MIMIC NAVAL WAR
Programme of Maneuvers
Off Atlantic Coast
OBJECT IS TO REACH A PORT"
Admiral Iilersrlnson Commands the
Defending; Squadron, Commander
Pillsbury tbe Attacking: Fleet
Problem to Bo Solved.
ROCKPORT, Mass., Aug;. 2a The New
England Coast fromJPortland Harbor to
Cape Cod Is on a war basis, and will be
for" some t'irbe to come. iTheinen -who are
the most Interested are the- officers and
crews of the vessels of the North Atlantic
fleet, which Rear-Admiral Higglnson com
mands. To put the situation in a few words is to
say that somewhere in the Atlantic is a
fleet supposed by the North Atlantic fleet
to be a hostile one, which hy strategy
purely Intends reaching the New England
shores. On the other hand, Rear-Admiral
.glnson is to use his fleet to stop that
'enemy. It Is a war game to be worked
out with real men manning actual fight
ing machines, under unavoidable condl
tlons of wind and waves, with the proba
bilities of fog and storm, and, what is
more important, the ever-present danger
of disaster on the reefs and shoals which
naturally guard much of this coast line.
The war game began at noon, when
Rear-Admiral Higglnson moved his fleet
out of the harbor of refuge here and" went
in .search of the enemy. Tonight the
picket line has been established, and
mimic war without the burning of gunpow
der may begin at any moment. The con
ditions, however, make it appear certain
that Commander Pillsbury will not at
tempt to land until at least tomorrow
night; in fact, his attack is expected then.
The question that confronted Admiral
Higglnson as he studied his map on the
Xearsarge tonight was the location and
hour of attack of the opposing squadron.
He has his naval intelligence bureau con
necting all points along the shore from
Portland to Provlncetown, and the cen
tral point is In a shed on the shore of the
harbor of refuge. By telephonic com
munication the flagship can be Informed
of the appearance of any otrange vessel
off the coast, and in such an event tho
Admiral can quickly assemble his fleet and
proceed to that point and endeavor to
crush the enemy. All was activity on the
defending squadron tonight, although tho
night was one of the most beautiful of
the Summer, making it almost certain that
Commander Pillsbury would not be so rash
as to attempt to fun into the coast when
his craft could bo seen, miles away.
The Plan of Cnmpalsn.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. The mimic
naval war began at noon today. Admiral
Higglnson and Commander Pillsbury, In
command of the rival fleets, respeotively
designated "Blue" and "White," the latter
under command of Commander Pillsbury.
being tho attacking fleet, were supplied
with confidential instructions, which went
into effect at noon. The problem for tho
"White" fleet, which is at sea, is to effect
a landing between Portland. Me., and Cape
Cod, before August 25. To be successful,
the attacking fleet must seize some unde
fended anchorage between the points
named, Portland harbor being included,
hut not Casco Bay. and hold It for six
hours without being ousted by a superior
force.
The Instructions define the harbor seized
as one that must be capable of gun and I
mine defense, with not les3 than six fath-
oms of water, anchorage for several large
ships, and in all respects suitable for an J
advance bas3 for an enemy's fleet, in- !
eluding heavy ships. Under the Instruc
tions defining the character of the har
bor he must seize. Commander Pillsbury
is much restricted. The Prairie, which is
the heaviest-draught vessel In his fleet,
draws slightly under 2C feet, the Panther
IS feet .2 inches, and the Supply 20 feet.
Naval officers have generally agreed, that
the chances against the "White" squadron
in the game which is on are very great,
and that practically its only chance of
success will lie In the existence of a heavy
fog", under cover of which Commander
Pillsbury might slip through the cordon
of scouts and reach an anchorage in an
undefended port. Tho distance between
Cape Cod, the southern extremity of the
coast defended" hy Admiral Hlgglnson's
fleet, and Portland, Me., Is only about
100 miles.
In addition to the torpedo craft and his
lightship, which he could use as scouts
and string between these points almost
within signal distance of each other, while
the heavier ships were held together ready
to move at some central point. Admiral
Higglnson has stationed Ensigns all along
the shore to report the enejny the moment
it is sighted. These naval officers will bo
reinforced by all marine observers along
the coast. To win. the "White" squadron
must be in port for six hours without
being confronted by a superior force.
