CATARRH THIRTY YEARS.

i t-Jfc-VgEg==: 11 • ' I M 7 CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON OF OHIO. Ron. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State, but through out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms a Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Batik of Napoleon, Ohio, lie was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach andt enacious grasp, was bis only unconquered For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: “/ have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited ; thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if , / use It a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of • thirty years’ standing.”—David Meekison, Member of Congress.

THE season of catching cold is upon us. ’The cough and the sneeze and the nasal twang are to be heard on • very hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases! is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts ,in the' head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cohl very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head, nnd sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the ▼cry beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used, never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

While many people have been cured ■ of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of ! Peruna, yet, as a rule, whA the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer--1 able of catarrh of twenty years’ stand- ! ing. It is the best. If not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. , Every person subject to catching cold I should take Peruna at oucg at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

CONGRESS

The day in the Senate Friday was set apart to pay tribute to the memory of Mr. McMillan. At the conclusion of the routine business Mr. Burrows (Midi’. I called up the resolutions relative to b's late colleague and paid an earnest tribute to his memory. Then the following Senators spoke: Allison (Iowa), Cockrell (Mo.), Morgan (Ala.), Platt (Conn.i, Hale (Maine), Foster (La.), Aldrich (R. I.), Warren (Wyo.), Galliriger (X. 11-), Lodge, (Mass.), Perkins (Cal.), Tillman (S. C.), Bacon (Ga.), Fairbanks (Ind.), Depew (N. Y.l, and Alger (Mich.). In the absence of Speaker Henderson Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) presided in the House. The report of the memorial of the national Red Cross Society, sent to Congress Thursday, was ordered printed as an executive document. The House then proceeded to the consideration of private claims bills. A large number were passed in committee of the whole. The greater part of the time of the Senate Saturday was devoted To exercises in connection with the acceptance from the State of Maryland of statues of Charles Carroll and John Hanson, which will henceforth stand in Statuary Hall at the national capital. A number of bills were passed, including the House bill providing for the creation of a general staff of the army. The statehood bill was not considered, but it holds its place on the calendar. A House bill was passed appropriating $3,850 for the improvement and care of “Confederate Mound,” in Oakwoods Cemetery, Chicago. After three hours of general debate upon the postofliee appropriation bill, which was made notable by a speech in favor of tariff reform by Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, who is a candidate for the Democratic leadership of the next House, the House suspended public business and listened to three addresses by Mr. Pearre of Maryland, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Schirm of Maryland, on the life and public services of Charles Carroll 'of Carrollton and John Hanson, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, whose statues have been erected by the State of Maryland in Statuary Hall. Resolutions also were adopted formally accepting the statues on behalf of the government. Memorial session for the late Sena tor James McMillan, of Michigan, was held by the House on Sunday; The Senate on Monday had the army appropriation bill under consideration. It was about to be passed when Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, requested that it go over to permit some amendments to be offered. The statehood bill was up for a short time, and Messrs. Bard and Quarles spoke in opposition to it. Tiie ‘House passed about forty bills under suspension of the rules. The most important of them was a bill to authorize n resumption of the negotiations with Great Britain for the preservation of the Alaskan fur seals and to give the Secretary of the Treasury authority, if a modus vivendi is not concluded prior to the opening of the pelagic sealing season this year, to exterminate the seal herd on the Pribylov Islands, except 10,000 females and 1.000 males. The Senate bill appropriating $1,500,000 for a new Department of Agriculture building was passed. On Tuesday the Senate passed without objection or discussion the Elkins bill to furtheiL regu|pte railroad transportation. The bill, which went over at the request of Mr. Pettus, was passed. The provision establishing a general staff was eliminated. Later, the independent measure, identical in its provisions with the general staff section of the army bill, was passed, after having been reconsidered to permit the incorporation of an amendment by Mr. Beriy, placing the chief of staff exclusively under the direction of the President. Mr. Quarles continued his remarks in opposition to the statehood bill. He spok-r for two hour* and a Half without concluding. The House spent practically the whole day on claims bills coining over from the previous week. Mr. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, fought them all, but succeeded in defeating only three bills. After the claims measures were disposed of, general debate on the postofliee appropriation bill was resumed, and Sir. Robb (Mo.) addressed the House on the trust question. In the Senate Wednesday Mr. Hale presented the report of the conferees on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, which was agreed to. Toward the end of the session there was a lively passage of words between Mr. Gallinger and Mr. Beveridge. The former declared Mr. Beveridge and his followers on the statehood bill were prolonging the debate in pursuance of a “deliberate meditated system of obstruction.” The general staff bill was reconsidered and passed with an amendment putting the chief of staff under the direction of the President, “and the Secretary of War under the direction of the President.” The Senate concurred in the amendment of the House providing for a new Department of Agriculture building nnd fixing the cost nt $1.500,000. This passed the bill. The general debate on the postofliee appropriation bi» was enlivened by an interesting discussion of the tariff question. It was participated in by Mr. Sibley (Rep.. Pa.). Mr. Williams (Dem., Miss.), nnd Mr. Griggs (Dem., Ga.). The consideration of the posto'ficc bill in committee of the whole w im completed, but it was not passed.

Hard to attend to daily duties with a back that aches like the toothache. A wo m a n’s kidneys give her constant trouble. Backache Is the first warning of alck kidneys and should never be neglected. Urinary disorders annoy, embarrass and worry womankind. Dangerous diabetes, dropsy and 1 Bright’s disease are 4 sure to follow If the kidneys are neglected.

Read how to cure the kidneys and keep them well. Mrs. James Beck of 814 West Whitesboro street, Rome, N. Y.,*says: “I was troubled with my kidneys for eight or nine years; had much pain in toy back; as time went on I could hardly endure it; I could not stand except for a few moments at a time; 1 grew weak and exhausted; I could not even do light housework, let alone washing and Ironing; I could not stoop or bend; my bead ached severely; I was in pain from my head down to my heels; centering In the kidneys it was a heavy, steady, sickening ache; I could not rest nights, and got up mornings weak and tired. I thought I was about done for, when I saw Doan’s’Kidney Pills advertised for kidney complaints, and got them at Broughton & Graves’ drug ■tore. Within a week after commencing their use I began to Improve, and from that time on rapidly grew better. I used five boxes In all and was cured. I have recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills to many others, and my case ought to convince the most skeptical ■ufferer to give them a fair trial.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. James Beck will be mailed on application to any part of tho United States.
