It is generally pronounced by them to 30

sensation In medical circles when Dr..

vised a compound which would cure ca
tarrh permanently. The remedy was
named Pe-ru-na, and in a short time
became known to thousands OF catarrh
sufferers north, south. east and west
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc

to pour In from all directions. Thous-

office of the Peruna Medicine Conn

BOARD TO MEET.
VIII Consider Sta cmeuts Wade by d Ware
housc-Tobaccn Notes.

a special called meeting Of the Board
Of Managers OF the Richmond Tobacco
Trade viii be held tomorrow at noon
for the consideration OF the accuracy .of
published statements made by one of the
warehouses concerning its loose tobacco
sales of Friday.
The warehouse In question is Shell
burne's, conducted by Messrs. Dickinson
& Shelburne The statement referred to
was prepared by the warehouse. was sent
to one Of the afternoon papers, and was
printed. A large number of the papers con-
tanning the notice were purchased by the
warehouse and sent abroad. 1t is over
this report that the trouble has arisen.
In the cold print and as it was under
stood to do by a large NUMBER of the
tohacconists here this statement went
forward to show that at Shelburne's
Warehouse Friday was sold a large
break of tobacco amounting to $4,000
pounds, or little more, at an average
price of S12.52 per 100 pounds.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Dickinson.
one of the proprietors Of the warehouse,
declared that he had not meant the re-
port OF his sale to be taken as meaning
that he received the hish average on
sl2.52 on his entire crop but only on the
sun-cured part of It, which is far from
being the major portion. The story
he said. was written in a hurry and was
not intended to state things which every
body knew to be incorrect. When he
said "a large break of loose tobacco"
he meant the sun-cured.
