FOR THE FEMININE EYE.

The Englishwoman's Year Book for
1903 states that there are in the United
Kingdom 297 doctors, of whom 50 are
in London and its suburbs alone. In
India there are 124 English medical
graduates. in China 20, and they are
also praetieing In Sydney. Perth. Cape

The dowager duchess of Newcastle,
mother of Lord Francis Hope, and one
of the richest heiresses of the realm,
makes her home by choice in dingy
tenement in the Whitechapel slums of
London. She says it does her good to
be reminded of the sad side of life, and
she continually labors TO relieve the sor-
rows of the poor around her.
Eugene Mccarthy, who is only %
years of age, ran for the assembly in
New York last fall and was elected. This
was largely due to the efforts of Miss

devotion has its reward. Miss Goodwine

along with the sultan of Sulu. But we
lay claim TO them, not because this
Sulu sultan has spiritual power over
the Mohammedans in some islands
without the Sulu group, and even over
Mohammedans residing in British
North Borneo, but because of two trea-
ties; the first, treaty between Great
Britain, Germany and Spain. wherein
Spain was given title to all the islands
Outside marine leagues distance G.
the Borneo coast; the second treaty
referred to the one between the United
States government and the sultan o
Jolo. in which agreement was mad
that all the islands coded to Spain by
the treaty of 1885 should belong to the
United States.
The seven islands recently visited by
the United States gunboat are unques-
tionably out of the marine league limit
of this treaty and authorities declare
the British have not a shadow of claim

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach IS Generally
Called Dyspepsia. Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin. Pancreatin and a Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which is
Really Catarrh.

Tx. u. S. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
l. South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, ID. c., says:
81 can recommend PerHna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for short
period and / feel very much relieved
IL is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. "---M. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leagesthe stomach to perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia thar all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Perunacures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat CT
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as we'll in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply n remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because 1t Is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
