proposed to reorganize that road, to vest its control in the Southern. This plan was executed by a foreclosure sale. It is also admitted that in pursuance of an agreement the Southern jointly with the Louisville and Nashville, has acquired 85,988 shares of the capital stock of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railway Company. The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific not only dentes the jurisdiction of the commission, but submits that there is no law of the United States, or of the states mentioned in the complaint, "which forbids the same person or firm to hold stock in two or more railways." The answer of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company is a general denial of "all and all manner of unlawful combination and confederacy wherewith it is charged." Train Wrecker Sentenced At Columbia, S. C., Tuesday Alf Cohen was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary for attempting to wreck the Southern train near Harbins, Oconee county, last summer. TEACHERS TO JOIN UNION. Chicago is on the Eve of Facing An other Complex Situation. By almost unanimous vote Chicago teachers have decided to join the Federation of Labor, and the city is facing another complex situation. The question is now being asked if a child will get fair treatment in the schools unless he or she can show a union card. The teachers expect to secure the tremendous support of the affiliated bodies in various regions they are demanding, which is the cause of less crowding in the city. “The-Savannah Tribune.

Cugnot, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, built the first automobile, and it was propelled by steam power. It is interesting to note at this time that in America at least the steam automobile is the one most widely used. The principal reason for this is that a light steam carriage can be built for a low price, has the power to run very rapidly and to climb hills with a facility which is denied gasoline motors of many times the horse power. Steam carriages can be run long distances, and are often used for touring, the radius of action being dependent only on the size of the gasoline tank, water being obtainable anywhere. The bugbear of obtaining water and the inconvenience of using bad water has never hurt the steam automobile in any way. It is certainly little inconvenience to stop occasionally and replenish the water tank. The fact that this has to be done every thirty or forty miles may seem an inconvenience to those who wish to use an automobile for long-distance touring, but when the remarkable hill-climbing power of the steam carriage is taken into consideration, its ease of manipulation and the freedom from noise and vibration, it would seem that the necessity of occasional stops for water could hardly be-called a drawback, in view of such remarkable advantages as have just been indicated. This year has seen considerable use of the gasoline carriage, and it is really very difficult to say why it has not been used more before. The gasoline carriage has much to recommend it, being particularly suitable for long distance touring at high speed. This demand for gasoline cars has led some people to believe that it was coincident with the so-called dropping off in demand for steam cars, but this is not the case. There undoubtedly has been a falling off in the demand for steam carriages as they were built two or three years ago. Such troubles as buyers of steam carriages had with these machines was not due to any limitations of steam as a motorive power for automobiles, but was undoubtedly caused by mechanical defects and lightness of construction, both of which matters have been entirely overcome in the steam carriages now on the market. The principal advantages of steam carriages are as follows: Entire, absence of any noise or vibration; moreover, the steam carriage does not leave behind it a trail of odor of burnt gasoline or lubricating oil; great ease of control, making the carriage very suitable to run in crowded localities; great hill-climbing powers, and last, and perhaps most important of all, storage of a large amount of reserve power which can be drawn on in case the carriage has to be operated over a very bad stretch of road—for instance through heavy sand or mud, conditions which are occasionally met with in a long run. In other words, a light steam carriage can surmount these difficulties easily; such difficulties as would be trying to a very much more highly powered gasoline engine. It is true that a steam carriage cannot keep this up, but it can keep it long enough to pull out of a deep mud hole or plough through a bad stretch of sand. This flexibility of the steam carriage is what makes it so good for allround work, and there are now thousands of owners of steam carriages in the United States who are using their carriages for allround purposes, city work and touring as well. This is probably the reason why steam carriages have sold so largely and have been so popular—Mail and Express. Imperfect Vision. The handicap of imperfect vision naturally interferes with the progress of the child in his studies, says Dr. Grace Peckham Murray, in an article in the Dellneator on backward children. A well known oculist of New York City states that defective vision is a very common cause of apparent mental dullness in young children. A child's eyes should be examined when he is old enough to attend school, in order to be sure that he does not suffer from lack of good eyesight. One writer has said that he never met with a case of chronic bad spelling that he did, not also find some visual defect. It must be remembered that trouble from imperfect seeing comes not only from seeing words and figures wrongly but also from fatigue of the brain caused by eye strain. HIS METHOD.

