Hundreds of Dollars Spent In Vain---Pe" ru-na Cured.

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death. Itis more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease. There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seri onsly de- ranged by neglected cold. Diseases of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of a neglected cold.
 Hundreds of dollars are spent on doe tors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, butuntil the true cause of them is discovered, there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhna medi- cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Equal Rights is the subject the
Doctor has chosen; subject that
might lead one to imagine he was
touching on the dangerous Woman $

the case.
Equal rights in love, Liberty and

it is needless to say that where the
question of love enters in the doctor

BOGUS PENNIES.
New Ycrk's Subtreasury Discovered
$4,000 of Them in 1901.
SECRETARY.

In the minor coin division of the
United States Subtreasury in New
York of $4,000, 600 pennies received
there in 1901 over III, 600 We're counter
felt. OF the 49, 026, 900 received in
minor co1ns--nicKels, three cent pieces
and pennles-$1, 1871 was in counterfeit
pieces and pennies Although the
Baltimore Subtreasury has no record OF
the amounts of coins detected here
because of the fact that the United
States Secret Service men collect all OF
these coins from this city and take
them to Washington for experimental
purposes and for the purpose OF detect
ing whether or not any new counter
feits are being circulated, 1T is known
that but comparatively few spurious
coins find their way into the local office
of the Treasury.
About Is, 600, 900 pennies are handled
by the local Subtreasury each year,
and of these a remarkably small per-
centage have been found to be OF no
value. 1t was stated at the Sub
treasury yesterday that the principal
trouble, as far as countefeits are con
cerned, has been with nickels. Not
more than about 500 of these are re-
ceived in year, and receipts OF pen
MES have been proportionately less.
The man accustomed to the work
spots bad penny in the fraction OF "a
second. Counting at a speed almost
too fast for the unframed eye to follow.
he seldom, if ever, misses one that is
off color or that lacks the sharpness OF
outline in the modelling of genuine
one
The expert however, is seldom able
to tell you what are the things that
mark for him a particular coin as
spurious His senses are so highly
trained to the work that he dit
ferentiates and chooses almost instinc-
lively. 1t is merely matter of unre-
hitting vigilance and long experience.
