performing their duties to the
satisfaction of their coustitu-
encies, 1t seems singular, in
deed, that people should he de-
MED the right TO continue them
in office In the event they are
unfaithful or incompetent, the
remedy lies III the fiat of the
people spoken at the polls. If
it be so that the people are in
capable of self-government.
The voter in the country can
and should in good conscience
resent such an imputation-so
can and should the city voter.
The friends of the amend
mont ask that ii be adopted so
az to ut once relieve the city
voter from u restriction Of his
suffrage rights in choosing "a
city's two very important Off
GERS, and thus put him on an
equality with the country voter.
They point To the fact that ex-
perience is an essential quail
iicatlon in the discharge of the
duties of the positions, and
that unless the amendment is
adopted, the requirement f
experience by treasurers and
commissioners of the revenue
for cities, is constitutionally
inhibited. They urge that the
doctrine of local self govern
ment demands that the electo-
rate of cities shall have the
privilege of electing whom they
please TO administer their fis
cal affairs. They insist that in
last analysis the vital consider
alton that is now at issue has
to do with business; that Il bus
mess proposition is at stake:
that the business affairs of
cities and of the State, require
that If a treasurer or if a com
missioner of the revenue has
rendered efficient service, and
is better qualified for the Office
by reuson of experience, than
any other citizen lacking exper
fence could we'll be, then the
Constitution should not, as in
unamended form it now does.
prevent the people from re-
electing the man whom they
are convinced is t h e most
thoroughly equipped for salts
factory service. That ia all.
That's the case as the advo-
Gates of the amendment see it,
and 1t seems TO US that the
counties should turn i'm and
help TO remove the burden OF
ineIigibility from citizens who
desire to offer for officers, and
of acknowledgements of voters
in electing their public servants.
You have happily escaped that
injustice, Mr. County Voter
help us city folks TO escape it,
too, by voting for the amend
ment here discussed and by
reminding your neighbors OF
the Importance OF doing like
wise --Lynchburg News.

In lecture to the Royal Society Of
Medicine in London last week Prof.
Metehnikoif. whose subject was tuber-
culosis, was inclined to be sceptical Of
DIR. Friedman's reported discovery. I'VE
are still cropping in the dark said the
famous professor. Prof. Metchnikotf re-
ferred to another sensational announcer
ment which we have received from Ber-
lin within the last ten days, that of DIR.
Friedman's cure" The professor said
that in common with all others who
were working on the subject he hoped
that at last something definite had been
found, but il was too early as yet to
offer any criticism. There was one thing.
however, which he felt justified in say
ing. namely, that DIR, Friedman had seen
fit to announce that he proposed to keep
the remedy secret. In saying this he
expressed the regret Of Others who were
equally eager to find cure that the
efficacy Of DIR. Friedman's discovery
could not be tested.

Made BY Old-Time Pe-ru-na

of life; IL may happen that this lady
will live to see MS buried"
After a hasty examination of the ease
] prescribed Pe-ru-na to be taken every
hour, and il she was not better in the
morning to let me know.
II was two weeks before again heard
| from the case, when the husband entered
my office, radiant with JOY, and, not
waiting for the usual salutatons, eX-
claimed;
/ doctor, my wife is WE'LL"
ooh, no, you mean she is better |
| replied. But the enthusiastic husband
insisted that his wife was "well and the
heartiest eater at the table"
The fact was that, while she had made
astonishing improvement, she was
obliged to continue the use of Pe-ru-na
many months. In less than year she
was entirely well, and has remained
SO since, and her treatment from the
beginning to the end was Pe-ru-na and
nothing else. TO have seen her at the
time of the first visit it would have been
impossible to believe that any medicine
or other earthly power could have saved
her.
This case is no more unusual or as
tonishing than great many others
that my list contains, not only of dis
eases of the lungs, but of all mucous
surfaces.
Cases of dyspepsia, darrhGa and dys.
EMERY which have withstood all other
treatment have yielded at once by the
use of Pe-ru-na.
Numerous cases of Bright's disease of
the kidneys, acute catarrh and rheuma
tism, female diseases, that had been
treated locally for years, We're instantly
relieved and finally recovered by Peru
ma. In short. every disease affecting any
mucous membrane of the body that has
not already gone beyond all earthly help,
frequently makes astonishing recovery.
As general tonic and appetizer, Pc
ru-na has no superior. 1t is certain
remedy for worn-out or tired-out hui
man nature. Cases of nervous prostra-
ton, loss of vitality and sleeplessness
are all treated by Pe-ru-na with such
undertaking success that wherever it is
used it ranks as the greatest tonic
known.
In future articles | will recite other
cases of similar interest. In doing so |
shall not allow the slightest exaggera
ton or fiction to mar the realism which
the simple facts alone give to any mar

OF the cures that Peru-na used to make.
Mrs. T. S. Eberlein then of Pittsburg,
Pa, afterwards of keokuk, Iowa., dur
ing the year 1882 began to develop usual
symptoms of catarrh of the lungs. Cough
was one of the first symptoms, which
gradually grew worse in spite OF all
treatment. The sputa, at first slight,
became abundant and purulent, oeca

loss of flesh and tagging appetite filled
her relatives with forebodings. The hec-

nature of the disease.

employed Cough medicines, tonics, cod
liver oil and stimulants were resorted to
by her physicians without avail

Clifford of Allegheny City, was next
called; and then DR.. Riggs of Pitts

tons were held, but nothing checked tho
steady progress of her malady.s Not d
doubt had existed in the minds of hei
/ physicians or friends az to the nature
of her disease, nor as TO its fatal ter
mination. The repeated examinations
of her lungs indicated the rapid strides
with which she was nearing the end.
Her physicians were honored mem
bers of the medical fraternity, in whom
Mrs. Eberlein's husband and family had
perfect confidence. And the sorrow with
which they listened to their decision that
they had exhausted everything known
to them in vain for the relief of the
wife and mother of the afflicted house
hold can be better imagined than de-
scribed. As is common to this sort of
patients, Mrs. Eberlein continued hope
full long after her attendants believed
her to be beyond cure.
| was practicing at the time in Pitts
burg, and fancy that ! would be able
to relieve her was, during her illness,
repeatedly expressed by Mrs. Eberlein,
but it was regarded as the merest whim;
and, as they were employing the best
medical talent the city afforded, no at
tention was paid to it. At last she be-
came so weak and emaciated that an
attendant was constantly at hand to lift
her during the terrible coughing spells
to which she was subject, and which
were frequently followed by alarming
sinking spells, during which she was
often thought to be dying. 1t was dur
ing one OF these frightful paroxysms,
when her husband was supporting her
tenderly and vainly trying to palliate
her sufferings, that she again expressed
her belief that if DR.. Hartman were
sent for he could relieve her.
Willing to indulge her in any wish, as
she was thought to be dying by all,
was Immediately sent for, but being
very busy was not able to respond until
late in the evening of the afternoon on
which / was sent for. Ii was not ex-
pected that she would survive until I
could reach her home, but hope kept her
alive until came.
1t would be difficult to imagine
more diseouraging case for doctor to
TO cure than Mrs. Eberlein's
at the moment of my first visit. Let me
describe her symptoms.
A drawn. pinched countenance, of
ieathly pallor, and livid lips. Sunken,
