Peruna is applicable to catarrh of
any mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruna is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness of the mu-
cous lining of every organ of q woman's
body is well known TO physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, SO few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude Of women have
found Peruna an indispensable remedy.

1T Is pretty clear that in capital
case no lawper will soon follow the
example established by Attorney
Weeks in refusing 10 make a defense.
What Weeks did. or rather what he
contemptuously declined to do may
have been sincere. But 1t bore the as
pect Of a bluff. 1t was certainly nervy.
But there is nothing i'm the outcome of
the case to Justify IL as piece of

lawyers az a feature of practice 10 be
adopted in critical case. Doubtless
the Jury. as the public, was dumb

be Frequently quoted by politicians TO
show how he would have stood on the
questions which are just now OF SUI

sure he would believe. he would never
have thought. or declared, that his
country was going the road to ruin
because II was not going his way. Only
very little minds take such an extreme

would have been found, II defence had
been made IN the usual form Of calling
