CONGRESSMAN BOUTELLE'S
! CONDITION.
Fall statement BY DR.. cowies OF the
Mclean Hospital.
nrrc1aL -o zee rnNsAI


Washington, Dec IA The exact con-
dition Of Congressman Bou5elIe's health
has been matter Of conflicting reports
ana deverse opinion. Now, in connection
with the movement TO place him on the
retired list Of ths navy, full statement
has been made in writing by DIR. Edward
Cowlss, Superintendent Ct the Mclean
Hospital, Waveriey, Mass. 1t is as fol-
lows;
"Mr. Charles A. Boutslle has been o
patient in this hospital since December
"a, 1899. His mental disturbance, disor-
der OF speech, ETC., are symptomatic OF
brain disease associated with chronic
renal and cardiac LESSONS. The first
attacks OF mental confusion and SPEECH
disorder, before entering the hospital,
were probably due 20 thrombasis fob
brain; there have been slight recurrent
attacks Of like character, but none within
the last three or four months.
There has been o decided improve
ment in the mental oondition-the delu-
sional ideas and approximations lesssning
In intensity, and their later recurrence
becoming much milder In character.
Although the speech defect has gradually
improved, there NAV be no further gain
in this regard but while It continues 20
be troublesome, more SO, at some times
than at others, the patient Ia always In
telligent in the expression Of his own
thoughts and In his understanding Of
those OF other persons, except for the re-
manning mental disturbance, which at
times becomes aggravated ~ has been
stated.
1.-THE course OF Mr.. Boutells's illness
having been as above indicated, its future
progress depends upon that of the renal
and cardiac disease, and further cerebral
changes At the present time the indics-
tions are not so favorable as formerly for
degree OF recovery of which there has
appeared reason for being hopeful; but
his mental Improvement is likely TO con-
tinue and he may be expected to become
we'll enough to return to his own home.
In my opinion he should never resume
the cares OF active life nor undertake any
business responsibility, and he may live
but a few years"

Catarrh is welI-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to
cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its
victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh,
but prevents it.
