Peruna has for long time been re-
garded as the remedy par excellence for
conditions of this kind.
The accompanying testimonials are
sufficient to indicate the promptness
with which Peruna relieves these
symptoms and the satisfaction which
people express concerning the use OF
Peruna.
Catarrh Of Stomach.

WARD WILL NOT TESTIFY.
Friends Insist that He Remain Silent
indefinitely.

LANSING, Mich, June At seems
to be generally understood among the
friends of Rep. Chas. E. Ward that
the inquest into the death of Miss
Edith Presley, proofreader of the senate,
who died after an operation in Detroit.
will probably not be assisted by Mr..
Ward himself.
Mr.. Ward is improving rapidly, can
talk little and read bit, but he can
not be put under the mental strain of
an examination for several weeks.
In the second place, Mr.. Ward will
not and cannot be obliged to talk on
the matter before coroner's jury A
coroner's court is objected to by Mr..
Wards friends, because there are no
rules of evidence governing it, and
lawyers or jurymen are at liberty to
ask about any matter they see fit.
A third contingency has been sug-
gested. Will some one attempt to take
Mr.. Ward to Detroit by legal force
This contingency is regarded by his
friends with the greatest calmness. 1t
would mean, they say, to throw around
him the protection due man under
arrest, which is of greater silence-it
would give him all the rights of a de.
PENDANT.
From these things it now appears
probable that the wish of Mr.. Ward s
friends will be that he remain silent
indefinitely, and make no effort to
contribut to to the mystery or its I'M
raveling. T.,

Spring and Summer catarrh.

There is form of catarrh especially
prevalent in spring and summer, called
by DIR. Hartman systemic catarrh..
This form of catarrh especially de-
ranges the stomach, bowels and other
organs of the abdomen. The whole
mucous tract lining the stomach, liver,
bowels and kidneys is in an inflamed
condition, and these organs fail to per-
form their proper function.
Systemic catarrh may be or may not
be accompanied by catarrh in other
parts of the body. In some cases there
is hacking cough. 1t may be also as
ISOLATED with catarrh in the head.
But, in typical cases of systemic ca
tarrh all the organs of the abdomen are
in weakened and sluggish condition.
Dyspepsia ard BiIiOusness.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, at
other times biliousness, or the patient
may be suspected of having kidney dis
ease or appendicitis.
Systemic catarrh presents symptoms
which resemble closely a great many
different diseases.

abbreviated by saying that these new

but the best on any fresh water in the

respect to furnishings. The rooms,
sleeping comforts ventilation and
cuisine are altogether admirable on
these truly palatial steamers.

Expensive Water

1t will cost Uncle Sam over one hun
died thousand dollars to place fresh water
supply for his troops Of coast arlillcrlmcu
at Fort Grcblc, which guards the passages
of Narragausett Bay and now considered
one OF the most important defence, in these
parts.
Some years ago artcsiau wells were
bored and used at Forl Grcblc with success,
and the water appeared pure, Tut for some
time the water from these well, has been
brackish and the supply was shut of to
prevent sickness among the coast artillery
men, who style their garrison one Of the
happiest in the army.
The war department has taken by con-
demnation proceedings, Inc Casey farm in
Saunderstown, to the west Of The fort, and
there will build a large reservoir, and run
six inch water mains across the passage to
Fort Greble for a water supply for both
drinking and fire fighting purposes Mar

Worn-Out

If you are in this condition,
your nerve force is weak-the
power is giving out, the or
gans of your body have
slowed up" and do their work
imperfectly. This fail.re to
do the work required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
are weak the heart is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins; the stom-
ach fails to digest food; the
Kidneys lack power to filter
impurities from the blood, and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
