PURE PL0CD
Blood Impurities of Sprlnstime
Cause. Prevention
and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was his recent
lecture on the blood impurities of spring.
The doctor said in substance that ev-
cry spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations Of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood. :
This condition OF things produces
what is popularity known as spring fever,
spring malaria, nervous exhaustion,
that tired feeling, bloca thickening and
many other names. -
Sometimes tie victim is, bilious, dys-
.peptic and constipated; sometimes he is

weak, nervous and depressed; and again
he may have eruptions, swellings and
other blood humors. Whichever it is,
the cause is the same-effete accumula-
tions in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole range of medical science than that
"a course of Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and effectually prevent
or cure this almost universal affection.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed con-
siderably, while large per cent Of. the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in
time.
Peruna will cure it if taken as di-
rected.
Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis. s=--z,,-

sick kidneys, and help them free the
system from poison. Read how valua-
BILE they are, even in cases Of long
standing:
L. C. Lowell, of AS North First
street, Spokane, Wash, says: 81 have
had trouble from my kidneys for the.
past ten years. 1t was caused by
strain to which paid little attention.
But as neglected the trouble it be-
came worse and worse until any strain
or slight cold was sure to be followed
by severe pain across my back. Then
the action of the kidney secretions be-
came deranged and was caused much
annoyance besides loss OF sleep. Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my no.
tice, and after taking them a short
time their good effect was apparent.
All the pain was removed from my
back and the kidney secretions became
normal. Doan's Kidney Pills do all
that is claimed for Them"

a .Ree,r Good Catch.

The next time you go to party take
with you a reel of white cotton and a
needle. At the first opportunity thread
the needle and drop the reel inside
your breast pocket: pass the needle
through your coat from the inside, and
detach it from the cotton, leaving
about two inches hanging upon the
outside of your black coat. You will
be interested to see how your friends
will try to do you the kindness Of re-
moving the cotton. and the effect will
be startling when they pull out an ap.

II Your Friends Get 1t You Will Profit
and They Will Die Poor.
A singular rival to kleptomania has
made its appearance among the well
born and wealthy. Instead of falling
victims to the Irresistible propensity
for stealing which characterizes KEEP
tOmaniacs. sufferers from the latest af-
Fiction seem filled with desire to get
rid of everything they possess, and do
so by lavishly bestowing gifts in all
directions. Several cases of gifto-
mania-as doctors have named this
curious complaint-have lately been
exciting the interest Of the medical
profession, not the least remarkable
of which is that Of "a young married
society woman who moves in the high
est circles.
Some time ago she developed a
craze for making presents to all her
friends and 7acqIaintances. and the
habit grew. upon. her. to such an ex-
tent that she spent all her allowance
in order to satisfy her passion for Civ
ing. The constant demands which she
made upon her husbands purse and
check book at last aroused a suspicion
in his mind that she was losing money
by gambling. Investigation, however,
soon proved that this suspicion was
wrong, and the remarks which he
heard from friends and acquaintances
ultimately enabled him to discover the
manner in which his wife disposed Of
her money.
A specialist was called in. who ad
vised foreign tour, stating that fresh
scenes and the excitement of travel
ing would probably have the effect Of
effacing the craze from the mind of
the patient. This advice was duly
carried out and resulted in a complete
cure.
Not quite such a happy ending, now.
ever, attended a bad case of gifto-
mania described by well known ply
sician at a lecture some time ago. The
victim was q man who had retired
from business with comfortable for
tune, but in two years he had almost
ruined himself by his mania for Civ
ing. He: would leave home in the
morning with his pockets full Of
money, which he distributed indis-
criminately among any beggars whom
he happened to meet Furthermore,
he forwarded checks for considerable
amounts TO charitable institutions all
over the country, and when at last
bis bank balance was exhausted he
began to sell his property in order to
satisfy his craze. -,-, -
Such actions naturally led his friends
and relatives to imagine that the man
was not quite sane, and an authority
on mental diseases who was called in
pronounced the case to be one Of acute
giftomania. So excited and violent
did the patient become on learning
that steps had been taken to prevent
him giving away anything more that
1t was deemed advisable to place him
under actual restraint.-ChicagO Trib-

Republicans Divided.

