sickly fluid which flows out of the hot water
pipe in boarding house bathtub. The roof
of John's mouth was sticky, and his tongue
was coated with the ashes of despair. He
sat on the edge of his bed and sneezed
feebly.

door a little way, breakfasts getting

No Sympathy From His Better Half.
Nonsense, john" said Mrs. Smith, IT
never saw you looking better in my life.
Come along quick; I've got breakfast
especially !or you, and trouble enough it's
been 10 me-"
John asked what it was, but be really had
no curiosity. His stomach felt like the in
terror of a whited sepulcher, and the thought
of food made him sea sick.
"Sausages and buckwheat cakes" said
Mrs. Smith cheerfully, and banged the
door. John could have wept at the prospect
of eating sausages, but by a strong effort of
will he continued to array himself for the
day. By and by Mrs. Smith opened the
door again.
"Johu." she said, "why don't you
hurry?"
Mary" he replied solemnly. 81 feel

His Experience on the Street.
John groaned. Then he allowed himself
to be led into the dining room, where plate
heaped high with sausages and buckwheats
awaited him. Half an hour later he arose
with a sigh, feeling as if he had eaten two
bull terriers and dozen fried door-mats.
Ga the way to his work he encountered an
cuuaintance, to whom he was about to con-
foe the story of his melancholy condition,
but the gentleman complimented him on his
unusually robust appearance, and struck
him for halt a dollar.
John was not a professional man but
earned an honest living as sub foreman in
a factory. When he reached the scene of
his toll, he was in such condition that a
living seemed the last thing he should wish
TO work for. So he went to his immediate
boss and said: ''Mr. Jewks, I am feeling
sick and"
. "There is a good deal of sickness about"
responded Mr.. Jewks. ''As for me, I'm
totally broken up-ought to be at home in
both legs, and head on Newell, it's no
use describing it to stout, hearty man like
you. Oh. Smith, you ought TO offer up
thanks night and morning, for the blessing
OF health. And, by the way, hustle those
big cases down of the top shelves; we've got
TO take account of stock to-day"

Mr.. Jewks walked TO the other end of the
room, where he sat and chewed tobacco in
Respondent manner, rubbing his rheumatic
legs occasionally. John drew a long breath
and wondered if he could stand it till noon.
Perhaps 1 can go out then, he reflected.

So ne went to work in a dim, misty man

A CASE OF CHRONIC CATARRH
In the Third Stage Cured-Ten Years Q
Victim of Catarrh, and Per-
manently Cured.
A TREATMENT THAT NEED NOT FAIL II
REACH OF ALL.

If cases like the following can be cured,
certainly there Is hope for all. This patient
had been growing worse in spite of all treat.
ment for ten years, ami had reached that ter
rible condition known as the third stage of
catarrh (atrophic catarrh). The offensive
breat b, and dry scabs forming in the nose
cracking in the ears, describe a condition
which is considered by most physicians as
hopeless. The case is given in the words Of
the patient:
CLINTON, MICH, March q, 1891.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Colum bus, o.
Gentlemen: L had been troubled ten years
with chronic catarrh, gradually growing
worse from year to year. 1 tried all the
treatments and remedies heard of without
any relief. My symptoms were dry scsbs
forming in the nose, dropping from the back
part OF the nose into the throat. sore throat.
nose stopped up, offensive breath, and crack
ing and roaring in the ears. 1 began to take
your remedy on the first of November, 1889,
and in II months l was perfectly cured. /
used no local treatment, but used only your
medicine internally. / have had no return
of my catarrh, and consider myself perfectly
cured. H. d. WALTER.
1t would be difficult to describe a worse
case to cure than the above. The length Of
time it had run, the TACT that it had contin-
uaily grown worse and the further fact that
it had already developed the symptoms OF
the dry, or atrophic, stage of catarrh, COM
bine to make this very remarkable cure,
quite I'm possible to be made with the ordt.
nary treatment.
This cure was effected by internal treat
ment alone, and no spray, gargle or lnnalans
was used. The case began to improve as
soon as the medicine was begun, and In SIX
months every symptom bad disappeared,
but the medicine was continued lew
months longer for fear they would return
This man has been exposed during the past
winter to the changeable climate OF Michi-
gan, and has not had the slightest return of
auy catarrhal symptoms. Not . month
passes but that hundreds of similar cures
are made by the internal use of Pe-ru-ns,
unassisted by other treatment.
The only reason that there are any failures
are either because the catarrh is compli-
Gated by some organic disease or the patient
does not take the medicine long enough.
The majority of people expect to be cured
in a week or two Of catarrh that has run 10
or Is years. Such people are nearly always
disappointed. Pe-ru-na will cure q recent
case of acute catarrh in few days or weeks,
but when the disease becomes chronic il
takes longer.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis, sore
throat and pleurisy are all catarrhal af-
fsctions, and consequently are quickly
curable by Pe-ru-na. Each bottle Of Pc
ru-na Is accompanied by full directions for
use. and is kept BY most druggists. Get
your druggist to order it for you II he does
not already keep it.

