DR.. s. B. Hartman, Columbus, ONO:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who
used the Peruna was suffering from
laryngitis, and loss of voice. The re
suit of the treatment was most salts
factory. She found great relief, and
after further use of the medicine we
hope to be able to say she is entirely
cured. Sisters of Charity.
This young girl was under the care
of the Sisters of Charity and used Pc
runa for catarrh of the throat, with
good results, as the above letter tes-
titles.
Pe-ru-na of Great Service.
Another recommend from a Catholic
institution in one of the Central States
reads as follows:
ga number of years ago our atten-
ton was called to DR.. Hartman's Pc
runa, and since then we have used it
with wonderful results for grip,
coughs, colds and catarrhal diseases.
''For grip and winter catarrh espe-
ciaIly it has been of great service to
the inmates of this institution. sister
Superior.
These are samples of letters received
by DR.. Hartman from the various or
ders of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States and Canada.
The names and addresses have been
withheld from respect to the Sisters,
but will be furnished upon request.

efficiency of your remedy"
Another letter received from the
same institution reads as follows:
Three weeks ago I wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found Peruna-
We recommend it highly for colds,
coughs, catarrh and neuralgia
''I have used it myself as a tonic
with the best results. taken as directed
half a teaspoonful every half hour"
A remedy that would act Immediate
ly upon the congested mucous MEM
brane, restoring it to its normal state,
would consequently cure all these dis
eases.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in SO many homes is
that it contains no narcotics of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
1t can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit. Pc
runa does not produce temporary re-
suits. 1t is permanent in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn, and gradually eliminates catarrh
by removing the cause of catarrh,
There are a multitude of homes where
Peruna has been used off and on for
twenty years. Such a thing could not
be possible If Peruna contained any
drugs of a narcotic nature.

The deficiency

only railroad at loss. The deficiency
amounted to $9,117.S2.
One of the interesting features of the
report is the percentage of the total
tonnage of which each class of freight
transported amounts. Bituminous coal
leads with 2016 per cent of the total
tonnage transported. Grain is a close
second with 1898 per cent of the total
tonnage. The percentages of the other
classes of freight are as follows: Mer-
chandise, 9.52; cement, brick and tin,
262; flour, 4.43; hay, 0s4; fruit and vegA-
tables, $50; live stock, 7.1z; anthracite
COAL 0.39; ores, 5.94; lumber 1927, and
oil, o5S. All of the freight classified IN
this list originated in the state. In the
case of the percentage of oil to the to-
tai tonnage, it is believed that 0.58 per
cent can hardly be called fair show
ing OF course, much of the oil devel
opment has been completed since these
figures were prepared. 1t is expected
that the next annual report will show
large increase in the amount of oil
hauled during the months of the pres
ent year before the completion of the
pipe line from the oil fields to Kansas
City.

Although 1904 has been year of
economy in railroad operation in every
direction, and the aim of officials was
to reduce expenditures to the lowest
possible point, still the year saw
great deal of construction work done
in all sections of the country.
During the year the construction de-

railroad has changed 29.35 miles of
track; built 55-4 miles of new road
and $685. miles of second track. This
