A letter recently received by Dr. Hartman from Sister Beatrix, 410 W. 30th street,
Hew York, reads as follows:

Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
P Dear Sir:—“I cannot say too much in praise of Peruna. Eight bottles

Interesting Letters from
Catholic Institutions.
THE

WORK.
xn every country of the civilized world
the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the
spiritual and intellectual
needs of the charges com- i
to their pare, but^
they also minister to their*
bodly needs. With so
' many children to take care
of and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent sisters have found
Peruna a never-failing safeguard.
Dr. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich.,
reads as follows : & ^
Dr. S. B. HartilTan, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:—*‘TheyounggirI who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryngi-
tis, and loss of voice. The result of the
treatment was most satisfactory. She
found great relief, and after farther use
of the medicine we hope to be able to
say she is entirely cured. Sisters of
Charity.
This young girl was under the care of the
Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
froac, with good results as
the above letter testifies.
From a Catholic institution in Cen-
tral Ohio comes the following recom-
mend from the Sister Superior.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of The
Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Mme. Lillian Blauveit, Prima Oonna,
Boasts Many Decorations.
Mme. Blauveit, the American prim
donna soprano, can boast of more dec
orations and medals from royalty and
Decoration Conferred on Mme. Blau-
veit by Queen Victoria,
from ancient musical societies of the:
old world than probably any other
American singer. She has jeweled
medals from Queen Victoria and from
Queen Margherita of Italy, but the
honor that she most prizes is the dec-

TO SETTLE ALASKAN BOUNDARY,
Long-Standing Dispute to Be Decided
by a Commission.
Interest in the Alaskan boundary
controversy has been revived by the
signing of the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain by
which the entire dispute is to be sub-
mitted to arbitration by a joint com-
mission composed of three men nomi-
nated by the United States and the
same number selected by Great Bri-
tain. As vfLch country has equal rep-
, m ■
lesentation, Tit Wder to secure a de-
cision it will be necessary for one
party to win over one of the arbitra-
tors representing the other side. For
years Great Britain has been eager
to secure the submission of the dis-

(Lines Show Both the Present Boundary
and the Boundary Claimed by Canada.)
pute to a commission, but the United
States steadfastly maintained that
there was nothing to arbitrate. This
country had purchased Alaska from
Russia in 1867 with certain defined
boundaries fixed by a treaty between
Great Britain and Russia in 1825 and
refused to go back of that treaty. The
point now to be established is the
proper interpretation of that treaty.
Should the British contention be sus-
tained Canada would be given several
valuable points upon the sea coast
and the United States’ holdings from
ihe Lynn canal southward would be

