KENAH.
Miss Florence E. Kenali, 434 Muria street, Ottawa, Oat., writes:
** A few months ago I caught a severs cold, which settled on my lungs
and remained there so persistently that I became alarmed. 1 took medi
cine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my
head and back began to ache severely and frequently.
%< 1 was advised to try Veruna, and although I had little faith, J felt so
sick that 1 was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at
once, and I felt that I had the right medicine at last. Within three weeks
1 was completely restored and have enjoyed perfect health since.

\\T OMEN should beware of contract
tt catarrh. The cold wind uiul
rain, slush and mud of winter are es
pecially conducive, to catarrhal de
rangements. Few women escape.
Upon the first symptoms of catching
cold Peruna should be taken. It forti
fies the system against colds and ca
tarrh.
The following letter gives one young
woman's experience with Peruna:
Miss Hose Gerbing is a popular soci
ety woman of Crown Point, Ind„ and
she writes the following:
"Recently 1 took a long drive In the
country, and being too thinly clad 1
caught a bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which I could not seem to
shake off. I had heard a great deal of
Peruna for colds and catarrh and 1
An Accommodating Messenger.
Henry Neal, Speaker Henderson's
colored messenger, has occupied his
present position over sinco his appoint
ment by Mr. Randall. Then he said
he hailed from Pennsylvania, and as
succeeding Speakers were chosen he
promptly changed his birthplace in the
various States from which they came.
It rather stumped him when he was in
formed that Mr. Henderson was a na

by declaring himself a resident of lowa.

Paris' Tree-Lined Street*.
In Paris wide tree-lined avenues have
been made in every district. Nothing
of the kind exists either in London
or New York. Foreigners, who only
know the luxurious quarters, imagine
that the boulevards and avenues of the
western part of the city are the only
ones that have trees, says the Archi
tectural Record. They would be sur
prised to see that in tho east and
south—working-class district —thero
are similar broad roadways, the same
roomy sidewalks, the same lines of
trees —and that the Place de la Nation,
the Place d'ltalie, the Place do la Re
publique and the Place de la Bastille
have no need to be jealous in this re
spect of tiieir more aristocratic sisters,
the Place du Trocadero and the Place
de l'Etoile. For the most part, tho
tree employed—especially in the cen
ter of Paris —is the allanthus. There
are, however, also many plane-trees,
and, in the wider avenues, chestnut
trees. In 1890, the trees lining the
public thoroughfares numbered 84,936,
besides those growing in the public
squares, gardens and parks. But the
art of making a city beautiful must be
practiced down to its minutest detail,
and therefore do not let us be afraid
to go down on the street and see how
it is ornamented, lighted and rendered
pleasant and commodious; in a word,
how it is furnished. A promenade
through Paris will teach us much, and
in this respect American citios, New
York first of all, can profit by the ob
ject lesson which this is going to give
them.

Letters Written In Wrath.
Because everybody does no know or
remember the story of Abraham Lin
coln and Secretary Stanton, we tell It
once more. It is good for use. Stan
ton had been exasperated by the con
duct of one of the generals in the field.
He complained of him to President Lin
coln, and said he was going to give it
to him hot. "That's right," said Lin
coln. "Write him a letter and tell
him just what you think of him. Make
a clean breast of it." With heat, Sec
retary Stanton wrote his letter, and
showed it to the President. Then he
folded it to be inclosed and directed.
President Lincoln said. "What are
you going to do with that letter, Stan
ton-" "Why, lam going to send it to
him, of course." "Oh, no," said Lin
coln. "Put it in the waste basket.
You never ought to send a letter of that
kind. You've got the thing off your
mind now. Let it drop." In ninety
nine times in a hundred the place for a
letter written in wrath is the wasto
basket.
On the Vrgo of Brlffht'i Disease.—
A Quick Curo That Lasted.
CASE NO. 30, Gil.—C. E. Boies, dealer
in grain, and feed, 505 South Water
street, Akron, 0., made the following
statement in 189G; ho said: "Ever
[ since the Civil War I have had attacks
of kidney and bladder trouble, decid
edly worse during the last two or three
years. Although I consulted physi
cians, some of whom told me I was
verging on Bright's disease, and I was
continually "using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoul
der blades, still existed. As might be j
expected when my kidneys were in a
disturbed condition, there was a dis
tressing and inconvenient difficulty
with the action of the kidney secre
tions. A box of Doau's Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug
store, brought such a decided change
within a week that I continued the
treatment. The last attack, and it was
particularly aggravated, disappeared."
Three Yours After.
Mr. Boies says in 1899: "In the
spring of 1890 I made a public state
ment of tny experience with Doau's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of a terrible aching In the kidneys, in
tho small of my back, In the muscles
of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have
gone by I can conscientiously say there
have been no recurrences of my old
trouble. My coufldouce in Doan's Kid
ney PHIb Is stronger than ever, not
Only from my personal experience,
but from the experience of many oth
ers In Akron which have come to my
notice."

Tired Mother's Touching Story of
Anxiety and Suffering.
Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure to £Kin
Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest
to Its Worn Out Mother.
It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick.
Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and
mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After a
plucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and early
in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor,
who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth A ve., New York City.
"l hired a girl to mind the chil
dren and to do whatever else she
could. I couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as I was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
ful and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, I didn't think much of that:
Even when a rash broke out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sev
eral of my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing about it.
" But the rash on Charlie's poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little lumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer ! He wouldn't
eat, .and night after night I walked
the floor with him, weak as I was.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
44 1 believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
that is not catching, they told
mo. Yes, I'gave him medicine, and
put salvos and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in a while the itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her I had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't- want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at flrst. She gave me some
Cuticura Ointment—l think the
box was about half full and a
piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed
f ' The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema;
the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair, and crusting
of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety
of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all
demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully
cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent
are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made
regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence.
The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood
purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.

putting that nice Ointment on the
sores.
" I wouldn't have believed that
my baby would have been cured by
a little thing like that. Not all of a
sudden, mind yon. Little by little,
but so surely. Charlie and I both
got more peace by day, and more
sleep by night. The sores sort of
dried up and went away. I shall
never forget one blessed night when
I went to bed with Charlie beside
me, as soon as I got the supper
dishes out of the way and the older
children undressed ; when I woke
up the sun was streaming in. For
the first time in six months I had
slept through the night without a
break.
41 Yes, that fat little boy by the
window is Charlie, and his skin is
as white as a snow flake, thanks to
the Cuticura Remedies. I think
everybody should knuw about the
Soap and also the Ointment, and if
it is going to help other mothers
with sick babies, go ahead and pub
lish what I have told you."