Within the time after the "White" squad
ron Is sighted. Admiral Higglnson. if he
holds his heavy ships midway between
the two extremities of the line to be de
fendedat Rockport, for instance could
reach his enemy by steaming 10 or '11
knots an hour. From Capo Ann. which is
just outside of Rockport. to Cape Cod is
only 42Vj miles, and from Cape Ann to
Elizabeth Light, outside of Portland, is
only 5S miles.
Anothinr feature of the situation against
the chances of the "White Squad
will militate against the "White Squad
ron Is tbe Instruction which requires
Commander Pillsbury to enter "an unde
fenocd harbor." one "with deep-water ap
proaches." with "six fathoms" of water,
one capable of defense by "guns and
mines," and one In which heavy ships
could anchor. These restrictions will con
fine him to at least a dozen harbors,
among them Portland, Portsmouth. Rock
port, Salem and Provlncetown. None of
the other places, like Newburyport, Ip
swich, Anniquan, Gloucester, 2-fanchester.
Beverly, Marblehead. above Boston, or
Plymouth, Barnstable and other ports be
low, would be available. A full moon is
also another factor against the enemy's
success. Under the circumstances, the
naval experts generally agree that an at
tempt to strike the coast during the day
time would be foolhardy for the attack
ing fleet: hut at night, -with very thick
weather, it might be possible for Com
mander Pillsbury. with his ships dark
ened, to creep In. pass the scouts and
o.uietly anchor without being reported un
til too late for Admiral Higglnson to reach
him with a- superior force. The speed of
Commander Pillsbury's fastest ship, the
Prairie, is 14.9 knots, the Panther can
make 14. but the" Supply only 94, so that
if the fleet is Isept together, as his direc
tions tread, the speed of his squadron can
not he more than its slowest unit, name
ly, 9V knots. If sighted outside, therefore,
hy one of the swift torpedo-boats, which
make from 20 to 25 knots an hour, the
scout could scoot away to the nearest
land point and report the enemy to Ad
miral Higglnson, who could be on his way
to intercept him before the latter could
reach his destination.
MOBILIZATipX. OP TROOPS.
Order for Army Maneuvers at Fort
Riley, Kan.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. An order was
Issued at the War Department today di
recting the mobilization of a mixed divis
ion of regulars and militia, on the large-
reservation at Fort Riley, Kan. The reg
ular troops to participate in the encamp
ment and attend the maneuvers at that
point comprise the following organiza
tions:
First Batalllort of Engineers; headquar
ters, bandV First and Second Squadrons
Fourth Cavalry: Third Squadron Eighth
Cavalry Sixth, Seventh, Nineteenth,
Twentieth and Twenty-eighth Batteries
of the Artillery; headquarters, band and
12 companies Sixth United States Infan
try; headquarters, band and li. companies
Twenty-second United States Infantry;
headquarters, band and Eighteenth Unit
ed States Infantry, except Company
detachment -of Signal Corps; detachment
of Hospital Corps.
The Governors of all the states were in
vited to send a contingent of the various
state troops to participate in these ma
neuvers, but for want of appropriations
and various other causes, very few of tho
states found themselves able, -at this late
day, to participate. Arkansas will send
ono batalllo'n of infantry; Kansas two
regiments of Infantry and two batteries
of field artillery, and Nebraska, two reg
iments of infantry. A number of Govern
ors of states have signified their Inten
tion to send officers to witness these
maneuvers, and they have expressed
the hope that they may be able in future
years to furnish organizations to taKe
part in such practical work, which will
be of great benefit to all participating.
It Is expected that President Roosevelt
will review the troops participating In
the maneuvers, but the date of the re
view has not been determined definitely.
The-regular contingent of the division
will go Into camp at Fort Riley Septem
ber 20 and will be followed by the state
organizations September 29. It Is Intended
to continue joint maneuvers for a period
of 10 days'after the division is organized.
In order not to interfere with the current
work of the various department headquar
ters, a special division staff has been de
tailed to report to Major-Goneral John C.
