Hon. B. B. Doviner. Congressman
from West Virginia, in letter from
Washington, D. c., to The Peruna Med

catarrh remedy, Peruna:
Il join with my colleagues in the

mending your excellent remedy, Pc
runa, as good tonic and also an eff
fective cure for catarrh.'
Mrs. Mary c. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: II

and medicine has cured me OF chronic
catarrh. l have had no pains in my
head since l have taken Peruna-

Peruna stopped my catarrh of the heed

I am very thankful for DR.. Hartman's

Peruna is specific for all catarrhal
diseases. 1t acts quickly and bene-
ficially upon the inflamed mucous
membrane, thus removing the cause Of
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh Is essentially the same every
where. The remedy that will cure ca
tarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations. \

ORCHID DRINKS wlrH HOSE.


Plant Whiclt Takes Drink of Water
when Thirsty.
What is probably the most singular
plant ever discovered has been found
by e. A. sdyerkrop OF Philadelphia
Mr.. suverkrop has for some years
been making Journeys to South and
central America, where he has search
ed for rare orchids and other plants.
The amazing orchid which has now
been found by him Is plant which
takes a drink of water whenever it
ceels thirsty by letting down tube
into the stream beneath 1t. The tube,
when not in use, lies coiled up on top
of the plant. One hot afternoon Mr..
Suverkrop sat down to rest beside
lagoon on the Rio de la Plata Near
by was forest of dead, shorn trees
which had actually been fchoked to
death by orchids and climbing cactus.
I, In front OF him and stretching out over
the, warm waters of the still lagoon
was a branch of one of these dead
trees. The branch was about foot
above the surface of the water, and
rioting upon its decaylng wood were
orchids and cacti, the plants which
had caused its death. Here and there
were clusters Of the common .planta
del ayre," and twining all around it a
network of green cacti. Among the
orchids was one different from the
rest, which Immediately caught MIR.
Suverops attention. The leaves were
of the shape of a sharp lance head.
They grew all around the root and
radiated from it. From the center or
axis of the plant hung a long, slender
stem about one-elghth of an inch in
thickness and one-quarter of an inch
wide. The lower end of this stem was
in the water to the depth of about
four inches. 1t was unlike any orchid
Mr.. Suverkrop had ever seen or heard
of, and he went nearer to examine his
discovery. He touched the plant,
when, to his surprise, the stem which
had been in the water gradually con-
tracted and rolled itself up in coil
on the top of the plant. 1t was tube
and as 1t rolled itself up it deposited
the water, which had been taken in
by the part of the tube submerged, on
to the roots of the plant. The discov-
erer now watched the plant, and found
that when 1t was thirsty 1t let down
| its hose into the water and dipped up
fed, when the tube remained coiled up
| like hose until 1t was time for the
orchid to take another drink. Gener-
