SYSTEMICJATARRH.
Perr.aa Cnres Catarrh Wherever
Located.
• \ \\
Mlbs Mattie L. Guild, of Chicago, 111.
Mies Mattie L. Guild, President Illi
nois Young People’s Christian Temper
ance Union, in a recent letter from Chi
cago, 111., says:
“/ doubt if Peruna has a rival in all
the remedies recommended to-day for
catarrh of the system. A remedy that
will cure catarrh of the stomach will
cure the same condition of the mucous
membrane anyw here. I have found It
the best re nedy I have ever tried for
catarrh, and believing it worthy my
endorsement l gladfy accord it. ”
Catarrh of the abdominal organs is
very much more common in summer
than in winter time. This form of ca
tarrh might be appropriately classed as
summer catarrh.
Peruna will cure catarrh wherever
located. In pelvic catarrh it has won
well deserved renown. Peruna will
cure any ease of diarrhoea, acute or
chronic, Peruna is an absolute specific
for dysentery. Peruna cures catarrh of
the liver. Peruna cures catarrh of the
stomach.

WHAT I SAW IN GALT
One evening after tea aunt Tay
lor took me to call on a lady living
on the opposite side of the street
from her home. Here I saw a tea
cup that was one hundred and fifty
years old. The lady who owned
it being quite aged and the teacup
once belonged to her great grand
mother. Here I also saw a bed
spread that was made of blocks of
bh aching six inches square and in
the center of each block was a bird,
dog, cat, squirrel, horse’s head,
butterfly, rose, and various kinds
of flowers and articles worked in
red embroidery cotton, and was
beautifully and neatly done by the
old lady herself, but what particu
larly struck my attention was a
rose, thistle and shamrock worked
on the same block, and above was
a crown, the rose being the flower
of England, the thistle of Scotland,
the shamrock of Ireland.
One Saturday evening after 9 p.
m., I was taken into an ice cream
parlor by five ladies, and saw ever
so many tables scattered all over
a large room and at each table sat
men, women, boys, girls and little
children eating ice cream, while a
never ceasing stream of people
came and went from this parlor, as
if there was no end of the ice
cream, and it was very delicious
with all kinds of flavors to suit
each individual taste.
The people of Galt sup or take
tea as it is called here at five and
six o’clock, and after the things of
the teatable are cleared up and put
away, the people go out on the
streets, and I believe they do most
of their shopping in the cool of the
evening after sunset. I have been
out on the most public part of the
street after g p. m., with Mrs. Tay
lor and have never seen such a
large cro .vd of people as were com
ing and going on this street. There
were old men, old women, little
children, boys and girls of all ages
and sizes, and everybody here seem
safe and secure even it alone on the
street at night. I have seen since
I left the land of the cotton and
the negro, horses wearing bonnets.
They are made of straw to fit the
horse’s head with two holes for the
ears, aud tied with a ribbon. I
first saw them at Buffalo, N. Y.,
where large, strong, slee': and well
fed horses drawing heavily loaded
wagons or drays were wearing
them. At first I thought they
were for ornament, but have since
read that they are to protect the
horse’s head from the heat of the
hot sun.
Yesterday was the 31st of July
and a very cool day. The wind
blew hard just like it does some
times in Georgia in the autumn of
the year. The inhabitants here
complain of the heat at times, and
when I tell them I am not warm
they laugh.
Last Saturday evening Mrs
George Taylor and myself wer
j 'vited by Mrs. Coulth&rn’s to te
tea with her, and while there I was
made acquainted with two ladies,
who are teachers, but not of the
deaf. One teaches in Boston,Mass.,
and the other in Toronto. Ontario,
and I have been invited to visit
Toronto by Miss Cherry, the lady
who teaches there, and she has
promised to show me the schools,
churches and other prominent
buildings in that beautiful city. I
am now booked to be in Toronto
next Tuesday noon, and am ex
pecting the best kind of a time
while there.
The Georgia watermelon has
found its way to Galt. I see them
in the grocery stores as I pass
along the street. Aunt Taylor
had one last week, but I did not
like the taste of it as well as I do
one fresh from the field
There is a store in Galt called
the Oriental Bazaar, kept by a
young man, whose father a sea
captain. This bazaar is filled with
all kinds of novelties and curiosi
ties in Chinese and Japanese goods.
Teapots made in the shape of
ducks, elephants, etc. Oh! I can
not begin to describe all the things
I saw there. They must be seen
to be appreciated. There were im-
ages of Japanese men and women
at various kinds of work. One
was a ship builder hewing a log.
There were Japanese napkins for
the table, napkin rings, fans atrd
other things, the like of which I
had never seen before. There were
carved images in ivory done by the
Japanese and perfectly beautiful.
I saw a Hakour cabinet of great
curiosity and beauty, and was told
that it was m ide of one million
different pieces of .all natural wood.
Here was a figure of a Japanese
clothed in an uniform made of lac
quered steel and silk braid two
hundred years old. He held a long
spear in his hand, a heavy sword
and long dirk was stuck in his
belt. But the worst and most hor
rible object I saw there was a
hindsgod made of wood and carved
into a most hideous shape, and has
a row T of snakes’ heads (probably
that of the Cobra) around its head,
while the bodies of snakes twined
in and out all among these gods,
and was painted in black and
stripes like the snakes represented.
were several figures joined
to toe one in the centre which, be-
ing the largest represented creator,
preservor and destroyer of the
world. The two images made to
represent people under his feet are
the ones he can destroy. The one
in his mouth are the ones he may
take care of. The one in his belt
is represented as being the ones he
does and can create. The others,
eight on each side, are all smaller
gods, each one having a name and
their peculiar wo k in helping the
other. In another place was the
figures of two men carving the face
of an idol on wood.
How sad and disgusting it is to
know that there are people in the
world who will bow down and
worship such a hideous idol as the
hindsgod. Asia being the oldest
and largest continent of the globe
and contains vastly more people,
yet the majority of these people
are idolators, while those of the
United States, Canada, England,
Scotland and Ireland are free from
such idol worship and bask in the
sun of righteousness.
The Grand river flows through
Galt, and the electric light plant is
erected on the edge of this river,
the chimney of which is 110 feet
high. The electric lights of this
town are placed upon very high poles
scattered over the town. In the
tall tower on the court house is a
large cloct and the light illumi
nates the inside of this clock so
that the minute and hour hands are
seen all over the town. This court
house is two stories high and in
the basement are prison cells, in
which prisoners are kept only a
short time until brought before
the chief magistrate, and if not ac
quitted, are sent to jail in Berlin,
Out , ten miles from Galt.
The drinking water of Galt is
furnished from a spring, and is
pumped all ever the town by means
of a standpipe, which is very large
and high, and is made of iron and
steel. The water is very good and
cool and does not get warm before
reaching its destination.
Monday, August sth. An ex
cursion from Hamilton, Ont., is in
town today, and the streets are
full of people, flags are waving
from some of the public buildings
and the front of the Iroquois ho.el
is decorated in colors, red, white
and blue. There are eight hotels
in Galt,and are all handsome buih {
ings. Sallie Posey. I
