When nllht came they were to lie In beds whose sott embrace malws l , sleep a luxury-nnd In the day tlmo the velvet cushions oC their scats were to be made deeper stili by plllows- and ther wore to spend a delightful part oC their time In the gilded and gllttoring dining car , where every " dainty that , ever tlcltled the palate Is t enticingly served-In short , they were . to have on the trip all the comforts of ; ! home-and of the best kind of home , > !

SCflLEY.-wnsnlngton , D. c. , AD\lIRAL SCHLEY , one of the foremost notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard , A man of steady nerve , clear head , undaunted courage and prompt decision , Approached by a friena recently , his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna , the national catarrh remedy , 'VVithout the slightest - est hesitation he gave this remedy his ender - ' dor ement , It appeared on , later conversation - tion that Peruqa has been used in his family , where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has UpOtl the minds of the American people , It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to PeIl1J1a than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Peruna has cvercome all opposition and has won its way to the heat:1a : of the people , The natural timidity whi h so many people have felt about giving endorsements - dorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others h s inspired thousands of people to give publ c ' testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would' not have consented to such publicity. N ever before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and intemational reputation have been willing - ing to give unqualified and public ender e- ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result , Peruna has won on its own merits , Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements - dorsements , Address The Peruna Drug I\1'fg Co" .Co- lumbus , Ohio , for free literature on catarrh. sl ( Your Druggist for free Pe = ru = na , Alf1anac for 1904. .
