First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro , Ga. , nnd Its Pastor and Elder ,
The day was when men of promi
nence hesitated to give their testimoni
als to proprietary medicines for publi
cation. This remains true today of
most proprietary medicines. But Pe-
runa has become so Justly famous , its
merits arc known to so many people of
high and low stations , that no one
hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Pcruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the
Presbyterian church In the person of
Rev. E. O. Smith does not hesitate testate
state publicly that ho has used Peruna
in his family and found It cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rov. Smith Is supported by
an elder in his church.
Rov. E. G. Smith , pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Greensboro , Ga. ,
writes :
"Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
Bovcn years of age had been suffering
for some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed , but

after taking two bottles of Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared.
For this special malady I consider It
well nigh a specific. As a tonic for
weak and worn ouUpeople It has few erne
no equals. " Rev. E. G. Smith.
Mr. M. J. Rossman.a prominent mer
chant of Greensboro , Ga. , and an older
in the Presbyterian church of that
place , has used Peruna.and in a recent
letter to The Poruna Medicine Co. . of
Columbus , Ohio , writes as follows :
"For a long time I was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried
many remedies , nil of which gave mo
no relief. Peruna was recommended to
me by several friends , and after using
a few bottles I am pleased to say that
the long looked for relief was found
and I am now enjoying better health
than I have for years , and can heartily
recommend Peruna to all similarly af
flicted. It is certainly a grand medi
cine. " M. J. Rossman.

United States Will Not Press Proposition

WASHINGTON , Dec. 11. The prop
osition submitted by tbo president to
transfer the negotiation of tlio ques
tions of Inilomnlty mitl revision of
rommorclnl treaties to some other
plnco than PeUln wna designed to fa-
c-nitate the conclusion of the Chinese
negotiations as a whole by separating
these still rotiulrlng considerable de
liberation from these already deter
mined. As some of the powers do not
look with favor upon the separation
and others hesitate to decide the
question , the president has doomed It
advisable to direct the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the United States to
cease to press the proposition.
At the same time , desiring above all
else to avoid delay In the progress of
the negotiations , the president has di
rected Mr. Conger to urge forward
their completion at Pekln. The other
governments have also been urgently
requested to avoid all unnecessary delay -
lay In completing the settlement of the
Chinese question.
The foregoing gives in authoritative
form the Important action determined
upon and carried out today. As spe
cifically stated , the action was brought
about because KOIDO of the powers did
not look with favor upon the proposal ,
while others hold back In giving their
decision. < Under theo circumstances
It was manifest to the olllclals hero
that unity of action was Impossible ,
nnd as long a'a even ono power de
clined to accept the proposition , there
could be no effective agreement for re
moving these two subjects of negotia
tion frum Pokin. It Is understood
that the action just taken does not In
volve the slightest feeling of disfavor
toward those powers which viewed the
matter unfavorably or hold back In
giving their decision. Doth the presi
dent and Secretary Hay acted on the
suggestion of Mr. Conger In the hope
that this might offer a means of'breaU-
Ing the apparent deadlock at Pokin
and open the wuy to a final adjust
ment. Now that this phase of the ne
gotiation Is closed , the ollldalB huro
feel that It would be ungracious to
disclose met what powers did not look
with favor upon their plan and they
decline to confirm the current spec
ulation to the effect that considerable
of the opposition has come from Her-
lln. The instructions to Mr. Conger
to urge forward the completion of the
negotiations at Pekln wore forwarded
late in the day. Mr. Conger was not
heard from during the day.
PARIS , Jan. 11. The correspondent
of the Associated Press learns on good
authority that the suggestion of the
government of the United States to
change the scat of the Chinese nego
tiations from Pokin to Washington
will bo declined by the powers.
It was added that this point was In
significant as compared witri the dltll-
cultles to bet mot with between the
powers themselves , whose clashing , in
terests will have full play In the com
ing discussions. The United States'
proposal to shift the seat of the nego
tiations finds no favor In the European -
poan chancellories.
