Meny Have CataTh
 Who Don't Suspect t
Pe>ru>na is a Tonic That Cleanses
 The System of all Catarrh.

Diseased nerves are directly traceable to poor digestion, and poor digestion is directly traceabe to catarrh With the slightest catarrh of the stomach no one can have good digestion.
 Very few of the many women who have catarrh of the stomach suspect what their real trouble is They know they belch after meals, have sour stom- ach a sensation of weight or heaviness, d fullness, irregular appetite drowsi- ness, gnawing. empty sensations, occa- sional pain-they all know this; but they do not know that their trouble is ca tarrh of the stomach. If they did they would take Peruna
 Peruna cures catarrh wherever located As soon as Peruna removes catarrh from the stomach the digestion becomes good appetite regular, nerves strong, and trou- ble Vanishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not by temporarily stimulating them, but by removing the cause of weak nerves-poor digestion. This is the only cure that lasts. Remove the cause; Ma ture will do the rest. Peruna removes the cause
 If the symptoms are a general feeling of lassitude poor circulation of the blood, restless, disturbed sleep, with fantastic dreams confusion of mind, craving ap- petite heavy, tired feelings. indigestion, nervousness, etc, Peruna is adapted to the case and never fails to cure every case.

Adjusting Themselves to Change.

The supreme court of the United States having defined the limitss beyond which ambitious financiers may not go in their combinations of Wall street are making haste to adjust themselves to existing conditions. Next to being given unli- censed freedom of action it is important to know what cannot be done and just how far within the law combinations may be effected, This information was given clearly and unqualifiedly in the decision of the supreme court in the merger case and the big people of Wall street are governing themselves accordingly. They are not disposed to fly in the face of pub lie opinion or proceed further in seeming effort to evade or crcumvent the law.
 The grand and glorious principle of "harmony of interests is to be resubsti- tuted in the place of ulawful merger. Transcontinental railroads are hereafter to be conducted along lines of mutual in- terest by methods which cannot be con strued as offensive to public policy or statutory regulations. This is a long step in open recognition of the power of the law. The lesson taught to Wall street by the merger litigation and by the final rul- ings of the supreme court thereon has been salutary. 1t has cut the claws or over weening ambition and has given far to those who were disposed to look upon themselves as above the law and as constituting a privileged class upon whom devolved the guardianship of the rest Of the world The many are recognized as being superior to the few.

 Dread Chronic Cata1h Hacking, Splitting, Coughing, Sneezing Cured by
 Pe-ru-na.

Miss Hertha Mum, COS Atlantic St., Ap- pleton, Wis, writes:
 T tried catarrh remedies some of which guaranteed a cure or money re- funded, and have taken as high as eight bottles of some without any material benefit. I had made up my mind that all were worthless, so it took great deal of persuasion to get me to try Peruna. But I bless the friend who persuaded me, Ns 1 had not taken one bottle before my head and throat began to clear up, and the hacking and splitting soon ceased and when four bottles had been used there was not trace of catarrh in my body. It is a great relief to be clear of it. Miss Hertha Mum.

 Mrs. Elizabeth Scherer, Monte Vista, Colo, writes: For sixteen years l suf- fered with catarrh and stomach trouble. I doctored and took patent medicines without benefit. I read in one of your al manacs about Peruna and thought it would perhaps help me. l have used noth- ing at all in the way of remedies except Peruna for about two years, and my health could not be better than I now enjoy. This remedy is also good for coughs and colds. I shall never be with out it in my house."

Great Banker Visits suIly.

One great banker who has a world wide recognition as the financial representa- tive of one of the most powerful interests in Wall street today, singled out Sully as the object of his personal attention. He was a frequent visitor at Sullys offices and on many occasions invited him to his club or took him to lunch It was this man who played very active part in bringing the Sully career to an inglorious end.
 It was he who discovered" or pretend ed to discover that Sullys co-partners in speculative pools were playing him false and who. while pretending to act with him, were in reality operating against him and overwhelming the cotton market with offerings of futures when they should have been giving him support on the bull side. It may be that this indi- Vidual was and is Suly's friend, but Wall street will have to proof before subscrib- ing unqualifedly to the affirmative the ory He has been accused repeatedly of getting into the good graces of ambitious interests and then loading them up with money for the purpose of eventually breaking them and eliminating them from the field of large action.
 About a year and a half ago he induced a large brokerage house to borrow to the uttermost limit of it's credit and then when the turn came he got on the firms back and crowded it remorseiessly. The firm in question was credited with having borrowed 600 during the few weeks preceding the continuation of the last great bull movement. eighteen months ago Liquidation for account of this firm was one of the reasons for the sharp col- lapse in the market at that time It is an old. Wall street trick to break man by inducing him to extend himself.

down. or repudate obligations of honor. When man is branded as ''welcher" he is far from the scale of manhood.
 Sully fell an easy victim to the cour- tiers of the financial district. He knew the game tolerably well before he came into Wall street and should have been strong enough to resist the fiatteries and blandishments of the adventurers who make a business of attaching themselves to newcomers who may happen to achieve unusual success. Sully kept his head until his good fortune had run him into the millions. It was at this stage that he at- tracted the attention of the big adventu- rers of the street and he has fallen by the wayside. Men who would have turned him away without explanation or apology a year before looked him up, consulted him in reference to large affairs and gave nattering evidences that they looked upon him as a man of extraordinary Judgment and sagacity-as a speculative and busi- ness marvel His cooperation was invit- ed on all hands and he was taken into big deals by arch manipulators of finance and the specialties thereof. He was en- throned as king of the cotton market and was given pages of adjulation in the newspapers.
 All this appealed to his vanity for 1t is a pretty good man who can receive that kind of attention when as an unknown proposition he can invade New York and get columns upon columns of newspaper notoriety of a pleasing sort. He has a right to think well of himself when he is being paid such extravagant honor. No wonder MT. Sully was carried off his feet. No wonder his head went into the clouds. There are few newcomers, and for that matter. few seasoned veterans in Wall street who would not feel fiattered to be the recipients of marked personal favors of presidents of great banking institutions and of those who had become famous the world over In railroad and industrial en- terprise, as well as in commerce.
