A PASTORS WIFE q, s SIs a'1 81
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
less Cured by
Peruna.

MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recen,
lVl superintendent OF the w. G. T. u
headquarters, at Galesburg, Ill, was
for ten years one of the leading women
there. Her husband, when living, was
first President of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In letter written from 401 Sixty-seventh
street, w, Chicago, Ill, Mrs. Fleharty
says the following In regard to Peruna:
Having lived a very active life as wife
and working partner Of busy minister
my health failed me a few years ago. /
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually l seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of an
invigorator.
zone of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was in7mediafe-
y secured and a great change took
place In my daughters IS well as in
my own health. Our appehfes i'm
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep
soon improved US, SO that we seemed
like new women.

ten times its cost. Mrs. Anna b.
FIeharfy.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic cararrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause OF most cases OF
female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

The WORLDS supply o. GOLD.
Some Interesting Stat stiles as to the
yellow Metal


Yellow Metal.
II has been reckoned that in the de-
posit Of clay on which the city OF Phil
adeIphia now stands there is sufficient
gold to gid the fronts OF ali tie build
ings in the place. There the amount
is SO small that 1t has no more pros
pective value than that contained in
the sea water. Thus, while 1t may be
said that wherever a person may be on
the surface OF the earth, or on the
ocean, there is likely to be enough gold
within mile OF his feet to make him
a millionaire, the places where gold
can be won at a profit are relatively
few
The most important increase that Is
to be looked for in vein mining arises,
however, from the rapid improvement
IN the modes Of applying power to such
work. The gain in this regard in the
last half century, through the inven-
ton of the power drills, more effective
explosives, better hosting systems and
more efficient methods of treating the
ores. is such that. on the average, IN
terms of labor, it probably does not, at
present, cost one-third as much &c
mine and treat given amount OF ore
from underground mines as it did IL
1850.
Making no allowance for future i'm
proyements in mining, we may evil
IDENTIFY expect very great and rapid
increase in the annual supply Of this
precious metal from the betterment al
ready effected. AS to the extent Of this
gain, there is no basis for q trust
worthy reckoning; but those who have
some idea of the amount Of gold bear
ing veins which can, with skillful min
ing, be made to yield profit at the
present rate Of interest, will probably
be disposed to agree with me in the
opinion that, at anything like the pres
ent price of labor, the yield from this
group Of deposits is likely within 20
years to exceed $500. 600, 900 per an
mum.
