Is Peruna Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Per runa be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, ne would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years’ experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN EE NO ‘DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the homo the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not l3ast,brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent Many thousand people know they have* chronio catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble Js the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to. -prescribe for them. •■ —- BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman’s idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scaler as he is makingit; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and oi the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more he charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

A Powerful Indorsement.

Many years ago there was considerable illness in Harrisburg, which was attributed to the waters of the Susquehanna river, then the source of the city supply. One of the members of the legislature for that year, upon his return to his constituents, was Inter-, viewed concerning the plague. He soon settled the question. “Upon my soul, gentlemen,” he declared, “the report of the foulness of the water was a elan dor on the city of Ha rrisburg. I absolutely know the water to be perfectly healthful, for during the session I drank the water on two different occasions, and I never experienced any 111 effect whatever.” —Pittsburg Press.

Choice of Terms.

“Is Mr. Bliggins a good golf player?” “No,” answered Miss Cheyenne, “I happtned to be suffieiently near to hear his language when he made a bad, stroke. He may be an expert player, but he is not a good one.” —Washington Star. In the town of Tollesbury, England, a ' place of 2,000 inhabitants, there is only one physician and there is no druggist or dentist within nine miles. J

100 SINK WITH SHIP.

TWO STEAMERS COLLIDE OFF - CALIFORNIA COAST. r*—- 7~: ", ~ -~ v: ' -* Large Veaael Bound (or Portland, Oregon, with More than 200 Per■ona on Board, Sent te the Bottom br Lumber Carrier. ' Probably one hundred persona were drowned and scores of others were rescued after clinging for hours to ing wreckage as the result of a terrible sea collision, word of which was received In San Francisco Monday morning. The ships were the passenger steamer Columbia, north bound from San Francisco to. Portland, and the small lumber steamer San Pedro southward bound and heavily laden. The disaster occurred early Sunday morning off Shelter Cove, Mendocino County, and from the meager reports which have oome It is certain that more than half the Columbia’s 210 passengers and crew went down with the ship in the fog and darkness. Carried About 150 Paaaenffera. The Columbia left San Francisco on Saturday evening, carrying IS9 passengers and a crew of about thirty under the command of Captain P A. Doran. Soon after dark a heavy fog came on ind the .steamer was feeling her way along the coast The sea was calm and the majority of the passengers were in their berths when Shelter Cove was passed. Captain Doran was on the bridge when a few minutes later and just after midnight the black bulk of the San Pedro loomed up almost dead ahead. The Columbia at once reversed Its engines and Captain Doran put the helm hard aport, but it was too late to prevent collision. Wth scarcely diminished speed the San Pedro, laden with lumber, crashed Into the port bow of the passenger •hip with a force that cut the Iron stSamer to the water line. Many of the passengers must have been stunned or killed In their berths, for of the blow was terrific and both ships reeled apart as if they bad struck solid rock.

Lifeboats Had Been Shattered. Half clad and frenzied by fear, men and women rushed from the staterooms to the deck of the Columbia, which was settling rapidly by the bows. An efTort was made to launch the lifeboats, Captain Doran standing calmly on the shattered bridge of his boat and shouting his orders through a megaphone. Several of the boats bad been Shattered In the collision, and so quickly did the Columbia go down that there was no time to launch the others. Survivors say that all the officers of the Columbia did their duty bravely and tried to save the women children, but that they were powerless. Many Leap Into Ocean. Feeling the steamer sinking beneath their feet, many of the men among the Columbia’s passengers and crew leaped Into the sea and swam to the San Pedro, which could be made out drifting away tbrough the fog. They alone, It seems, were saved. One lifeboat was launched, but It was swamped the moment It reached the water by the rush of frenzied men and women. All who were In it are believed to have perished, drawn down by the suction of the steamer when she went down with a final rush, her decks still dotted with screaming men and women. Captain Goes Down with Ship. At the last moment the stern of the Columbia rose high above the water, and many of the unfortunates slid the length of the deck as the steamer shot beneath the waves, with Captain Doran clinging to the bridge and making no attempt to save his own life. The San Pedro, a wooden boat, was severely damaged by the collision, but was kept afloat by her cargo. Finding their steamer was safe for the time, the crew turned to the task of "rescuing the Columbia’s passengers, and about eighty who had swum tt> the sides of the freighter were drawn on board. Boats were launched, and a number of others who had. clung to wreckage were found and taken on board. Survivors among the passengers of the Columbia say that the San Pedro was not seen until she burst through the fog curtain less thau a hundred feet away and headed straight for the passenger steamer. Why the fog horns were not heard Is not made clear. Sighted by Another Veuel. The San Pedro drifted around helplessly for two hours before the fog lifted and the water-logged ship was made out by the steamer George W. Elder, which threw her a lino and towed her to Eureka. The steamer Roanoke soon came up and took ofT the passengers, many of whom were clad only In their night garments and were suffering severely from exposure. They were taken to Eureka. Many of the drowned were residents of San Francisco. Others lived at Portland, the Columbia’s destination, and other towns along the north coast The Columbia was an Iron-screw steamer of 2,272 tons register. She was built In 1880 by J. Rocta & Son, of Chester, Pa., and was owned by the Son Francisco and Portland Steamship Company. She was 308 feet long, 38 feet beam and 23 feet draught The San Pedro was a wooden screw steamer of 455 tons register, built In ,1880 at Aberdeen, Wash. She was 163 feet long, 84 feet beam and 11.2 feet draught