Protect YOur Health.

Cold and moisture combined have torporis-
ing effect upon the bodily organs, and the d.
gestive and secretive processes are apt to be
more tardily performed In winter than in the
fall. The same is true, also. of the excretory
functions. The bowels are often sluggi.h, and
the pores of the skin throw off but little waste
matter at this season. the system, therefore,
requires opening up little. and also purifying
and regulating, and the safest, surest and most
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies the
painful disturbances Of the bowels, the bilious
attacks and the nervous visitations so common
at this time OF the year, will do we'll to reinforce
their systems with this renowned vegetable
stomachic and invigoraut. 1t improves the ap-
spirits and renovates the whole physique.

MAKING MONEY RAPIDLY.
The Story That Richardson Made 81 900
Out of PittsburG's Court House.


The Story That Richardson Made 81 60, 900
Out of PittsburG's Court House.
New York SUM-
The popular belief that a New York
physician paid for splendid uptown man
sion with the fees he took in from patients
in one year is calculated to make men covet
for their sons the parchments of DOCTOR
The story that Americas greatest architect,
Richardson, left to his heirs $3.50, 900, the
fees he earned from his work upon the
Pittsburg public buildings, is apt to en-
courage the general belief that to be an
architect is to stand chance of earning a
princely income.
1t will not occur to everyone that the
highly successful medical man in question
must have possessed a high order of genius,
and that the architect was man who could
turn music into masonry and poetry into
bricks. These are DAYS distinguished by
greater pecuniary possibilities than Christen-
dom ever knew before, whether or not civil
lization, in other periods, held out similar
inducements for genius and industry. But
it is not every professional man who builds
a palace with years work or enriches his
children from single contract.

A Renowned Traveler-I have heard great

Tom Ochiltree's Debts Elected Him.

Abe Shwarts. of Texas-When was living
in the Galveston district and Tom Ochiltree
was running for Congress the second time they
used to tell a story at Toms expense which
nettled that auburn hair celebrity very much
in those days, but which he now tells himself.
1t was notorious that Colonel Tom had weak
ness for running into debt and a very atten-
uated memory as to his creditors. They used
to say that Tom would go into haberdashery
and order pair of socks, having the same
charged up to a mythical account, which, of
course, was never settled. During the cam
paign it was told from the stump by Texan
wag that Tom was sure to be elected. AS he
was on the inside people were very anxious to
know the basis of his information. He de-
clared that interviews had been had all over
the district with Toms creditors. and every one
of them had agreed to vote for him in the hope
that he would square up out of his Congress
sional salary. As it was conceded that his
creditors were largely in the majority this
settled the matter. As Tom was elected that
man was ever afterward looked upon in Texas
as a very shrewd political manager.

THE LAWYERS INCOME.

It Comes 1rregularly, and Thus Leads to
Spendthrift Habits.
New York SUM-
A lawyers income is not anything like SO
steady as a physicians One lawyer who
earned $75, 900 during the year before last,
confesses that he took in only $40, 900 last
year. Such variations are not merely fire.
quent, they are almost to be counted on. 1t
is to such variations that lawyers ascribe the
spendthrift character of the successful men
in their profession. When they make money
it seems to come overwhelmingly, and, as it
comes alter period of enforced self-denial,
it is apt to go as it comes.
One well-known lawyer. who has recently
established himself in town, took $40, 600 as
fee in a recent celebrated will case 1t
gave him prestige, but in the year that has
succeeded that event he has not earned as
much as he got from that single case.
