General James B. O'Beirnne, 290 Broadway, Washington, D. 0., late Oommissioner of Charities oi
New York City, N. Y, and Assistant Oommissioner of Immigration, writes as follows:
"As many of my friends and acquaintances havesuccessfullyused your Peruna as a catarrh cure,
I feel that It is an eftective remedy, and I recommend It as such to those suffering from that disease as t
most hopetul source of rellef." > JAMES R. O'BEIRNB.
Spring Time the Best Se__
son of the Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrh.
Notwlthstondlng that a great number
of people have been cured of chronlo
catarrh by taklng Peruna during the
past cold .seasori. yet It cannot be denlod
that the cold, wet, sformy weather has
retarded many cures, and, ln some cases,
actually ? prevented a cure.
But sprlngtlme has come at last, and
now ls the tlmo for all catarrh suffererB
to' begln a systematlo course of treat
ment for this disease. The greatest dlffl
oulty ln tho way of treatlng chronlo
catarrh is that tho patlent ls so llable to
catch cold during the traatment- and
thus delay a cure.
Thls llablllty at thls season of tho year
ia, In a great measure, removed, and no
ona should negloct the opportunlty to
tako treatment
Peruna is* acltnowledged by ? everyono
to bo tho only rellablo and unfalling
cure of catarrh whorover 1'. tmay bo
located. ?'When you take Peruna you
are not experlmentlng wlth ah unknown
remedy,
Men and women of national reputa
tlon, aa well oa thousands In the humbler
walks of life, publicly endorse Peruna.
Peruna does all that ls olaimed for'lt. It
cures oatarrh.
Mr. John E. Burns,, 28 Spring Gardon
Road, Hollfax,. N. B., Wator Inspoctor,
wrltos;
"I can hardly flnd words that can ex
press my thanks to you for what your
remedy has dono for me.' I havo been
troublod.wlth catarrh of-the hoad for a
couple of yoars, and I was porsuadod to
try Perunn, and found great beneflt after
uslng three bottles, and I can recom
mend lt hlghly tb any one sufferlng from
the same."
JOHN E. BURNS.
Peruna Cured Catarrh of Several Yeara*
? Standing.
Mr. G.' L. Martin, Hartford, Ont., cholr
leader at St. Paul's Bplscopal Church,
wrltes:
"Peruna. ls a wonderful remedy for
catarrhal troubles. I have been troubled
with catarrh for a great many years,
and always trying somothlng for it, but
was able only?? to socure tomporary ro
Hof untll r used-Peruna, Only flve bot?
tles rid my Bystem of all tracos of ca?

" / wlsh to emphasize my hlgh
opinion of Peruna as the finest

I have recommended Its use toa

? ? ?
The ides of Maroh are upon us,
Whatever thoy are.
And wlth them come such thlngs as
baso-ball and marblos and kltes,
lt wus ln the good old days of the
ldos that Ben Franklln dtsooverod llght
nlng by meana of a klte, and evor slnco
thnt tlme the country haa been crowdod
wlth llgbtnlng rod ngonts and barbod
wlre fence drummors.
They say tho wlnds doth. blow In
Mnroh, and thoy also say that lt's an
lli wind that don't blow somebody no
good.
Lot the March wlnde blowj
Away wlth the snow?
We want to noe blossoma and. ftow
ers;
We want' to slt down,
On soft, mossy ground.
We won't object to spring showers.
AVo want to play ball
From Bprlng untll fall:
We want to slt In tha grandstend
And watch 'Squlre Donatl,
Who's nrnlly so fnt ho :._???,'.
Can't reach to tho ground wlth hls
hand.
Let the ldos of March come
Let thom como wlth a vongeanoo, for
we have no more coal and very llttlo
wood, and wlth the flrst sprlgs pt grass
the 8lx may east oalda thelr old shoes
and onea more may wo havo soma
funds left over to buy hokov-pokey.
It takes most of our time to koep up
wllh tho rules of baso-ball.
We usod to go out wlth a red shUt
on and a whlto stnr on our hroist. and
a belt on wlth "Captaln" ln tha nilddie,
and play ball accordlng to tho rules
lald down for us by tho blgger boys.
Not Bam and John.
Now wo hava to carry a book ln our

Purk thls season, whoro wo can ent pea

Wo want ti place where we can tako

And we want to see some good ball,
and we have been told thnt wo are

We wlsh to oxprcss our gratltude at

tho "flshlng polo gamo," and we want
to see that Oriental beauty who dld
tho aorpentlne dance on tho mldway at

On with the Carnlval!
Let eonfottl fail down our back llke
apple blossoms on the orehard grass.
Let ornngcade and hot sausages llow
Hko tlie noblo Jeenies.
Let our country couslns como to see
us, and lot them havo a good tlme.
Glvo us anothor tioral parado, and an
Oriental march of camels nnd donkoys

Let the eleotrlo dlsplay shlno forth ln

Hurrah for Colonol Murphy nnd Mr.

Colonel Branch is not satlsned with

Ho wants all the stroet cars removed

"Street cars are a menace to the busl?

"Suppose," he quothed., "you walke.
from Steeath Street Up to Steenth. You'll
naturally stop and look ln thewlndowa.
Then you'd see somethlng you'd get,
whether you needed lt or not. If you
got on a car and rode up you'd paaa by,.
and tho rosult would be that you'd not
