CATARRH SYMPTOMS.
AS Described by DIR. Hartman in a
Recent Lecture.

'The symptoms vary according to the
place where the catarrh is located. Ca
tarrh in the head-nOse stopped up; pain
in the forehead; scabs in nose, bad
breath; snoring; sneezing; watery eyes.
Catarrh of the thrOat-vOice husky or
hOarse; tickling in throat; hawking; spit
ting up; sore throat and enlarged tonsils
Catarrh of the stomach-indigestion
tongue coated water brash; fullness af-
ter eating; hawking and splitting after
meals; dizziness and irregular appetite
Catarrh of the bronchial tubes-cough;
pain in chest; gradual loss of flesh; cough
worse night and morning; tightness in
upper portion of chest, and sometimes
night sWeatS. This form of catarrh will
soon end in consumption if not cured"
DIR. Hartman used Pe-ru-na in over
3O,OOO cases before it was introduced to
the general public as catarrh remedy.
Pe-ru-na as remedy for chronic catarrh
whether in the head, nose, throat, lungs.
stomach, kidneys or bladder. has become
known all over the civilized portions of
North America. The reasons for which
Pe-rl-na has taken the lead of all other
catarrh remedies are: First, it never
fails to cure when properly used; second.
IL permanently cures instead of giving
temporary relief; third, it cures chronic
catarrh wherever located; fourth, it is
composed entirely of vegetable products
and is perfectly harmless; fifth, the per-
sonai advice of DIR. Hartman in any case
of chronic catarrh can be had free of
cnarge by letter by any one taking Pc
ru-na.
One of the best books ever published
on chronic catarrh by DR.. 5. b. Hart
man Is being sent free to any address
by The Pe-ru-Ha Drug Manufacturing
Company of Columbus, Ohio.

THE BIGGEST FOOL ATLARGE

W bullN.D
Is the individual who persistently neg
lccts his health, and the means of pre-
serving and restoring it. Many persons
who are not constitutional idiots do this.
They are genuine objects of compassion
rs well as ccnsure. A failure of Ape
titc, loss of sleep and flesh, impaired di-
gcstion, an uncertain state of the bowels
and symptoms of biiousness are so many
warnings of the approach of disease.
To disregard them is abject folly, which
offended nature in due time Furnishes Sc
ycrcly, if not fatally. That genial and
thoroughly reliable preventive of bodily
mischief in the shape of chronic disease,
Hostcttcr's Stomach Bitters, will, if re-
sorted to in time, avert those disorders,
to the removal of which it is also fully ad-
cquntc. Among these are chronic indi-
gestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles
constipation, nervousness, rheumatism
and malaria

AS TO COTTON.
The Present Situation Decidedly Fav.
vOrable to Cotton Producers
lErom Tncsdny,s Daily.l

nfrom Tuesdays Daily.J
The present situation is decidedly fay
orable to cotton producers. About
threc-fourths of the present cotton crop
has been accounted for and the state of
the figures indicates an upward tendency
in the cotton market. The worlds Wis
IDLE supply, according to the latest rela-
ton is 4, 11S,13G bales, a decrease of cot
ton in sight compared with last year of
120, 10 bales, n decrease of 4S3,47S com
pared with 1891 and of 2J3,721 COM
pared with 1893. The estimate for the
crop of 1879 is now placed at 6,5O0,0 900
bales, being 100000 bales smaller than
the crop of 1893.
with this decrease in the crop the con-
sumption of cotton in England has in
creased very greatly. The strikes in the
milling districts have ended and the con
sumption per week is $4,000 bales more
than We're used in 1893. American con
sumption is also increasing, and many
new mills were built last year and others
viii be built this year. Particularly will
the consumption of cotton by Southern
mills be increased.
While the demand in Europe is ncreas-
ing the stocks in European ports will
not likely be exhausted. The producers
of cotton have brought the production to
point where the figures on cotton esti-
mates are based upon favorable terms to
them. and the present short crop has
about produced this state of affairs.
Now. what will they do with this adj
vantage they have gained after serious
experience? viii they strive to make
II yield counting up 100000 bales or
more, or will they stick to diversified
farming and food crops? The experience
of 1895 should teach them not to reckless
ly abandon the strong position they now
occupy and not TO give up other money
making crops for the sake of the glory at
tached to growing the biggest cotton crop
ever produced, and which will bring them
in debt
