When the victims of acute catarrh
escape all of the aforementioned liza
bilities, there remains the great proba-
biIity Of its ending In chronic catarrh.
1t is beyond the descriptive powers Of
language to portray the peculiar misery
Of subject of chronic catarrh. While
these patients do not suffer the acute
pain of rheumatism and neuralgia, or
the INDISPENSABLE anguish of diseases of
the nervous system, yet 1t would be
very difficult to over-paint the picture
of woe which usually befalls the sufferer
from chronic catarrh.
It would be, indeed, folly for one to
describe in detail this exasperating dis
ease unless one had in view some relief
or cure of those people who are so unfor-
inmate as to be afflicted. 1t is no longer
n question 40 to whether Pe-ru-na can
DO relied on to cure all such cases. Dur
ing the many years in which Pe-ru-na
has been put to test in all forms and
stages of acute and chronic catarrh no
one year has put this remedy to greater
test than the past year.
Peru-na is the acknowledged catarrh
remedy of the age. DR.. Hartman, the
compounder Of Pe-ru-na, has written
book on the phases of catarIh peculiar
TO women, entitled " Health and Beauty"

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Steamer P D. Staggs Struck Snag and
 Rapidly Sank.

Nashville, Tenn., February "A special to the American from Johnsonville says the steamer P. D. Stages, loaded with stock and produce, which struck the Tennessee river bridge last night, tearing off her stacks, pilot house and upper works did not blow up or burn, and all on board bare ly escaped death by drowning.
 The boat rapidly filled with water and sank. When one mile below Johnsonvil.e e the water was a foot over the boiler deck Captain Jones placed his wife, two men of the crew and two women in a skiff and landed them on raft tied to the west bank of the river. Two skiffs were immediately sent back to the sinking boat and passen- gers and crew rescued. Fog and drifting snow added to the misery caused by the intense cold The night was spent on the raft, where there was plenty of fuel and good fires were kept burning. Skiffs sent from Johnsonville this morning to render assistance, brought the party to this place at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Most of them took passage on the steamer Clyde, which passed down at D. m. for Paducah.
 The rescued report no lives lost far as can be ascertained, and it is not believed any one was drowned.
 The loss Is estimated to be near s35.000 The Staggs was owned by Douglass Jones' Mt. Vernon, Ind, Lee Howell. Evansville Ind, and B. H. Givens, St. Louis, and fully insured.

Per haps you have thought that you could never get home-that your income is too small, and that such an investment would be away beyond your means Let us see: What do you pay for rent every month? How much would that amount to in year? How much in six years? At that rate, how long would it take you to pay for home? Now. if you really want a home. "The Ala bama Home" is in a position to help you immensely in the matter. You can get the money to build on time and pay off the loan in monthly installments, the payments being but little more than you now pay for rent. Rent receipts are not assets Sup pose you were to die, would you not rather leave your family house and lot than a handful of rent receipts? Of course you would. Come and talk to me.
