Senator Lexow is in a sansuine frame or MIND
Judging from the talk in which he INDUCED yea

action at Albany and with the general course OF
the Legislature. He is also confident that reform

ideas Of reform do not coincide with those OF n

genuine reform they will contain remains to be

North CnrOIina's Legislators Severely
DenOunce Their Critics.

Raleigh, N. c., February 25.--Today wit
resses the most exciting and spirited de-
bate vet held in the house. The epithets
Liar and 'falsehood" were banded about
Pretty freely, though in a rather indiscrim-

in reference to the Frederick Douglass mat
ter:

A SEVERE WINTER.
The Cause of Suffering and an In
crease Of Diseases

This winter has been the most severe
for many years. North, South, East and
west intense cold and billiards. have pre-
vailed. This will surely cause a great in
crease of sickness and death. Chronic c.
tarrh and consumption always begins by
catching cold. Thousands have started on
the road toward q lifetime of misery from
chronic catarrh or a sure death from con-
sumption. 1t is not too late yet to be
saved and restored to a life of health ana
activity. Pe-ru-na will do it. 1t never
fails to quickly cure chronic catarrh less
than two years old. OF course, Pe-ru-na
cures thousands and thousands of cases
of chronic catarrh that have run for many
years, but in cases that are of more recent
origin 1t cures quickly, certainly and peTma-
nently. Every case of cold cough that
mas resulted from the effects of our severe
winter could now be cured in a short time
by Pe-ru-na. Not n single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who desire the
advice of DR.. Hartman about their cases
should write, giving age, sex, disease and
time of sickness, and he will answer free.
A few weeks treatment now will prevent
years of suffering, and in many cases
death. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company, Columbus, Ohio, for
free book on catarrh, colds, cough, la
grippe and consumption.
For free book on cancer, address Dr.
Hartman. Columbus, Ohio.
