with Power.

ST.. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-The an
nouncement made yesterday that Count
Witte would shortly assume active di-
rection of the government as premier
and head Of responsible cabinet, now
seems to- be fully confirmed. It can be
stated positively that the emperor has
rendered the position Of premier of the
cabinet about to be formed to the
count. Count Witte is said to have in
less manner, that he could accept the
position only on the condition that he
would be a real premier with working
cabinet, and not the mere fgurehead Of
an irresponsible body It can be said
that his majesty has undoubtedly con-
ferred upon the count the task of draw
ing up, according to his ideas, the prof
ect for responsible ministerial cabinet,
the consideration Of which was being
ttediously dragged out in special con-
ference. a. ,{5sS9e' aat *&.1r

Mrs. ]. P. Regnier. 754 w. goth street,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
Il am anxious to show my gratitude
for what Peruna has done for me. and
hope this will reach the eyes of some
woman who has suffered as did.
For two years I had intense pains
regularly every month, had headache and
backache. AT such times I was hardly
able to be about, and felt very weak and
worn-out
am now feeling very well. but would
not be without Peruna in the house.
When see my children are not feeling
we'll and have a little cold, at once give
them Peruna, and they know it does them
good so they take 1t without any trouble.
II am a new woman since began
taking Peruna.
My friends say, 'How well you
look! 'and I tell them what made me
well, so some of my friends are going to
try it themselves" s.
Mother and children take the same
remedy. " ..E
Certainly this is one of the best rec
ommends that sPeruna can have. 4
There are many families in all parts
Of the country who use Peruna, from
the oldest to the youngest member OF
the family.
The reason for this is that catarrh In
some form or phase afflicts the oldeZ
people as well as the young.
| Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in SO many homes is tha,
it contains no narcotics of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can bt

| quiring a drug habit. =
