The San Francisco call., 1906-05-10

One hundred thousand tons OF struc-
tural steel to be delivered If required
within a year ard al prices that pre-
vailed prior to the earthquake and fire
have been promised San Francisco by
the United States Steel Corporation,
and the United States Steel Corpora
ton is in. position to keep its prom
iSe.
The offer, which was enthusiastically
received yesterday by the COMMITTEES
on reconstruction, was made by Frank
Baackes. who hurried to San Francisco
after the conf1agration as the special
representative OF the great Eastern
steel interests. Addressing the COM
mittee on reconstruction yesterday. lie
said:
THE United States Steel Corpora
ton stands ready to deliver to San
Francisco within a period OF one year
100000 tons Of structural steel il it re-
quires that amount. In my opinion,
$4,000 tons Will be all the city will be
able to use within that time, but It can
depend upon US to deliver all its re-
quires.
Il want to make a suggestion to ar
chitects, however. and that is that they
be as simple as possible in their lines
Of planning and be careful as to shapes,
for the more simple the shapes OF the
buildings they plan the greater can
be our output Complicated construc-
ton will interfere with our production
and as 1t is the desire of the city to
rear itself as quickly as possible and
as we intend to 90 all in our power TO
aid the city in the accomplishment Of
its object, we ask all to bear the point
Of simplicity OF design In mind.
There is no question as to the
amount of material we can deliver,
and We can meet the necessity In any
case, having agreed to divert steel In
tended for other places that we may
aid San Francisco in her extremity.
Another point that will interest you
in this behalf is the absolute deter
mination OF the interests / represent
not to raise tho price OF building ma
terial one dollar. The patriotism of our
people will not permit Of such a move
and San Francisco can count on it that
it can now purchase it's material rs
cheap If not cheaper than It could be-
fore the disaster
The offer or Mr.. Baackes was re-
ceived with applause, and the commit
tee agreed to strongly recommend to
architects that they regard his sugges-
ton as to simplicity of design.

Forty Thousand Patients.

Forty Thousand Patients.
DR.. Hartman estimates that he must
have prescribed Peruna for over forty
thousand patients before it was adver-
tised as proprietary medicine.
Relieved in Four Weeks of Severe
Cold on Lungs.
Miss Josie Schaetzel, Gen. Del, Ap-
pleton, Wis, writes:
81 contracted a severe cold which
settled on my lungs in very short order
and i was not long until it developed
into a serious case of catarrh. Every
morning 1 would raise lot of phlegm
which was very disagreeable. My
digestion was poor and my lungs sore.
"Affer a few doses of Peruna be.
gan to mend, and felt that if l kept on
taking it, it would not be long until !
would be well. Twas right, for In foul
weeks was well again.
II think Peruna is a grand medicine
and wish to add my testimony to the
many others you have"
Catarrh is almost universal. Catarrf
is difficult to cure. Many doctors dc
not care to treat catarrh at all.
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1906-04-27

standard catarrh remedy the world over
is simply because it eliminates catarrh'
This explains why Peruna has be-
come so popular. 1t relieves catarrh
This is an amply sufficient reason why
it should become popular.
| 1t therefore follows that when a rem
edy is devised that can be used in the
home at a moderate cost, such a remedy
| shOuld inevitably become popular,
Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1906-04-27

There are a great many catarrh cures
in the world. The most of them are
local applications. Few of them are to
be used internally.
Unfortunately, a large number OF
these catarrh remedies, especially the
ones prescribed by the doctors, contain
narcotics of some sort. Cocaine, opium,
and other narcotics are used.
These remedies give temporary relief.
The patient thinks he is better right
away.
In few weeks, however, he discovers
his mistake. Not only is his catarrh no
better, but he has acquired the habit Of
using some narcotic.

Followed Doctor Hart
mans Advice "A
GratefuIletter

Mrs. Anthony Rauch, 43s Johnston
street, Bucyrus, Ohio, writes:
"I was suffering from obstinate con-
stipation and torpid liver when 1 took
your advice and purchased six bottles of
Peruna and Manalin.
"When had taken only one bottle /
felt much better and since have taken
two more bottles feel entirely well,
but will continue taking the medicine
for q short time to make sure of my
cure.
81 think Manalin is one of the finest
remedies for constipation that / ever
| tried. / will never be without it. 1t has
made me so strong. I can do a days
work and never tire.
81 am so glad I do not get those dizzy
spells any more. ! havn't had one since
| took your medicine.
81 cannot thank you enough for what
your medicine has done for me. All sick
people should give il fair trial.
Pe-ru-na's Popularity.
Peruna is not like so many other rem
edies that pass away as soon as the first
few bottles are used. The longer Peruna
is used in any community, the more
popular it becomes.
