Insidious and stealthv in Its Approach
Deadly and Unyielding In It's Grasp
Extracts From q Lecture at the Surgi-s
cal Hotel, Columbus, Ohio. by Mr. s. b.
acknowledgement for the Press.
The onset Of malaria is often SO very
insidious that it is quite difficult to de-
tect the nature of it until after it has
fastened itself thoroughly IN the system.
Malaria often will poster a person for
months without making him sick abed,
but making him genuinely miserable
creeping rigors, coated tongue, appetite
changeable, and many indescribable SEN
sations Of genuinely d~isagreeable kinds.
Chills and hot flashes Of very irregular
duration and recurrence come and 90
without seeming cause The hands and
feet are usually cold and clammy, and
the general tendency is to dryness and
coldness OF the skin of the whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this
class of patients are liable, but now all
ways present, may be mentioned neural
gic headache, nervous chills, hysteria,
sinking or faint spells, distressing pal
pitation of the heart, detective eyesight,
total inability to read, write, or do
any business; urine abundant.
without color, and loss of flesh.
Melancholy feelings, a discouraged,
llstless state of mind, mental depres-
sion and confusion of the mind surely
indicate the presence Of malaria. This
form is called malarial biliousness. For
Ibis waking malaria" which neither
puts one to bed nor allows him to work
or study, Pe-ru-na should be taken as
directed on the bottle. A course of Pc
ru-na will entirely cleanse the system Of
every particle of the malarial poison.
Therefore, if you have any kind of bad
feeling, which you attribute to malaria
by all means follow this treatment. It
at c restores the appetite, clears the
befogged senses, and brings back the.
hopeful state Of mind which malaria is
sure to destroy. A thorough use Of it
Will convince you OF it's wonderful power
in all such cases. Pe-ru-na can be re-
lied on to cure these cases and restore to
perfect health as speedily as the chronic
nature of the difficulty will allow.
Should constipation exist at the same
time Man-a-lin should be added. The
Pe-ru-na tones up the nervous system
and enriches the blood, giving strength
and vitality. while Man-a-lin restores
the activity of the excretory glands, en-
abllng the system to rid itself of accum-
ulated poison, bringing back to the most
unfortunate class of invalids the flush
and good feeling of perfect health. Di-
rections for use accompany each bottle.
For a complete treatise on malaria,
chills and fever and fever and ague, send
for The Family Physician No. l. Sent
free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacture

Financial Questions.

The SECRETARY Of tho Treasury Speaks sal
Financial Questions. a
VERM1LLIoN, O., Aug. 8.-Secretary
of the Treasury Foster spoke toa large
audience here on monetary questions.
He reviewed the financial history of the
country from the colonial period down
to the present time. He exhsustively
discussed the state bank system, the is
III Of greenbacks and the resumption Of
specie payments. His remarks were
chiefly directed to the best system Of
banks, and the conclusion he reached
was stated as follows:
ITO me 1t seems perfectly clear Tint if
this country is going to have any kind
kind of paper money issued by banks,
the national bank system is undoubt-
eddy preferable to, that of banks of issue
under state authority. In the national
bank system we have one restraining
power, which has shown that in nearly
thirty years not a single dollar has been
lost to the public. Under state authority
we would have forty different sys-
TENS of bank issue. reviving, par
tally. at least, the old system,
entailing more or less loss upon
the Professionalism largely con
fined to state of issue. The money shaw
ers would again have occupation and
large losses would certainly fall upon
the people. If more bank issues are
needed or desired it can easily and safely
be had. This story Of the currency Of
this country plainly indicates the neces-
sity of having at all times a circulating
medium that is without question or
doubt upon aperfectly substantial basis;
that any dollar of our circulation should
be the equal of every other dollar. I do
not know that we can have too much
good money, but I do know we can have
too much poor money. Let it be the
study Of our people to secure for them
selves sound money and as much Of that
as their business needs may require"

What Is Said of tho Ticket.

40 S~A~ AA0~O
Fargo Argus: Mr.. Dahl is q promin-
ent Norwegian, a successful business
man at Bismarck, and will add strength
to the ticket.
Fargo Argus: James w. Foley, the
delegate from Billings county, kept his
delegation we'll in line and did some
good hustling for Burke. Billings
voted as q unit with the governors
forces.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: The con-
vention and the republicans of the state
are to be congratulated on the result.
Gov. Burke is most assuredly the strong
est man who could have been nominated,
and will receive not only the full repub-
lican vote, but also the vote OF the many
who have heretofore voted the demo-
cratic ticket, but do not propose to be
led into the camp of the calamity howl
ers and wild cat theorists.

And now that the fire is q thing of the
past, and the matter is viewed in a cool,
calm, critical light, it is evident that
great credit is due the firemen. They
came 10 the fire in hot haste, as they
always do, they labored long and1
steadily, and it was to their efforts that
the saving of part of the block was Iue.
They deserve credit, great credit, for the
work they did, and no one who watched
them can withhold it.
No accidents have as yet been reported
and nj mysterious disappearances or
musings, except, perhaps, in the case Of
those who may have "taken to the woods"
for safety.
