CATARRH Of the respiratory organs
~ Is a common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, 1t
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that Of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna for the past few,
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that it has given us great
satisfaction.

After suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure; The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small doses and a salve. l Ithen used to bathe the sores in a mixture whlch gave almost intolerable pain. In addi- fion used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc Salve, --s SalVe,

INCARCERATION OF MR. RUFF


 ness in the Ford case, at San Francisco, but was allowed by the court to oe taken out of the city jail and again placed in a private residence under guard.
 A guided cage bents the bird of fine plumage. But as men go, when it be- comes necessary to cage them up, the very fact which warrants their captiy- ity strips the situation Of all consider atlon as to the guiding.
 It is held to be matter of constltu- tional right that an American citizen is not 10 be deprived of his liberty without due process of law; and behind this, again, there is the maxim almost an axiom-thst the law is DO respecter of persons. So we have come to she theory, if not to the practice, that when 8 man is convicted of crime he becomes ward of the state, to be held in durance vile, without distinction as to his wealth, his former life and hab- its, or as to the spectacular character of his criminal career. Whether he has been an iron moIder or the molder of trauiulently begotten fortune; whether he has been accustomed to live on a sl 8 day or on slO0 a day; yhether-it he is thiei--his particu- lar line has been highway robbery or polite bribe taking or black mailing according to theory, as we assert, 1t is all one with the state.
 But unfortunately for the respect which every man should entertain for law and it's enforcement, we permit our theory to be belied in practice. At San Francisco there is a glsring instance ot this sort. Abe Ruef since the con- fession of his crime has been magnif- fcently housed in a residence that was formerly the domicile of the Mayor. Here, as the report goes, Mir. Ruef has enjoyed all the conveniences, comforts, iuxuries to which, In his mode ot spending the proceeds of blackmail, he has become accustomed. Naturally a good many people have hinted that this did not appear to be quite as it should be. This hint reached the ears of the court that committed Ruei; and the ju- dicial conscience being touched, 1t ordered that he be sent forthwith to the common jail, to there endme, as he might, the discomftures of that equal ity which crime establishes in the eye of the law.
 But 1t further appeared that the des- igna,ed place for the retention of com mon criminals "is not fit for dog to live in," whereon Ruef, whose crimin. allty is not of the common brand, after a brief, disagreeab!e lingering, is once more euscoused in fashionable quarters, in the enjoyment of the creature com forts and luxurles for which he has the money to pay.
 Thus in the period of the Ruef de. cline is there a streak of good fortune. But when we come to explain the mat ter to ourselves or to apologize to the unfortunate thieves in that San Fran cisco bastile which is not fit for the habi.ation of dog, what shall be the form of our explanation or of our ex. cuse? Shall we say for this lapse in the even-hsnded operation of the law that, though we regret it, necessity compels us to extend indulgent favor to crime, provided it be clothed in broad cloth |?
