Constipation and Catarrh

For many years nave psen Wresoc
ling with the problem OF furnishing
the public an internal catarrh remedy.
Peruna has been the remedy that
have devised and 1t has certainly re-
lieyed many thousand people, yes hum
dreds of thousands of people. of chron-
ic catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
In treating these cases. l often felt
that It would be better II a laxative
element were added to Peruna-
feared to do SO, however, first because
of the number of catarrhal patients
who needed no laxative, and second I
was afraid of making such radical
change in a remedy that was already
doing SO well. Thus 1t was that con-
tinued to prescribe with the Peruna
bottle of Manalin to those who needed
a laxative. At last, under circum-
stances explained in my booklet, was
constrained to add tho laxative ele-
ment to Peruna. This constitutes what
is now known as the revised Peruna-
Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly re-
lieved of their constipation. Second.
the catarrh will gradually disappear.
And once the catarrh Is cured the con-
stipation leaves permanently. Then II
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
nently relieved of both your catarrh
and the constipation.

And then and there the name orig
mated. and not all of Brady's storm
lest persuasions could ever dislodge
1t. For the roses maker had already
decided that 1t should be named for
Judge Hagner, warm friend OF Mr.,
Bancroft, and Brady's bright particu-
lar star. and to have the choice of it's
name and the christening ceremony
swept out OF his reach at one fell
swoop would have tried the patience
of a saint.
Brady finally made the best OF It,
and contented himself with assuring
Judge Hagner that things would have
been different If he had had any say
in them
From this time on. however, the his
tory of John Brady and his precious
rose begins to take somber turn. Mr.
Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the
American Beauty to Brady as a tesla
ment of his affection and appreciation.
The famous gardens passed into other
hands, and Brady moved. with his
large and hungry family and his
handful of American Beauty rose
bushes. into a little house outside of
Washington.
Things went rapidly from bad to
worse. Brady had neither money
nor the knack OF picking up odd jobs.
His eldest son was still too young for
responsibility. and the ages OF the
others, in regular succession, dlmin-
ished punctually by year His wife
was frail. out of patience with power
ty. and worn % >xhaustiop with the
care of children.
Brady survived the first ->.t of this
bleak period by observing ihe Span
is proverb. Patience. and shuttle the
cards" No stress of want could make
him part with his rose bushes, though
his wife, regarding him as a sort of
monomaniac on this subject, put her
noblest persuasions into the task OF
undoing his resolve.
To his reiterated tales of the for
tune that would come to him some
day through the American Beauty
rose Mrs. Brady reasonably replied
that she and the children were hungry
that very day and hour. and that more
than her soul was sick with hope de-
ferred
But some prescience Of the inherent
value Of his rose kept Brady obdurate
to appeals. domestic or professional.
The world OF fashion had all but
forgotten the interregnum of the
American Beauty in the Bancroft gar
dens Rose culturists had thought,
many of them, that 1t had never out
lived its heyday. Only a few of the
more observant had remembered that
the treasured bushes had been a lega-
cy from Bancroft to his gardener.
One Of these last was the elder Of
the Field Brothers, wholesale florists
on the old Seventh street road, out
side of Washington. They made con-

When this was told to Brady. he
touched the hour of his supreme tribu-
lation. His world fell away from be-
meath his feet. Not once in the 1S
years since then has the stupor which
came upon him lifted for long enough
for realization of his misery to sift
through.
Matters went merrily with the rose
he made. Field Brothers, by skillful
advertising, were able to sell their ex-
elusive right to its reproduction for
$4,000. Within a year ten times that
amount was being paid for it by en-
thusiastic purchasers here and
abroad

Once a friend from France brought

an American climate. Brady nursed

enough. that France had been SO pre-
mature In this honorable business.
But the little alien rose bush sickened
and died. and was thrown aside. pre-
sumably at the end of its history.
Then came the shocking news from
England. that William Francis Ben
nett had won the red rose race. He
had had an astonishing luck with his
plants. and had finally established
their hardihood and their permanence

ed in secret. True, there was still the
American championship to be tried
for. but the first fine careless rapture
of success had been already captured.

er. So back they went to the seeding
beds. with renewed determination.
In the face OF such touching faith
and such abounding energy. the fates
we're bound to be kind. And SO. one
morning. a delighted yell from his
gardener brought Mr.. Bancroft sour
rying into his garden. to find that In
a bed of white and yellow seedlings
there stood strange red rose, look
ing for all the world as II 1t had come
to stay, Its stem had stiffness the
like of which had never before been
seen. Its petals looked to have the
hardihood to weather hundred dis
asters.
Where 1t had come from nobody
could find out. 1t might have been a
stalwart seed left from the scored
and discredited Mime. Ferdinand Je-
main" and 1t might have been just
that mysterious freak which the rose
culturist has come to take for granted
under the name of sport"
At any rate. there 1t was. and 1t re-
mained to be developed.
For 1t must be known at the outset
that getting a single bloom is the least
OF the rose culturist's troubles. In fact.
1t merely marks their beginning.
All new brands OF roses are grown
from these curiosities called sports.

sport" In due time he did It, And
when he had three bushes which he