Bates, who has been asfilgned to the com
mand of the division during the maneu
vers. The benefits to be derived from this
coming together of brigades and divisions
is eo apparent that the War Department
has fully determined upon this policy for
the future. Many states have permanent
maneuvers for their National Guards dur
ing tho Summer months, and the result
has been extremely beneficial to all those
organizations. The regular Army has had
an abundance of field service during the
past four years, but nearly all. their re
cent work has been done by small de
tachments, frequently mere sqpadfl. It is
probable that the maneuvers for this year
will include instructions in advance and
rear guard, patroJHngT passage of defiles,
defense of convoys, marches or concen
tration, attack and defense of positions,
use of pontoon bridges, and combined ma
neuvers of the three arms.
The fallowing officials have been en
signed to duty on the staff of General
Bates and have been directed to report at
Fort Riley not later than September 20:
J. J. W. McClemand. cavalry. Adjutant
General; Lieutenant-Colonel S. C. Mills,
Inspector-General; Cop'talni C. B. Baker,
Chief Qunrtermaster; Captain H. J. Gal
lagher, Chief of Commissary: Lieutenant
Colonel John Van R. Hoff, Chlof Surgeon,
and Major G. P. Schrlver, Chief Signal
Officer.
Falling OA in Pensions.
TOPEKA, Knn., Aug. 2a The annual
report of Wilder S. Metcalf7 Pension
Agent, shows for the first time In the
history of the office a falling off In the
amount of money paid out for pensions.
Tho total amount disbursed from Topelta
for the fiscal year ending June SO was
$15,903,135 59.
COMMERCE WITH ISLANDS
Exports of the United States to
ItM
Xoncontlnrnons Territory.
WAEHINGTON. Aug. 19. Definite fig
ures of the commerce of the United States
with its noncontiguous territory during
the fiscal year just ended are now com
pleted by the Treasury Bureau of Statis
tics. They show that Porto Rico took
from tho United States In the fiscal year
1902 merchandise valued at $10,719,444. com
pared with $l,98.SSS.ln 1897. and that the
shipments to the United States from
Porto Rico in the fiscal year 1902 were
$3,297,122. compared with J2.181.024 In 1S97.
To the Philippines exports were 13,261.567
In 1802. compared with ?4.587 In 1897. and
the Imports from the Philippines were
S5.G12.7O0 In 1902, compared with J4.3S3.740 in
1&97. To the Hawaiian Islands the ex
p'orts in 1900 were, according to the best
estimates, of the Collector at Honolulu.
519,000.000 in 1902. compared with Sl.GW.073
In 1S97, and the receipts of merchandise
Into the United States from Hawaii In
1900 were $24,700,429, compared with $12.-
6S7.798 In 1687. To Porto Rico. Hawaii and
the Philippines combined the shipments in
1902 were 534,971.311 in value, compared with
6,773,560 in 1E97, and the receipts of mer
chandise from those islands in 1902 were
JS9.C10.551. compared with 520.252.563 in 1S97.
Shipments by the Government for its
troops or officers are not included in the
above figures.
The figures published by the Bureau of
Statistics in the monthly summary show
the shipments from the United States to
Its noncontiguous territory and furnish an
cpportunlt" to determine the principal ar
ticles In which this large growth has oc
curred. To Porto Rico the principal ship
ments were cotton goods. Iron and steel
manufactures. breadBtuffs, rice, provisions.
wood and manufactures, leather and man-H
ufactures. fish, mineral oils and vege
tables. To the Philippines the principal
exports were manufactures of iron and
steel, provisions, brcadstuffs, cotton man
ufactures, mineral oils, paper and manu
factures, malt liquors and manufactures
of leather.
The following tairles show the principal
shipments to Porto Rico and the Philip
pines in 1902. compared with 1S97. The
details of shipments to the Hawaiian
Islands in 1902 cannot be shovrn. owing to
the absence of statistical records of such
shipments. Beginning with the present
year, however, the Bureau of Statistics
has resumed the collection of detailed sta
tistics of the movements of commerce be
tween the United States and the Hawaiian
Islands as well as those to Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Alaska.

Great Northern President' Address
at Trans-Mississippi Congress
Building Up Oriental Trade.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 20. The trust question
was la evidence again today in tbe dis
cussions before the Trans-Mlsslsslppl
Congress, and a number of resolutions
bearing upon Its various phases wero In
troduced and recommended to the com
mittee on resolutions. Colonel Moses O.
