Lowering black clouds pressed down on a bank of sea fog and the dense character of the snowfall com- bined to produce for nearly half an | hour so deep a darkness that lights were lit in‘'all the downtown streets and along the water front. During this period many ferry-boats and other craft lost their bearings completely and the harbor resounded with the whistles of vessels cautiously groping their way | through the gloom. The Brocklyn boat, | heading for the Manhattan side, found | herself off the Battery, several blocks jaway from her slip. Ocean steamers | bound in and out were compelléd to | stop and lie to until the darkness lifted. The ferry-boat John G. Carlisle, carry- ing immigrants from EIis Island, crasMed into the steamboat Tauras off the Battery, but both vessels escaped with slight damage. The darkness lift- ed almost as quickly as it settled down !and the snow was succeeded by clear- | ing skies, high gales and a rapidly fall- | !ing temperature, the mercury going ! down 15 degrees, from 34 to 19, within | three hours. So flerce was the gale | during the afterncon that many pedes- | trians were thrown down and in some | Instances were seriously injured. Around “Cape Flat Iron,” at Broad- | way and Twenty-third street, the wind | raged in gusts of almost cyclonic fury. | Here one man was dangerously hurs | by being struck with a fragment of a | large plate glass window, blown out of i i ‘ ! | an adjacent building. Toward evening the wind, which had | at times attained a velocity of sixty | miles an hour, died down, the mercury | | continuing to drop until at 10 o'clock | | it touched 7 degrees above zero, with llndicmiuns of still lower figures dur- !ing the night. In all about a dozen | persons were reported by the police to | | have been Injured by falls or fying | | pleces of debris during the day. The | total snowfall was only about half an inch. { —_—— | MIDDLE STATES SUFFER. | of the Maccabees, writes: ADVERTISEMENTS. THREE GENERATIONS PRAISE PE-RU-NA. The ® A Grandmother’s Letter. Hrs, 8.

Grandmother, mother, father and child all have used Peruna. It is our great remedy for catarrh of the stomach and head, colds or female complaint, of which it has cured me. We find it of great value when my husband becomes worn out or catches cold. A couple of doses cures him.

AN the doctoring we did was of no use, but Peruna has completely cured my wife. She now feels better than ever before. We shall do all we can to recommend Peruna. You are at liberty to make known the fact that Peruna has accomplished a cure where all doctors have failed. Many thanks to Dr. Hart- man. You can add one more cure to the already large number who have been cured by Peruna.”—Otto Nehring. Peruna protects the family against coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca- tarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys. { It is just as sure to cure a case of ca- tarrh of the bowels as It is a case of ca- tarrh of the head.

Grandmothers difficulty that th not overcome. Mothers write when something hap- pens in the household that baffles their skill. and about which the doctor does not seem quite clear. Even the children write to Dr. man. In our files are many curious letters from the little folks. asking advice and seeking counsel of the great discoverer of Peruna. the world's renowned author of books and pamphlets on catarrhal dis- eases. These letters are carefully answered by confidential clerks and assistant phy- sicians. Of course. there are so many of them that it would not be possible for Dr. Hartman to see them all. but when- ever such a letter comes it receives care- ful atteation, and an answer that is valuable than many visits from the doctor, or much money spent in drugs. Congressman George H. White of Tar- boro, N. C.. writes the following letter to Dr. Hartman “I am more than satisfled with Peruna. and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family and they all join me in recom- mending it as an excellent remedy George H. White. Once used in the family Peruna always stays. It is an internal. scientific. sys- temic remedy for catarrh and all ca- tarrhal diseases. “] Can Do My Own Work and Take Care of My Chiidren With Ease.” Mrs. Fannie Story. Hedrick, Ga., writes: “I feel that it is my duty to thank you for your informagion and ad- vice which you gave me in regard to my health. I have taken three bottles of Peruna and can say that I feel like a new person. It seems such a pleasure to do my own werk and take care of my chil- dPen with ease. My husband thinks it is one of the greatést medicines out. I have introduced it into a dozen homes or more since I began to take it. It is a pleas- ure to me to recommend it to any of my friends whom I hear complaining of their stomachs and a tired worn-out when they meet some e family phvsician can- Hart- feeling.
