known Italian in the countrv. In a
letter from Washington, D. C, to The
Peruna Medicine Co., he says:
"I can commend your great na
tional catarrh cure, Peruna, to my
friends throughout the country as a
safe, reliable medlolne. I know ot
no other tonic that will build a per
son up as well aB Peruna. It is a

town, Pa., writes
"My oldest daugh
ter, Mallnda Roy
er.Is cured of deaf
ness by Peruna.
When she began
to take Peruna we
had to go up close
to her and talk
very loud to make
her hear.
"After taking
onp - half dozen
bottles of Peruna
she can hear you
In any part of the
room. She can hear an ordinary con
versation." Thousands of people have catarrh
who would be surprised to know It,
because it has been called some oth'r
name than catarrh. The fact Is, c.i
tarrh is catarrh wherever located; and
another fact which is of equally great
Importance, that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
Catarrh Is an American disease. Ful
ly one-half of the people are afflicted
more or less with It In some form.
Previous to the discovery of Peruna
catarrh was considered well nigh In
curable. Since the Introduction of Pe
runa to the medical profession thous
ands of cases are cured annually.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, March 16. Whatever signi
ficance attached to today's stock market
was of an active character. Trading In
the aggregate was on -small scale and
even at that was congested In a few of
the specialties. Third Avenue continued
to absorb a large share of attention, and
was the only stock on the Hat with any
considerable range, in the price fluctua
tions. After an early decline this stock
moved upward over 6 points end closed
with a net gain of 2V&. 8ugar was active,
but showed a comparatively narrow
range and ended the day with a small
net gain. People's Gas more than re
trieved an early decline and Pacific Mall
was notably weak. Otherwise the deal.
Ings were small, price fluctuations nar
row In the list of stocks, dull In a short
one. The general tone was firm and prob
ably due to the fact that tho bear traders
bought stocks to cover short contracts.
There was no evidence of any outMae
speculative demand, but there was soma
investment buying here and there on a
small scale. Probably the bears were in.
duced to cover by the prospect that to
morrow's bank statement may fall slight
ly short of being as weak as was feared.
Total sales, 212,2(o shares. Bonds were
relatively more active than stocks, some
of the dormant high grade issues being
dealt in at advancing prices. At other
points prices yielded. Total sales, par
value, J2.075.000. United States old 6s de.
clined i and the 3s and 5s H per cent, in

In a modest and unobtrusive way there
are few better conducted hotels In tho
metropolis than the St. Denis.
The great popularity it has acquired can
readily be traced to Its unique location,
Its home-like atmosphere, the peculiar ex
cellence of Its cuisine and service, and Its
very moderate prices.
