They are catarrh of the organ which is
affected. These women despair of re-
covery. Female trouble Is SO common, SO
prevalent, that they accept it as almost in
evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way
of recovery is that they do not understand
that ii is eatarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint. ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred are nothing but
oatarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

years on sick beds with some form of female

VENEZUELAN REBELS BEATEN.
Government Troops Capture soledad
a Strategetic Position.

Soledad, which is strategic posi-
ton opposite Ciudad. Bolivar. on the
Orinoco river, has been taken by the
Venezuelan government troops. 1t is
believed that the government troops
will make a landing on that side of
the river upon the arrival of General
Gomez, the government commander-in-
chief. It is learned through deserters
that General Gomez, before entering
the valley of the Orinoco, defeated the
revolutionists under General Antonio
Paroles, who surrendered Puerto
Cabelloo in 1889, and who was sub
sequently captured by the liberals
near Irapa.
General Gomez thus secured the
safety of his rear guard. Notwith-
standing local public opinion to the
contrary in government circles, 1t is
not believed that General Rolando,
who holds Ciudad Bolivar. will be able
to resist the governments attack.

In two weeks time after we quit oor-
fee and used Postum almost all OF her
troubles had disappeared as If by
magic. II was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was all gone, stomach
