To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy. Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only Is 1t more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists. but it is
within the reach of every person in
this land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store. and is a remedy
without equal for catarrh in all
forms, coughs, colds. bronchitis, con-
sumption. and all climatic diseases of
winter.
Peruna is not guess, nor an az
pertinent; 1t is an absolute, scien-
tific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has NO
substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as well. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pc
runa.

A CLERGYMAN'S DISCOVERY.

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration of
Rev. E. p. Stevens, of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the Kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severe
ly with these complaints, inconti-
hence of the urine, making life bur-
den to him, but he never ceased ex-
perimenting in the hope that some
day he would discover a remedy.
After many failures he has at last
succeeded and is to-day perfectly
cured and a well man, and explains
that his recovery is due to the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy has
been successfully applied to many
cases of Lame Back, rheumatism,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other
Kidney Diseases, and there seems to
be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cure. This is the
only remedy that has ever cured
Bright's Disease.

The Wonderful Business
OF the Chicago Post Office

Next after Philadelphia post
Office comes Boston, and then
St. Louis. The volume of bust
ness done by the ST. Louis post
Office is greater than that of Brook
lyn, Cincinnati, Baltimore or San
Francisco. After San Francisco comes
Pittsburg and Cleveland and then
the Chicago board of trade sta
ton. This has already been account
ed for, of course, in speaking of Chi
cago as a whole; but it is introduced
here simply for the purpose of COM
parison. It's volume of business last
year was $780, 0O-nearly $4,000
greater than the business transacted
by the Buffalo post office; $4,000
more than the Detroit post office, and
S1s7,000 more than the city of Wash
ington post office. The volume of
business done by the Kansas City
post Office exceeds that of Washing
ton or Minneapolis. The Monadnock
station in Chicago did S65O,OO0 worth
of business last year, which placed
that branch ahead of the post Office
at Milwaukee. The postmaster at
Milwaukee receives a salary of $4,000
year. Reckoning upon the basis of
the amount of business transacted,
Chicago should have, at this rate, IL
postmasters, each drawing a salary
of 5000. The Chicago postmaster,
however, receives also $4,000 yearly
for his services. He has, on the other
hand, many assistants to take the
burden of the work from his own
shoulders.

Thrown from His Cab and
Killed

The following is most interesting and. in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
Eyes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and a good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see. who
gave me the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me- Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him bottle of
st. Jacobs Oil which had done him a lot
of good; he only used half the bottle. and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years. that /
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. WE'LL" said Pope. "You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle. but
before had used the contents of the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, was well man. There it is.
you see, after years of pain, after using rem
edles, oils, embrocations, horse liniments.
and spent money on doctors without get,
ting any better, l was completely cured in
few days. bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so | gave the bottle away to friend
who had a lame back I can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

dictate that post office employees have
enough to do to keep them out of
mischief In this connection it should
be said that the clerks whose bust
ness it is to throw letters make
one error to each 1880 pieces
handled; so il may readily be seen
that the post office is responsible for
only 81 mistakes to every LOCO. 900
pieces of mail handled.
The amount of second-class matter
magazines, periodicals, etc.-dailv
handled at the Chicago post office is
30 tons; and of third and fourth-class
matter 60 tons. The bulk of the lat
ter is the merchandise mailed to GUS
toners by the big mail order houses.
These great houses are also responsi-
bic for much of the increase in money
order business. This may readily be
seen by the fact that these houses
send out to their customers each wear
100000 blank money orders with in
Structions that all remittances should
he sent in this way. In former years
these houses suggested in their cata-
iogues a number of ways by which
money could be safely sent, almost
invariably ending the list with post
Office money order" Now they insist
that they do not wish to receive
money any other way than by post
Office order. The value of post Office
order is very apparent when it is con-
sidered that your Uncle Sam ALWAYS
takes the trouble to hunt YOU up and
make you take your money, if he has
any for you and you don't go after it.
Private companies do not always take
this trouble.

"ffice has increased about in
the same proportion. The post
Office officiaE have been ham
pered sadly because the space in
the old post office building on the lake
front is insufficient, as well as for
the reason that there are not enough
employees properly to take care of the
overwhelming influx of business.
In a word, Postmaster Coyne and
his 1000 assistants are having a .~igh
battle to keep from being showed I'M
der with epistles that Chicagoans and
their correspondents are writing, and
at the same time to keep the current
OF the new deluge of money order
business free from obstruction.
The worst feature of the matter is
the outlook ahead. If Chicago's mail
business continues to increase
at the present ratio, even the
mammoth new post Office build
ing, occupying an entire block,
Will be outgrown by the time it is
ready for occupancy. Postmaster
Coyne is credited with the statement
that the new building is even now too
small to be the home of the Chicago
branch Of the federal post office.
In the year 1899 the number of
money order transactions amounted
to 4,209,777! The money involved in
these transactions aggregated SOL
9S5,219.26. In 1900 the number of
money order transactions was in
creased by 67O,327, or 1879 per cent.
The money increase aggregated al
most $1O,OoO,ooO. At the present ra-
ito of 20 per cent. increase it is es-
tlmated by postal officials that the
volume of the money order business
Tor the calendar year of 1901 will
amount to $1OO,OOOOOO.
