A CONSTANTLY increasing number of
n physicians prescribe Peruna in their
regular practice. 1t has proven its merits
so thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against so-called
patent medicines and recommend it to
their Patents.
Peruna occupies q unique position in
medical science. 1t is the, only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which affiict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one
half Of the people of United States.

EARLY MEXICAN PYRAMIDS
busi Are Described by an 81
Afchseolegtst.

4 Great archaeology cal value Is attached
to the discovery Of an ancient city~in
. remote portion Of the state Of Pueblo,
and in order to ASCERTAIN the exact Inn
port Of the find the federal government
has commissioned the subdirector Of
the National museum. r. Rodriguez,
who is one Of the foremost Mexican en-
gineers. to visit the ruins and make In
vestigations. says q special to the Phil
adelphia Press. DR.. Nicolas Leon, the
archaeologist and ethnologist Of the In
stitution, accompanies him.
DR.. Leon reports that the ruins have
never been known to the world Of SCI
ence and that they are the most primi-
tive that have been discovered in Mex
leo, and are, in fact, so ancient that 1t
will require great deal of time and
study to learn in what epoch they were
built as we'll as by what people. DR..
Leon has made the following state
ment in reference to the discoveries:
Z In q range Of small hills that extends
from north to south from the high neigh
boring mountains we find very nu-
1merous series of pyramidal construc-.
tions guarded by elaborate trenches and
connected, for the purposes Of communi-
cation, by wide avenues, which were set
on at intervals by sloping activities.
platforms and staircases All the pyra-
mids were found to bequadrangular.an and
TO have been built with especial REFER
ence to the cardinal points Those inn
portant monuments were constructed
entirely Of rocks ard sandstones cut
and laid in juxtaposftion. The surface
dressing of the pyramids is small stones
worked into cubfcal forms Of very orna-
mental appearance and laid close to-
gether.
GAS q rule, every four Of the pyra-
mids surround court. All of them
are SO grouped that each and every one
of them guards the entrance to the
courts. But II in any, case the entrances
are not protected, great walls with
bases much wider than their submits
reinforce the pyramids, These walls
are Of such sizes that their SUBMITS
are really streets. .fFl
"They are well paved with fiat stones
and have platforms, staircases and
sloping activities like the avenues. on
one of the highest of the platforms and
at the bases of all the pyramids we
found pieces of pottery which were cer-
tainly made before the time of Colum-
bus and which were evidently the re-.
mains of q. civilization relatively more
advanced than that of the builders of the
pyramids. ,i3ft ~3aa' II

scenes in bas7reliet Of prehistoric times.
Figures Of human beings and animals
in stone and iron were quite numerous.
Domestic utensils Of stone painted rose
color were scattered over the ground.

AMERICAN BANKING SYSTEM.
Democratic In Its Tendencies anS
Well Adapted to Needs Of
Vast Territory.

Ever since Andrew Jackson over
threw the Second bank of the United
States, the American banking system
has consisted Of a large number Of
small institutions possessing little de-
sire or power Of helpful cooperation.
Large banks with numerous branches,
such as exist in Canada and Scotland,
have been unknown. In the United.
States, save. for few transient en-
terprises Of ante bellum days, writes
Prof. Charles j. Bullock. In Atlantic.
A central institution. enjoying fed
eral patronage and serving to unity
banking interests, has been a political
impossibility since Nicholas Biddle
rashly ventured upon a trial Of
strength with the masterful statesman
from Tennessee. National banks,
state banks, private banks. trust COM
panies, competing vigorously for pub
lie favor, have met tolerably well the
needs of the country In fair weather.:
but in times Of stress and storm these
separate institutions have been unable
to oppose united front to the forces
Of financial disorder. Yet. upon the
whole, this decentralization Of bank
ing interests has been generally ap-.
proved as democratic in its tendencies
and we'll adapted to the diverse needs
Of our vast territory. 81 x
At the head Of the system stand the
national banks. which possess the ex-
elusive power to issue circulating.
notes. For 20 years following the
civil war this privilege remained SUM-:
GENTLY remunerative to gain for these
institutions decided predominance
over the banks Of deposit and discount
incorporated by the several states: but
since the early eighties causes which
are well understood have reduced the
profit derived from the issue of notes,
and have, decreased the attractiveness
Of federal charter. $3.50. In point
Of resources and banking power the
national associations still retain their
prominence. having nearly three
times the capital and over twice the
deposits shown by the state institu-
lions; yet banks Of the latter class are
increasing more rapidly than those Of
the former, despite the temporary In
duence of recent changes in the ma
tional banking laws.

At this period in the last century
