THREATENED CONSUMPTION.
A Typical Case % Catarrh Cured by
DR.. Hartman's Free Treatment.

A farmers wife has been troubled
from childhood with catarrh. Until
within the last few years she has not
been treated for it. But it has become
so much aggravated that she consuits
her physician. He treats her and she
perseveres faithfully, without avail, for
months. Then she tries a physician
in the city. Although his charges are
exorbitant, her husband gladly pays
them but she gets no better. The
farmer in despair, sees his wife growing
paler and weaker every day. A cough
sets in, and consumption is near.
At last they read about Pe-ru-na.
The husband writes to DR.. Hartman
and re ,eives an encouraging and SYM
pathetic answer. They continue the
correspondence all the while she takes
Pe-ru-na, receiving new advice and
assistance in every letter. Her symp-
leave her one by one. Her color
returns. Her cough ceases. At last
/ she is we'll. In her gladness of heart
she writes to DIR. Hartman, anxious to
have her cure told to others that they
also may be cured.
Such is the history of a typical
testimonial used by DIR. Hartman in his
books. One of these books will be
sent free to any address by the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company, Column
bus, Ohio.

The East is Blind to the Future.

From the Kansas City Times.
The east, with its customary lack of
knowledge of all but local affairs, has
distorted the meaning of the recent
election. Instead of seeing merely a
temporary victory, brought about
largely by means which cannot again
be available, the east regards it as a
final settlement of the questions at
Issue.
The principles for which the demo-
Gratis and their allies fought are not the
sort to be lost by Il temporary defeat.
They are at the very foundation OF
society. So long As the trusts main
tain their grip on the Threats of the
people there will be a democratic party
fighting for industrial and political
freedom.
The east has never realized that in
spite of its wealth it is Il small part OF
this great nation. 1t fails to see, in its
blind selfishness, that its subsidies
from the government have enabled it
to grow rich at the expense of the rest
of the country. In its conceit it does
not dream that the withdrawal of its
special privileges will end its CONNER
cial dominion, and that that withdrawal
is not an impossibility.
The east is responsible for the evils
that have come upon us. The outra-
geous tactics of Wall street, the greed
of its manufacturers and the infamous
knavery of eastern loan agents in the
south and west have aroused the people
to anger and alarm.
The temporary defeat of these peo-
pie, disorganlzed and poor, as they
were, was not easily accomplished. 1t
deceives no intelligent man into think
ing that there can be an end of the
contest so long as the cause remains.
The people do not expect any change
from the monopolists, who are, in fact,
utterly unable to see any danger to
them from the despised people. But
they are being solemrly warned by
soaso OF their own friends that they are
going too far. The result will be their
complete overthrow at the next cleo
ton.
