these inspired statements are only

u. s. DISPENSAT0RY
Describes the PRINCIPAL Ingredients Con-
tanned in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic cstarrh2 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in reali-
tn such a catarrh remedy2 Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients OF
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient OF
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says OF
this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment Of depraved
mucuous membranes, chronic rhinitls
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intes-
final catarrh, catarrhal jaunaice (ca-
tarrh of the liver), and in diseased mu-
cous membranes of the pelvic Organs
1t is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pecu-
liar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruns, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and az
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by th'
medical profession for the past fift,
years. The seeds are to be found II
very few drug stores. The Unite'
States Dispensatory says of the actiol
of cedron that it is used as a bite
tonic and in the treatment Of dysentery
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil OF copaiba, another ingredient {
Peruna is classed by the United State
Dispensatory as a mild stimulant an
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach an
intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimular
on the genito-urinary membranes
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dyl
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chroni
diseases Of the liver and kidneys.

FAST TRAIN WRECKED.

-Fifty-four passengers
and a train crew Of about a dozen
were injured in the wreck OF the
Pennsylvania Special. the is hour
train between New York and Chica-
go, which occurred at a sharp curve
at Black Diamond. seven miles east
of Johnstown. shortly after midnight.
No one was killed and all the passen-
gers have been accounted for The
engine and combination smoking car
remained upon the rails, but the three
Pullmans plunged over so foot en-
barkment into the Conemaugh river.
Fortunately the cars were not sub
merged. A scene of wild confusion
ensued. All Of the passengers were
in their berths and were thrown
promiscuously around the cars. All
the passengers on the train were in
iured more or less. but with the ex-
ception of John p Kline Of Chicago
it is said, none of the injured are dan
gerously hurt The train was run
ming as minutes late and trying tc
make up time. Nobody seems to know
what really caused the accident. but
it is supposed 1t was caused by the
springing of bolt connecting one OF
the rails to the steel tie. The in
iured were taken to Altoona. Greens
burg and this city. A majority o.
them, however, proceeded west on
a special train. The train was the
finest on the Pennsylvania and many
prominent passengers were aboard
Following the wreck great disorder
prevailed A special train bearing the
passengers only slightly injured lief

the passengers lost their clothing

some of the passengers was very odd
as they were wearing other persons

more threatening to-day than ever be-

Japan, and the likelihood that the
Korean question will come up again
within a few months, are indications
or an approaching crisis in japanese
affairs that make this work particular

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich will live. Some
writer's claim that 1t will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty years
are still breeding and producing feath-
ers. It is the experience OF Arizona
farmers that among the birds having
good nutritious green feed deaths sell
dom occur except as the result OF acci-
dent. A dog or other small animal
will sometimes frlghten ostriches and
cause them to run into the fence, which
NAV result In broken leg. When
this happens the bird may as well be
killed, as few ever recover from such
