CONSERVATIVE
 STATEMENT IS
 GIVEN PUBLIC
Birmingham Man Consents
 to Brief Statement
Does Not Wish to Influence Anyone, But States Facts
 Based on Actual Results

n. Watkins Of Birmingham, made the Following statement Thursday: T am against publicity in connection with a thing of this kind, said H. Watkins
 but have had what seems a very pleas ant experience and Therefore consent to this brief statement. I have used this ncw tonic Stuminatone for several weeks ras,. having procured it first in New Or leans and based upon actual results IT
 my case, can say that it is the best 5 thing l have ever taken. I do not wish to Influence anyone into obtaining it when perhaps it would prove of no benefit to them, so simply state that I. personally, have been benefited and am pleased with the results" 4
 The principal clements of Stummatone were tested out in the great foreign hos pitfalls before the tonic was introduced in Iris country and the progress of the 4ii;s 0Guction ii America is being watched with keen interest by the medical fratern- jty throughout the world.
 One of the neurologists stationed at the Gum Drug company, corner Twen- tieth street and Third ave1ue, to meet the public and explain the nature Of the remarkable new tonic, said: "I have some trouble in persuading prominent people who have tried Stummatone to give an inGtrsement They object to doing 50 because they fear that some people might get the tonic who would not be helped by it and that they would be morally re- sponsible.
 However there are scores of Birming- ham people who are rapidly renewing thei- strength and energy through the use of Stummatone, and this goes to show that our preparation has d mission to per- form and is, unquestionably, performing that mission. One of the chief advan- tages of Stummatone lies in the fact that 1t contains an element which scientists say is the only sure means of combating the putrefactive germ in the intestines the cause of most ailments and dyspepsia Stummatone contains no harmful element and is not a patent medicine, but a pro- prietary tonic that positively provides you with the proper nerve food. with the necessary proteid matter and builds up tue entire system by putting the two most important organs. the stomach and the intestines, in perfect shape "--Adver- tisement.

 of Interruptions Dealers


 Montgomery, November 9.-(Special.)- Birmingham stock dealers and dairymen have been the victims of interruptions dealers in feed for live stock. believes C, H. Billnssley chief clerk of the state pure food bureau. In order to delve to the bottom of his suspicious, an inyestl- gation will be made, to determine the source of the infected feed stuffs, and to publish warning. Several samples of the suspected feed stuffs have been re- ceived at the bureaus office, and appear to be damaged and dangerous. They con sist of cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls. and not mixed food: therefore, the state law regulating the sale of feed stuffs hardly can touch them, and the cnly resort of the bureau is to issue a warning against the firms selling the damaged stuffs.

The only physical culture I believe in is to have something to do every day that calls into play both the mental and physical powers Something that you are in terested in Something you believe In. Eat frugally. At your age use meat sparingly. Make no use of narcotics oi any sort. Drink cold water freely. anu If you wish to do exactly as do, keep q bottle of Eeruna in the house all the time. At the slightest appearance of cold, or sneezing, or cough. chill. or stomach derangement, take dose or Peruna before eaen meal Tor few days until the symptoms disappear. Also use the cold water towel bath every morning.. described in the Ills or Life, lsent gratis.

 I have been reading your articles in the newspapers lately and see that you are putting up the old time Pe- runa under a new name. While the old time Peruna was in its glory l used to prescribe 1t frequently for my pa tients. But since the change made in the formula in which a laxative was added, I have not been certain whether had better. prescribe it or not. l am anxious, however, to prescribe Katar- no for I-believe 1t to be one of the best tonics I ever knew Of. in doinB this can I send my patients to- the drug store, or must they so to McDonald- Steube Co. as indicated in your letter.
 My Dear Doctor=Ail wholesale druggists keep Katarno. Any retailer who does not keep it in stock could easily get it of them. If for any reason your patients cannot get Katarno of the druggists they should address The Katarno Company, Columbus. Ohio.

s. B. Hartman, NJ. D., Columbus, Ohio. known all over the world, prob ably has the largest correspondence of any doctor. in this country. He has @ corps of Trained assistants to dispose of the letters received each day. Of course, the doctor cannot personally answer all of these letters, but other doctors in his employ for over twenty five years attend to the details. Occn- sionally, however, a letter is brought to the doctor himself for answer. A few of the letters answered personally by pr Hartman in his regular corre- spondence are given below as samples of the letters he is answering every day. The names and addresses of the writers of these letters, of course, are withheld, as the doctor treats all pro- fessional correspondence with him as strictly confidential. No one need fear that his name or address will be used when writing to Dr. Hartman.
 \ MOTHER;--I have raised several children and during the time when milk was the principal diet l have had trouble to keep their bowels regular. Constipation has been the only serious difficulty I have had to contend with. What do you suggest as a remedy for a child three years old that Is contin- ually constipated?
 I believe my remedy Manalin Is adapted to your wants exactly. To be sure. there are several other remedies for constipation. especially prepared for children, advertised. I am sure, however, that Manalin is just as good as any other remedy on the market,
