THE HUMAN BODY.
is Structure and Diseases An Extract
From DR.. Hartman's Latest Lecture.


From DR.. Hartmsn's Latest Lecture.
Every organ of the human body is
lined with mucous membrane. ALI
these mucous membranes are subject
to chronic catarrh; hence every organ
of the body is liable to become de-
ranged by chronic catarrh. Unfortu-
nately, However, catarrh of most of
the organs is not called catarrh,
and many people are led astray
as to the real nature of their dis
ease. If the catarrh happens to be
located in the head OF throat it is then
generally called catarrh, but if it is
located in the bronchial tubes it is
called bronchitis; il in the lungs, con
sumption; if in the stomach, it is
called dyspepsia; catarrh of the kid
news is called Bright's disease; while
catarrh of the pelvic organs is called
female weakness and various other
names.
These different names given to
catarrh of the different organs OF the
body lead people to suppose they
are troubled with an entirely different
diseases, and consequently require
different treatment. This mistake
leads people into very serious trouble.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located
in the head, throat, lungs. stomach;
bowels or kidneys. 1t is the same old
disease. and demands the same sys.
temic treatment. Any remedy that
will cure catarrh at all will cure 1t
wherever it is located. Among the
thousands of medicines which nature
and science have produced there is
only one which acts as a specific for
chronic eatarrh, and that one is Pc
ru>na. A thorough course of treat
ment with Pe-ru'na will not fail
to benefit chronic catarrh wherever
located or however long it may have
existed; but in most cases SUCH
course of Pe-ru-na will eradicate the
a. disease entirely, producing a perfect

habit With crowd Of men and boys, who

off before the speed becomes too high.
Yesterday afternoon Vernon Mcleod got

once. So when Vernon attempted to swing
off opposite the old freight depot, be was

with great violence and was picked up
for dead. There were no bones broken,
but it is wonder he was not smashed all up.

In New Quarters.

The Simonds National Bark moved into its
new quarters in the new City Hall on Friday
last and is BOW thoroughly at home.
The Simonds Bank now has the hand
soonest and best equipped Office Of any bank
in the State. Everything is Of the hand
soonest description and nothing that would
add to the beauty, convenience or security OF
the banking house has been omitted.
The ratings and desks are of polished
ouartered oak. The ratings rest on marble
bases and are surmounted by hammered brass
open work Col. Wallace has private Office
in the front, then the banking Office proper
aud the new burglar proof vault. In the
rear of the vault there are private offices OF
the President and Directors.
The vault is the chief attraction in the
bank and is we'll worth close examination.
1t is of the Hall-Herring- Marvin make and
there is not another like it in the State. The
vault rests on 7-foot foundation Of brick
and cement and is encased in 2-feet of brick
and cement. The vault is of chilled steel and
is warranted to be drill proof. The door Of
the vault is of chilled steel four inches in
thickness and so fitted TO the vault that iti
impossible to blow it loose with nitro-glyce-
rine or dynamite. The outside door has a
double-time lock and the inner door is secured
by the ordinary combination dial lock. In
side of this vault is another d1ill-proof safe
in which anything particularly valuable will
be deposited. One side of the vault is fitted
with safety deposit boxes, which will be
rented to customers of the bank.
The Simond's National Bank is one Of the
institutions of the town and it's managers
have always been liberal and progressive. 1t
has been of great assistance in building up
the business of Sumter and we all wish it in-
creased prosperity in the new and elegant
home in the handsomest building in this Sec
ton of South Carolina.
