U. S. DlSPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
lty such a catarrh remedy7 Let us see
what the United States Dispensstory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver) and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
1t Is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms Of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispensatory as mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testimo-
mails of what the people think of Pc
runa as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams, Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and | did not rest as l should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time l became SO
weak / could not do any work at all.
/ had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times ! saw black
spots before them. l consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
II lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when friend recommended DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills tried them ac.
cordng to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end Of three
months I had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble vita
my nerves. have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend Dr. Williams Pink Pills"

typical Soldier Of Fortune.

Though many of}the descendants of
the illustrious Edgar Allan Poe inherit
some of his illustrious instincts, it is
probably more marked in the case of
Johnnie" Poe, who can we'll be styled
a typical soldier of fortune. Mr.. Poe
belonged to the great Fifth regiment
of Baltimore and served during the
war with Spain, after which he went
to the Philippines, where he was Of
fered a commission for efficient work
For the second time, however, he re-

from there to the Tonopah district,
from which he was lured in the late
fall by the call of the gridiron.

VICTIM OF AN ASSASSIN.
VERNA COOK OF coMANcHE
KILLED BY DYNAMITE CHARGE.
She Was Prosecutress In Three cases
of Alleged Criminal Asault-Girl
Was Asleep at the Time.

Brentwood, Tex. Citizens living in
the western portion of Comanche were
aroused at 4;30 o'clock Thursday
morning by terrific explosion and on
investigation it was found that the
house of w. P. Cook had been blown
up by dynamite placed under the side
of the house directly under the room
occupied by Verna Cook, 16-year-old
girl, who was fatally wounded by the
shock. The girl is unconscious and
can not recover.
Neighbors who arrived on the scene
first found some 10 feet of burning
fuse. A part of the house and the
bed on which the girl was sleeping was
torn into splinters. That the girl is
the victim of most cruel assassin is
believed from the fact that she is

TRIED TO ASSAULT CHILD.
Little Girl Told Mother and Mexican
Was Bound Over.

Port Arthur, Tex: Joe Wade, Mex
lean who has been working around
meat market here for some time, was
Thursday arrested on warrant charg-
ing attempted criminal assault, the in
tended victim being the 9-year-old
daughter of James Stanton of this
city. 1t is alleged that Wade persuad-
ed the little girl to go with him to his
quarters in barn, where he had been
sleeping, where he repeatedly attempt
ed to assault her, being unsuccessful,
however. The child, who sustained
practically no injury, told her mother
of the Moxican's actions and she i'm
mediately informed the police. To
avoid the possibility of mob violence
Wade was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace VIM. Nickel and was bound
over for the grand jury and was lodged
in jail in Beaumont before the matter
became known.

Destruction Of FIeas.

The Agricultural Research institute
of Bengal has concluded series of
scientific experiments to determine
the best method of destroying fleas,
the investigation having special ref
erence to checking the rayages of the
plague.
The formula recommended is the
free use of crude oil emulsion-S0 per
cent. Of crude petroleum mixed with
20 per cent. of whale oil soap. This
combination makes a jelly which
mixes freely with water, and is gem
orally used at three per cent solution,
while at .16 per cent. 1t destroys all
fleas with perfect certainty. 1t is APP
piled to floors and walls with a
sprayer.
1t is said that an animal washed
with it will be entirely relieved Of the
pests.

BIG DIAMOND ROBBERY
STORE OF j. J. SWEENEY AT
HOUSTON TOUCHED FOR $4,000.
CLEVER SHIFTING OF BOXES.
Man Expressed Desire to Match
Observation-Disclosures Not Dis
Covered for Two Hours.

Houston, Tex: Monday robbery
of diamonds valude at $4,000 was
done in this city and the shrewd viii
lain is at large. 1t was done in j.
]. Sweeney's handsome iewelry store
at the corner of Main street and Con
gress avenue. Geo. j. Mellinger of the
j. j. Sweeney Co. was behind the
counter and handling the goods at the
time. Exactly what movement by Mr..
Melinger gave the customer u chance
to play the trick is not known Some
thing must have attracted his atten-
ton and eyes to another part of the
store, when another box or case like
the one containing loose diamonds was
substituted for the real thing. And
the man walked out without any sus-
picion attaching to him.
The man who came first and got the
diamonds started the trade by saying
that he wanted to match an odd dia-
mond he had. This brought out the
drawer or box containing the loose
diamonds. When he left the store he
took the box of diamonds with him
and the trick was not discovered until
the diamonds were again wanted and
were looked for by the clerk and the
fake box was found.
AS to the value of the stones, Mr..
Sweeney, upon being asked, showed
his invoice. He was willing to pay
$4,000 for the arrest of the party. The
matter was kept quiet for a time, but
later it got out. Chief of Police George
Ellis and the force of city detectives
took the matter in hand in the after
noon or about noon.
The robbery was done about 10
o'clock in the morning. The discoy-
cry was made just before noon.
1t is thought the man who got the
diamonds had pal somewhere. The
box that was used to fill the place
of the one stolen was the counterpart
of it, except little shorter.
Mr.. Mellinger gave description Of
the man as being heavy set and red
complexion. They had some CONVEX
sation on the subject of diamonds and
the name of a well known citizen was
named in connection with his owner
ship of handsome diamonds. That,
of course, was only incidental With
Mr.. Mellinger behind the counter was
one of the employees of the establish
ment who was keeping an eye on the
deal, in fact assisted in placing the
box in which the diamonds we're sup
posed to be back in the safe.
After the police were notified of
the robbery they got possession of the
telegraph wires and notified all con-
ductors on trains that departed after
that hour to look out for the man de-
scribed as to main features. 1t seems
that he was endeavoring to buy a
stone to match for ear rings one that
he had There seems also to exist
considerable opposition to the theory
that the man who is in mind has left
the city. 1t is believed by Mr..
Sweeney that the stones can be iden-
titled by two or more Of the clerks
in the store, Sheriff Anderson of this
county also called upon Mr.. Sweeney
and is taking an interest in the mat
ter.

THIEF NOT CAUGHT.
MIR. Sweeney Offers $4,000 for the
Return of the Missing Stones.

Houston, Tex. The big diamond
robbery of Monday by which ]. J..
Sweeney & Co. lost over $4,000, has
not developed anything new on Tues
day 1t is talked of on the streets
and guesses are generally made that
the jewels will not be recovered, nor
the man apprehended. These utter
ances are based largely on the assump-
ton that the offender is an expert
and has been planning the trick for
days or weeks and knew about how it
would eventuate when he started to do
it.
Sheriff Anderson, while he has not
the case in hand, stated that he be-
lieved he could put his hand on the
man who had done it or knew lot
about it. Mr.. Sweeney made an of
fer of $4,000 for the return of the
diamonds. 80
