SANITARIUMS.

The principal remedy he relies upon in
such cases is Peruna, which every
woman should have, who has any affec-
tion of this kind.
In view of the great multitude OF
women suffering from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, DR.. Hartman, the renowned
gyn@cologist, has announced his will
lingness to direct the treatment Of as
many cases as may make application to
him during the summer months with
out charge.
The treatment will be conducted by
correspondence. The doctor will pre-
scribe all medicines, applications, hy-
gienic and dietary regulations neces-
sary to complete q cure. The medicines
prescribed can be obtained at all drug
stores. This offer will prevail during
the summer months. Any woman can
become regular patient by sending a
written statement of her age, condition
of life, history and symptoms Of her de-
rangements.
All cases Of female diseases, including
menstrual irregularities, displacements,
alterations, infammations, discharges,

tennial picnic was enjoyed here by a

distinguishable. Even land in Canada

marks that the magnificence of the
scenery is very infrequently surpassed.

concern over the disaster to the Fifth
regiment, 200 men of which were frozen
to death in Amori province, sending his
personal representatives to the scene
with messages and presents for the sur
vivors and money for the relatives of
the lost. A court of inquiry has been
organized and most searching investiga-
ton is to be made.

still meager but 1t is reported that while
the passengers and crew to the number

damaged that she will be a total loss.
Japan, America and England are uni
ted in an anti-Russian policy in regard
to the new Manchurian convention. Rus
STA agreed to China'S demand that size
evacuate Manchuria, but stipulated for
certain mining privileges along the line
of the East China railway and over the
whole OF three eastern provinces. The
above mentioned dreibund warned China
that if she yielded this concession they
would demand equal privileges, so it is
reported here that China is on the horns
of a dilemma and the new Manchurian
convention hangs fire.
There is an evident desire on the part
of the government to suppress the loot

involved. Baron Kodama Gentaro, min
lister of war. is said to have been de-
sirous of prosecuting the loot investi-
cation and to have therein run up
against the premier. At any rate the
baron has resigned his portfolio, pro-
