tried in vain to fight back his emo
tion, then, he too, succumbed, and
with bowed head paid a silent
tribute to his departed wife.
A bond of strongest sympathy
holds these three men. All were
similarly bereaved during this.ses-

and jagged. There was a depth of

Clerk,
lone of the very best remedies forcatarrh
on motion
| A tonic is a medicine that gives tone I
jto some part of the system. There are
different kinds of tonics, but the tonic
mostneeded in this country, where ca
tarrh is so prevalent, is a tonic that
operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem-
rbranes of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Hon. J. E. Macias, recent postmaster
kt Porto Rico, in a letter from 1417 K
Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. says : <
I “As a native born Cuban, serving as
postmaster in Porto Rico, I contracted
yellow fever and have been suffering
from the ill effects of that dreadful dis
ease since my return home. I was ad
vised by a friend to use Peruna and I
can speak in th e highest: terms of your
remarkable medicine. I feel like a. new
man and shall take pleasure in recom
mending it to those similarly afflicted.
It is a fine tonic,-and is in every way a
wonderful medicine. Peruna has be
come of national importance.
It has the record of the greatest ca
tarrh remedy of the age.”
Peruna is a specific in its operation
upon the* mucous membrane. It is a
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out cararrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.

the good Lord keep all sorrow from
you,” spoke President Frye, of the

His voice trembled, grew husky,

Then he continued his address.
His words went home to all of that

of two men, he touched a respon
sive chord that manifested itself
in manly tears.
