PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND

In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which
it is compounded as upon the ingredients used.
First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug
in the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with 1.-THE
drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made
with strict reference % the use for which the compound is intended. The
drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRE
LY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined.
1t takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There
is no iaw of chemistry. of pharmacy. by which the exact balance OF proper
ton a be determined. EXPERIENCE is THE ONLY GUIDE.
In compromising a catMrh remedy Dr. Hartman has nae many years
experience. In the use of the various ingredients which composed the ca
tarrh remedy, Peruns, he las learned, little by little, how to harmonic the
action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how
TO arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the opera
alton and the chemical pecunariies of each several ingredient in order to
produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of DOCTORS pharma-
Cts II chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH
THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEM
SELVES.
The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes
of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, OF affected by age. 1t
must be 81 combined that it will remain just the same whether used in thu
logging " mining camps of the northwest IF the coffee plantations of the
tropics.
A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any drug
gSt " physician to reproduce Peruna. 1t is the skill and sagaciy by which
these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its pecu.
liar claims is a N eHicacious catarrh remedy.
However much virtue each ingredient of Pernna nay possess, the value
of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which
they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only
way a medical compound can be made of real value.

NEGROES KILLED IN RIOT
Fight With Marsha!s al Musko-
gee, Indian Territory.
nead Men Were Known as "Moncy
Finders" and Dug For

fatally shot just above the heart; Guy
Fisher, clerk in a wholesale estab-
:ishment, was shot through the Shout
der; Sam and Gilbert Barker and a
man named Scott, all negroes, are
lead. Two other negroes were badly
wounded. Six other desperate me-
groes are in jail.
The negroes belonged to the
United Socialists" established in
many Indian Territory towns, and
have defed the United States author
tiles. William Wright, a negro
preacher, was the leader. The men,
bers of the gang all live in a sort of
d club. where the battle took place.
All the members wear badges. Pa
trolman Cofeld went to this house to
serve a warrant on Ebert Barker
and was shot down. A riot call was
sent to the United States Marshal's
office. Deputies Bud Ledbatter, Err
nest Hubbard, Paul Williams and
Paul Smith responded.
Give Bud Ledbatter hell! remem-
Der he kills niggers!" screamed a ne
gro woman A negro cooked his Win
chester, but Ledbatter was too quick
for him. The fight was on. The
four deputies began shooting at the
two Bankers, who were on the porch.
One had a Winchester and the other
4 six : shooter. Both were shot
through, but they fell against the
side of the house and continued to
shoot at the police until their guns
were empty. Not a deputy was
touched. Two other negroes were
shot from the windows of the house.
Fifty shots were fired. The negroes
killed were riddled with bullets. The
four deputies emptied their guns.
Ledbatter emptied his Winchester,
threw it down, emptied his automatic
revolver and then rushed back to
headquarters for more ammunition.
The negroes killed were known as
money finders because they went
around at night and hunted for
buried money.

The Check Came Back.

The Monthly Bulletin of the Ma
tional Association of Credit Men
prints a paragraph from a letter of
a prominent manufacturer which is
clipped from the Stoves and Hard
ware Reporter. The paragraph re-
feTed to illustrates the inconsistency
and hardship sometimes inflicted
upon the manufacturer and jobber in
settling bills, and especially small
sums through the medium of local
checks"
1--WE regret the necessity of having
to return your check for twenty-seven
cents. We know the note is all right,
but, unfortunately, we cannot get the
bloated capitalists and bankers to col
lect matters of this kind without
charging us for it, and as it would
cost us twenty-five cents to collect
your twenty-seven-cent check and a
two-cent postage stamp to acknowl-
edge receipt of it, there would be
nothing left, SO we take the liberty Of
returning your check, and would ask
you to send us stamps for the
amount"

A Trio.

The Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is
fond of relating an incident that oc-
Cured while he and Lord Rosebery
were returning from the theatre one
night. While crossing the street they
were accosted by a ragged boy who,
after sweeping the mud from their
path, asked for aims. Lord Rose
berry was about to give the boy a coin
when an idea struck him. "My boy"
said Rosebery, 'if you will hit that
policeman a swat I will give you ten
shillings."
Prompt to the word the boy crept
in back of the officer, struck him in
the back, then turned and ran, but to
the dismay of Rosebery, the officer
caught the boy after a chase of a few
yards. Not willing to leave the boy
in a fix Rosebery tried to fix things
up with the officer, but the worthy
gentleman would not listen, and took
them all three up to the station.
They were then taken before the
judge of the station, and after sur
veying them through his glasses, he
took down a book and, turning to
Chamberlain, asked his name. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain" was the reply,
and the judge smiled. Rosebery re-
sponded also with his full title, Lord
Rosebery."
The boy was next, and stepping to
the front he drew himself up to his
full height and waited for the usual
question, your name?"

A German inventor, E. Runner,
has recently contrived an apparatus
for transmitting spoken words to a
distance, by means of electric waves
such as are used in wireless tel
egraphy. The. invention is based on
the use of the Poulsen high frequency
arc, which sends out waves through
the ether. The varying sounds Of the
voice when impressed upon the arc
through a telephone connection pro-
duce variations, which are believed
to affect both the frequency and the
intensity of the waves, which, On be-
ing transmitted by ean of an an
tenna, or aerial wire, about five feet
long, were transformed at a receiv-
ing station some forty yards distant
into audible words. Runner believes
that by employing antennae of great
er length he will be able to send
spoken words to a distance of several
miles.-Youth's Companion.

Two negroes were preparing to go to
their rooms for the night, and were

other. With a cry of rage Henton
jumped at Jackson and knocked him
down on the stone floor. He was on
his feet in an instant, however, and
the two lunatics were at each other.
For almost two hours they fought
with their bare knuckles, alone in
the small passageway, blocking the
entrance of the attendants, who,
when they were finally attracted by
the screams, only gazed on in terror.
