A young people, a people of Jcomposne stock, we have kinshif with | many different nations, but we are identical with none of them, and are . developing a separate national stock as we have already developed a sepa- Tate national life. We have in our veins the blood of the Englishman, the i“’elshman and the Irishmay, the Ger- man and the Frenchman, the Scotch- man, the Dutchman, the Scandinavian, the Italian, the Magyar, the Finn, the Slav, so that to each of the great pow- ers of the Old World we can claim a more or less distant kinship by blood; and to each strain of blood we owe | some peculiar quality in our national | life or natlonal character. ‘As such is | the case it is natural that we should have a peculiar feeling of nearness to each of many peoples across the wa- ter. We most earnestly wish not only to keep unbroken out friendship for each, but so as we can without giving offense by an appearance of meddling, to seek to bring about a better under- standing and a broader spirit of fair- dealing and toleration among all na- tions. It has been my ggeat pleasure, Mr. Embassador, in pursuance of this object, recently to take with you the { first steps in the negotiation of a treaty of friendly arbitration between Ger- many and the United States. “In closing, let me thank you, and through you the German Emperor and the German peobvle, for this statue, which I accept in the name 6f the American people; a people claiming blood kinship with your own; a people owing much to German; a people which, though with a national history far shorter than that of your people, nevertheless, like your people, is proud of the great deeds of its past, and is confident in the majesty of its future. | T most earnestly pray that in the com- | Ing years these two great nations shall move on toward their several destinles knit together by ties of the heartiest friendship and good wlill i { 1 Herman A.

This undesirable condftion continued, despite the best of treatment. “Finally, a brother newspaper man, who like myself had served in the war, induced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna. I did so. “In a short time the lassitude left me, my kidneys resumed a healthy condition, and a complete cure was effected.

Now she can eat any- thing. “We keep Peruna in the house all the time, but it is only once in a while that she needs to use it. I was subject to liver and kidney trouble, which resulted in rheumatic pains, but I have not had a pain since I took Peruna, and very little liver trouble, as Peruna keeps the diges- tive organs In good working order. and that is the main thing."—George Forres- ter. Catarrh of the Kidneys a Commeon Disease. Catarrh of the kidneys is very com- mon indeed. It is a pity this fact is not better known to the physicians as well as to the people. People have kidney disease. They take some diuretic, hoping to get better. They never once think of catarrh. Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom associated in the minds of the people. and alas, it is not very often associatea | in the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recognize catarrh of the kid- neys. Peruna is not simply a palliative to re- lieve seme of the most distressing symp- toms. It is a permanent and radical cure.
