ARE CATARRHAL !
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-nas Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured arc
| sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.
Mrs. NJ. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va,
writes: 81 had catarrh all through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. Twas advisad to try Peruna and
/ have taken five bottles of it and am
well and better now than / have been
for years. I can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part of the body to
take Peruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before began to
take Peruna was sick all the time, but
now I am entirely cured, and all praise
| is due Peruna."-Mrs. M. K. Bousch.
| Catarrh of the Nose.
! Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
o severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
| Catarrh of the Throat.
3. II. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes:
ct suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. I was induced to try
Peruna. I have used five bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. H. Runyan.
| Catarrh of The Ear.
| Mr.. Archie Godin, 1888 Beech street,
| Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
| sPeruna has cured me Of casaTrh of
the middle ear. feel better than have
for several years" -Archie Godin.

that instead of increasing, the coal sup
ply is diminishing.
If he said, the miners would do
as Mr.. Mitchell says, the supply would
be increased, but none of the producers
except the Reading Co. are producing
as much coal as formerly
When Charles l.. Hall of Baltimore,
was asked TO name the mine owners
from whom he makes his purchases, he
declined to give the information. Mr..
Hall expressed the opinion that the
short supply is due largely to the rail-
roads, most OF which are short of mo-
tive power
Eenj. H. Reed of Baltimore, declined
to state the price at which he supplies
bituminous coal to w. J. Zeh, q local
dealer. in connection with his contract
to furnish coal TO the treasury build

Beauty-Making Food.

"The best of all beauty-making foods
are fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. =
said Prof. H. w. Wiley, the famous Gov
eminent chemist who is incidentally a
skilled physician. They contain relative
ly little nourishment-a woman could hard
ly live on them exclusively for any length
of time-but for reasons which as yet are
imperfectly understood, they possess ex-
traordinary value as health givers. II
you want bright eyes and clear complex
ion, eat plenty of them"
The fact is that most fresh vegetables
and fruits are nearly all water. Spinach
is o2 Ia per cent. water cabbage is seven
ty-seven per cent. water. carrots are nine
ty-one per cent water, caulihower is ninety
one per cent. water cucumbers are ninety
six per cent. water, egg plant is ninety
three per cent. water, onions are 70 Ia
per cett. water, tomatoes are ninety-six
per cent water, green corn (cut from the
cob) is 81 IL per cent. water, and celery
is % Ia per cent. water Fruits are
pretty nearly all water, though the banana
is relatively rich in starch.
Fruits and vegetables, then, are of nc
great use in supporting the human body
Their value is mainly medicinal. and as
beauty-makers they are the chief among
foods. 1t is almost impossible to eat toe
much of them in a fresh state. though, Of
course, the diet must include reasonable
proportion OF those substances, such as
meat, which furnish blood and muscle
