the blood vessels leads directly to that most universal disease known as chronic cataTrh; and it is through this source that it effects its cures in all catarrhal diseases, whose name is leg.on, but nerves to their function, Pe-ru-na, there fore, Is beneficial in all cases of frregu- lar oar insufficient circulation of the blood. In its power to restore these nerves to their proper vigor it happens, fncidental- ly, that Pe-ru-pa cures chronic malaria. This is because malar.ai poison uniforms ly results fin destroying the functions of these nerves. But the action of Pe-ru-lla is a single one, although its curative ef- fects are exerted tn many conditions of the body which have been called differ ent names. It Is claimed for Pe-ru-na only that it restores the efficient action of the vaIsa-motor system of nerves. This is all it will do.

the reporter. who asked: "Have you any objection to sUating for publication your opinion as to some phases of chronic catarrh?"
 The doctor repHedi None whatever. What do you wish te asl17''
 Tt was in reference to the question as to the relation of the nervous system to chronic catarrh. It is not generally thought by the public that the condf- tion of the nervous syst m has anything whatever to do with chronic catarrh. I would like your opln4on on the sub- jedt.''
 pr. Summy replIedf "Well 1t would seem att first thought, that the nerves have nothing to do with the matter; but, on the contrary, the nerves have everything to do with this subject. The mucous membranes are made up almost entirely of a network of capillary blood vessels. These blood vessels are provided with elastic coats which allow enough blood to enter them, but also prevent too much blood from entering them. The elasticity of these vessels depends upon nerve force furnished them by the yasa-motor system of nerves. If these nerves become weak CHCu OI- dflS 1ilG Cdp.ltd4 OtoC their elasticity too much blood is allowed to enter the mucous membranes, and congestion of the membranes is the re- suit. This congestion is known as ca- tarrh. When long continued it is called chronic catarrh. As soon as the conges- tion has we'll established Itself much superfiuous mucous is secreted by the membranes. whach forms discharge of mucous. This discharge constitutes constant weakening drain upon the sys- tenn.

 First, we have the nerves, which cause fiabby capilarfes, which in turn cause congestion mucous membranes, known as catarrh; and finally produces the weakening discharge. Catarrh is not always produced in this way, but frequently. The circumstances may be exactly reversed.
 .'There may be. first. a. weakening drain, which gives 1ise to congesued state of the mucous membrane, which

because of the intimate connection be- tween the nervous system and the capillary blood vessels. Therefore, it is a fact never to be forgotten that no one can have catarrh long without being in danger of becoming nervous (even ner- Vous prostiration) nor can any one have weak nerves any length of time without being in danger of acquiring chronic ca- tarrh, as the direct result of weakness of the vasla-motor system of nerves. The nerves may be the cause and the catarrh the effect, or vice versa; the catarrh may be the cause and the weak nerves the effect Let us ask ourselves again, then. what have weak nerves to do with catarrh? Our reply would be: Weak nerves have very much to do with chronic catawll. They may be. the cause or the effect; but they are very sure to be one or the other"
 Docs tlfs answer your question satis- faotorlly?'
 "Entirely so.' the reporter replied I am sure you have made the subject so plain that any one could understand it. Now I would like to have you tell >ne what your internal treatment for chronic ca tarrh is at the Surgical Hotel'
 The doctor replied. ooh, suppose it is already well known that we use Pe- ru-na as our principal if not sole internal treatment for chronic catarrh. We have come to think that little else but Pe- ru-na is nseded in any case of chronic ca- tarrh, unless some organic change has become involved tn the diseased pro- cess"
 The reporter asked: But what is this remedy Pe-ru-na, doctor? Is it panacea for all the ills of life or what?"
 The doctor replied: 'I would prefer to have Dr. Foster, of our medical staff answer that question for you. It is more directly In line with his depart ment."
 The questions was repeated to Dr. Foster who answered.: "No, sir; Pe- ru-na Is not a cun'e-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.

Wo are Informed that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company has In ope-
ration an insurance scheme for the benefit
OF its employees. which has proven to be
very successful.
There are three branches. known re-
spectivcly as the relief feature, the saw
ings feature and the pension feature. The
relief feature provides benefits for men,
bcrs when they became disabled from ac-
cident or sickness and in case OF death
the benefit goes to the deceased's family
Membership In this is compulsory. each
and every employe being required 70 con-
tribute. and the company itself pays into
the relief fund 5000 per annum.
The savings feature is in the nature OF
savings bank. and deposits are received
Of not less than one nor more than one
hundred dollars at any one time The
main object Of this is 10 induce employees
10 own their homes. To this end loans
are made on property purchased and are
paid back in monthly installments. The
plan is much the same as that employed
by building and loan associations.
From a recent statement 1t appears that
the assets Of the savings feature have
grown from s4i2,Ss9 10 s47 S57 in the pc
riod from 1889 to 1885, the amount due to
depostors rising from 33555S TO Sslo,0i8
The total deposits during the first year.
1889, amounted 10 sli9.57G and during 1896
the amount deposited was s2B,94 Since
the beginning Of this department up to
June 30. 1896. the money lent to employees
amounted TO S1sSs, Oi6, which had been ex-
pended in building 9l6 houses. buying $50
houses. improving 1872 houses and freeing
from debt 4l6 houses.
The pension feature provides for faith
full employees who have been honorably re-
tired from ghe service. The company con-
tributes $4,000 a year to this cause, and
an investment fund has now been ac-
CURED. which receives an annual income
OF 1850. and the pension fund for annual
disbursement now amounts to about $780,
900.
1t would appear from this that corpora
lions are not altogether as soulless as they
are represented to be. We have before
mentioned the fact that some OF the rail-
road companies have been encouraging
their employees to purchase stock in the
company, and we note a growing tendency
on the part Of corporations to inaugurate
the system OF proft-sharing with en-
ployes. This may be the salvation Of the
corporation problem
