Arthur Symons thus describes the
great violinist Ysaye as he appeared
while playing his instrument: Then
the 'Kreutzer Sonata began, and /
looked at Ysaye as he stood, an al
most shapeless mass of flesh, holding
the violin between his fat fingers and
looking vaguely into the air. He put
the violin to his shoulder. The face
had been liks a mass Of clay waiting
the sculptors thumb. AS the music
came an invisible touch seemed to
pass over it, the heavy mouth and
chin remained firm, pressed down on
the violin, but the eyelids and the eye
brows began to move, as If the eyes
saw the sound and were drawing it
in luxuriously with a kind of sleeping
ecstasy, as one draws in perfume out
of a flower. Then, in that instant,
beauty which had never been in the
world came into the world; new
thing was created. lived, died, having
revealed itself to all those who were
capable of receiving IT,"

and persistently at the button labeled
'Janitor." The hoSye bore a sign stat
ing that there were apartments to rent.
The janitor was evidently absent from
his post of duty. as there was no
response to her repeated ringing.
Disheartened, the seeker for a home
was about to turn away when the door
was opened from the inside and a
bright faced boy of about seven years
was disclosed. He looked wonderingly
at the visitor, who asked:
What kind Of an apartment is there
for rent here?"
A look of mingled disgust and scorn
slowly Overspread the youngsters face
He surveyed the questioner from head
to foot and finally said with an ag,
grieved air:

The raffeSia is Il strange plant. 1t
grows in Sumatra and derives its
name from Sir Stamford Rafties, gov
ernor of Sumatra at one time, and his
friend, DR.. Arnold, naturalist. They
were the first white. men to discover
the wonderful plant. 1t is said to be
the largest and most magnificent flow
err in the world. 1t is composed of
five roundish petals, each foot across
and of brick red color, covered with
numerous irregular yellowish white
swellings. The petals surround a cup
nearly foot wide, the margin of
which bears the stamens
This cup Is filled with a fieshy disk,
the upper surface of which is every
where covered with projections like
miniature cows horns. The cup when
free from its contents would hold
about twelve pints of water The
flower weighs fifteen pounds. 1t is
very thick, the petals being three
quarters Of an inch in thickness. With
its beauty one is led to expect sweet
ness, but its odor is that of tainted
beef, and DR.. Arnold supposed that
even the flies We're deceived by the
smell and were depositing their eggs
in the thick disk, taking it for piece
of carbon.

An Odd Court Incident.

Sensational incidents are not uncom
mon in the closing stages of famous
criminal trials. One of the most re
markable occurred in Melbourne on the
last day of the trial of Ned Kelly,
known as the "ironclad bushranger of
Australia" A knife dropped from a
gallery overhead and fell at the feet
OF the desperate in the dock. He had
every temptation to grasp it and put
an end to his existence, for there was
not the slightest chance of his escap-
ing the gallows. But it was promptly
picked up by bailiff, and its owner
was arrested and brought before the
judge. He pleaded that the occurrence
was purely accidental, and the explana-
ton was accepted by the court.

Approach of Catarrh Not Always
Noticed.
Catarrh is silent and insidious in its
ravages, but it pervades nearly every
household and hovers like a pestilence
over every hamlet and city in our
land.
Catarrh (and it's legitimate conse-
quences) has desolated more hearth
stones, made wretched more happy
lives, and ended more brilliant careers
than all other diseases combined.
Catarrh may end in deafness, blind
ness, loss of smell, loss Of taste, or the
entire loss of voice.
Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia,
consumption and pleurisy begin almost
always as the result of a catarrhal at
tack.
The worst forms of dyspepsia and
Brights disease of the kidneys are also
the direct consequences of neglected
cases of acute catarrh.
Even when the victims of acute ca
tarrh escape all of the above mentioned
liabilities, there remains the great
pre- liability of it's ending in chronic ca
tarrh.
The only hope of success in the per-
manent cure of a case of chronic ca
tarrh is 20 devise some remedy that
will stimulate the nerves which supply
the capillary blood vessels.
There is but one remedy that has this
most desirable effect, and that remedy
is Peruna.
Peruna is not a temporary palliative
but a radical cure.
1t is the only reliable internal rem
edy ever devised to cure any case of
catarrh, however long the case may
have been standing.
To devise some systemic internal
remedy which would reach catarrh at
its source. to eradicate it permanently
from the system--this has been the de-
sire of the medical profession for a
long time. Forty years ago DR.. Hart
man confronted this problem. He be-
lleved then that he had solved 1t. He
still believes he has solved Il. He
Il. IL

There is but one remedy that has the
desirable effect, and that remedy is

Peruna, Is now TO be found in svery
drug store and nearly every home IN
the land.

