U. s. DISPENSATORY
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 zU abundant proof that Peruna is in reM ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory 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 (ca- tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti- nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca- tarrh of the liver and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treat ment of various forms of diseases pe- 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 a stomachic and as a 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 a sub stitute for quinine.
 Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispen satory as mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimu- lant 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- nials of what the people think of Pe- runa as catarrh remedy. The pest evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it.

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. MT. 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- fused the honor and remained a priv ate. At the expiration of his term he came back to this country and wan. dered to the famous Death valley and from there to the Tonopah district, from which he was lured in the late fall by the call of the gridiron.

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling the Dutch medical profession. It has broken out in the district of Ouddorp, not far from Utrecht, and Prof Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best efforts he can devise, has had to con- fess himself perpleXed. The disease is contagious affection of the heart, and the patients invariably develop high fever. There have been more than 100 cases.

 Using Cuticura Remedies.

q take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair White but She Was Cured by
 pr. 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 it's 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 S11 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 I did not rest as I should have, but kept up about my many duties. After a time I became so weak I could not do any work at all. l had severe backaches and such dreadful headaches in the back part and top of my head. My eyes were easily tired and at times I saw black spots before them. I consulted sev- eral doctors but without the slightest benefit. The pains were so intense that my hair turned white.
 "I lost continually in weight and strength and was almost in despair when friend recommended Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills. tried them ac- cording to directions and soon began to feel relief. At the end of three months had gained ten pounds in weight and had no moro trouble with my nerves. l have been in perfect health ever since and can heartily commend Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sd3G by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood purifier. They are laxative and blood tonic, they act equally on the bow. els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing the system by the natural outlet of the body. They stimulate the blood so to enable nature to throw of all morbid humors and cure all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. One or two taken every night will prove an invaluable remedy.
 Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it blood purifier unexcelled.
 Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
