ante r - INDUSTRI VOLUME XIV. GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1903. NUMBER 46. 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.

The new owners, in making the purchase, consented for the elec tric company to lay its tracks as originally contemplated, and the injunction was therefore dissolved. The company, therefore, re-com- menced it's work, and by Friday night had it’s track acrdss the street finished. What promised to be endless litigation was, therefore, put to an end as quickly as if had com menced. Gainesville Shoe and Clothing Co. Mr. L. H.

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.
