THE COAST RECORD.
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-27
Poultry and Care.

Poultry ruled firm az previous prices re-
cefpts being very light and the market was
bare at the close. Receipts OF domestic stock
have been very light during the past few days
owing to the bad condition OF the country
roads. which prevented deliveries at shipping
points. The car OF Western expected on
Thursday did not arrive until late yesterday
and was held over for Mondays market when
another car falls due The scarcity OF Poultry
caused a better dema nd for Game and the
light receipts cleaned up quickly at higher
prices.

EYE HOSPITAL IN EGYPT.
Surgical Experiment Is Proving Sue
cessful at Cairo-Has Gained
Mohammedan Confidence.

4 remarkably interesting expert
ment in surgery is being carried
out in Egypt under the direction of A.
IF. MacCallan, who was formerly con-
nected with the Royal Ophthalmic hos
Ipital.
About a year ago 100000 was placed
at the disposal of the Egyptian gov
ernment for the benefit of sufferers
from diseases of the eye. The Egyp-
Itian sanitary department decided to
establish a travelling ophthalmic hos
pital or dispensary to obviate the ne
cessity of patients making long jour-
neys to obtain treatment.
The hospital consists Of eight Indian
tents and kitchen Of sun dried bricks.
On an average six operations are per-
formed daily in the largest tent. Two
tents are set apart for the accommoda-
ton of in-patients, but only the more
severe cases are admitted. In another
tent out-patients are treated by Mr.
MacCallan's Arab assistant, who has
been trained in Cairo. Besides this as
distant there are attached to the hos
pital about ten nurses and servants.
Great numbers Of patients seek
treatment and the large proportion o.
females who present themselves shows
that the hospital has secured the con-
fdence Of the Mokammedan popula-
ton.

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROL INA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
CataHh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Panereaiin and a Host
of other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catafrh.

Tx. q. S. Senator M. C. Butler from
IL South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, D. c., says:
Ican recommend Peruna for dyS.
pepsfa and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for Short
period and feel very much relieved.
1t is Indeed a wonderful medicine be.
sides q good tonic. ".--M. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, Simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh islocated
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
