STOP THAT COUGH!
Colds Lead to Catarr==Catarrh Leads to Consumpton

Miss Lila, of Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took course of Peruna before it was
too late. She had caught several colds,
then cough developed. She took all
sorts of cough medicines, until, as she
puts it, 81 sickened at the sight of Them"
In four weeks Peruna had cured her of
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid of it.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has similar
! experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption is
catching cold. The next step is a failure
to cure it promptly. The third step is
the development of catarrh, which grad
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catarrh begins to spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
catarrh spreads TO the bronchial tubes
and lungs. 1t then becomes consump-
ton i'll its first stage.
AT any time during the progress Of the
catarrh, from the first onset of the cold
to its final settlement in the lungs, Pc
runa can b. relied upon to stop the dis
ease. 1t cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroughly
developed, many cases have found in
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians to die
of consumption Peruna has cured them.
We have hundreds Of testimonials
that declare these facts in the most
enthusiastic language.
U. S. Senator John NJ. Thurston, from
Nebraska, writes the following letter
from Washington, D. c., under date Of
April 6, 1901:
"I have used Peruna at various times
during the past year or two with most
satisfactory results.
at entirely relieved me from an irri.
tating cough, the result of excessive
effort i'll the Presidential campaign, and
am firm believer in its efficacy In
any such trouble."-Jno. NJ. Thurston.
To take quieting medicines to stop
cough is absurd and harmful. The only
way to stop a cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good is
to cure the catarrh, which is exactly
what Peruna does. 1t cures the catarrh
OF the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance of cough
a bottle of Peruna should be taken
according to directions. One bottle in
the beginning will do more than a half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
itself on the lungs.
Ii you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, q,

Much Vacant Land Yet.

The material development of the
country is quietly progressing at a
remarkable rate in one direction
which is not given much popular
attention. More than 22,S24, 299
acres of the public lands were
turned over to private individuals
last year. This means that an
area almost equal to that of the
state of Indiana has within that
time been added to the productive
regions of the United States. Most
of these newly opened lands were
homasteaded hv farm ers. as will he
seen from the following figures:
There were 54,365 patents of all
classes issued within the year. OF
this number AT, 654 are classed as
agricultural, 4,904 as Indian allot-
ments, l, 104 as mineral patents, 200
as coal patents, 276 as private land
claims, 1877 as railroad patents and
40 as swamp land patents. The
total sum which the government
got by way of fees and commissions
for issuing these patents was SILL
024,7l4. Under a recent law the
most of the receipts from the sale
of public lands will henceforth be
set aside for retaining arid lands
by irrigation.
In the public domain there are
still unappropriated 380,979, 307
acres of surveyed lands AID SELL
976, 169 acres of unsurveyed lands,
or total of more than $40, 955, 900
acres. A great many tracts in this
immense area, of course, will al
ways remain uncultivated and un-
settled, but it has been estimated
that when the contemplated system
of irrigation shall be put into work.
ing order so much good land will
be opened that population as
large as the whole nations present
population could find room there to
thrive prosperously and contented-
ly.
Rapid strides are now being made
in the developing of the public do
main. The excitement and uproar
of former pioneer days are absent
in this work, but the process is
marked and very effective. The
passenger traffic on western rail-
roads is evidence of this fact.
Agreeable reflections arise in con-
templating that the United States
still owns so much arabic public
land. The dangers of an over
crowded population by immigration
or natural increase are still remote
The census for many years yet to
come will not show an excess fpeo-
pie above what the west will need
in settling up its vacant lands =
