PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
PRAISES PE-RU-NA.
First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga.. and Its Pastor and Elder.
milK day was when men of promi-
■ nenee hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most propietary medicines. But Pe-
nma haa become so justly famous, its
merits ure known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recom-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta-
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres-
byteriL.i church in the person of Kev.
E. <r. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. ti. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes:
“Havingused Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth.
“My little hoy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca-
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rem-
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottlesof Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady I consider it well nigh a specific.
••As a tonic far weak and worn
out people It has few or no equals. ”•«
Rev. B. O. Smith.
Mr. M. J. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of
Colnmbns, Ohio, writes as follows:
"For a long time 1 was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after using a few
bottles I ain pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and /am now
enjoying better health than I have for
years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. It Is
certainly a grand medicine.”—M. J.
Rossman.
Catarrh is essentially the same where-
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
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
l>e pleased to give you his valuable
advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

PAYING MARGINS ENJOINED.
Chicago, Sept, lti.—A most important
decision against the Chicago board of
trade was rendered in the "July oats
corner” injunction cases. Not only
does the opinion of the court, if sus-
tained by higher tribunals, put an cud
to all corners in commodities on the
exchange, but it strikes at the very life
of the institution an now organized.

their powers curtailed that they can-
not longer adjudicate upon property
rights of members of the association.

says that under the charter of the
hoard of trade thore is no provision
for succession of membership and asks
the pertinent question "what should
become of the corporation when per-
sons now composing the original hoard
would be dead.”

board of trade, the Bank of Montreal

hoard of trade in which a temporary
injunction was granted to prevent
margins that were put tip by the com-
plainants from being handed down to
the contracting defendants. The claim
was made that the defendants had run
a corner. The complainants who had
sold "short” to the defendants, while
not denying their contracts and while
declaring their purpose to make good
I these same contracts, made protest
against having the case adjudicated
I by the board of trade as provided by
the by-laws of the association.

to Manila by ships from Hong Kong,

friars, who told the natives they did
not have cholera.

The oil was drawn from the tankn a*