To Disobey Hague Conference.

Tl»» Croked Son.

William Knoepfel, of St Louis, has Invented and hopes to patent a secret plowing method for the cure of baldness. “A genuine cure for baldness,” said Mr. Knoepfel the .other day, “should make a man very rich. Why, men grow rich on fake cures. It is amazing, It really is, what fakes some of these cures are. Yet there's money In them.” , Mr. Knoepfel gave a loud, scornful ktugh. “In their profitable crookedness they remind me,” he said, “of the third son of the old eccentric. Perhaps you have heard the story? Well, an old aocentrlc died, and left his fortune equally to his three sons. But the will contained a strange proviso. Bach heir was to place SIOO in the coffin Immediately before the Interment “A few days after the Interment the three young men met and discussed the queer proviso and its execution. ‘“Well,” said the oldest son, *my conscience is clear. I put my hundred In the coffin In clean new notes.’ “ ‘My conscience is clear, too,’ said the second son. ‘I put in my hundred in gold.’ ‘“I, too, have nothing to reproach myself with,’ said the third son. ‘I had no cash at the time, though; so I wrote out a check for S3OO in poor dear father’s name, placed it in the coffin and took in change the S2OO In currency that I found there.”

Finance.

The agreeable visitor, says Judge, smiled upon the son of the house and said: - V I" “Willie, if you recite that poem your mother taught you, I’ll give you a penny.” ; “Not likely! I can get a nickel anywhere for not reciting. It,” Wiille replied.

An examination of this list of Ingredients will disclose the fact that it is non-alcoholic in its composition, chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine taking the place of the commonly used alcohoh In its make-up.

How to Exercise the Bowels

Your Intestines are lined Inside with millions of little suckers, that draw the Nutrition out of food aslt passes them. But, If the food passes too slowly, It decays before it gets through. Then the little suckers draw Poison from it instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a Gas that Injures your system more than the food should have nourished It. You see, the food Is Nourishment or Poison, just according to how long it stays

take a big dose of Castor Oil. This merely makes slippery the passage for unloading the current cargo It does net help the Cause of delay a trifle. It does slacken the Bowel-Musclesmore than ever, and thus weakens them for their next task. Another remedy ts to take a strong Cathartic, like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phospate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the Cathartic do? It mere flushes-out the Bowels with a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing Into the Intestines through the tiny suckers. * * * But, the Digestive Juice we waste In dqtngihis today is needed for tomorrow’s natural Digestion. We cannot afford to loie it. That’s why Cascarets are the only sate medicine for the bowels.

Music and Method.

The 9ane, healthy way to study the piano is to apply one’s thought directly to the work laid out methodically by the teacher for a certain length of time every day. That length of time depends entirely upon the future that the student may decide upon. If he or she takes up music as a profession, four hours daily should be given to study; if as an amateur, two hours are enough. In both cases the division of time devoted to practice should be not less than one hour.—l. J. Paderewski in Strand Magazine.

TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA.

Cutlcarn Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sluter Took Cutleura Pills. “I must much praise to all the Outlcura Remedies I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cutleura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cutleura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the bead by using the Cutleura Remedies. Another slater has used Cutlcnra Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. ».
