Arewe claiming too much for Peruns
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrhi Havews
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedyi Let rs 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
ofthis herbalremedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment ofdepraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the stomach, chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice lea
tarrh of the liver, and In diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as 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 dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States DispenSatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. Itacts On the stom-
ach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as
stimulant on the genito-urinary MEM
branes. Useful in chronic oystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testi-
monials of what the people think OF
Peruna as catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

portant races. The duke. for some rea-
son put great reliance in these pro.
phejs and their prophesies- He always
read the paper. and he continually re-
commended it TO his friends.
But once at Goodwood. at the day 3
end, man came up to the duke and
said

another doctor for four months, the

and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried

RESERVED SEATS IN DINING CAR
President HarahaR of HIinOI Central
Gets Idea Abroad to Use in
America.

Reservation OF places in dining cars by
passengers is, according to President
Harahan of the Illinois Central system.
one Of the good features OF British and
continental railroads. Mr.. Harahan, who
has Just returned from his twenty-fifth
European trip. says that crowdlng in
diners or restaurant cars, as they are
known there, is entirely obvlated by the
custom Of making reservations for seats
at tables when the railroad ticket Is
bought. The meals. he says, are all table
d hote and served in two sections. When
the tables are all filled. two walters start
through the car and serve first course 10
all. Tit second course follows at the
proper time and in this way a carload
Of people may be quickly and satisfactorily
fed. Among Mr.. Harahan's observations
was that smoking by women all over Eu-
rope is increasing. They use cigarettes
usually in the restaurant cars along with
the men.
Il notice little change in methods of
railroad operation" says Mr.. Harahan
Conditions there are so settled that there
is not much new. Corridor cars are he
coming more popular and more are being
introduced. France, Italy ard Germany
are taking over more OF the privately
owned roads until now they are nearly
ell state lines. In Holland two railroads.
one owned by the state and the other
by a private corporation, parallel with
one another. In England. there are no
state roads. and I must say that they ap-
peared TO be much better managed and
operated than the government lines Of the
continent. One may notice that in Great
Britain private ownership shows in compe-
tition. On the continent. where the gov
ernment owns most OF the roads, there
Is little or no advertising or bidding for
business, while in England the papers are
full OF advertisements offering low week
end and excursion rates Ia the people.
In England the railroads are allowed
to pool under strict governmental super
vision. The pooling feature does not ap-
pear 10 throttle competition, as the lines
In England and Scotland are constantly
putting their different advantages before
the public"
Mr.. Harahan says except for short
trips and special excursions, the rates are
much higher than ours. particularly Is
this true Of sleeping car fares. Dining
car charges. he says. are about like those
OF American roads. He says tina while
there appears to be no Law against the
issuance OF passes. railroads OF Great