w. III. Parsons.
Catarrhal Symptoms Vary According
to Their Location i'm the Body.
Every organ Of the body is liable to
catarrh. Symptoms of catarrh differ
according to the part affected. If the
catarrh is confined TO the nose the
symptoms will be sneezing and mucous
discharges, or the formation of dry
scabs, corresponding to the stage of the
disease.
When in the pharynx 1t causes hawk
ing, enlarged follicles and tonsils, and
sometimes deafness. In the larynx IL
produces hoarseness, and often loss of
voice. AS soon as IL reaches the trachea
and bronchial tubes. cough, with
abundant mucous expectoration, en-
sues.
Upon reaching the lungs catarrh
speedily causes consumption, and all of
the symptoms of that dread disease fol-
low sooner or later. Catarrh also at
tacks the urinary tract, producing in
the kidneys "Brlght's disease in the
bladder chronic cystitis, and in the
urethra small. frequent and painful
micturitions. Peruna is a specific for
catarrh wherever located and in all
stages.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life.giving secretions Of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
flame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places az
fected by catarrh can do little good
save 10 soothe or quiet dleagreeable

ROMINEN1 JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS WHO USE PE-RU-NA.
There Is No Remedy Known to the Medical
Profession That Is Used and Endorsed BY
So Many Men Of National Prominence
and Undoubted Integrity.

THE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their tes-
timonials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous
its merits are known to so many peo-
pie of high and low station, that no
one hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong Endorsement,
Men representing all classes and sta
tons are equally represented.
The most distinguished men of the
United States have no hesitation in
lending their influence to assist in let
ting the people know of the virtues of
Peruna. Nearly one-half the people
are in some degree affected by catarrh.
Therefore it is almost a national curse,
and it is of national import that the
people should know of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease. Pc
runa is an American remedy. Catarrh
is the result of changeable climate.
Peruna is the result of long and care
full experimentation. Catarrh enters
the system through the nerve-centers.
Peruna enables the nerve-centers to
repel and expel catarrh from the sys-
tenn.
Catarrh is systemic disease, cura-
BILE only by systemic treatment. A
remedy that cures catarrh must aim
directly at the depressed nerve-centers
This is what Peruna does.

YYON D. Y. CORBIN. is ex-United
States Senator and cousin of Adjt
Gen. Corbin of the United States
Army. Judge Corbin is one of the best
known lawyers in Chicago and stands
high professionally and socially. The
following Endorsement coming from
such a man cannot help but add weight
and Importance to the thousands of
testimonials from the humber walks
of life:
conference.-the use of Peruna
has been a blessing to those troubled
with cataPrh.. So many of my ac-
quaintances have been cured and
benefited by its use that its curative
qualities should be generally known.
i do not hesitate to recommend it as
the best remedy yet discovered for
that tlisease."-D. Y. Corbin, 916 Chi
cago Opera House, Chicago, Ill.
THERE are two things that the
whole medical profession agree
about concerning catarrh. The
first is that catarrh is the most preva-
lent 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. Working
classes have it and sedentary classes
have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his
constant and ever-present foe. 1t COM
plicates nearly every disease he is call
ed upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that it is
difficult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to
little or nothing, except to give tenn
2orary relief.
Catarrh a Systemic Disease.
Catarrh is frequently located in in
ternal organs which cannot be reached
by any sort of local treatment. All
this is known by every physician.

tine of business. One of my students

The Season of Catching Cold.
-IIE season Of catching cold is
upon us. The cough and the
sneeze and the nasal twang are to
be heard on every hand. The origin Of
chronic catarrh. the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is cold.
The order in which the symptoms Of
chronic catarrh occur are nearly al
ways as follows:
A cold which hangs on longer than
usual a sensitiveness of the air pas
sages, by which one catches cold easily;
a continual settled cold in the head,
throat, or chest discharges grow
thicker and more offensive. loss OF
flesh, dependency, loss of appetite,
headache or cough, and general lassi-
tude.
Now this is about the order in which
symptoms of chronic catarrh make their
appearance, and If the sufferer is for
tunate enough to find a cure the symp
toms will begin to disappear in exactly
the reverse order. There may be at
first no perceptible improvement in the
earliest symptoms, while the latter
symptoms show prompt improvement.

GREAT many remedies to ter

A GREAT many remedies to tenn
n porarily relieve catarrh have been
devised from time to time, such
as sprays, snuffs, creams and other To-
cal applications, but. as a rule, the
medical profession has little or no en-
thusiasm in the treatment of catarrh
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensa-
ton in medical circles when Dr. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers North,
South, East and West.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh
began to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the office of The Peruna Medicine
Company.
In every city and hamlet of the land
the phrase that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located, has become almost
an axiom.
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. 1t acts quickly and benefi-
clally upon the inflamed mucous mem
brane, thus removing the cause of ca
tarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located
Catarrh is essentially the same every
tarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations.
