WHAT HE REGARDS
AS THE REAL ISSUES.
1.-The real issue before the people Of Mis-
souri,. which has been forced by RepublI-
can SANDER. Is the question Of whether
the Democratic party has given to the
State OF Missouri a wise. businesslike,
economical and honest administration OF
its affairs. This will be the paramount
State issue in the next campaign. Demo-
Gratis and honest citizens irrespective of
party will take the affirmative. Republi-
cans will take the negative. The affirma-
tive of this issue will not call for indorse-
ment Of those officials who have proved
themselves to be dishonest or corrupt
Where Democratic officials have proven
corrupt. the issue will naturally be. as to
these. whether the Democratic party will
seek to renominate or place them back in
official life. Other issues of lesser impor-
tance but which nevertheless will demand
metropolitan police system. election laws,
and the alleged 1oOting of the school fund
These are the questions which have thus
far been raised by Republican politicians

Personally, I would have my party go
before the people with aggressive declara-
tons on the subject Of labor, good roads

THERE are two things that the whole
. medical profession agree about con-
cerning catarrf The first Is that catarrh
is the most prevalent and omnipresent
disease to which the people in the United
States are subject. All classes Of people
have it. Those who stay indoors much,
and those who go outdoors much. Work
ing classes have it, and sedentary classes
have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
stant and ever-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he Is called
upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
! which all doctors agree is that it is diff
cult to cure. Local remedies may give re-
! lief, but they fail to cure permanently.
Sprays or snuffs amount to little or moth
Ing except to give temporary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in internal
organs which cannot be reached by any
sort of local treatment All this Is known
by every physician.
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the syStem-this has been the desire Of the
medical profession for a long time. Forty
years ago Dr. Hartman confronted this
problem. He believed then that he had
solved 1t. He still believes he has solved
it. He cures thousands Of people annual
ly. During all these years Peruna has
been the remedy upon which he has relied.
1t was at first a private prescription,
him in large quantities. This remedy. Pc
runa, is now to be found in every drug
store and nearly every home in the land.
1t is the only reliable internal remedy ever
devised to cure any case of catarrh, how
ever long the case may have been stand
ing.
