MISS JULIA MARLOWE.
In a recent letter to The Perunn
Medicine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe, of
New York city, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"I rtm glad to write my endorse
ment of the great remedy, Perunn, ns
a nerve tonic. I do so most heart
Hv." Julia Marlowe.
Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition Is due to ane
mic nerve centers. The nerve centers
are tho reservoirs of nervous vitality.
These centers become bloodless for
want of proper nutrition. This I. es
pecially true in the spring seneon.
Every spring a host of Invalids are
produced as the direct result ot weak
nerves
This could bo easily obviated by tho
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the dlillculty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri
tion for the nerve centers. Properly
dlpested food furnishes .tuse reseivolrs
of life with vitality which leada to
strong, steady nerves, and thus nour
ishes life.
Peruna is In great favor among wo
men, especially thoso who have voca
tions that arc trying to the nervous
system. Peruns furnishes the lasting
invigoratton for the nerves that such
people .so much need. Thousands of
testimonials from women in all parts
of the United States are being received
every year. Such unsolicited evidence
surely proves thnt Peruna is without
an (-qual ns a nerve tonic nnd vital
invlgorator.
Buy a tottle of Peruna today. If
you do not receive all the benefits
from Peruna that you expected, write
to Dr. Hnrtman, Columbus, Ohio.

stono Dramatic company presented "The Signal
of Libert," which was receded with gieat
favor by the audience.

"Miss Hobbs."
Jeromo K. Jerome's new comedy, "Jliss
Hobbs," which Annie Russell will otter at the
Ljecum on I'riday cvenlnic, had not been pro
duced on any stage until with Miss Russell last
September at the Lccum theater in New York.
Its scene is laid in Larchmont in New York
state, and most of tho characters are American.
. Is a triumph for an English author to write
a play located in America, with American char
acters, and have its first performance to be an
American audience, and Its reception be a com
plimentary one. The play has since made a hit
at the Duke of Yoik, Charles r'rohman's theater
in London.
