Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent or over-busy doctor. sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he. assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only syaptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering. encourages this prac- tice until large bills are made The suf- fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispeling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a disease known is half cured"

The new offices and operating room of the Postal Telegraph Cable company at 2004 and 20O6 First avenue are said to be the most complete in the south. The Birmingham office is the largest of that company in the southern states and more operators are employed here than in any other southern city. The month- ly payroll here is between s600O and $7OOO.
 Recently the Postal office was moved from Twentieth street to First avenue and at that time new machinery was in- stalled and the very latest improvements for transmitting and receiving messages were introduced. As a result the company has what it considers the best equipped office in the south.
 The operating room, which is on the second floor, has seating space for l0S operators, and about 70 are employed in the office all the time. Over 100 peo- pie are on the payroll and many of them draw good salaries, especially the opera tors. The room is lighted and ventilat- ed by two skylghts and fourteen win dows. At night it Is lighted by hum dreds of incandescent lights.
 The operating tables are of the latest design and are designed especially for typewrters only Pen and Ink have been entirely discarded in the operating room, and all messages are taken down on the typewriters. The desks have cabi- nets in which the typewriters fit and

SAYS ORE WILL LAST
 ONLY HUNDRED YEARS
Wisconsin Professor Thinks In Time Chicago Will Be the Center of
 Iron and Steel Industries.

Chicago, February 10.-One hundred years will probably see the exhaustion of the worlds present iron ore sources, according to c. Kenneth I.eath, profess sor of geology in the University of Wis consin, who lectured last night on the subject before the Geographical society. According to Professor Leith the present known deposits of high grade ore in the United States will be exhausted in a comparatively short period of time and then the low grade deposits will be drawn upon with the result of changing the geogra phlcal location of the great steel and iron plants of the country.
 ''It Is probable that the entry or low grade ores into the iron industry Will have the effect of bringing the furnaces nearer the base of supply said pr. L.eith. and this means the removal or the iron centers from Pittsburg ana tother eastern points to Chicago and points iar- ther west There are deposits or low grade ore in Colorado and Wyoming put 1t will he many years before they Will pe- come factors of commercial importance

, where they are covered and protected from dust and damp when not in service. Twelve dyna-motors provide the current which is used, and the new main line switchboard and connections are of the latest and most approved type. The office is connected directly with all the principal commercial centers in the coun- try Birmingham Is the main southern relay point and for this reason the con nections with the commercial centers are so direct.
 There is large coat room adjoining the operating room where individual lock- CTS are provided for all the employees. The lockers are of steel and have fine locks, the keys for which are in the possession of the employees.
 One of the latest improvements install ed by the company is a pantoplex. This instrument allows five men to work on each end of one wire. Four of the men at each end are working direct between the two principal cities and the fifth at each end is working with way sta- tions. The improvement makes the fifth man possible and gives an additional way station service
 Manager T. D. Jackson states that the Postal companys facilities in Birmingham are much larger than they are in any other city of the size of Birmingham in the country, and in fact that they are greater than the facilities of many cities that are much larger than Bir- mingham.

EE-.TREASURER
Uses Pe-ru-na In His Own Family as a catarrfl
 Remedy.

GEO. W. HONEY, Ex-Treasurer of the O State of Wisconsin. Is a man of wide
 acquaintance and extensive expe- rienee.
 He has used Peruna in his own family with the most gratifying results.
 He gives it unqualified endorsements as an efficacious catarrh remedy.
 1t is just such testimony as this which has given Peruna such d high standard in the estimation of the American public. There is no possible way to gainsay such frank and genuine testimony.
 The only way to account for such tes- timony is the fact that Peruna really does what is claimed for it.
 Because it relieves catarrh, it clears
 the way for Ma
 PE-RU-NA ture to re-assert
 The Reliable tbe nbysiologicaI Catarrh Remedy. forces of the body l- and thus rid the system of a great many different chronic diseases.
 Catarrh is the stronghold of lingering diseases. Once rid the system of catarrh and it is very difficult indeed for disease to finger very long.
 Followed pr. Hartman's Advice. MT. John c. Nelson, Dayton, Tenn, geologist and mining engineer, while a Captain in the Federal Army during the Civil War, contracted a case of rheuma- tism.
 This malady was constant and persist ent, inducing the development of other ailments, which also became chronic. After taking a course of Peruna, Capt. Nelson writes:
 Having been painfully afflicted with chronic rheumatism and the adjunctive combinations for many years and after having received many general and special treatments with only temporary relief l read your scientific treatise on catarrhal diseases.
 "At my request you prescribed for me a special course of the Peruna remedies, which I closely followed, and am happy to report that my rheumatism and com plicated ailments are subdued, and I feel young again at the age of sixty-nine years.
 "Reason will accept your classifica- ton of catarrhal diseases as scientific and true, and the Peruna remedies as a standard treatment for them.
 "I thank you heartily for your skilled and logical advice"
 MT. James D. King, Alamo Hotel, Col orado Springs, Col, member Youmans of America, writes:
 'I had to come here on account of lung trouble and found that my recovery was very slow.
 "A friend suggested that I try Peruna and I did so. I began to improve very rapidly and I kept right on using it. In four months my lungs were all healed and my cough all gone. I feel that much of the credit is due to Peruna and I am pleased to endorse it."
