by the latter in effecting this removal

the good faith of the explanations for

ject to catarrh.
Catarrh of one organ is exactly the
same as catarrh of any other organ.
What will cure catarrh of the head will
also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs.
Peruna cures these cases simply because
it cures the catarrh.
Most Of the women afflicted with pelvic
diseases have no idea that their trouble
is due to catarrh. The majority of the
people think that catarTh is a disease
confined to the head alone.

COMMENTS UPON LETTERS.

A supplementary report is appended
to the original, embodying considera-

Mr.. Tulloch." These accusations are
considered in detail and the conclu-

The supplementary report also gives
consideration to a letter from former
Postmaster General Smith to the

are made on the original report, and

"First-That a thorough investiga-

Of the Washington postoffice. (b) of
the administration of the New York

this recommendation has already been
in great part and purposes altogether

are not. at the moment of preparing
this report, fully informed as to the
scope Of the department inquiry now

it, We have been very favorably i'm

and deem them fully competent, under
the supervision Of the Fourth Assist

'Second-That a carefully chosen,
