or more the Equitable Life, had sent
$10,000 in money to Senator Piatt for
use in republican state campaigns. ,.

paigns. '

with President McCall, of the New

tions, and was quite sure the New
York Life contributed to the republi
can state campaigns. President Mc
Call has testified that the New York
Life never made state campaign con
tributions. Under Obligation
Fifth Senator Piatt admitted that
the contributions placed the men elect
ed to the legislature under a moral
obligation not to attack the insurance
companies."

.friend" of Senator Depew was Wil
liam S. Manning, formerly a life in
surance actuary, who was in a posi
tion to make trouble for the Equitable
Life and other companies and was
paid from $450 to $650 yearly through
John A. Nichols by the Equitable, New
York and Mutual Life "to keep him
quiet.
Seventh That for twenty-three
years the Equitable Life has employed
Thomas Comans, an old-time Tam
many politician; one of his duties was
to have the personal tax assessment
of the Equitable officers reduced.
Says Apgar Lied
Eighth That the mysterious card
pinned to a voucher representing a
payment to Thomas D. Husted of
$1,000 was that of Assemblyman James
K. Apgar, of Peekskill, who testified
that he never received the $1,000 and
did not know how his card came to be
attached to the voucher.

LIKE A DEMON grip has crossed
our country, leaving behind scores
of physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh
of the throat, catarrh of the lungs,
catarrhTof the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds of thou
sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the
seed of chronic catarrh within the
system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Perana.
Never in the history of medicine has
a remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results trom the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Uartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

Cured of Obstinate La Grippe.
Henry Distin, the inventor and maker
of band instruments for the Henry
Distin Mfg. Co., at Willlamsport, Pa., is
probably the most active old man in
Philadelphia to-day. He writes from
1441 S. 9th street, Philadelphia, Pa. :
"I write to inform you that I had a
bad attack of la grippe -last December
which lasted more than three months,
and which left me with catarrh, and
several of my friends advised me to try
your wonderful medieme, Peruna.
'I began with a bottle tho first week
in March and it certainly did me a great
deal of good.
"I was so well satisfied that I
purchased another bottle, and followed
your directions which you furnish with
every bottle, and I am glad to say that
it has cured me. I shall certainly rec
ommend the Peruna to all my friends."
Henry Distin.
