Health Before Wealth.

Nine out of ten ailments first show themselves in constipation. Nature’s warning, if left unheeded, means serious chronic trouble later on. Medical statistics show that a greater number of people suffer from cote tipation than from all other diseases combined. A great ■ talk is’ inode about consumption, but if the truth were known, constipation kills mdre people thnir consumption. WitluJi | the last few years a medicine has been" - discovered and made known to the American people, of such merit in curing constipation and its consequences that now .over ten million boxes of CASCARETS are sold every year, the greatest sale ever attained by any one medicine in the world, and this is the strongest proof that it is the best and will do all and more than claimed. If you are a sufferer you are not doing -right by yourself or your family if you fail to give CASCARETS a trial, and right here we want to warn you to get the genuine, because all great successes, breed imitations. The genuine tablet is put up in metal boxes and has the word CASCARETS with the long-tailed “C” on the cover. Every Caecaret tablet is stamped C. C. C.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:- I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the uco of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I Buffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles,but it built no up andcured me entirely of my troubles. “My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and otrong, and her home to her great joy and her husband’s delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women.” Mrs. Elizabeth H.

COMMEPCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

~~ R. G. Dun & Co.’b ClliCdQO. Weekly Review of Chicago a trade says: Steadily increasing demands for sea-' sonable merchandise and furnace products have given added strength to general business. A slight falling off in railroad traffic is due to difficulty in getting sufficient cars at the points where most needed and does not affect net earnings. Speculation in leading foodstuffs and upward forcing of prices lessened cash trades and caused a sharp shrinkage iu shipments. Wholesale trade shows steady advance, both in house dealings for current needs and country merchant selections for spring delivery. Most branches of dry goods, footwear and clothing report sales reaching a good average. Less backwardness appears in the buying of high priced lines. There is improving tendency in woolens, cloaks and suits, and fair volume characterizes groceries, canned goods and paints. Mercantile collections are easier on loca. bills and good for the interior. The outlook for new building work has become more encouraging and prices of materials are firming. Grain shipments, 2,294,117 bushels, are 13 per cent under the total of the corresponding week of 1903. Sales of flour made a fair average, with good profits to millers, but while the principal grains have risen in value, the actual dealings show a restricted aggregate. Provisions have been liberally taken and continued, the recently noted upturn advances being in lard 32% cents, pork 22% cents and in ribs 12% cents. stock receipts, 363,901 head, are 5 per cent under a year ago. Bank clearings, $177,698,695. fall fully one-half of 1 per cent under the corresponding week of 1903. Failures in the Chicago district number 37, against 35 a year ago.

” “—"— Weather conditions have Nei York, furnished the chief influences in the general trade situation. To some extent traffic has been hindered, especially at the East, - but the latest returns of railway earnings for January show an increase of 3.9 per cent over 1903. Consumption of fuel was increased, and retail trade in coal greatly expanded, but no commensurate gain at first hands is reported, owing to the large supplies held by dealers. Retail distribution of footwear and heavy wearing apparel felt the stimulus, j and anniial clearance sales removed accumulations of dry goods, millinery, etcah to quotations, there is nominally no alteration. In so far as this new* 1 business keeps mills active the situationot has improved. Scrap iron and steel con-< tinue firm, and old rails are the strongest feature. o( Of scarcely less interest than the normal price of raw cotton is the situation as to the size of stocks of inanufac-il tured goods. Much depends on the of purchasing, thus far a limited amount of new business being offered.- The rdf seems to be no uncertainty regarding the scarcity in first hands, for there is delay in the few contracts tendered. Prin' cloths again advanced, but otherwise for mer quotations prevail. More new lines of woolens were opened at concessions' nnd simultaneously the London auctior sale produced slightly higher quotations, for raw wool, and the situation in this', branch of textile fabrics is becoming as complicated as the cotton industry. Increased activity and strength is re-0 ported in the domestic hide market. ~ Failures this week numbered 358 in the United States, against 2G5 last year, and 33 in Canada, compared witli 27 a year ago. .

CATCHING COLD Isthe Beginning of Most Winter Ailments— Pe-ru-na Protects Against and Cures Colds. There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now, if this is true (and there is no doubt of it), thousands at lives would he saved, and tens of thousands of cases of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple precaution Within reach of every one. After a cold has been contracted a teaspoonful ot Penina every hour will shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has become estab* lished, or the first stages of chronic bronchitis or consumption have been reached, it will take much longer to effect a cure. It seems strange that as well known and well established as these facts ure any one should neglect to profiPby them, and yet no doubt there are many who
