WINTER CATARRH
In All Its Phases and Stages Cured by


They do so because they have learned
by experience ttha it is valuable med
icine.
Not only is it valuable medicine but
it is applicable to the climatic ailments
of winter and summer. Extremes of
heat and cold in the United States make
it land of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is more especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilated
sleeping rooms are the principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
bitter experience, that catarrhal dis
eases are not only the most numerous
of all other diseases put together, but
they are the hardest to cure.
Peruna is specific for this class of
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place. Thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of simply
a bottle. People who have spent large
sums to be cured of catarrh, have turned
to Peruna as a last resort, and been
cured by the use of a single bottle.
1t is sure cure for coughs, colds, la
grippe and catarrh in it's many phases.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is a prompt and
inever-failing cure.
Mrs. Sarah Jones, Pleasant Plain, Ia,
writes: al wish to acknowledge my ap-
probation Of the benefits received from
Peruna and Maralin in the treatment Of
what was pronounced systemic catarrh.
/ took Pe-una for a while and discon-
tinued tEc use of it as l felt SO much
better. The latter part of the winter
and early spriEE there was so much
sickness mere. an epidemic Of colds and
| pneumonia prevailed. had an attack
OF cold in catarrhal form, suffering with
facial neuralgia and headache, but con-
tinued taking Peruna and Manalin and
was soon restored without being pros
II trated with weakness"

the different phases Of catarrh and their
treatment, also "Health and Beauty"
written especially for women, sent free

Company, Columbus, Ohio.

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
The General Municipal Government
Bill Completed.

Manila, Jan. 1.-The Philippine
commission has completed the prep
aration of a general municipal gov
ernnent bill. The provisions, in many
respects, are similar to Gen. MacAr-
thurs order establishing municipal
governments and authorizing cleo
tions; but, they are much more elab-
crate, covering all details. The most
important new feature is the estab-
hshment of land taxation and doing
away with the sedula Cor head tax.
and taxation of peoples occupations.
A feature new to the Philippines is
that the revenue from land taxes is
to be expended where it is collected.
The manner of holding elections and
the duties of officers are prescribed.
A decision in the San Jose medical
college has been deferred until Sat
