"Finally I gave up and thought I
would wait for my end. One day I
happened to pick up one of your hooks.
I read of other women who were near
death and had been cured by Peruiu,
so I thought I would try It.
"I took a couple of bottles and be
gan to feel better. I continued its

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, May 4. The stoek market main
tained Us narrow and professional character to
day. As though to ary the appearance ol it
cent monotony in the market, yesterday's slight
upward mcvimtnt was continued at the op. n
lug today, instead ol starting m tht oupositu
direction. Itut this was hardly more than
device ot the small trader, to give an appear
ance of stiength to tho market and their realiz
ing sales before the clo-e brought prices back
to about last night's level and left the net
thanges inslgnllicsnl, except In a few usually
Inactive stocks. Sugar retained Its prominence
though on a dctreased olume of dealings. It
was lilted aboio yesterday's close once or twice
with difficulty, and lost about a point on the
day. bong Island ran oil HV4. seemingly on
rcaliglug on the signing by the governor of the
bill authorizing a rallioad bridge at Hell Rite,
but In the late dealings tho stock scored a
rapid recovery of 4V4 points. The steel stocks
showed some rather languid evidences ot posl
tle strengtli without any paitlcular news to
account for it, beyond the published opinion of
the president of one of the companies, arguing
that tlie picscnt low stocks in the yards and
the Impossibility of lompetltion irom Europe
Insures against any considerable reaction in price.
The strength of the London maikct helped the
