says:

began to feel better in every way.
1t helped rue in many respects. I
was troubled with colds, coughs, sore

taken your medicine I began to i'm
prove and soon got we'll. take
pleasure in recommending your great
remedy to all who are afflicted with
catarrh." M. H. McCord,
Ex-Governor of New Mexico.
1t is only a question of time and
persistence that the cure of nearly ey-
cry case of catarrh can be effected.
Pe-ru-na taken without interruption
long enough will remove every symp-
tom, when the cure can be relied on
as being permanent. 1t is advisable
for old catarrh cases to correspond
with Or. Hartman during the course of
their treatment. as he is often able to
suggest some detail of great worth to
the patient. All letters are answered
free of charge, and multitudes are
finding a cure in this way who have
failed to get relief elsewhere.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy
Auditor for the War Department, in a
letter written from Washington. d. c.,
says:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
one bottle of Pe-ru-na- Ono week
has brought wonderful changes and
am now as we'll as ever. Besides be-
ing one Of the very best spring tonics
it is an excellent catarrh remedy"

Deputy Auditor for War Department.

Colonel Hamilton, of the Seventh Reg

whose residence is at 259 Goodale

lowing about Pe-ru-na, Dr. Hartman's
scientific remedy for catarrh:
"I can bear testimony as to the
merits Of your remedy, Pe-ru-na. I
have been taking the same for some
time, and am enjoying better health
than have for some years. at
tribute the change to Pe-ru-na, and
recommend Pe-ru-na to every woman,
believing it to be especially benficial
to them"

The officers and members of the local
unions of the United Mine Workers OF
America held n secret meeting in CO.
operative hall last evening to discuss
the plans of furthering the organiza-
ton of mine workers in this vicinity.
National Organizer Benjamin James
delivered a spirited address in which
he pointed out the necessity of organ
ization in the Lackawanna valley at
this time, owing to the prosperous con-
dition of the coal trade and said that
unless the men are fully united they
cannot expect to receive the recognition
their cause warrants.
He urged upon them the necessity
of standing together and cited many
instances were the material interests
of the workingman are benefited by
organization OF the many hundreds
of mine workers in this region not
half of them are united and 1t is for
the purpose of enlisting the men in
this cause that these meetings are
being held. The local unions have a
large number Of men enrolled but the
object is to have all of them Join the
union.
The progress made by organized la
Dor during the past few years Is enor-
nous and there is a steady increase
in all branches of trade. The pow
der question which has received much
attention, and the company stores also
came in for a share OF Mr.. James re-
marks. The various features and BUSH
ness methods of the organization were
discussed and listened to with much
interest. The knowledge impaired to
the officers will be carried back to
the members and they in turn will
explain the advantages OF uniting with
the local unions to the men who are
still out of the fold
There was not as many men at the
meeting last evening as expected, but
those who did put in an appearance
were well repaid for having attended.
Other meetings will be held in the near
future.

IS CATARRH CURAbLE?
Letters from Joe Wheeler, Governors, Sena-
tors and congressman
PE-RU-NA, THE STANDARD cATARRH REMEDY
THE WORLD
PE-RU-NA, THE

Catarrh has already become a ma
tonal curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean 10 ocean. More than one-half
or the people are affected by 1t. 1t has
become such serious matter that II
mas passed the boundaries of the medi-
cal profession and become n national
question. Senators are talking about
II; congressman are discussing it;
Governors Te seriously considering the
subject. IN short. our nation is fully
aroused to the Importance OF the sub
1ect. They are not only considering
the extent and chro-'" nature OF the
disease. but the possibility of finding
a national remedy to meet this ma
tional calamity.
The following letters from men of
national reputation gives their opinion
OF the value of Pe-ru-na in cases of ca
tarrh: United States Senator Sullivan
from Mississippi. writes from Wash
ington n. c.:
81 desire to say that I have been
taking Pe-ru-na for some time for
catarrh. and have found il an excel
lent medicine, giving me more relief
than anything have ever taken"
W. ". Sullivan,
United States Senator from Mississippi.
DR.. Hartman. President of the Hart
man Sanitarium. devised the remedy,
Pe-ru-na, over forty years ago. and
the remedy as a catarrh cure has been
growing in favor steadily all these
years. 1t stands today before the ma
tion as thoroughly tested, accurate
ly scientific intern remedy for ca
tarrh. There are practically no medi-
cinal rivals in the field.
Hon. A. T. GOODWIN, Congressman
from Alabama. in a recent letter to Dr.
Hartman. from Washington, D. T..
says:
81 have now used one bottle Of Pc
ru-na and am a we'll man today. I
could feel the good effects of your
medicine before had used it q week,
after suffering with catarrh for over
a year" A. T. Goodwin,
Congressman from Alabama.
Pe-ru-na is not local application or
temporary relief; it is a permanent
cure. Pe-ru-na Is a systemic remedy.
1t eradicates catarrh from the system.
1t cures catsrrh wherever located. Its
cures are radical and lasting. There
fore, Pe-ru-na is receiving the endorse
ment OF the leading statesmen and his
tory-makers Of the day.
Major General Joseph Wheeler,
commanding the cavalry forces in
front of Santiago and he author Of
The Santiago Campaign." in regard
to the great catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na,
writes from Wheeler Ala:
"I join with Senators Sullivan,
Roach and NcEneTy in their good
opinion of Pe-ru-n1. It is recon-
nlendsd to me by those who have
used it es an excellent tonic and
particularly effective as a cure for
catarrh." Gen. Joe Wheeler.
