the rate of wages for the last half of Sep

per cent above the s2 80 basis, or 6 per

reason of this large increase is due to the
fact that coal from the collieries drawn

not due to any such increase in average

CONSUMPTION.
Acute and Chronic.

The acute form is known as the gal
Looping or quick consumption. The
chronic form is much slower in it's
course. Consumption is nearly al.
ways, If not quite always, due to
chronic catarrh passing from the up
per ar passages to the lungs. In the
early stages the symptoms of the dis
ease are sometimes 80 obscure as to
hide the disease from the patient and
doctor; but If the disease has become
developed the symptoms are 30 well
known that they need only be refer.
red to: Pains and itchiugs about the
chest, hackin cough, G expectorati on
yellowish or streaked with blood
short breath, palpitations of the
heart, frequent pulse, hot skin with
occasional chills, flush of the cheeks,
bright eyes, night sweats. In so lie
cdugh is not present, and the patient
complains of nothing but shortness OF
breath and weakness.
The main reliance of the afflicted is
the great remedy Pe-ru-na. This
medicine has saved a great man y pa.
tients after all hope had fled and
earthly assistance seemed vain. In
advanced cases, where the strength is
rapidly failing and the cough trouble
some, a half pound of rock candy
added to each bottle of Pe.ru.na is adj
visable, but usually the Pe.ru-na had
better be taken without any change,
according to directions ON the bottle.
If Pe-ru-na be taken the first stage OF
the disease the prospect ofrecovery is
good, especially if the n.y.
gienic measures mentioned are
faithfully attended to. Pc
ru-na checks the cough,
checks the diarrhea, If any, increases
the strength and appetite, corrects
the digestion, produces sound sleep in
most cases, strengthens the action OF
the heart and consequently lessons
the night sweats; in short, it is the
most perfect medicine to meet all the
distressing symptoms of consumption.
When taking Pe-ru-na there is no
need for stimulants or opium or ner-
vines of any kind, for all the symp.
toms for which these are ordinarily
used are admirably met by this most
excellent medicine.

He was all the more gratified at the
welcome extended to him as it ex-
pressed the contentment with which
people accepted the past.
