we abundant proof that Peruna is in

us see what the United States Dispen.
satory says Of the principal ingred-
tents of Peruna,
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is large

praved mucous membranes, chronic

sia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic
intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundica
(catarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. It is also recommended fo1
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. Is used
as a treatment for chronic constitu-
tional diseases and scrofula.
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 eedron that it is used as 8 bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as
substitute for quinine.
These are not all Of the medicinal
ingredients Pernna contains. Suffice
it to say that it is a compound Of
herbal remedies, each one of which
has, from time to time, been recon-
mended by physicians Of all schools,
for different catarrhal conditions.
If you want to know what the peo-
pie say send to Us for a free book OF
testimonials Of what the people think
of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. After
all has been said, the oest evidence for
OF against any remedy is the testio
uaony of those who have tried it.

new DATE SET
Tariff Bill to Go on It's Passage Next
Wednesday.

Washington, April 2.-The Repub-
lican leaders of the house today, as
the result of a careful canvass, ex-
pressed absolute confidence in their
ability to pass the tariff bill when
ever they decided to put it upon it's
passage.
The decision now is to put the bill
on it's passage next Wednesday, the
seventh instant.
The announcement was confidently
made by the Republican leaders that
they would have sufficient strength to
vote down motion by the Democrats
to re-commit the bill with instructions
which would be the test.
Notices are being sent out by Re-
publican Whip Dwight for every Re-
publican member of the house to be
in his seat Monday to vote on a rule
looking to the early passage of the
Payne bill. The understanding today
among the Republican leaders is that
the rule will provide for separate
vote in the house on the lumber and
hide schedules
The ways and means committee
will amend the bill SO as to strike off
the proposed countervailing duty on
coffee and the duty on tea, and to re-
store a duty of 25 cents a bushel on
barley.
The interests which demand that
the duty be taken off petroleum and
the duty on beer increased are con-
tinuing their fight for a separate vote.
1t is probable that the rule will per-
NIT a vote on the coal and iron
schedules.
