THOMAS GAHAN."
There are thousands of people who do not
believe that catarrh can be cured The
reason for this u.s. they have had chronic
catarrh many years. They have been
taught that catarrh is a local disease. They
have tried to cure their catarrh with local
remedies. They have used sprays and gar
giles, inhalations and fumigations, and still
they have catarrh just the same. These
things sometimes help them temporarily.
but they soon relapse into their former
condition again.
The trouble with all this is, that catarrh
is not a local disease. 1t is a systemic
disease and can only be cured by the faith
full use of systemic remedies. Catarrh once
in the system, cannot be removed by using
local remedies. The very best that local
remedies can do is to assauge some disagree
able symptoms.
Pe-ru-na is a systemic catarrh remedy.
1t meets the enemy in its stronghold, within
the system. Gently and persistently it eradi-
Gates the disease from the system. Peru
ma is the only systemic catarrh remedy yet
devised which cures catarrh Up to date
there has been no other remedy that will, in
any degree, take the place of Pe-ru-na.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 24.-The court
OF appeals will render decision tomorrow
In the Nelson county contested election casa

pealed and argued before the whole court

torneys moved to dissolve the injunction on
the ground that the court had no jurisdic-
tion. The decision will have an important
bearing en- the final settlement OF the guber-
material muddle, as 1t is likely to embrace a
full review, not only Of the scope OF juris-
diction of the courts, but also as to the
powers of the state election commission.
The latter body has set no time for its
meeting ofiicially to canvass the returns. but
it is understood that meeting will be held

The suit of the State of Nebraska against
John T. Mallalieu to recover an alleged
shortage in his accounts when he retired
from office was dismissed in the district
court Of Buffalo county by the attorney
general. Mr.. Mallalieu was succeeded by
C. w. Hoxie February 1. 1897. The legisla-
