CONSUMPTION CURED.
Chronic Gatarrh of the Lungs, Or
dinariIy Called Consumption.

Pe-ru-na cures catarrh even after it
has reached the air-cclls of the lungs.
A recent cure of this kind was reported
by Mrs. II. A. Tyner, Four Oaks, n. c.
In recent letter to DR.. Hartman, she
says: II will write few of the parti-
culars of my daughters sickness She
had every symptom OF consumption
cough, suppression of menses, night
sWeats and great enaciation She was
SO low that none of our neighbors
thought she cot d live She could sit
up only little while at a time got
bottle Of Pe-ru-na, began giving it
TO her, and in twelve months she
seemed as well as ever in her life I
feel, and SO does every one that knew
about her sickness, that Pe-ru-na saved
her life. My daughters name is Mrs
L. Keene."
If consumption was universally re-
garded as catarrh of the lungs, and
treated as catarrE would be treated,
located anywhere else, it would lead to
greater number Of cures

chronic catarrh will be sent free for a

called to order at 9:30. Prof. Conway Mac
MILAN, of Minnesota, was elected chairrnEn,
and Prof. c. H. Barnes, of Wisconsin, secre-
tary. The meeting opened with an informal
conference. The opening movement of the
business was to indorse fully the agreement
passed at Chicago last year, known as the

been suggested; one change in rule, one
barring men who leave one college to enter
the graduate professional department of
another, until six months residence has
been made. In rule nine. it is expressly sug-
gested that the so-called athletic association

school, terms are not barred.
Casper Whitney, at the invitation Of several
OF the delegates, called at the Palmer house
after the session and was invited to visit
several OF the universities represented, and a
desire was manifested to discuss the charges
he had made. Mr. Whitney expressed him
self as disgusted by the reports of his inter-
ference with the meeting He said he had
given no invitation to dinner to the delegates
Friday night, but had extended them an in
vitation. to luncheon today, from a desire to
meet them personally and unite in a campaign
for the publication of athletics. The limited
time between sessions rendered it impossible
for his invitation to be accepted.
