U.' S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

These Remedies Do Not Reach the

Tx. q. s. Senator M. c. Butler from

that State for two terms. In q
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:

II Is indeed q wonderful medicine b..
aides . good tonic. IN. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
tion in a natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
In the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures 1t. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

In Bohemia every wage worker, of

to travel in search of work must be
Endorsed by the local authorities. In
changing locations a certificate from

This work book. therefore becomes a

HOW ANTHRACITE WAS MADE.
Scientific Explanation Of the Differ
ence II, Coal. n


The popularity of the Pocahontas
coal is to he found in it's low content
of ash and volatile matter as well as
of sulphur and other impurities, and
the resultant high percentage of fixed
carbon with the high calorific value
that follows upon such conditions.
The Pocahontas vein is thought to
correspond to the anthracite vein Of
red ash coal of the Lykens valley,
near Pottsville, Pa. The geological
explanation of the difference is that
the anthracite bed was subjected to
a more thorough coking process under
pressure than the Pocahontas portion
of the vein. while the latter owes it's
own lack of volatile matter to the
fact that it was subjected to heat
under pressure for more protracted
period than the bituminous Goals of
western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
