Recovery After Years of

public butrestored health has meant
so much tome that feel for the sake
of other suffering women it is my
duty To tell what Peruna has done
for me.
Il suffered for five years with
uterine Irregularities, which brought
on hysteria aud made me a physical
wreck. | tried doctors from the diff
ferent schools Of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair | called on
an old nurse. who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised good resultsit
lwould persist and take itregularly.
thought this was the least 1 could
do and procured a bottlc. | knew as
soon as began taking it that it was
affecting me differently from any
thing had used before. and so kept
on taking it. | kept this up for six
months. ar steadily gained strength
and heatth, and when | had used
fifteen bottles / considered myself
entirely cured. | am grateful,
happy woman to-day. Miss Muriel
Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic
organs with the same surety as it
cures catarrh of the head. Peruna
has become renowned as a positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh, Catafrh is the cause of
the trouble. Peruna cures the ca
tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

months of July and August, the time of
its first appearance varying with the
climatic conditions during any particu-
lar season. The first spots usually de-
velop on the apple fruits when they are
nearly full grown. From that time on
until the fruit is entirely ripened the dis
ease is likely to occur with increasing
severity
Warm, sutry weather. particularly
after rain, forms the ideal condition for
the development of the bitter rot. In
cool, dry summers the bitter rot is usu-
ally present but sparingly. A short series
II hot, wet days in August may bring
about sudden and very destructive at
tack. Nights with heavy fall of dew
alternating with hot days are usually
followed by an extensive development
Of the disease Numerous instances might
be mentioned where the disease appeared
In an orchard during the latter part of
August, after few hot days, destroying
the whole crop In three days. A notable
case of this kind occurred during the
summer of 1900 Cold weather usually
checks the disease and may stop 1t al.

The bitter rot fungus. like other
species OF the form genus Gloeosporium.
has an almost worldwide distribution.
In the United States 1t has been found in
nearly all of the states east of and in
GLIDING Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas.
A careful search through the Theological
literature available at the Missouri bot
anieal garden has shown that under one
name or another this fungus has been re-
| ported from Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, New York, New
| Jersey. Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi. Kentucky, Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
| Missouri. Arkansas. Kansas, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and Texas. The states
east of the Mississippi from which the
fungus has not yet been reported are al
most unexplored mycologically. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that 1t occurs in all
states where the apple is being grown,
even in the most northern ATTITUDES

brown. When the spot is one-eighth of
an inch in diameter the area appears dis
tinctly sunken. The borders of these
spots are usually very nearly circular
and sharply defined.
The cankers found on apple trees in
Illinois appear as blakened depressions
on apple limbs Of various sizes. from last
years fruit spurs TO limbs three to four
inches in diameter. Thus far the cankers
have not been found on the main trunk.
The discovery of the eankers was
brought about directly by tracing groups
of diseased apples to these sunken areas
on the apple limbs. The numerous OBJ
servations made by Mr. r. H. Simpson,
of Parkersburg. Ill. and by those who fol-
lowed him seemed TO prove beyond ques-
tion that the eankers were in some way
responsible for the infection of the ap-
pies. Instances were frequent where two
or more apples hung just below eanker
These were generally badly diseased,
while all other apples in their immedi-
ate vicinity were perfectly healthy.
Although the bitter rot has been so
destructive to apple crops for 80 years
or more, little If any Roadway had
been made until recently toward
combating II successfully The dis
ease may still be regarded as one
of the most difficult ones to con-
troll, although 1t now seems probable that
greater success ought TO attend preven-
tive measures. These may now be placed
under these heads:
