~ ATARRH Of the head. nose and throat
~ are very frequent. These victims
crowd the Offices OF catarrh specialists
in vain. Mr. Chas. c. Roe once belonged
to this unhappy class. A course of Peruna
entirely cured him.
There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about concern
Ing catarrh. The first is that catarrh
is the most prevalent and Omnlpresent
disease to which the psople In the
United States are subject. All class es
of people have it Those who stay
indoors much and those who go OUT
doors much. Working classes have
II and sedentary classes have II.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever present foe. II compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called upon
to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on which
all doctors agree is that 1t is difficult 10
cure It, Local remedies may give relief
but they fail to cure permanently. Sprays
or snuffs lmount TO little or nothing except
20 give temporary relief
Catarrh is frequently located in internal
organs which cannot be reached by any sort
OF local treatment All this is known by
every physician.

edy which would reach catarrh at it's source

PATENT MEDICINE is FATAL

KEARNEY, Neb.. Feb. 20.--(special Tele-
gram byron. the 5-year-old son Of Mr..

this morning under peculiarly distress
ing circumstances. Last Saturday the child,
who had been ailing, was given a dose If
patent medicine which acted upon him as a
violent poison. He was given the proper
dose, but 1t seems that the condition he
was in caused the medicine to act as 1t
did and the little fellow soon developed
ell the symptoms induced by a violent vege-
table poison.
DR.. Hoover was at once summoned and
did all that could be done to counteract
the effects OF the drug. but his efforts were

When court convened this afternoon Judge
Good overruled the objections OF the de-
fendant and said in part:
THE question raised is that Mr.. Derby
has for years had experience with firearms
and their use that he and others made tests
with thirty-two caliber revolvers in the en-
CINE room. Forty shots were fired from re-
volvers, long and short cartridges, rim and
center fire and different kinds Of powder.
Various witnesses have testified that Mrs
Lille made statements as to the position
Of the man that did the shooting. The bull
let found in Mr.. Lilies head was a thirty
two. The evidence goes to its weight rather
than to les consistenc-."
Counsel for defense cross-examined the
witness. c. W. Derby. on his use Of Are
arms, cartridges and their effect. at the
conclusion of which defendant renewed the
objections to the witness showing to the
jury the lace curtain upon which tests we're
made. Objection overruled.
Witness here identified the lace curtain
used in making the tests and exhibited the
same to the jury. explaining the results OF
the different tests made and the nearest
of the powder burns similar to the burn on
the curtain in the Lille window was pro-
ducel with a long hve-inch barrel center
I FIRE gun, short cartridge, semi -smokeless
