you will pardon my saying it, the re-

fire clay, arched over with thick wall OF

boxed full of holes. This is toilet the gases
from the consuming body escape into the
flames which play around the oven. Coke
is used as the firing material, and an IN
tense heat is produced. The body Is not
burned, in the ordinary sense. 1t is what
the president of the company calls '1n-e
cineratei by dry distillation" The flesh
and soft parts are converted by the terrific
heat into gases and pass through the pep
per- box holes into the flames, where they
are consumed. The bone, are calcined and
form light ash, all that is left.
There is nothing repulsive about the pro-
cess. On the contrary, there is something
classic and poetic in it. intend to be Gre

to the rear door, with the body in box.
1t is carried inside to an ante-reom. There
it is lifted from the box and wrapped in

drapery will not take fire too socn. 1t looks,
| thus shrouded, quite like the beautiful
| marble figures that are sometimes foun1
sculptured upon the lids Of cinerary urns

! Etruria and at Rome they are found among
the rare old ruins. The corpse is then
placed upon an iron bier, which is wheeled
| into the audience room. The bier slides
| forward from its frame into thu retort, and
the door is clapped to.
At the end Of an hour nothing is left but
| little pile Of white ashes The bodies are
consumed at the rate of 100 pounds every
| thirty minutes. One with large bones will
be longer in consuming than others At
the end from three pints to two quarts OF
ashes are left. The cost Of cremation will be
s25 for the inciner alton, S. for funeral

Chronic Catarrh.

+; c. w. Mellier, of 4o6 South Fourth
street, St. Louis, is twenty years Of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often-
sive. When he came to DIR. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told il would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs Of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1870 Gay street, ST.
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story OF
his case. ~ took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and bad cough
followed. l went to a number of ply"
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. could not ascend flight OF
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating / often coughed so hard that /
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago I went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and / feel like
new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
y, Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1920 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DR.. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely we'll and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing" PERUNA will cure any disease"
I.P. Dukehart, of Cumberland, Md,

conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road for twenty eight years, and previous
ly a druggist, writes: "DR. S. B. HART
MAN & Co., Columbus, o. have used
but one bottle of PERUNA between myself
and son. He had diptheretic sore throat
and is now we'll. AS for myself, it has en-
tirely relieved the dullness in my head
which has been of long standing-the re
suit of chronic malaria. never tool
anything in my life that gave me sucl
great satisfaction. My vile is now TAX,
