er OF Ely stating that the members OF
the State committee Of Nhite Pine
lately called a meeting at which a fun
Democratic county central committee
was elected. For the first time IN
eight years White Pine has a local
Democratic organization.
There are a few other counties
which have no county committees but
the secretary OF the State committee
has written 10 the local members.

hand and the responses have been
SO favorable. that the probabilities
are IL: party will be thoroughly or

cations are that the Silver and anti

year Will NC lol hnNCL AAG OSpiSCS

party Of the nation, OF winch William

leader.
Nearly all Of the intelligent and

NIT that this is the only logical course

committee at its meeting on tive 5th

never thought Of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard OF Appen-

clean out the system and stop fermen-

action of the liver, stimulate the nervous

is using it for catarrh OF the stomach,
and by her physicians advice is taking
1t with very best results. I know by
personal experience of its value, and
gladly give it the highest endorsement.
Mrs. Robh Maher.
Systemic catarrh is that condition of
the system produced by reflex irritation
from the pelvic organs. In the female
the catarrh may be of the womb or
bladder, as well as the rectum, which
has been fully described in the book on
pelvic catarrh, entitled "Health and
Beauty" Insystemic catarrh the lungs,
heart, bowels, stomach, kidneys and all
other parts OF the mucous membrane are
in fiabby, unhealthy condition. This
is due to want of nerve supply on
account of nerve weakness.
The constant drain of nervous vitality
depletes the whole nervous system and
the mucous surfaces suffer accordingly.
This is the condition called systemic
catarrh. 1t very nearly resembles, and
there is really no practical difference,
between this condition and the condition
known as neurasthenia, or nervous
prostration.
Pe-ru-na will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases of
systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly and
beneficially on the diseased mucous
membranes, and with healthy mucous
membranes the catarrh can no longer
exist. "Health and Beauty" sent free
to women only. Address DR.. Hartman,
