Dr. Hartman, the Famous Gyn1coIosls
and Inventor Of Pe.ru.na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum.
mer Months.

America is the land Of nervous
women. The great majority OF nerve
GUS women are so because they aresuf-
fering from some form Of female dis
ease. BY far. the greatest number Of
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way OF recov-
cry is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is. the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out Of one hundred
are nothing but catarHh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.

When Miss Wylde first frightened
the dull city warehouse with her

the lady's left hand was unadorned
with jewelry of any description, and
the general jealousy that arose in
the matter of paying her attentions
must have been highly gratifying
to the lady's vanity. She accepted

DOCTORS AND INSURANCE.
The American Professors Relation
to the Employers of Medical
Service.

& The greatest single employer of med
ical service, and one, we urge, which is
not sufficiently or rightly valued by us,
is the life insurance company, says
American Medicine. The largest COM
panies have on their lists Of active
examiners as many as one-third of the.
practitioners of the country and small
er companies may have 10000. There
IS hardly a medical man that is. not
or that has not been employed by the
insurance companies. The benefit ex-.
tends to the humblest and youngest
through the beneficial and assessment
organizations, and there are few men
$50 busy that they do not welcome po-
sittons with the largest companies.
Several million dollars year, at least
three, is certainly not too high an es-
innate of the income to the American
profession from this source. This fact,
it may be incidentally noticed, should
give pause to those who advocate rival
companies limited to policies Oh the
lives of physicians. Moreover the best
companies pay good fees, not seldom
higher than does the private patient,
and they pay 100 per cent: Of our bills
promptly, and in cash. The positions
thus held by medicalmen are often Of,
social, professional and financial adj
vantage to the examiner We are not
nnmindful Of the fact that the pro-
fession as rule gives its quid pro quo.
Without our services, the results Of
scientific research. and zeal, the finan-
cial affairs Of the insurance compa-
MES would not be SO prosperous, and
at all times the companies are depend
ent upon our special knowledge for
this success. The queries to which all
this leads up, however, are these: In,
the first place, are we, as profession
rightly and sufficiently cognizant of
our obligation and advantage in this
matter? Not, we do not hesitate to
reply, SO long as we do not specially
and better prepare our medical stu
dents to meet THE peculiar demands
to be made upon them. There should
be in every medical college some spe-
cial lecture courses designed to give
the special instruction required of the
life insurance examiner. Some Of the
questions in examinations by the col
lege, and by the state boards should
be framed with this in view. Second
", are those members of our profess
sion who are examiners giving back to
us results Of their examina lions? They
have splendid opportunities for re-
search, tabulation of statistics, and the
formula tion OF. valuable conclusions de-
rived from the rich clinical material
placed at their disposal. Some good
work of this kind has been done, but
as a whole the scientific contributions
of the medical examiners of life in
surance companies are deplorably
wanting in unity and throughness.
The companies may rightly ask of US
proper recognition and preparation
for their special work, and we may
as justly demand Of them more SCI
entific, statistic and literary work as
evidences of their social obligations.

They were met at Butler by Butler county officers. and Friday afternoon they overlook the fleeing trio, who were driving in a stol- en sleigh on a road near Butler.
 Seeing that flight was out of the question. the Riddles turned their horse and faced their pursuers The pursuing sheriffs and detectives were In two double team sleighs The latter jumped out and opened fire on the des- peradoes, who returned the fire Ed Riddle soon fell, shot five times. and John Riddle was riddled with buck shot.

WATERBURY DEVASTATED.
Property Worth Over RS.OoO. 900 De
 atroyed by Fire.

Property worth Over kS>OOO.OOo De
 atrOyed by Fire.
 Fifteen acres of business blocks burned. a hundred families homeless and property loss variously estimated at from 2,Oo0.OOO to $4.0oooOo is the fearful record of confiagration which starting shortly after 6 o'clock on Sun day night. laid waste the business heart of Waterbury, Conn.
 The territory inclosed by Grand, Leavenworth, South Main and Spring streets is almost entirely a mass of ruins On these blocks were the most elaborately built and the most impor- tant business concerns in the city, dry goods houses, hotels. newspaper offices, hardware, shoe. jewelry stores and blocks of modern flats Hardly one of them has survived the fearful ordeal. Here and there a narrow building stands untouched. but all else Is heap ed on the water soaked ground, black ened and charred and indistinguisha- bIe.
 Around this devastated area stand block upon block of newly built apart ment houses and stores. saved from Ike ruin only by the heroic efforts of the firemen.
 The fire started in & gas explosion on the second floor of the Reid & Hughes department store in Bank street A forty mile gale was blowing from the west, and before the fremen had a mo- ment's notice the flames swept across Bank street and licked up as by magic the tan office building on the other side. The flames spread with remarkable swiftness to the great business blocks south and north, taking in the section thickly built up. and in three hours a score of landmarks were wiped from the map.
 Hurry calls for assistance were tele- phoned to New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport. Naugatuck and Torrington, and by midnight special engine com panies from these cities were on hand and fighting the flames shoulder to shoulder with the Waterbury compa- nieS.
 The fire was considered under con- trol at 2:30 q. h., but at a. m. the ia nous old Scovil House caught fire, and in an hour there was nothing left of this well equipped hotel except charred and cru1nbling walls All Monday morning the firemen fought to keep the red hot embers from spreading the hlaxe. and it was only Monday after noon that final assurance was given by Chief Snagg that the danger was past.
 The authorities are investigating the report that the flames in the Reid & Hughes building were discovered si- multaneously in the basement and on the third floor. In the Scovi1 House the flames were discovered in half a dozen places at the same time. Man ager Truman is convinced that the work was that of firebug.
 No Loss of life has been reported.
