Chronic Ulcers and Catarrh.

Mrs. Christian Zelle, aged sixty-three
years, of Carondelet, St. Louis, Missouri,
had a chronic ulcer on her leg which had
been running for forty-three years. To
use her own language, she had "tried all
the doctors" but without perceptible ben
eft. Two of the most noted of this city
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with An
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to a distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March II, this
year, she commenced using DR.. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to-day the leg n
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty three years.
Miss Alice Brady, Of East st. Louis,
Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalrnia
for five years. On April II she began
treatment under DR.. Hartman. For \
year before she was patient of two OF
the best known oculists of this city, but
they signally failed to help her. After
one month under DR.. Hartman and his
PERUNA, her eyes have almost entirely
healed, and, according to her own state
ment, he has done more for her in this
short space Of time than the oculists did
in the previous whole year. PERUNA,
of course, did it.
Miss Annie Baker, First Avenue, Mil
waukee, writes: II take great pleasure
in recommending PERUNA. For years l
have suffered from Asthma. was in
duced to try PERUNA. 1t promptly
relieved the paroxysms, and its continued
use renders their recurrence less and less
frequent. / am confident it will cure me
completely"
Walker Brothers, druggists, Batavia, o.,
write: CDR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus,
O., Dear Sir: Some two weeks ago had
very peculiar case, and after few ques-
tions were answered, came to the con-
clusion it was catarrh of the stomach

The patient had consulted every ply
sician far and near. persuaded her to
try your PERUNA and MANALIN. She
had been having spasms every three or
four days, and the fifth dose kept them
of, and they have not returned since"
w. M. Griffith, Ashland, KY, writes:
1.-THE large chronic ulcers OF hfteen
months standing, are entirely healed:
The swelling, pain and itching have all
subsided, the leg is healed, and l am per-
fectly well. PERUNA is wonderful rem

Our Republican friends manifest much
pleasure at the dissatisfaction which some
Democrats show in consequence of the
presidents apparent intention to make
haste slowly in the matter Of appointments

opponents in distress, and they also like
to see their own people in office as long as
possible. The most stringent enforcement
OF civil service reform is delightful to our
political opponents-proyided it is pacti-
cally applied by a Democratic administn-

Tho Thames Embankmont on Fire.

uLonuon Oor. Chcago irlbunc.I
The man who set the Thames on Gre Is, by
English proverb, considered the cleverest
fellow OF his timo; but Of late days some
hero-name unknown-if he has not quite
succeeded in this supposed impossible task
has at all events set the Thames bank In a
smolder which 1t has necessitated the sum
moning OF the engineer corps TO entinguish.
For some years the accumulated rubbish
from the arsenal-truck loads of ashes, Stag,
c~otton-waste, and such like-has been
dumped down at tho rivers edge to make an
embankment against the ~encroaching tide.
By some means the iniammable matter in
this heterogeneous pile caught fire and has
been burning in n quiet, spbterranean way
for the last month; and, IN ordinary means
having failed to e~xtinguish 1t, the royal en-
gineers have solved tho difficulty in true
Gordian-knot style by cutting tho embank-
ment IN two by a broad trench, thus pre-
venting the progress Of the smolder, which
was approaching dangerously near the
powder magazines.
