It was arranged that the map shall

"My health was excellent until
about a year.ago, when I had a
complete collapse from overdoing
socially, not getting the proper rest
and too many late suppers. My
stomach was in n dreadful condi
tion and my nerves all unstrung.
"I was advised by a friend to try
Peruna and eventually I bought a bot
tle. I took It, and then another, and
kept taking It for three months.
"At the end of that time my health
was restored, my' nerves no longer
troubled me. and I felt once more able
to assume my social position.
"I certainly feel that Peruna is de
serving of praise.*'—Nellie G. Loomis.

"I have been a sufferer with Indi
gestion for over four years, causing
distress after eating, with forma
tion of gas, heartburn and so forth.
Sometimes it Is necessary to begin
with a very small dose, Just before
meal time. The dose should be In
creased gradually to the usual size, as
the stomach will bear It.
No other remedy In the world has
cured so many cases of stomach trou
ble and dyspepsia as Peruna.
A multitude of people are sending In
testimonials to the effect that after
everything else had been tried without
success, Peruna had cured them.
Life Had Become a Burden, Caused by
Acute Indigestion.
Mr. William J. Berger, Moran Bros.
Ship Yardfl Seattle, Wash.. President
Protected Union of Engineers, writes:
"I was troubled for some time
with acute indigestion and palpita
tion of the heart, which distressed
me greatly and deprived me of the
Joy of life.
"This made me feel very miserable,
but six botMes of Peruna restored the
functions of my stomach until all
traces of dyspepsia had palsed away.
"I have now a splendid appetite Snd
enjoy excellent health."—Jennie Bel
cher.
. Mr. Carroll Putmon, 836 Carlisle Av
enue, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
'T feel It a duty to state for the
benefit of those who may suffer as
I hove, and whp do not already
know about Peruna, that it is the
only medicine that I found to cure
my indigestion and nervous de
bility.
Catarrh of the stomach Is usually
called dyspepsia. Many a case of
dyspepsia had its beginning at.
some holiday feast or Christmas
dinner.
Those who have been acquainted
with the value of Peruna in such cases
often escape the evil consequences of
these feasts.
At the beginning of tho first symp
tom of catarrh of the stomach or dys
pepsia, Peruna should ho taken.
"I took pills and other medicine dal
ly, but found as soon as I stopped I
was worse off than ever.
'Being advised to use Peruna, I soon
found that It brought a wonderful
change In my entire system. It cleared
up the sluggish channels of my diges

Great Religious Revival* in ’ Lancashire,
_ Ennland.
LONDON. Dec. 17.—There hen been a
remarkable spread In the. religious revl-
cal* which were started h» Bolton, Lanca
shire by Rev. Ruehen A. TorrCy and
Charles M. Alexander. Doth of whom uro
from Chtcngo.
At first tno movement was considered
to be only one of the periodical out
bursts which happen from time to timo
throughout England and Scotland, but the
proportions It has now”assumed attract
general attention. Wales, which Is large
ly conformist. Is ringing with revivals
and the churches avo crowded on week
days and on 8undays. Some of tho places
of worsnlp will not accommodate those
*7 wish to nttend. and people gather In
halls nnd In tho open streets. All classes
are affected.
A notable difference between the Welsh
revivals and other revival meetings Is |»io
fact that the proceedings are not con
ducted solely by those on tho plutform.
Tho leaders commence the service with a
prayer. The massed congregation, how-
over. does not follow this leadership, but
Individuals or groups of Individuals offer
n prayer suggested bv persona! prompt
ings until the whole becomes n hible of
independent supplication, with varying
degrees of fervor, reaching at times to ths
point of hysteria and in the chorus of
whloh tho voices of th* women mingle
with the deep tones of the men.
The effect of th* revival movement Is
noticeable everywhere, ind It' Is stated
that the public houses are almost empty.
Formerly they were crowded with mi
ners after the working hours. Drunken
ness Is pnw almost unkonwn In tho-Rmn.
FAMOUS CASE ENDS.
Trial of Hooley and Lawton in London

LONDON, Dec. 17.—After three
weeks' trial a jury In the central crim

Lawson wus postponed to permit an
appeal to the crown cases reserved
court. He was admitted to bail In
$30,000.
Hooley, whose colossal bankruptcy
and the proceedings therefrom wero
the sensation of 1898, was arrested In
London May 10 last on the charge of
conspiracy to defraud. Since his bank
ruptcy Hooley had been connected with
various promotions. Home of which led
to court proceedings. Lawson, another
company promoter, was taken into
custody the same day in connection
with the charge against Hooley. The
technical charge against tho prisoners
was defrauding A. J. Payne of $60,000
by selling him shares of Siberian gold
mines and other worthless concerns.
Hooley was bailed In $40,006 snd Law-
son's ball was placed at $30,000.