Wttmore, of St. Louis, Introduced a.
scries of strong anti-trust resolutions
which declared that trusts area menace
to a republican form of government and
to the hopes and ambitions of youth, and
urged the President to enforce the laws
against illegal combinations, and, if
those laws are insufficient, he Is asked to
call upon Congress to supply the defi
ciency. On tho other hand. Mr. Thurber,
of New York, introduced a resolution
asking Congress to suspend Judgment un
til it can be loarncd whether or not trusts
are an evlll
Mr. Thurber's declaration in his speech
of yesterday, that after months of careful
.Inquiry and examination he was able to
assert that the so-called beef trust was a
figment of the imagination, called, forth a
resolution today from William H. Eustls,
of Minneapolis, asking that this part of
Mr. Thurber's address be expunged from
the records of the congress. The motion
caused a lively debate and was made a
special order for tomorrow's seEslon.
A number of notable addresses were
made today, that of President J. J. Hill,
of the Great Northern Railroad, upon
"Oriental Trade," being of special Inter
est. State organizations for next year were
reported by the different delegations, as
follows:
Alaska Vice-president, John W. Ivey,

gotc J. J. Hill, president of the Northern Se
curities Company, was introduced to the
congress at the afternoon session and
spoke on "Our Trade With tho Orient," a
topic on which, he hns come to be re
garded as- na-authority. Ho sketched
briefly the trade with the Orient and the
various movements directed toward secur
ing It in' the past. Prom the opening of
Japan to foreign trade that -country's
trade has increased tenfold. The popula
tion of the Orient with which we might
trade constitutes about one-half of "the
population of the earth. He discussed the
prospective trade with the Chinese people,
whom he regarded as more enterprising
and better business men than the Japan
ese. He paid a high tribute to the Chinese,
saying no people on earth could drive nn
Intelligent Chinaman out of a commercial
proposition. -Lack of adequate transpor
tation facilities greatly hinders trade. Our
trade there is capable of infinite develop
ment. All the European countries go
across- two oceans to reach that trade,
which they greatly desire, while we need
cross but one. He gave briefly an idea
of the great development in our trade
there In recent years. The first American
cotton went to Japan and China six years
ago, lack of transportation having previ
ously prevented 1L The shipment of cot
ton has constantly and greatly Increased
every year since, and now his road has
been compelled to refuse orders for as
much as 20.000 bales of cotton in one
month because of the lack of shipping
facilities. The shortest and cheapest
route from tho cotton fields to the Oriont
is by way of Puget Sound, he tnid. He
told in some dtall of the plans now un
der way to handle this growing traffic.
As low rates can be given across the Pa
cific from any point In the United States
as from New York via the Suez Canal.
Speaking of the proposed Isthmian ship
canal, Mr. Hill declared he would not
lay a straw In the way o'f Its construction
at an expersi of some 5WW.OOO.O0O, but, in
his opinion, 535,000.000 to 540.000.000 spent
In deepening the channel of the Mississip
pi River between New Orleans and St.
Louis would give far better results In the
end. As to money spent on the Improve
ment of tho upper waters of that same
river, he thought It would be much better
Invested In Irrigating the arid regions of
the great West. The railroads were not
in the habit of taking Into consideration
river rates north of St. Louis in fixing
their railroad rates, for the reason that
the river business in that section was
comparatively small and of little value.
Ho suggested that for irrigation it would
be the best plan for the Government to
Irrigate and develop 1C00 acres of land
at an expenea of 55 to 510 an acre and then
roll It for from 510 to 520. therebv creat
ing a fund to carry on further Irrigation
schemes without any expense beyond that
first Involved.
In discussing the trade which the rail
road and steamship lines would be best
able to carry to the Orient, he argued
that those which brought the speediest
returns would be the most profitable in
vestment. Insisting that chief attention
should be paid to the farm products
throughout the entire Western country,
and that It would prove to be poor policy
to depend on the development of slower
manufacturing enterprises or on the less
sure mining wealth of the West. The
railroads wanted, products which vnM
make a haul for them both ways, thereby'
iUKKuig po5g:pie lower rates on what wa3
hauled.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion made its report this afternoon and
the convention adopted It without oppo
sition. The new officers are: President.
John H. Kirby, Houston. Tex.; vlce-presl-dcnts-at-large.

all parts of the country. In his annual
address. President- Frank Eurlch. of De
troit. Mich., said, regarding the method
of disposing of the dead:
"We must admit that all tbe present
methods outside of cremation are puny
efforts to retard dissolution, asldo from
being repulsive and undeniably dangerous
to the Hying."

