II TONIC Is medicine that gives tone
II to some part Of the system. There
are different kinds Of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is so prevalent, is q
tonic that operates on the mucous men,
branes.
Peruna is tonic to the mucous MEM
branes of the whole body. Tt gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is a specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. 1t is q
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fbres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the hid
den parts of the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta,
Ga, says:
I "In January last 7 began the use Of
your Peruna and Manalin for what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
time I could scarcely walk to my place
Of business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
Had severe pains in my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle Of
Peruna began to improve and today I
feel that am a sound man and work
fourteen hours day without any bad
feeling. Paul Landrum.
A. NJ. Ikerd, an employee of the G. B.
& Q. r. r., West Burlington, Ia, writes:
"I had. catarrh of the stomach and
small intestines for a number of years.
I went to number of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one Of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that had cancer of the stomach
| and there was no cure. L almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. I could hardly stand it, it was
so offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and I gradually
grew worse.
"Finally got one of your books, and
concluded would try Peruna, and thank
God, found relief and cure for that
dreadful disease. I took five bottles Of
Peruna and two Of Manalin, and L now
feel like a new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle
in my house all the time."-A. NJ. Ikerd.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

AVER MEASURE
IS NOT VALID
Physicians Claim Enactment
Creating Board of Medical
Examiners Is Too Liberal
LEGAL ARGUMENTS HEARD
Supreme Court Reserves It's De-
cisiOn Pending Thorough
Consideration of the Case

The Supreme Court took under con-
sideration yesterday the question as to
the validity of the law providing for
State Board of Medical Examiners.
The arguments Of both parties to the
dispute were presented at length and
the case was ordered submitted. An
opinion will probably not be handed
down for several months.
About fifty similar cases az pending
in various courts OF California. DR.. G.
r. Gerino is the defendant in the test
suit. Ex-Justice Garoutte is appearing
for the contestants and Charles Wheel
er for the Board of Examiners.
DR. Gerino was arrested last August
for practicing medicine in San Fran
cisco without a certificate from the
State board. The matter is brought to
the attention Of the Supreme Court on
a petition for writ of habeas corpus
1t is argued by the defense that sec
tion of the act creating the board IS
unconstitutional because it gives dis
criminatory power.
The members of the board may arbi
trarily grant or refuse a certificate TO
practice, no matter what credentials
the applicant may present. 1t is held
that the Legislature has no right to
delegate such power. The act provides
that the board may giant certificates
to those holding diplomas or licenses
from certain classes of institutions with
or without examination.
1t is asserted by the counsel for the
defendant that the law should give dis
cretionary but not discriminatory pow
er. 1t is also claimed that the board,
having more alopathic than homeo-
pathic and eclectic physicians as mem
bers, may decline to grant certificates
to certain classes of medical practition-
ers. Through the alleged invalidity Of
the section in question 1t is claimed
that the whole act is unconstitutional.

yesterday. During the progress Of the
suit of Mary Morris against II. P.
Umbsen, as executor of the will Of

grew hysterical and disturbed the
peace and quiet of the courtroom by
yelling and screaming at the top of
their voices They stopped only when
the court bailiff led them from the
room and took them to the Emergency
Hospital for treatment.
Hanna Holmes, a witness for the de-
fense, was the cause Of the dis
turbance. During the course of her
testimony she said that the claim of
Mary Morris for pay for services as a
nurse alleged TO have been rendered
during the last two years OF her
mothers life was not just one.
"She never nursed Mrs. Morris. "

sister Cora helped her out with the

the bud by all the attorneys concerned

Morris, clerk Of the court. They
grabbed the excited women and rushed
them toward the door, where Cora
turned and, throwing her arms in the
air, yelled again, following the scream
with a loudly and dramatically uttered
curse upon the Judge and others.