French and English Explanation of Their Relative Value. According to an expert writer in the Petit Blue, the heyday of diamonds has gone, at least on the continent. Diamonds are succumbing to three kinds of evolution; (1) The evolution of moral taste. It is now considered bad form for ladies and gentlemen to advertise their wealth by a display of diamonds. (2) A scientific evolution. Thanks to this, diamonds are so wonderfully well counterfelted that they are no longer the sign of wealth. The larger and the more numerous the diamonds the more they are suspected of being paste. (3) The evolution of artistic taste. The diamond admits of hardly any variation in shape of composition. The great continental artists of today in the jewelery line use gold, silver, even copper or iron, and produce with them little marvels of art in which the diamond hardly ever cuters, unless in a very minute and accessory way, in order to "animate" the whole. The coronation year has not resulted in the great rush for diamonds that was expected, and the quieter-looking but more expensive pearl has gnified an easy "lead." The manager of Tiffany's told an Express representative recently that the sale of diamonds during the past year had not been very much above the normal, but the amount of alteration and repair work, re-setting of stones, etc., had been extraordinarily great, and the expert workmen had been kept very busy. The chief work had been in connection with the repair of family jewels, while large number of Americans staying in England for the coronation had had their diamonds reset and polished by English workmen. The American grande dame was always a large buyer of diamonds, and was particularly anxious to have them set in the English style. The reason for the small increase in the sale of diamonds was the great popularity of the pearl, which had become exceedingly fashionable of late months, in spite of its expensiveness. The usual price for a pearl necklace ranged from 20,000 to 40,000 pounds, and a really fine necklace was not to be had for less than 75,000 pounds. Where a society woman could make a "good show" in diamonds for 2,000 pounds, she could do very little in the same amount in pearls. Simplicity was the keynote of the fashion in diamonds, and clusters of large stones made into brooches and pendants and other articles of adornment, were far more popular and created a better effect than a large collection of small diamonds set thickly together. The average price for a diamond brooch with fine large stones was 2,000, and this article found a rapid sale. Men used diamonds less today than they did a short time ago, and liked less showy stones for their rings and scarfpins—London Express.

All the Advertisement in the World Could Not Make Pe-ru-na as Popular as it Is. Miss Margaret Donnelly, 21 Webster Place, Brooklyn, N.

I had been a great sufferer from catarral colds until I was urged to try Peruna, and I am happy to say that it has entirely cured me. I shall never be without it, and most cheerfully recommend it to others who are afflicted as I have been."—Katherine Dauer, 229 13th St. Milwaukee, Wis. Most people think the success of Peruna depends on us using advertisements. Undoubtedly, the advertisements help some. But by far the greatest number of people who hear of Peruna have their attention called to it by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of his cure he is sure to recommend it to his friends. Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue. All the advertisements in the world could not make Peruna as popular as it is. Peruna cures. That is the reason people like it. Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends it. Peruna cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail, which explains why neighbor by Perina many years ago to recommend Perina to their friends ever since. This is the way Perina is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exasperating behavior, the truth of every one to pass it along, to call the attention of those who are still victims to a remedy that rarely fails to cure. Beware of Cheap Imitations of Pe- ru-ra--Be Sure That You Get Pe-ru-na. There are no substitutes for Peruna. Allow no one to persuade you that there is something just as good. The success of Peruna has tempted many people to devise cheap imitations. Beware of them. Be sure that you get Peruna. Miss Jennie Dricoll, 870 Putnam avo, Brooklyn, N. X., writes: "I heard so much in praise of Peruna as a specific for catarthal affections that when I found myself with a bad case of catarrh of the head and throat Peruna was the first thing that I thought of. And my convictions were not wrong, for in a few weeks after using Peruna systematically I was entirely rid of this aggravating and distressing disease, catarrh. "If people knew how efficient Peruna was for this trouble they would not hesitate to try it. I have all the faith in the world in it, and have never known of a case where the person was not cured in a short time."—Jennie Driscoll.
