If the truth were known, the proba-
as many cases of catarrh Of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in cxis-
tcnce. We have great many unsolic-
tied testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en-
tirely relieved them of catarrh of tho
stomach, that they were wretchcd and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, II you have
stomach difficulty, 1t is up to you to act
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
1.-THE affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely TO cause 1t.
"liighly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As chronic gastritis (catarrh of tho
stomach) is essentially n secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state Of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
OF the nose (Ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles fiabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue Is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is n com.
mon occurrence.
"Pain Is not common. When present
IL is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri-
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom.
ach frequent and persistent.
Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress,
Constipation usually quite marked"
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions DIR. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.
II you have any of these symptoms
get bottle of Peruna. Take dose be-
fore each meal. See If your stomach
does not Immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion al
once resume business.
People who object TO liquid medicines
can now secure Peruna tablets.

National Body Goes on Record
Against Plan.
SCORES SHIP SUBSIDY PLAN
stand Against Aldrich's Bank Scheme
10 Unanimous - Strong Legislative
Platform Adopted - creasy's First
Report Read.

Des Moines. Ia. Nov. 1.-THE Ma
tional Grange. representing million
farmers. went on record as opposed
to the Aldrich central bank scheme.
The western representatives at the
grange meeting were particularly Wig
orous in their denunciation OF Aldrich
and his plan.
In his annual address at the open.
ing OF the forty-third session OF the
National Grange. National Master
Bachelor denounced the Aldrich prop.
osition.
"The question OF amending our ma.
tional banking laws so as to provide
currency system that will prove
more elastic In times of financial strin.
gency. will come up in congress In the
near future" said he. Among other
plans suggested as remedies for the
present admittedly unsatisfactory con.
dltions. is that of the creation of q
great central bank, which will be urg-
ed by the financial and speculative In
terests located in New York city and
known commonly as wall street
80 far as this plan has been out
lined by its advocates. It's inevitable
tendency would be to create gigantic
banking monopoly and to place the
thousands of small country banks at
the mercy of the great financial inter
ests. As the grange has always de
nounced monopolies in any form. 1t is
advisable that appropriate action be
taken to express our opposition to any
changes in our currency or banking
laws that would give one bank or com.
bination OF banks advantage over all
the others OF the country"
These recommendations were EN-.
bodied In a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted.
National Master Bachelor also rap.
ped President Taft on the latter's ship
subsidy stand.

some progressive recommendations to
the national body and sounded mum.
Der of points in which farmers are
deeply interested. His report was re.
