A DOCTORS PHILANTHROPY.
Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Catarril
Under Free Treatment.

The first day of November, 1898, Or.
Hartman gave his consent TO ta6e
charge OF the treatment OF l0,OO0 cases
of chronic catarrh free of charge. The
announcement was at once puoiisneo
in all the leading papers, when 'ee ap"
piieations came pouring 10 rom every
State in the Union. With large num-
Der of clerks and stenographers to
assist him, the doctor actually directs
the treatment of thousands of cases oy
correspondence, which costs the pa
sients nothing, except the necessary
medicines, which are obtained at the
nearest drug store. To become pa
tient it is only necessary to send name
and address, describe symptoms, ana
minute directions as 10 Glet, SANITARY
regulations, and other advice WILL oe
sent promptly.
Wherever Dr.. Hartman is known the
name of Pe-ru-na has become house
hold word. It is safe to say that 10
medicine in existence is used oS so
many families IS Pe-ru-pa. This IS
especially true Of this time of the year,
when the people are liable to catarrhal
affections, coughs, colds, Ia grippe, etc:
Pe-ru-na has cured more cases OF
chronic catarrh than all other medl-
cines combined. The great majority
OF those who use it buy the remedy
themselves, use it according to direc-
tions, not even reporting their case 70
DR.. Hartman urtil after they are en-
tirely cured. But now that Limited
humber Of cases can secure the persona!
attention Of DR.. Hartman free OF
charge, it is not to be wondered at that
many prefer to do so. Pe-ru-ns never
fails to cure catarrh when properly
used,
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company of Columbus, Ohio. are send
ing free to sny address book on
chronic catarrh which gives the latest
treatment for cs starrh, coughs, colds, la
grippe, bronchitis, and all other affec-
lions of head, throat and lungs.

Facts About the ThornweIl Orphanage

It began operation twenty years ago
with half dollari in the treasury. 1t is
now supporting over one hundred and
thirty orphans annually al a cost OF
one thousand dollars month.
The orphans are from the Presby-
terian, Methods, Episcopal, Lutheran,
Baptist and six other denominations,
from every Southern State, and some
Northern; from every profession aud
station in society.
They are educated religiously and
intellectually by the institution; and in
addition every boy and girl is qualified,
by learning some trade, to support
themselves.
Their support comes from the volun-
tary gifts of Gods people. Provisions
and clothing and money-all such gifts
make up the sum annually needed.
Yes, help is needed noW. On the lst
day of November there was not one
dollar in the treasury, and none expect
ed save from the hand of the Almighty
Fa,uer.
The Orphanage is located at Clinton,
South Carolina. The town has three
railroads to carry in gifts of provisions.
Rev. VIM. P. Jacobs, is its head, to
whom gifts of money may be sent.
This is the month for the thank Of
ferings. Next month is for Christmas
off Sings; and thasss New Years
OF III shall it be?

tee was called; silver vacillated, and il
seemed that it would prove to be 8
backslider, but in May the Sherman
law passed and went into effect on
| August 18th. On August 10Th silver
| was worth s1.2l an ounce. 1t was then
discovered that our representatives had
again been deluded-that the Sherman
law treated constitutional money
metal as a commodity. Silver lost its
honesty aud the money power sent Up
q howl that confidence was gone and,
| by dinJ of continuous repetition, sue
ceeded in getting 8 great many people
to believe that dishonesty was inherent
| in the metal.
Mr.. Cleveland said, by giving the
dishonest thing q fatal blow, conf
dence would be induced to return and
would bring prosperity with it. Our
representatives did not take we'll to
such views. Mr.. Cleveland went to
work and by judiciously feeding from
his patronage spoon soon got enough
of them tractable and carried his point.
The results have been sufficient to de-
monstrate the fact that a robber could
have quoted from the Bible with as
much consistency while relieving his
victims of their valuables.
AS we NO longer have that dishonest
dollar to protect our interest, the hon.
est dollar demands so to 100 per cent.
more of our labor's product. do not
mean to say that Mr.. Cleveland is not
honest. The money power says the
old gentleman has backbone, and l
mean they have hold on it and by Civ
ing it twist can make him pull in
their harness. Mr.. Cleveland admitted
as much when he told Col. Oates that
the money power had the country by
the threat and could drain the treasu-
~ within twenty-four hours and was
afraid to sign the seigniorage bill.
Mr.. Cleveland's pet hobby was tariff
reform, by which he thought he could
divert the masses from the true causes
Of their oppression. If the farmers
could get living prices for the products
ef their labor they would not be found
grumbling if a protective tariff would
enable their brother laborers in other
vocatiens to obtain living wages. There
is about as much philosophy in telling
q hungry man he can live on without
eating anything IS to take a mans
money from him and then tell him you
have made goods cheap.
The tariff DILL passed, and I hear no
complaint of it from tariff reformers,
but Mr.. Cleveland refused to sign it
and gave Mr.. Catchings his reasons for
not doing 80. One was, that it con-
tanned Inconsistencies which should be
in no tariff laws nor any other laws
The money power said the income tax
clause was an inconsistency. antici-
pate the reply to the position that l
have taken, to be: that no one not
yersed in the laws of finance should be
criticising the actions of an eminent
financier, contend that all just laws
are based on common sense, and the
law of finance is no exception. Cabut
defines the word "financier" to be lone
who possesses the art of plucking the
fowl without making it cry" Now, if
events are the touchstones for any
thing, even some of the gold bngs will
soon be forced to admit that they have
been outrageously plucked.
