Catarrh.
Coughs and

AS the skin covers the outside OF the
body, so the mucous membranes line the
inside. Every organ, every duct, every
passage, every cavity Of the body, is
lined by mucous membrane. These mu-
cous membranes are liable from various
causes to become irritated or inf1amed.
When this occurs it is called catarrh,
and catarrh may be located in the head,
nose, middle ear, throat, bronchial tubes
or air cells of the lungs, liver, bowels,
kidneys, bladder, provocative and urt-
nary organs. Wherever there is mu-
cous membrane, there catarrh may be
also.
To be sure, CatarEh Of these various
organs has been known by different
names; that IS, Cafarrh Of the SfOniaCk
has been called dyspepsia, Catarrh OF
the kidneys, BrighfS Disease; catarrk
Of the bowels, diarrhea Or dysenfeU:
caEarrh of the prOCreatiVe organs, fee
male trouble, and SO on, and SO on.
But our claim IS, that these are ali one
and the same Catarrh-and
that our remedy, Peruna, Is applicable
TO CaEarrh OF all Of these various Or
ganS.
Peruna is not "cure alp" 1T cures juss
one disease-catarrh. But since catarrk
is able to fasten itself within the differ
ent organs of the body, so it is that PEE
runa cures affections Of these organs.
But we insist that Peruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal, scientific remedy for Ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that Ca
tarrh is a systemic disease; that is to
say, it invades the whole system. We
claim that Peruna is systemic remedy;
that is to say, it eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh Is not local dis
ease; Peruna is not local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system, only
a systemic remedy can reach it. Thisiss
in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease-catarrh-o reL1 8dy, Peruna.

many who are aware Of bis great
wealth, his extensive interests, the &C
cumulatIOn OF his properties, his rise
from slave boy IL 1865 to his present
afHuence in 1901.
The story reads like the conjuratior
Of magician. Yet it is no myth. It i;
story Of fact, and the substance OF
this mans wealth Is to be found al
over the city.
Long before the Civil War there was
born into slavery near Holly Springs
Miss q child whose natal circu instances
and whose early experiences were such
that it is doubtful if the grown man
now know his own age It's parents
were slaves. When this child ap
preached the age of usefulness it found
itself the property of Captain G. B
Church, who in those days w&s one ot
the navigatOrs OF the Mississippi. The
lad was put to work in Capt. Church's
steam boats, in the kitchen, cabins OIL
wherever such yOungsteT could Ee
made to earn is keep. His ex peri( n ceF
on the river were many and varied. On
March "a 1866, he was cabin boy aboard
the Bulletin No. 2. large sidewheel
Memphis and New Orleans packet,
loaded with 900 bales Of cotton and 9
engthy passenger list When near
TransyIvania Landing, La. the boat
took fire in mid river 1t as steered
for the shore, the fl ames making rapid
headway. When it's nose struck
the shore the cabin boy and &
few others of the passengers and crew
Leaped ashore. But only few were &c
fortunate, for the steamboat sheered Of
into the river with its panic stricken
human freight, and the loss OF life
either by fire. or water, was trightful.
The memory Of this holocaust is pre-
served by Robert Church in the shape
of an oil painting for which he paid a
small fortune, it having been made
u OOn a special commission from him
by a celebrated artist. The painting
hangs in his residence on Lauderdale
street.
The young slave was not taken from
the river after this experience. HI
was brought up to the business, and
ten years later found him sic ward ot
the Victoria. It was the year in which
Memphis was occnpied by the Feders
troops. The Victoria took on a cargo q

was in command OF the boat.
Young Church found him Elf within
the Federal lines, a free man, He wa

enjoyed the advantage of having haC
experience as trader while employed
as steamboat steward, and he lost n
time in applying himself on his OWL
account. He devoted himself rOvictual

which he was familiar. He was fruga
and thrifty, without being close. Hi
early accumulations he invested prud

DR.. George J. Aagnr, of the homeo-

theory that the mosquito is an instru-

deeply into the matter said he. but

so that the danger is also reduced in
this way. And again. in the case of
the transference of the yellow fever
germs, scientists state that it is only
a certain species OF mosquito that car
ries the disease. and every mosquito
that stings is not necessarily of the
particular kind that is capable Of car
rying baciIli. These things taken in
to consideration, it seems not i'm
probable that the theory may be cor
rect, and that at the same time, the
spread of the disease through this
means is not necessarily rapid or
wide. This is a matter that should
turn their attention to the dread dis

ticularly as regards the propensities
