 ment had finally given up hope of being cured.
 She had tried physician after physician, | and remedy after remedy without any
 permanent improvement
 Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man, hundreds of dol l lars. They had been obliged to deny them 1 selves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians.
 The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were grow ing up neglected and ragged, because Of the want of a mothers care. Her hus- band was becoming discouraged and brok- en down with overwork | Picking up the paper one day she hap pened to read an item which contained l the news that pr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him afl her symp- l toms.
 She soon received letter telling her exactly what to do and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment 0he principle remedy being Peruna) at once, and In few weeks she , was well and strong again, able to do her own work.
 This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may need the services of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential
 Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemasse Council of Red Men CWomens Branch), writes from Sz Eighth ave. New York
 Three months ago I was troubled with backache and a troublesome heaviness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest for 1t was a restless sleep. The doc tor said my nervous system was out of order but his prescriptions didn't didn't seem to relieve me. I was told that Pe- runa was good for building up the nervous system. After using it for two months l know now that it is. I want to say that 1t made a new woman of me. The tor turing symptoms have all disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken"
 ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Loui- siana, writes:
 "I sincerely believe that Peruna is. wo- mans best friend, for it has certainly been that to me. I had had headaches. backaches and other aches every month for long time, but shortly after I began taking Peruna this was thing of the past, and have goodsreason to be grate- full. I take a bottle every spring and fall now and that keeps my health per- feet, and I certainly am more robust now than have been before and am weighing more. I do not think any one will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna"
 MISS MAMIE POWELL
 IT you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis

GERMANY IS CHEERFUL.
Russia Says She Will Keep Strictly on
 the Defensive.

Berlin. october H.-The German govern ment takes a cheerful view of the Russo Japanese difficulties. Russia has con- veyed assurances to Germany that she will keep strictly on the defensive, even if Japan occupies Corean ports in force.

 The impression that might be derived from the foregoing definition of Russian policy, it Is pointed out here, is that the negotiations are nearing end favorable to Japan. But the Associated Press is informed that while the result of nego- tiations are pending, precautionary mill itary preparations on both sides are go- ing on.
