CHRONIC MALARIA.
> Very Prevalent Disease Following the
Hot summer of 1898


The continuance Of hot and dry
weather is sure To produce the preva-
lence Of chronic malaria The past
summer has been exactly suitable for
the production of great deal of ma
laria. Even in localities where ma
laria has been previously unknown,
mar cases of malaria are developed.
This form Of malaria is distinguished
from The old fashioned fever and ague
by the inSidiousness of its attack and
the difficulty with which it is cured.
II does not come on quickly like chills
and fever The symptoms poster and
provoke sometimes for several weeks
before the patient is made sick
enough 10 take medicine.
Slight, chilly sensations; cold,
sweaty spells: frontal headache. bill
iousness. furred tongue. bad taste in
the mouth. sticky mucous in the
throat, constipation. languor. etc.
a medical treatise on chronic ma
laria will be sent free by the Pe-ru-
ma Drug Manufacturing Company of
Columbus. Ohio. This book is a
complete guide to the prevention and
cure OF malaria in its various forms.
Pe-ru-na has long since been recog-
nized as the only infa1lible cure for
the chronic form Of malaria. While
quinine has become the standard
remedy for acute malaria, commonly
called fever and ague. many people
have found by bitter experience that
it will not cure the chronic form.
Pe-ru-na cures these cases promptly
and permanently.

THE HUMAN MAGNETS
Are Coming with Healing in Their
Hands. and Will Show Their Pow
err in Public.

The Kansas City Times, in referring
to the marvellous work of the Human
Magnets in that city recently, says:
The Human Magnets gave their
third and last public demonstration at
the Auditorium last night to a repre-
sentative audience of Kansas City cit
liens. AS on each previous occasion,
the immense house was filed to over
flowing and the front seats were occu-
pied by people afflicted with all the
diseases of the category. More than a
score of the very worst and most seri-
Gus cases in the audience were treated
upon the public stage, after which
nearly all announced they were either
greatly benefited or entirely cured
Words fail to do justice to the many
pathetic scenes which transpired as
the blind, lame and crippled returned
to their friends in the audience in some
cases restored to normal health, while
in few very severe cases of paralysis
of long standing they were so materi-
ally benefited that the audience gave
expression tS their appreciation by loud
cheers.
The unparalleled success attending the
healing of the sick in Kansas City by
the Human Magnets is indeed a reve-
lation to the citizens of this city.
Skepticism has vanished, and the
public of Kansas City are now con-
verts to the wonderful power of animal
magnetism in healing the sick as pcs
sessed by the Human Magnets.
The above company will arrive in
Salt Lake tonight, and remain all of
next week, giving three public demon
strations entirely free, at the Salt
Lake theatre, commencing Monday
night which is free to both ladies and
gentlemen. On Tuesday afternoon
Prof. ". Fletcher Hall. who enjoys the
proud distinction of being one of the
seven sight diagnosticians in the world,
will deliver a private lecture to ladies
only. No boys. girls, babies or child
rem allowed. On Tuesday night. the
lecture and demonstration will be TO
gentlemen only.

New York, July 11.-There was much
kicking among grain men Ola the produce
exchange today over the leakage of the
crop report.
Insiders, it is alleged. are about twenty
four hours ahead OF the rank and file of
traders in getting tine report.
A prominent broker who is indignant at
the alleged tips became possessed yes
terday noon of figures on the condition of
spring and winter wheat, said to have
come direct from Washington. He re-
ceived them through a friend and refused
TO give the names or figures, but to as
sure the doubters that he had d sure
Zip, the figures were placed in an en-
velope, sealed with the signatures Of the
brokers and put away. This morning the
figures were compared with the official
conditions sent out in the crop report
On spring wheat, the tip was 1Gl against
1922 government figures. and the winter
50 against o5.S Official. The significance
and importance of this will be apparent
when it is stated that the best local
guessers yesterday were for conditions of
1913 ard q for spring and winter.
1t was said the northwest also had
straight tip on the government report, for
they were heavy sellers III this market
yesterday.
