A
WHO WAS BEFRIENDED
BY AN EMPEROR
PASTOR
SAVED BY PE-RU-NA.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll, of Elkhorn, Wis., is pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran
3t. John’s Church of that place. Rev. Steubenvoll is the possessor of two bibles
presented to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one of
rthe bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text.
This honored pastor in a recent letter to the Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus,
,says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna:
\The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen: “I had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time,
id all despaired of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me
^trsngth and courage. and made healthy, pure blood. It increased
ny weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best
medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it
would save many from death every year."
Yours very truly,
REV. H. STUBENVOLL.
the introduction of Peruna to. the medical
profession thousands of cases are cured
annually.
Mr. W. D. Smith, a well-known grocer
of Port Huron, Mich., writes:
“By following your instructions and
taking Peruna and Manalin I am cured
of catarrh. I had catarrh for twelve
years and quite a bad cough so. I could
not sleep nights. I do not have any
cough now, and if I feel anything in the
throat I take a swallow of Peruna and I
a.-n alright.”—W• D. Smith.
I Thousands of people have catarrh who
Fould be surprised to know it, because
- been called some other name than
March. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
fherever located; and another fact
fhich is of equally great importance, is
Peruna cures catarrh wherever
Mated.
[Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
phalf of the people are afflicted more
i css with it in some form. Previous
> the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was
pSidered well nigh incurable. Since
Suffered Fifteen Years.
C. F. Gerding, Milburn, Neb., writes!
“ I contracted a heavy cold about
fifteen years ago and tried all kinds of
patent medicines and drugs recom
mended for a cold or heavy cough, but
found none to help me until I com
menced using Peruna. My age is
seventy-eight years, and I am better
flow than I have been for years. I still
keep using your great medicine, and am
still improving in health. I recommend
it to all sufferers with coughs and colds.”
—C. F. Gerding.
Peruna, The Greatest Remedy Known
. For Catarrh.
Mr. Chas. H. Stevens, 97 Seventeenth
Street, Detroit, Mich.,writes: “ It affords
me great pleasure to testify to the merits
of Peruna as a remedy for catarrh. I
suffered for some time with chronic
nasal catarrh, but after five months*
treatment during which time I used
seven bottles of Peruna I am pleased to
say that I am entirely well, there being
not the slightest trace of the catarrh left.
Peruna is without doubt the greatest
remedy known for catarrh.”—Chas. H.
Stevens.
Afflicted Since Childhood With Catarrh.
Mr. Elbert S. Richards, Milton, Conn.,
writes:
“I am near sixty-eight years of age,
and have from childhood been afflicted
with catarrh in the head, and, for the past
four or five years been much afflicted with
it in my eyes; they being watery, would
materate a good deal, and stick together
in the night. My condition was so fully
described in your.almanac that I decided
to try Peruna.
“ I am thankful to say that I now con
sider myself entirely free from catarrh,
and only use Peruna occasionally now
as a tonic. Accept my sincere thanks
for your personal interest in my case.
' “My son, 21 years of age, has been
using Peruna for a number of weeks for
catarrh in the head and has obtained
great relief.”—Elbert S. Richards.
Catarrh Thirty Years.
Mr. Andrew Barrett, 940 N. Kidzie
Ave., Chicago, Ill., writes:
“ It gives me great pleasure to testify
to the merits of such a worthy remedy
for catarrh as your Peruna. I had
suffered for thirty years from this very
disagreeable disease and had tried many
so-called remedies but until I used Pe
runa none had the desired effect.
“ I have been connected with the
Chicago Police Department for the past
twenty-eight years. I can cheerfully
recommend Peruna to anyone suffering
from catarrh.”—Andrew Barrett.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The new owners, in making the

injunction was therefore dissolved.
The company, therefore, re-com-

What promised to be endless
litigation was, therefore, put to an
end as quickly as if had com