AND PURITY
Ancient and Modern Ideas on the Subject,
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents
of Beauty. What Has Science Done
to Restore the Lily and the Rose?
tf&ALtes called beauty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better tliau all the letters of recom-
mendation in the world, itnd yet none
of these distinguished authorities has
left us even a hint of how beauty is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of age
and disease defied. Time soon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
age, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly flushes,
moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, aud lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition of
one afflicted with slight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those in
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part of the system until
death? It is vain to attempt to por-
tray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered a blessing.jgjtt
The blood ancl fluids seem to be im \
pregnated with a fiery element which,
when discharged through the pores
upon the surface of the body, inflames
and burns until, in his efforts for relief,
the patient tears the skin with his
nails, and not until the blood flows
does sufficient relief come to cause him
to desist.
Thus do complexional defects merge
into torturing disease, and piqued van-
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of
tetter on the palm of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly envelops the body
iu its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg
expands into a gnawing ulcer, which
reaches out its fangs to the sufferer’s
heart in every paroxysm of pain, a
small kernel in the neck multiplies into
a dozen, which eat away the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rash-like inflammations in such abun-
dance as to pass credulity; and so on
may we depict the sufferings to which
poor human nature is subject, all of
which involve great mental distress
because of personal disfigurations.
If there were not another external
dkviitsfe known, eczema alone would be
a sufficient infliction on mankind. It
pervades all classes, and descends im-
partially through generations.' While
some are constantly enveloped in it,
others have it confined to small
patches in the ears, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms of the hands,
on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its
distinctive feature is a small watery
blister, which discharges an acrid
fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and
intense itching. Ring-worm, tetter,
scalled head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly and itching order of diseases.
Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with
its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
a reddened base, which bleeds upon
the removal of the scale, is to be
dreaded and avoided, as of old. Im-
petigo, barber’s itch, erysipelas, and a
score of minor disorders make up in
part the catalogue of external diseases
of the skin. Thus far we have made
no allusion to those afflictions which
are manifestly impurities of the blood,
viz.: swelling of the glands of the
throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs,
tumors, abscesses, and mercurial
poisons, with loss of hair, because
the whole list can be comprehended in
the one word scrofula.
It is in the treatment of torturing,
disfiguring humors and affections of
the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of
hair, that the Cuticura remedies have
achieved their greatest success. Orig-
inal in composition, scientifically com-
pounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable
in any climate, alway s ready, and agree-
able to the most delicate and sensitive,
they present to young and old the most
successful curative of modern times.
This will be conside ed strong language
by those acquainted with the character
and obstinacy of blood and skin humors
but It Is justified by innumerable suc-
cesses where all the remedies and meth-
ods in vogue have failed to cure, and,
in many cases, to relieve, even.
The Cuticura treatment is at once
agreeable, speedy, economical, and
comprehensive. Bathe the affected
parts freely with hot water and Cuti-
cura soap, to cleanse the sur ace of
crusts and scales, and soften the
thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard
rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment
to allay itching, irritation, and inflamr
mation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly,
take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and
cleanse the blood. This treatment af-
fords instant relief, permits rest and
sleep iu the severest forms of eczema
aud other Itching, burning, and scaly
humors, and points to a speedy, perma-
nent, and economical cure of torturing,
disfiguring humors, eczemas, rashes,
and inflammations, from infancy to
age, when all other remedies and the
best physicians fail. The remedies con-
stituting the Cuticura system will repay
an individual scrutiny of their remark-
able properties.
Cuticura Soap contains in a modified
form the medicinal properties of Cuti-
cura Ointment, the great skin cure and
purest and sweetest of emollients, com-
bined with the most delicate and re-
freshing of flower odors. It purifies
and invigorates the pores of the skin,
and imparts activity to the oil glands
and tubes, thus furnishing an outlet
for unwholesome matter, which if re-
tained would cause pimples, black-
heads, rashes, oily, mothy skin, and
other complexional disfigurations, as
well as scalp affections and irritations;
falling hair, and baby rashes. Its gen-
tle and continuous action on thenatural
ubricators of the skin keeps th e latter
transparent, soft, flexible, and healthy.
Hence its constant use, assisted by an
occasional use of Cuticura Ointment,
realizes the fairest complexion, the
softest, whitest hands, and the most
luxuriant, glossy hair within the do-
main of the most advanced scientific
knowledge to supply.
Cuticura Ointment is the most suc-
cessful external curative for torturing,
disfiguring humors of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, in proof
of which a single anointing with it,
preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura
Soap, and followed in the severer cases
by a full dose of Cuticura Resolvent, is
sufficient to afford immediate relief in
the most distressing forms of itching,
burning, and scaly humors, permit rest
and sleep, and point to a speedy cure
when all other remedies fail. It is espe-
cially so in the treatment of infants
and children, cleansing, soothing, and
healing the most distressing of infan-
tile humors, and preserving, purifying,
and beautifying the skin, scalp, and
hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying
the simple wants of the toilet of aU
ages, in caring for the skin, scalp,
hair, and hands far more effectually,
agreeably, and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients,
while free from every ingredient of a
doubtful or dangerous character. It#
“ One Night Treatment of the Hands,”
or “ Single Treatment of the Hair,” or
use after athletics, cycling, golf, ten-
nis, riding, sparring, or any, sport, each
in connection with the use of Cuticura
Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.
Of all remedies for the purification
of the blood and circulating fluids, none
approaches in specific medical action
Cuticura Resolvent. It neutralizes and
resolves away (hence its name) scrofu-
lous, inherited, and other humors in
the blood, which give rise to swellings
of the glands, pains in the bones, and
torturing, disfiguring eruptions of the
skin and scalp, with loss of hair. j
Cuticura Resolvent extends its puri-
fying influence by means of the pore#
to the surface of the skiD, allaying
irritation, inflammation, itching, ana
burning, and soothing and healing.
Hence its success in the treatment of
distressing humors of the skin, scalp,
and blood, with loss of hair, which fail
to be permanently cured by external
remedies alone.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered Cuticura remedies is their
world-wide sale, due to the personal
recommendations of those who have
used them. It is difficult to realize the
mighty growth of the business done
under this name. From a small begin-
ning in the simplest form, against prej-
udice and opposition, against monied
hosts, countless rivals, and trade in-
difference, Cuticura remedies have be-
come the greatest curatives of their
time, and, in fact, of all time, for no-
where in the history of medicine Is
to be found another appi’oaching them
in popularity and sale. In every clime
and with every people they have met
with the same reception. The confines
of the earth are the only limits to their
growth. They have conquered the
world.
To the test of popular judgment all
things mundane must finally come.
The civilized world has rendered its
verdict in favor of Cuticura.
