American Trade in Manehuria.

Washington. May pa report on
American trade In Manchuria has lust
been received az the State Department
from United States Consul Henry T.
Miller at New Chwang. China.
MIR. Miller says that the entire trade
Of Manchuria during the year of 1899
went through the port OF New Chwang
whereas this year there are seven dif
ferent avenues OF trade, each doing
considerable business. The consul says
there are no official records from
which to give even an estimate of the
quantity of goods coming in and going
out through the various channels. and
excepting New Chwang.
The foreign imports In 1908 for New
Chwang amounted to sl3.3li,0i2,
against sl5,6il .ii2 In 1899, the largest
import in the history Of that port.
Manchuria, the consul says, Is ex.
tremely rich In minerals, including
coal, iron. copper, silver, gold and
other kinds, but these have been
worked only In small and crude way
by the natives. Should this mineral
wealth be developed and worked by
modern methods In manner fitting
its economic possibilities, Manchuria,
he predicts. will prove to be one OF the
richest sections OF Asia.
Mr.. Miller says II Is mistake TO at.
uibut to the growth Of Manchurian
trade to the building Of the Russian
railway, as the bulk OF the produce is
hauled In carts. which compete with
the railroad In haul uf 400 miles or
more.
1T is erroneous to think that United
States has a monopoly ui the Mauchur'
ian trade or that there ig no successful
competitor says the consul las there
are four active sources NJ competition.
each striving for stronger hold on
the trade. and the contest is so close
that the variation In the value between
gold and silver have determining In
ilucnce thereon"
The products of the hand looms Of
China, known ms nankcDns, made from
t,a yarns produced In the various cot
toh mills of China from both native
and foreign cotton, Is the strongest
competitor
Mr.. Miller says that the growth In
the trade OF the United States cotton
goods In Manchuria represents the
greatest expansion of United States
trade In the Orient. and the year 1908
was the largest In it's history, There
Is reason to believe that considerable
trade came into the country through
Dalny and Port Arthur ThPschedulo
of Imports forwarded by Mr. Miller
shows that the United States has al
most the entire foreign trade In cot
ton cloth passing through New
ChwnnR.
Mr. Miller closes his report by say
Ing that the development of the -four

sale Of the cheaper Shanghai flour

u S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of The Stomach is Generally
Called Notwithstanding to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

TX. U. S. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
II South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In n
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:
~ can recommend Pcruns for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. ! hsvo
been using your medicine for short
period and feel very much relieved.
II Is Indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides n good ionic. M. C. Butler.
The only rational way TO cure dys-
pcpsia is to remove the cntarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Pcruna does not produces
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform digcs-
ton in n natural way This is vastly
better and safer than resortipg to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dy%
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because IL cures catarrh
wherever located. II catarrh IL locnted
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Pcruna cures IT.. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures IL, as well in this location
as in any other.
Pcruna is not simply n remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is u catnrrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because IL is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