Col. C. C. Sanders Tells of the 4 ‘ Unspeak
able Turk.” and His Great City,
Constant inople.
Constantinople, Turkey, Feb. 27,1903.
We have had an instructive all-day
ride in carriages in the strange city of
Constantinople, with its 850,000 people.
We find the Turks a very temperate
people, no alcoholic drinks are allowed
—the Koran strictly prohibits it. The
men and women are strong and well-
developed physically. They are the
finest specimens^ soldiers I have seen,
capable of very great endurance. The
continued use of intoxicants lessens
the yital forces, producing disease and
degeneracy in the offspring of the
drunkard. The Turks are called to
prayers five times a day, sounded aloud
from high places, and all devout Turks
give heed. They do not use our bible,
but uie their bible, called the Koran.
People are often religious who are
not Christians. The Turks are warlike,
brutal and aggressive. The Sultan has
very nearly absolute power over the
people, is not allowed himself to leave
Turkey. Never but one, it is said, has
visited Europe. The accession to the
throne is from the oldest brother of
the royal family, until all the brothers
have served, then the oldest son of the
last sultan, and so on. The present
ruling sultan has his next oldest
brother now imprisoned within the
city for fear he might some day over
throw the dvnasty.
Mohammed, the prophet, conquered
Constantinople bv long continued
fighting. The people drink much
coffee and no whiskeys whatever.
They are the decendants of Abraham,
and are strong in military power. It
is to be hoped that the hated Turk
may soon be driven out of Europe, but
it seems that England is willing for
her to hold Constantinople, as she is
between her interests and Prussia’s.
She guards the province of Egypt, now
a protectorate of England, and holds
the Suez canal leading to her empire in
India. The city is full of Turkish sol
diers, and if any person is heard speak
ing against the sultan he is imprisoned
without trial.
This city, situated as it is on the Bos
phorus, the Golden Horn, and the Sea
of Marmora, and having a rich agricul
tural country surrounding it, would,
if placed in America, become a city of
many millions. The principal palace
here is of immense size, all of marble,
and full of luxury and magnificence,
and in its interior decorations and ar
rangements it is unexcelled, and almost
surpasses belief. Let one examine it
and he will see.
The great mosque (a church) of St.
Sophia, founded by Emperor Justinian
in the year 502, and whose dome is 105
feet m diameter and 180 feet high, has
more than 35 arched windows in the
base. The aisles have galleries sup
ported by arcades, with the most beau
tiful columns. The vaults are grace
fully arched, are covered with mosaics
on a gold ground, and the walls in-
crusted with marble. Ten to twelve
thousand men were employed in its
construction, and the cost was manj
millions of dollars. There are above
400 mosques in the city. We visited
the next best mosque to St. Sophia, the
one called the “Solomon Magnificent,”
that has the finest cut glass and stain
windows to be found. The sun was
shining against the windows, which
presented an appearance never to be
forgotten. This mosque is enriched by
the wealth of temples shamefully
sacked to decorate the mosque. The
gallitan bridge, as it is called, connects
the city over the Golden Horn, where a
beautifnl aspect presents itself. Many
vessels ot war and merchant vessels
and crafts of every kind are seen. We
crossed over the great bridge four
times in one day’s sight-seeing.
I have said the Turks were very tem
perate, not using intoxicants at all.
The Sultan of Turkey presented a little
luncheon to our party, and what do
you suppose it consisted of? Nothing
except Turkish coffee and sweetened
water—this was all. I had been under
the impression that Constantinople,
Turkey, was in barbarism during the
dark ages in the third to the tenth cen
turies, bat it seems I was mistaken,
Constantinople, in the third century,
had the largest, and far the best
libraries in the world. Constantine
rebuilt it in the third century and
made it his capital, rivaling the citv
of Rome, Italy. Constantine was al
ways unreliable. He had two faces—
one face looking toward Christianity
and the other face looking toward
paganism. The destiny of the then
known world was in the balance, in
his opinion. He was endeavoring,
should the nations sieze on
Christianity, his empire would
be reasonably safe, and should pagan
ism gain the ascendency, then his do^
minion would be united. Western
ideas were the strongest, and Christian
ity gained the ascendency. The cap
ital of the .Roman empire was moved
here, the great Catholic church became
divided into two parts, the Greek
church growing out of the Catholic
church.
Some day, perhaps m the near future
Constantinople will be the scene of
conflict between England and Russia,
each one contending for the mastery.
The sultan has about 25 wives, it is
said, ana a new one is allowed him ev
ery year. We sailed out into the Black
Sea this evening and rode on the wat
ers of Russia.
We are booked to spend next Sunday
March 8th in Nazareth, Palestine. This
was the city of our Savior. He was
reared here and worked at the carpen
ter trade until he was 30 years old,
when he entered upon his work to save
the world. We expect to get to Smyrna
at 10 a. m. and go from there about 30
miles to Ephesus, where was one of the
seven churches. Paul remained and
preached in Ephesus for 3 years. One
of the seven churches mentioned m
Revelations was also at Smyrna. I
have some good views of Constantino
ple. Good-bye,
C. C. Sanders.
Work Of Lightning.
Lightning strnck three rcei*
dences in Gainesville during the
electrical storm last Friday night,
setting Mr. W. H. Cochran’s
house ou fire. ' The light of the
flames was seen at the fire depart*
ment by the men on duty and
they immediately responded,
reaching the house in time to put
the flames out before much dam*
age was done. The residence of
of Mr. B. D. Langford, on Green
street, and the home of Mr. Eli*
jah Lee on Pine street, were also
struck, but no damage was done*
The display of electricity was very
great.
Went to Winder.
A delegation from Stephenson
lodge, Knights of Pythias, went
to Winder last Thursday night to
institute a new lodge of the same
order at that place. About twelve
members from the local lodge
went down, and had a pleasant
trip.
Candler Ashford Resting Well.
Candler Ashford, who was hurt
last week by falling from
an electric light pole on Green
street, is resting fairly well and,
although it will be, perhaps, sev*
eral weeks before he recovers, he
is doing as well as could be ex*
pected. He sustained severe in
juries, and his escape from death
was miraculous. In falling, he
struck a liye wire, which burned
him severely. He had considera
ble fever for several days, but
this has subsided to a great ex*
tent, and careful nursing will
probably bring him around all
right m a few days.