The spasmodic efforts of the fac
tions of the Republican party in sew
erar States to throw off the incubus of
the stand pat"' protectiOnists has an
other revival, especially in Massachu-
sets, Iowa. Minnesota, Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota and to some
extent in Illinois. They are demand
ing that the Republican National Con-
vention declare for reciprocity, espe-
cially with Canada. Hundreds Of
manufacturers and business men OF
Massachusetts have signed-an endorse
ment of such legislation, also, to en-
dorse eX-Congressman Foss for dele
gate to the Republican National Con-
vention. The Boston Transcript of
April =, Republican newspaper, pub
fishes half a page containing the
names of hundreds of those who
signed such endorsement and the
Transcript adds that there were hun
dreds of others. In the city Of Brock
ton a partly personal canvas was
made to obtain signatures, for the
purpose Of ascertaining if reciprocity
sentiment was general or only spas
modic. The result was convincing.
Practically every business man ap-
preached signed the endorsement The
Republican machines in Massachu-
sctts and the other States, notably. in
Iowa, are fighting tooth and nail to
prevent the spread of reciprocity sem
timent and to defeat Mr.. FOss in Mas
sachusetts, Governor Cummins. Of
Iowa. and Governor La Toilette, in
Wisconsin.
In Iowa the protectionist ring is
making an especially bitter fight
against Governor Cummins and the
Protective Tariff League, through its
organ, the Economist, says of him:
"Cummins and his followers have
shown themselves to be the enemies
Of. true Republicanism. They have
inaugurated policy Of rule or ruin
and they should be compelled to take
the consequences. Over and over
again. with brazen effrontery and a
degree of zeal worthy Of "a better
cause, he-Governor Cummins-has
attempted to force upon the Republi-
can party in his own State and in
the nation as well, doctrines and poll
cies that are in opposition to settled
Republican principles"
When it is remembered that Gov
ernOr Cummins demanded that the
tariff that shelters the trusts must be
reformed. it explains the viturpera-
ton of the Economist whose life de-
pends upon contributions from the
trusts.
This factional fight in the Republi-
can ranks can be viewed with equa-
nimity, if not delight by Democrats,
for 1t may result in many Republi-
cans voting for the Democratic cam
didates when they see their demands
spurned by the Republican ring lead
ers There is no more hope for these
Republican reformers now than in the
past, though they are more numerous
and insistent than heretofore. The
only hope of tariff reformers is with
the Democrats who favor all and any
reforms that will lessen the burden
upon the taxpayers and tighten, the
trust load of high prices which the
people now have to bear.

The Hairs of the Head

Red-haired people are less subject to
badness than others. A doctor ex.
plains the matter thus: The hair of
the red-headed is relatively thick, one
red hair being almost as thick as five
or three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is well thatched, where
as with the same number of fair hairs
one is comparatively bald. 1t takes
nearly 100000 fair and 10000 brown
hairs to cover adequately an ordinary
head

Trust Investiuation.

Trust Investigation.
Congress has ordered Secretary Cor
telyOu to investigate the Meat Trust.
but by what he says he is not going
to do in carrying out the orders Of
Congress leads one to believe that he
will not discover much that the trust
does not want him to find out. He
announces there will be no public ex-
animation of witnesses and that he
scorns to stoop to detective work.
When Secretary Cortelyou reports to
Congress next winter what he has dis
covered, perhaps Congress will be none
the wiser.
We. all know that the Meat Trust
is '.bad trust for that trust and
the railroad merger were the only
ones that President Roosevelt and his
Attorney-General could discover that
We're bad enough to commence pro-
ceedings against, but neither of these
were bad enough to prosecute under
the criminal section Of the antitrust
law.
If Congress had ordered Attorney
General Knox to indict the Meat Trust
magnates for criminal conspiracy in
restraint of trade and they had been
convicted and given the term in Jail
that the law provides for such crimi-
nails. the trust magnates would be
glad to amend their doings, Such pun
ishment would turn this bad trust
into an innocuous one and Secretary
Cortelyou would have been saved a
world of trouble.
How will Secretary Cortelyou find
out anything about the Meat Trust,
that is not. already known. if he will
not. "stoop to detective work.? When
he or any of the, 10000 people EN-
ployed I'm his. department, interview
the trust magnates, the bad side Of
their doings will hardly be disclosed.
When .'the railroads are asked about
the secret rebates and special rates
that the Meat Trust Is said to enjoy,
the corporation magnates will not
want to. convict themselves. f..i-
Secretary COrtelyou evidently has a
very exalted idea Of his own impOr-
tance but he will have to come off
his high horse and get down to de
tective work to obtain any evidence
Of how the trust manipufates the mar
ket for cattle and dictates the price
of meat Perhaps il he consulted At
torney General Knox, he might be
given the evidence presented to the
court upon which the injunction was
granted against the combine. Why
did the Republican leaders in Congress
ask the evidently unwilling COrtelyou
to obtain evidence of the Meat Trust
exactions, when Attorney General
Knox must have just what Congress
says it wants? Perhaps the Republican
leaders know that Secretary COrtelyou
would not ''stoop to detective work"
and thus no evidence would be forth
coming.
