induced Bulgaria to occupy the Eastern
Roumelan section of the Oriental rail-
way has been prepared for submission
to the Powers, Germany and Austria
have made formal protest against the
continued occupation Of this road, and
Great Britain and France have joined
with them in notifying Bulgaria that
its position in this matter is unjusti-
fable. The memorandum declares that
it is no longer possible to re-estabish
the status quo ante, and renews the as
surance that Bulgaria win safeguard
foreign interests. Bulgaria is insist
ing upon Turkeys recognition of the
diplomatic character OF j. S. Guechof,
the Bulgarian diplomatic agent at Con-
stantinople. who recently returned here
as protest against the failure Of tine
Turkish foreign minister to invite him
to dinner given to the diplomatic
body.
Constantinople, Oct 2.--The views ex
pressed by Turkish officials indicate
that the conflict with Bulgaria respect
ing the Oriental railway is in a fair
way toward settlement. Negotiations
are now proceeding with the admins
tration at Sofa. It is also believed
here that Diplomatic Agent GuecboT

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have We
abundant proof that Peruua is in real
ity such a 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 lining various
organs Of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formOsa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient OF
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action Of cedron that
IT is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter
mittent diseases as substitute for
quinine.

monials of what the people think Of PEI