NOW A' REBEL SHIP.
Colombiaa XasargeHts Making Use
of the GsHboat Boyaca.
PANAMA. Colombia, Aug. 20. The gov
ernment gunboat Boyaca, which left here
July 9 to earn' 300 soldiers to Agua Dulce,
and which was captured by the Colombia
revolutionists, Is now at sea, flying the
revolutionary flag. Before she left here
General Sulozar ordered the commander
of the gunboat not to fire tho guns of that
vessel, becauso he feared that tho bad
condition of the Boyaca would endanger
those on board if her guns were discharged.-
Revolutionary reports- of the
capture of the gunboat state that she
fought two hours before being captured,
and it Is believed In government circles
that some accident to her. machinery or
rudder forced the commander to accept
unequal battle until further resistance was
Impossible. The- Boyaca was a very old
ship, and her machinery and keel were in
very bad condition. She was built in 1SS3
at Wilmington, Del., for the Colombian
Government. The hopes of the Conserva
tives of Panama are now centered in tho
steamer which Senor Concha, Colombian
Minister at Washington, 13 supposed to
havo bought recently at San Francisco.
Should this vessel sail promptly for the
Isthmus, with good gunners on board, it
Is believed by government officials that
with the reinforcements now expected here
from Barr&nqullla, General Salazar need
have ro fear of an attack from the revo
lutionary forces under General Herrera.
The steamer Palena reached port this
morning from the'south, and her captain
reports having met the Boyaca flying the
flag of the revolutionists off the Island of
Tagoguilla, about 15 miles from Panama,
Nothing Is known hero of the reported
surrender of the government General
Morales BertI to the revolutionists at
Agua Dulce. No news has been received
from this General for some time past, but
government officials express the belief
he would only succumb after o gallant
fight.
The situation. here Is serious, but there Is
nothing to show that General Herrera In
tends to attack Panama immediately, and
the statement that he Is marching toward
this city 13 discredited. It Is not true that
the revolutionary gunboat Padilla has de
manded the surrender of Panama. The
Padilla has been seen frequently off
Oloque Island.
Reinforcements for the Isthmns.
COLON, Aug. 2a Persons who have ar
rived from Cartagena say that according
to General' Velcz. the government cruiser
Cartagena will shortly leave that port for
the Isthmus, bringing 00 soldiers and
JSO.O0O In gold. The government gunboat
General Pinzon has arrived at Cartagena
from a trip to Colon. This vessel also
will bring reinforcements to the Isthmus
as soon as possible.
With the exception of the revolutionary
nrmy under General Herrera at Agua
Dulce, there Is at present no organized
Liberal army In any part of the repub
lic. All trade at Cartagena and Savanllla
and other points Is at a standstill. Im
ports and exports continue to decrease at
an alarming rate and all commerce Is
sufferings from tho continuance of the
revolution.
No ChuiiBe nt Agan Dnlcc.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The Colom
bian Legation tonight received a cable
gram from Governor Salazar, at Panama,
saying the report that the government
troop at Agua Dulce had surrendered
was entirely without foundation and that
there had been no change in the situa
tion. ,
INEFFECTIVE BLOCKADE k
Germany, France and England Pro
test to Vcncsuela.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. A cablegram
was received here last night at the De
partment of State, from Minister Bowen,
dated Caracas, yesterday. In which he
reported that the government forces had
evacuated Cumana the previous night. Ho
further stated that he had been Informed
that Germany, France and Great Britain,
through their representatives nt Caracas,
had Jointly characterized the Venezuelan
blockade as Inefficient, whereupon the
government asked for proof and suggested
that merchant vessels be sent to test the
efficiency of the blockade.
Minister Bowen has Informed the Vene
zuelan foreign office that the policy of the
United States is not to recognize a block
ado found Inefficient and to this an
nouncement no objection was made, the
Venezuelan Minister acknowledging it to
bo sound.
ASHAMED OF THE RECORD.
No Insurgent Is Very Proud of His
Record.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Senators and Congressmen with ears to
the ground are abundant Just now. Those
who were conspicuous a few weeks ago
for their opposition to reciprocity with
Cuba are hearing from their constituents.
