About Diamond carats.

We talk of a diamond being so many
carats in weight. The carat was orig
inally the seed of the Abyssinian carat
flower. These seeds are very equal in
size, and so were at one time used in
weighing gold and precious stones.
To-day the carat as applied to gold
means simply the twenty-fourth part
of the weight of any piece of gold or
of alloy of gold.

al RELY UPON
PE-RU.NA FOR
ALL CATARRHAL
DISEASES"


the United States. During my long life I
have known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, Catarrh and diarrhoea. I
had always supposed these affections to be
different diseases. For the last ten or
fifteen years I have been reading Dr.
Hartman's books and have learned from
them one thing in particular That these
affections are the same and that they are
properly called catarrh.
AS for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna,
have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
1t has been my standby for many
years and attribute my good health
and my extreme old age TO this
remedy.
1t exactly meets all my requirements
have come to rely upon it almost entirely
for the many little things for which need
medicine. 1 believe it to be especially
valuable to old people. although have no
doubt it is just as good for the young. +"
