American Securities Abroad.

The sales Of American securities have
been according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. Ii this state of things
holds. there will be All increasing influx of
British gold into this market. This dem
0nstratrs the faith abroad in the stability
of our credit. There is another point of
faith for which the people not only of this,
but foreign countries have good ground for
credence, and that Is belief in the efficacy
of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic
maladies which affect the stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia,
biliousness, constipation and rheumatism
are conqured by 1t. 1t hastens GONZALES

The two most critical times in a wOman's
life are the times which make the girl w0-
man, and the woman mother. At these
times. DR.. Pierce's Favorte Prescription is
of incalculable value. 1t strengthens and
invigorates the organs distinctly feminine,
promotes regularity of the functions, allays
irritation and inflammation, checks un-
natural, exhausting drains, and puts the
whole delicate organism into perfect condl-
ton. Almost all the ills of wOmankind are
traceable to some form of what is known as
'female complaint" There are not three
cases in hundred of woman's peculiar dis
eases that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tior will not cure.

Otto Carmichael, the reliable Washington
correspondent of the Detroit Journal writes:
IL had long talk with Senator Mcmillan
this afternoon, and he seems to think that
the question is growing bigger. He thinks
that Spain will put up but little of a fight on
this side of the sea. He thinks that she has
abandoned Cuba, and will only insist upon
blockade and bombardment of Cuba and
then let us for time do as we please with
the island. He thinks that it is most likely
that there will be but slight struggle at
Porto Rico, and possibly none. In his
opinion Spain will retire to the other sldel0f
the sea, and then say If you want to do any
thing in the way of fighting come over here
and do it. On general principles we might
say that we did not want to fight after tax.
ing care of Cuba, and that it was all ended,
but il she issues letters OF marque and Eu-
rope did not insist upon no privateering,
Spain could keep up the war on our COM
merce until we went over there and made
her stop. That would necessitate our taking
the Canares, and perhaps we would have to
lombard and reduce Barcelona and other
coast cities. That might turn into a pretty
big jop."
The month of April, 1898, has taken its

The Most Favorable Season

To cure catarrh is in the spring. During
the winter the patient is likely to take fresh
cold andhave set back, but If treatment is
begun In the spring and continued into the
summer, nothing need be feared for the sue
ceeding winter. or course it all depends
on the medicine. There are great many
catarrh medicines which relieves the most
disagreeable symptoms temporarily. Peru
ma cures more slowly but also more per-
mainly than this class of medicines. A
course of Pe-ru-na during the spring will
cure catarrh more quickly than at any other
season. Mr.. Walter II. Tucker, Concord,
N. H., writes DR.. Hartman as follows:
"When began taking your medicines four
years ago was suffering with chronic ca
tarrh. had taken nearly two dozen bottles
of so-called catarrh cure without much re-
lief. Pe-ru-na cured the night sweat and
dizziness; it cured the cough / have had
from the cradle; l can say it saved my
life."
DIR. Hartman has published in book form a
series of lectures on various phases of chron-
ic catarrh, which he calls"Winter Catarrh."
This book will be sent free to any ad-
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company. Columbus, Ohio.
