SALEM, OREGON 1 TlTZii kittle Lfeorc in patpiotim Pemna is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh rem edy are pouring in from every state in the Union. Dr. Ilartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the. highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti san, the clerk, the editor, the states man, the preacher all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. Hie stace and rostrum, recogniz ing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthuisastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who w ishes perfect heal'h must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarih is well nigh universal. Ptru na is the best safeguard known. A Letter From the Ex-Governor of Oregon. The ex-governor of Oregon is an ar dent admirer of Peurna. He keeps it continually in the house. In a letter to Dr. Ilartman, he says: State of Oregon, Execmtive Department, Charles Ewlng was the youngest son of Thomas Ewlng, the distin guished whig statesman.

That the remedy Is sometimes worse than the disease Is again shown by an Incident chronicled In the New York Times. A prominent politician has a wife who Is a model of domestic care fulness. She has a talent for making bread, and takes great pride In having her loaves turn out well. One evening she had set the batch of dough to rise in the kitchen and was reading In the parlor, when her (i-year-old boy came running to her, crying, "Mamma, mamma, there's a mouje jumped into your bread-pan!" The fcood woman sprung from her peat. "Did you take him out?" she asked, frantically. "No'm, but I done just as good. I threw the cat In, and she's digging after him to beat the band!"

According to Instructions A Riitish otlicer, in his expense list on government service, put down: "Porter, twopence." The ollicer was requested to re port to the war otlice and receive the following explanation: "While executing public duty re freshments are not chargeable to the nation." VThe Item does not represent re freshments," replied the officer, "but a fee to a carrier." "You should have said porterage," was then explained to him. When the otlicer had occasion to take a hansom, remembering Instructions, he wrote In his account: "Cabbage, 2 shillings."

The color-bearer fell mortally wounded; then a second was shot down; then a third fell in the advance. Amid a rain of bullets that descended upon every side of him Ewlng seized the flag, and, rushing forward in front of his men, planted it upon the para pet, lie was shot through the hand and the hat, and the flagstaff was shattered in his grasp. Over half his command was lost in the terrible de struction. Hut his courageous exam ple Inspired a second attack. It was in this second attack that Ewlng saved the life of General Grant, who was riding straight into certain death, by seizing the bridle rein of Grant's horse and backing him down an embankment out of the deadly fire.

Last year 1,925 persons were arrested for beg ging In the streets, of whom more than 1,500 were sentenced to terms of im prisonment varying from one week to three months. Many of these objects of charity were found in possession of sums of money and even bank books 6howing very handsome deposits.

When it is hoisted by an army, the order lias gone forth that "no quarter" will be given, ev erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering ami death is left behind. Contagious Blood Toison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the) circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the fir.st sign of the disease is a little sore or nicer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst Btagcs the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc f Jrs Soveral Tears aco I had blood rotson and my lleah was in an awful condition.

ADAtI SCHNABEL, ' Evansville, Ind. No. 211 Mary St. Ing insanity and death. Nut only those w ho contract the poison sutler, but unless the virus is driven from the blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its Innocent victims. Blood Poison is in deed a "black flag." Mercury and Totash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, end when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment hot only fails to cure blood poison but eats out the delicate lining of the Stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre qucntly causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S.S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up anything but clears the entire circulation of the vims and puts the system in good healthy condition. It cures safely as well as certainly, because there is not a particle of mineral in it. We offer a re ward of $ i.ooo.oo for proof that S. S. S. is not purely vegetable. When the blood is purified and strengthened with thij great remedy the symptoms all pass away and no sign of the disease is ever Been again ; nor is there left the least trace to be handed down to posterity.
