90 YOU NEED

Prohabl, no lee than one quarter of

ready becoming ovrrcrowded with rein
s~iies recommended - spring incidence
II the affections peculiar ~ spring were
all alike and the compounds recon
lnended Tor them similar 10 the action.
then. indeed. the case would be simple.
A. everyone in need q spring medicine
would only have to consult his taste in
his selection or buy the one which offers
the greatest amount q medicine for the
least money.
But unfortunately no two people arc
handled exactly alike. and no two spring
medicines are II exactly the same COM
position. Hence the many dissppoint-
menss in the use OF them. One person d
symptoms in the spring are mainly dys-
pcptic. snofhers 1t impure blood. while
another complains II general weakness.
tired feelings. dizziness and mental con.
fusion. ard still others have loss Of appe-
tate. constipation and biliousness
To be- able to select from the numer-
Gus compounds offered az spring medi-
cines the exact one which will be the
most likely 10 be Of benefit 30 any given
case would require not only hysicisn.
but very expert one. Tie numer-
Gus sarsaparilla's. the multitude
OF blood purifiers. lcgions at
tonics. the numbcriees nerve mcdi.
cines. with all their clamor and claims
and confusing recommendations. make
il impossible Tor many people TO decide
which 10 take. II is therefore no matter
of surprise that Pe.ru-na is in such great
demand at this time Of the year. as this
well-tried and well known spring medi.
cine meets all AZ the indications above
mentioned. IL one is dyspeptic, Pc
ru-na is the remedy. IL one has impure
blood. general weakness. tired feelings
dizziness. mental confusion. loss Of ap.
petite. constipation or biliousness. Pc
ru-na is exactly the remedy needed in
each and every condition. After one
has once used Pe-ru-na as . spring
remedy he can never be persuaded 10
use another.

posted on diseases Of spring and the
proper selection Of a remedy should send

AWAITING A RISE.
Twenty Million Bushels of Coal In the
Pools at Pittsburg.

Twenty Million Bushels of Coal In the
Pools at Pittsburg.
A careful estimate puts the total
amount OF coal in the Monongahela at
1873, 900 bushels. Less than one-half OF
this amount OF the coal lies In the
Pittsburg harbor, between Lock No. l
and Davis Island dam, the greater part
Of it being in Pools No. l, No. 2, No. B
and No. 4, covering distance OF forty
five miles up the river, says the Pitts
burg Commercial Gazette.
Coal men differ in their opinions as to
whether this Is the largest amount OF
coal that has ever been in the river at
any one time. One veteran riverman
said last evening that In January, 1883,
90, 100000 bushels went out from
Pittsburg. Nearly all Of this coal, how
ever, lay in the pools above here, and
there is no doubt that there IS more
coal In the Pittsburg harbor than ever
before.
The thousands of people who view the
hundreds Of coal boats and bargeS as
they cross our bridges and pass acre
after acre Of coal as they travel up and
down the Monongahela river will doubt
less be surprised 10 learn that an i'm
mense amount Of money is paid out to
keep this coal in the river. In order TO
keep these boats and barges anoat
there is paid out each month for pump
ing purposes about S22, 500. This, to-
gether with the fact OF such a large
amount of money invested lying idle,
