True, we have had two sessions Of
congress. but who can expect to es-

The chief events of the year at home
have been the passage Of the reci-

water thrown over us by Canada. the
passage of the tariff revision bills and
their veto by the president, the mo-

Texas during the Mexican revolution.
the supreme court decision dissolving
the Standard Oil and tobacco trusts.
the bringing of suit against the steel
trust and criminal prosecution of the
heads of the beef trust, the admission
to statehood Of New Mexico and Ari-

in American waters. the flight Of an

OF the Maine and the finding that it
was blown up from the outside. and
the semicentennial of the first Bull
Run and the opening of the civil war.
The Defeat Of Reciprocity.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
was completed and presented to con-
.,ress early in the year. 1t removed
TIE duties on many articles between
the two countries and reduced them
on others. Raw materials constituted
the bulk of the free list. for which
reason the agreement was opposed by
4 large section of American farmers.
Despite the opposition from this and
other sources the measure promptly
passed the house of representatives.

StitutiOnal amendment being defeated
by four votes in the senate during the
SiXtytirst congress. but passing both
houses of the SiXty-second congress.
An amendment providing for federal
control of elections was inserted in
the senate. however. and this was not
agreed to by the house.
The first statehood bill was vetoed
by President Taft because Of the pro
vision for recall Of judges in the Ari-
IONA constitution. The measure was
then amended by emitting this sec
ton. after which 1t became a law.
Among the interesting features Of
the extra session was the fact that the
speaker did not select the standing
committees. as in the past. but that
this was left to the ways and means
committee. For the first time in SIX
teen years the Democrats had control
of the house and with the progressive
Republicans mustered majority in
the senate. Champ Clark Of Missouri
was elected speaker and Oscar W. I'm
derwood majority floor leader.

The regular session met on Dec. 4.

Serious Kidney Disease Treated
By An Old Fashioned Doctor

tie of medicine. Did not see him again
for about three weeks. Once more he
called at my office for another bottle
of medicine, which was his last call.
A month or so afterwards a neighbor
of his called and got a bottle of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically well man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
1 had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was a remedy that I
had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has since
been sold under the name of Peruna-.
L could not quite understand how it
was that Pefuna should operate so
beneficially IN such seemingly different
diseases. 1 had not. yet grasped the
correct philosophy of disease. I did
not then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels Nothing of that sort
was taught in the books in those days.
It took me years before I clearly com
pretended that catarrh was a disease
liable, to attack any organ of the body.
Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membranes The muscous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity in
the body. Thus it is catarrh may settle
anywhere where there is a mucous
membrane,
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. 1 insist upon it, however, that
Peruna is not cure-all. I use it for
eatarrh is liable to affect so many diff
ferent places, disturb so many differ
ent functions, derange so many differ
ent organs, it does seem to many peo-
pie as if regarded Peruna as a cure
all
The above narrative is simply one of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy of Peruna in such a
variety of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case of kid
ney disease is catarrh of the kidneys.
All cases of Brights disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys This
being true, and it also being true that
Peruna is a catarrh remedy, it follows
that a great many cases Of kidney
disease would be identified by Peruna.
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.
