The fact is that Peruna has overcome all op-
position and has its way to the hearts OF the
people. The natural timidity which so many peo--
pie have felt about giving endorsements to any
remedy is giving way. Gratitude and desire to
help others has inspired thousands Of people to
give public testimonials for Peruna who hereto
fore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals Of medicine has it
happened that so many men Of national and inter
national reputation have been willing to give un-
qualified and public endorsements to Proprie-
tary remedy. No amount of advertising could
have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won
on its own merits Peruna cures catarrh of what
ever phase or location in the human body. That
is why it receives so many notable and unique en-
dorsements.

FARNHAM'S STATEMENT.
Public Administrator Farnham made
the following statement last night:
Il was invited to meet the Finance
Committee Of the Board of Supervisors
this afternoon TO examine a report sub
mitted by Mr. Hassel to them and to
give my opinion of its contents as af-
/ fecting the conduct of the office of Pub
lie Administrator.
''The report, as far as IL relates to
the Office of Public Administrator,
runs back for about twenty years, and
is in effect a lame apology for the
thousands of dollars paid to Mr.. Has
sells concern during the last six
months or more. 1t is replete with
the opinions of Mr.. Hassell, in which
he criticizes the office of Public Ad-
ministrator as useless, forgetting that
this is a matter for the Legislature
alone. The report proceeds in terms
Of glittering and malicious generalities
to charge the various Public Admins
traitors and their attorneys since 1880
with having been overpaid.
In this connection he refers to GER
tain estates which have been probated
during the past twenty years and as
sumes to state facts in each case, and
he in effect states that the Judges who
have audited and allowed the accounts
of various Public Administrators,
myself included, have violated their
official duty and official oaths, and
have ordered payment in excess of the
value of the services rendered by us.
To support his assertion he has picked
out such insignificant and trivial facts
from the records as suit his purpose,
and while not giving the full facts in
any case, he has presented a garbled
statement of facts, which when read
can only deceive and leave false i'm
preston on the minds of the reader.
ALLEGES INJUSTICE.
"The manner in which these garbled
statements of facts are presented is a
gross injustice, not only to me and my
predecessors. but to the Judges who
have audited our accounts ard deter
mined the value of our services, upon
evidence submitted under oath. The
report to this extent bears evidence of

a vain attempt to show that the thou
sands paid to Mr. Hassell from the city
treasury in the last six months have
been of some value to the city-which
they have not.
His report also rehashes the asser-
tion that he made six months ago that
there is $1277 so due to the city from
my office. He artfulIy endeavors to
make it appear that this is due from
me personally, whereas any one fanil-
lar with the administration of estates
knows that if due at all it is due from
the estates in my charge and not from
me personally.
1T may be proper to remark here
that the law, as written in section 1741
of the Code of Civil Procedure, governs
the payment of fees into the county
treasury from the estates in the hands
of the Public Administrator, and ex-
pressly places the services of the va
rious officers, myself included, at the
disposal of the Public Administrator
until such time as the assets and estate
come into his hands.
Under this section it is plain that
nothing has to be paid to the County
Clerk until there is something in the
estate with which to pay. yet Mr.. Has
sell, with great assumption of legal
knowledge, asserts that the law as here
written is not a law, and that the
Judges and County Clerks and Public
Administrators in this and other coun-
ties who have for many years (accord-
ing to his own admission) followed the
law as expressed in section 1741 have
been really violating the law.
CHALLENGE ISSUED.
1.-The contents of this report as far
as the statement of any facts are con-
cerned is really too trivial and absurd
TO demand any notice, if it were not for
the fact that the manner in which it is
prepared and pt esented, taken in con-
nection with the unsupported assertions
of Mr. Hassell, is calculated to deceive
the public"
Douglas Young, in charge of the work
of the Hassell Audit Company at the
City Hall, made the following statement
last night:
IF Mr.. Farnham or any other Public
Administrator that preceded him will
permit an examination of his accounts,
under the direction of The Call or any
other San Francisco daily newspaper,
we will make the examination without
cost to Mr.. Farnham, to any of his
predecessors or to the city, provided
that a report of the result of the ex-
animation be made public through the
press.
This statement is made because of
the public utterances of the Public Ad-
ministrator to the effect that the Grand
Jury had exported his books and found
them correct. and that he challenged
