"sCRIPTURAL COMMENTS"

This is the title of a new book re-
Gently issued from the presses of the
Charlotte Observer, by Rev. John G.
Troy, of the Western North Carolina
conference. During the year 1897, Mr..
Troy contributed a series of bright and
helpful religious articles to the Obser-
yer. They have been collected and now
appear in permanent form. Mr.. Troy,
who Is now residing at Jenesboro, has
been forced to retire from the ministry
because of bodily malady, which, the
physicians say, is incurable. His object

cause OF the intimate connection be-
tween the nervous system and the capil-
larry blood-vessels. Therefore, it is a
fact never to be forgotten, that no one

nervous prostratiOn), nor can any one
have weak nerves any length of time
without being in danger Of acquiring

ourselves again. then, what have weak
nerves to do with catarrh? Our reply
would be: Weak nerves have very
much to do with chronic catarrh. They
may be the cause or the effect; but they
are very sure to be one or the other"

Entirely So" the reporter replied.
/ am sure you have made the subject
so plain that any one could understand
it. Now / would like to have you tell
me what your internal treatment for
chronic catarrh is at the Surgical
Hotel"
The Doctor replied: ooh, I suppose
it is already we'll known that we use
Pe-ru-na as our principal if not sole in
ternal treatment for chronic catarrh.
We have come to think that little else
but Pe-ru-na is needed in any case OF
chronic catarrh, unless some organic
change has become involved in the dis
eased process"
The reporter asked:s ''But what is
this remedy Pe-ru-na, Doctor? Is it
panacea for all the Ills of life, or whatp

to have DIR. Foster of our medical staff

Foster, who answered: mo, sir: Pc
ru-na is not cure-all Nothing
Of the sort is claimed for it; indeed
there is no such medicine. Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located in
the body by the specific action on
the vasa-motor system of nerves.
These nerves control every blood
vessel of the body, regulating ex-
actly the amount of blood which is
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-11-21

Congestion OF the blood-vessels leads di-
rectly to that most universal disease
known as chronic catarrh and it is
through this source that it effects it's
cures in all catarrhal diseases, whose
name is legion, but whose nature is one.
In restoring these nerves to their func-
ton, Pe-ru-na, therefore, is beneficial
in all cases of irregular or insufficient
circulation of the blood. In it's power
to restore these nerves to their proper
vigor it happens, incidentally, that Pc
ru-na cures chronic malaria. This is be-
cause malarial poison uniformly results in
destroying the function of these nerves.
But the action of Pe-ru-na is a single
one, although its curative effects are ex-
erted in many conditions OF the body
which have been called different names.
1t is claimed for Pe-ru-na only that it
restores the efficient action OF the vasa-
motor system of nerves. This is all it
will do. This is all that we claim it will
do. But we insist that if it is taken per-
sistently and according to directions,
that it will do this. But in doing this
what vast multitude OF disorders is
mitigated, not because Pe-ru-na Is
cure-all, but because so many maladies
depend upon a single cause. Pe-ru-na
is single in its effect.
GAS the revulsive treatment, we use
only cold, salt water as a gargle This
application, gargled in the peculiar way
described in our books, will effectualy
prevent catching cold. The day has GER
tainly come when catarrh can not only
be cured, but entirely prevented"

FARMERS SHOULD SOW WHEAT
(Chatham Record.)

The farmersof North Carolina ought
to sow all the wheat they can this
month. Not only is the present price OF
wheat better than the price Of cotton,
but the prices of futures" are much bet
ter for wheat than for cotton. For in
stance, cotton futures for next May (six
months from now are quoted in New
York at less than half cent pound
more than the present price for ''spot"
cotton. This means that dealers in cot
ton think that the price OF cotton next
May will be very little more Qess than
half cent? than it is now. And wheat
futures" for next May are quoted in
New York at little over ninety cents a
bushel.
With wheat at ninety cents a bushel
and cotton at five and a half cents a
pound, every farmer can easily decide
which viii pay him best.

The Denver Daily mining Record
has the following to say about lis
from the pen Of Judge j. d.
W hltham:
The series of letters being sent in by
Judge Whitman, correspondents Of the
Record in Now Mexico, contain much in
teresting information about our southern
neighbor. While it has been considered
largely a silver section, its gold resources
promise to be no Insignificant factor. THE
is particularly true Of placers, though the
latter are somewhat neglected on account
of lack of water and inferior appliances
for saving gold. 1t seems as II there
would be room for several OF the improved
Bennett amalgamators, which use but q
fraction of the water required for ordi-
nary hydraulic operations, besides making
a much cleaner recovery Of fine gold.

Speaking Of this work in hand, the

The matter Of the appointment of post

for certain men as applicants and the board
needs these petitions, the patrons OF the
Office who sign these petitions are respon-
slble. Where there are several applicants
about equally Endorsed, of course the board
exercises Its own discretion. THAI the
Territorial and county organizations
should have a voice In the selection Of

of the republican party at heart, are acting
accordingly and have so far been remark

LAST evening, THE OPTIC had some
thing to say on its local page about the
nefarious and naughty habit of follow
ing young ladies on the streets and to
their homes and calling places, in
broad daylight. Now there is another
timely matter that may be preached
in this connection-that of flirting.
The first question a man asks when he
sees a girl flirting, is whether she is
respected or not; such bad practices
raise q doubt at once. This beng the
case, 20 modest girl can afford to in-
dulge in the pastlme. When thu
down is brushed from the peach, its
beauty is so married that it can never
be restored, and when a girl throws
lightly aside that sweet and modest
reserve SO becoming to a maiden, and
which so elevates and enables her to
command the respect of all, she loses
her best charms and becomes rather
cheap and common, to use no rash
terms. Flirting may seem to the giddy
and th~oughtless girl wonderfully anus
ing, and she may get the idea she is
fascinating, but it is a most degrading
thing. and should be frowned upon BY
every young lady who has ambition
to become a worthy and charming
young woman.