They are learning that the Republican
voters are with the President.
The beet-sugar Senators and Congress
men assumed when they voted that the
discussion of Cuban reciprocity would end
with the adjournment of Congress. But
when the President reopened the discus
sion In his Fourth of July speech at Pitts
burgh, and there was instant response.
rrom every state, tne antl-reclproclty anti
Roosevelt Republicans felt very much as
did the hailing Unionists when Fort Sum
ter was fired on In 1151 they had to get
out of the way or be run over. And they
are trying to get out of the way.
Senator Elklns, for Instance, has Issued
a circular to say that he was never hostile
to reciprocity with Cuba, but favored reci
procity by treaty rather than by legisla
tion. Yet before Congress adjourned Mr. El
klns made no secret of his opposition to
reciprocity or of his hostility to the Presi
dent. Now he Is explaining that. If the
situation is fairly analyzed. It will be
seen that he is in harmony with the
President.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, and Sen
ator Dietrich, of Nebraska, are alqo ex

SAILORS' UNION PROTESTS
AGAIXST BRINGING CHINESE CREW
. TO' SAN FRAXCISCO.
Asiatics Are on Their Way to Man
the New Steamship Korea
May Be Turned Back.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. The steam
ship Gaelic, with 360 Chinese on board.
Is soon duo at this port. These Chinese,
It Is alleged, are being brought to San
Francisco to man the new steamship Ko
rea. The Sailors' Union recently protest
ed against this to Collector Stratton, de
claring that a violation of tho immigra
tion laws was contemplated. The matter
was referred to the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, which directed the
Collector to permit the Chinese to land.
On being Informed of this fact, tho Sail
ors' Union prepared another protest,
which has been forwarded to the Secre
tary of the Treasury, who Is asked not to
allow the Chinese In question to be trans
shipped from the Gaelic to the Korea.
Trnnsfer May Be Prohibited.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Regarding the
statement made In dispatches from San
Francisco to the effect that tho Sailors'
Union there had protested to the Treas
ury Department against the trans-shipment
to the new steamship Korea of a
Chinese crew, now on its way to San
Francisco for that purpose, the Immigra
tion officials hero are strongly inclined
to the opinion that If the allegations
mode by the Sailors' Union are substan
tiated, the transfer should not be al
lowed. A telegram, however, has been
sent to San Francisco, asking for addi
tional Information, land a decision will
not be made until an answer is received.
It appears that some weeks ago the Pa
cific Mall steamship City of Peking, en
route from China to San Francisco, wa3
disabled at sea, but finally made the port
of Kobe, Japan. The Chinese crew was
taken off and shipped to San Francisco,
where it was to meet the new Pacific
Mall steamer Korea, recently completed
at Nowport News, Va. It Is assumed
that the American crew now taking the
Korea to San Francisco was signed for
the single voyage, and that on the ship's
arrival there It will bp discharged with a
view of reshlpplng the Chinese crew from
tho City of Peking to make the return
voyage to China la the Korea.
The Immigration officials state that, as
the Chinese sailors were signed for the
round trip on the Peking, their transfer
to another vessel would necessitate their
landing at San Francisco, "where they
must bo resigned before a United States
Commissioner. This, It Is said, undoubt
edly would be a violation of the Immigra
tion laws, and If the facts are found to
be as stated by the Sailors' Union, the
application to make the transfer, without
doubt, will be denied.

EL PASO, Tex.. Aug. 20. John Graham,

mined to break up the practice of whole

Catarrh of the stomach very frequently
produces ulcers In the stomach. Ulcera
tion of the stomach Is a most difficult
disease to treat. Doctors havo always
had a great deal of trouble with this
disease. The only way to cure ulcera
tion of the stomach dependent upon
catarrh is to cure tho catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located. It cures
catarrh of the stomach, and the ulcers
disappear of themselves. Thousands of
cases of catarrhal ulceration of the stom
ach have been cured by Peruna after
everything- else has failed.

"I can conscientiously Indorse Peruna.
I suffered for live years with dyspepsia,
which Impaired my general health, and
deprived me of my usual nerve force.
I spent much money on remedies and
prescriptions- without any benefit until
I tried Peruna. Before the first bottle
was used I felt much better and after
10 weeks' treatment I was a new -woman

too highly of Peruna." Miss Alice
