that Douglas had been a third class Of

nOunclng also that for 1902
the figures are for six months instead
of year Tombstone. therefore, has
not grown as much as it was credited
with, but it has, nevertheless, made
splendid advancement
Lastly Douglas is so proud of her
self she imagines everybody else is
jealous of her and that by this over
sight reflection was intended. The
facts arc that all Arizona is as proud
of Douglas as she is herself and only
wishes there were a hundred towns in
the territory doing as well, for the av-
erage Arizonan is territorial boomer
and none of the towns are large enough
to shake. off their commemorative and

The above map has been carefully COM
piled from United States m by The
Peruna Medicine Company Of Columbus
Ohio. The figures were taken from the
latest mortal statistics published by the
government and entirely agree with the
archieves kept at the Hartman Sanitorium
The figures Of each state represent the
total number of deaths from catarrhal dis
eases during the last census year.
This Is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the tact
that catarrh has become a national
curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the
life of our people. Ovsr one-half of
the people suffer from some form or
degree of catarrh. Fully thirtysfive
million people are personally interested
In the discovery of a radical catarrh
cure. Peruna Is the main expectation
in this direction. Peruna is an internal,
systemic Catarrh remedy. Its cures
are SO prompt and permanent that It is
attracting world wide attention.
From Every State In the Union.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh are con-
stantly pouring in from every state in the
