Pe-ru-na Cures Case Of Five Years STANDING.

winch all doctors agree, is that it is diff
ricult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure perma
nently. Sprays or snuffs amount tC
little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter.
nal organs which cannot be reached BY
any sort ofilocal treatment. All this ia
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal REM
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the system-this has been the desire OF
the medical profession for long time.
Forty years ago DR.. Hartman confronted
this problem. He believed then thst he
had solved it. He still believes he has

TRAINMEN EXPEL
DETECTIVE SPY

Denver, May 30.-In the convention
of the Brotherhood OF Railroad Train
men Thursday, E. l.. Weiant, who ap-
peared as a delegate of lodge No. of
Chicago, was openly accused of being
a spy. While the excitement among
the delegates was at fever heat he
was searched and declared to be
guilty. Only the example of Grand
Master Morrissey saved the men from
offering violence. He was taken to his
lodgings, where he surrendered his de-
tective star and his notebooks and
papers. He left Denver at o'clock.
From the beginning of the conven-
tion Weiant had been in Denver. He
is said to have worked for the Colo
RADIO & Southern and the Illinois Cen
trail, and to have been a member in
good standing in the Chicago lodge,
where his real business was not sus-
pected. He became engaged to Thiefs
detective agency Of Chicago. but it is
not known for how many years he has
acted al spy over his companions.
1t Is stated that Weiant was under
suspicion from the day he reached the
clay. and that Thursdays exposure is
only the result OF careful planning Be-
ing given the assurance of safety he
was arraigned before the convention.
Grand Master Morrissey called the
meeting to order and stated that he
would hold every delegate personally
responsible for what might follow.
After an Intellectual denial. Weiant
admitted everything and was taken I'M
der guard to his room at the Grand
Central hotel. There he was photo
graphed. His expulsion from the
brotherhood followed his exposure. His
description will be sent to all the
lodges in the United States, Canada
and Mexico
