Miss Helen Murphy a popular So

truly, Helen Murphy.
At least two people out of three
sometime during the winter months
have a cold more or less severe. Very
few, indeed. escape entirely. Although
a cold is not often directly fatal, yet
it is the most productive source of
inCurable diseases that is known 20
the medical profession. A cold is the
most frequent. the most dangerous,
the most neglected i'll of life.
The treatment of a cold ought 10
begin with the appearance of the first
symptom. Whether the cold has set
tied in the head and produced catarrh
or deafness, or settled in the throat
and produced enlarged tonsils or
hoarseness, or settled in the bronchial
tubes and lungs, producing cough or
asthma, or in the pelvic organs. Pc
! runa is the remedy.

OUR TRADE WITH SPAIN.

Commercial relations between the United
States and Spain have been fully restored. The
figures Of the treasury bureau of statistics Ior
the fiscal year 1900 show that the exports from
the United States TO, and imports into the
United States from Spain in the fiscal year 1900
were larger than in any other year since 1893
and within few hundred thousand dollars OF
the highest record ever made in the commerce
between the two nations. Exports from the
United States to Spain in the fiscal year 1909
were Sl3S90,6s0, against SlO,9l2,745 in the fiscal
year 1897, the last full year preceding the war;
while the imports into the United States from
Spain in 1900 S5,95OO47, against 81, ,63l, ,973
in the fiscal year 1897. The only years of the
decade 1s00.l000 in which the commerce between
the two nations was as large as in the year just
ended were 1891 1892 and 1893, when the ex.
ports to Spain averaged about Sl3 35OO,O 900 and
the imports from Spain about S5,5OO,OOO annually

Mrs c. II. Buck, 1923 Douglas street,
Omaha. Neb., writes:
IT have used Peruna and can
cheerfully recommend it as being
the best remedy for catarrh and gem
eral debility that have ever used"
Yours gratefully,
Mrs. G. H. Buck.
The symptoms of catarrhal debility
are: a tlabby, pale condition of the
mucous surfaces, with a sticky, stringy
mucous secretion, which causes much
hawking or coughing, coated tongue,
white specks in the back part of the
throat, and very red, ragged appear
ance of the tonslls.
Besides the usual symptoms of ca
tarrh, the patient has brown specks
before his eyes, slight dizziness, roar
ing in the ears, attacks of nervous
headache, palpitatiOn of the heart,
flashes of heat, followed by slight
chilly sensations, faintness, depression,
dependency, fOrebOdings, foolish
fears, and many other similar ones
In such cases local treatment can
do nothing but harm. Peruna has
again and again been found of great
value in these cases. The first dose
gives prompt relief to the most dis
tressing symptoms, and a persistent
use of 1t for a reasonable length of
time will permanently cure cases of
long standing.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
during the hot season is a safeguard
of priceless value. CataTTh cannot be
cured by local treatment. A thorough
course of internal treatment with Pc
runa affords the only reasonable pros
pect of cure. Sprays, douches, inhal-
ants and gargles sometimes relieve hut
never cure. Peruna cures by remov-
ing the cause. 1t gradually eradicates
the catarrh from the system.
