Columbus. Ohio. July 15.-In reply
to many letters about my recent arti-
Gle on catarrh and constipation wish
to make the following statement:
Constipation IL becoming more
prevalent every day. Nearly one-half
|of the human family are troubled with
|it more or less. This fact presents a
serious complication in the treatment
Of chronic disease.
Thirty years ago when I was pre-
scribing Peruna every day only a small
fraction OF the people needed laxa-
tive. But l have found by experience
that more and more a laxative must
be used.
Peruna originally contained no lax
ative element. I used to prescribe the
laxative Manalin to be used In case
laxative was needed. This necessitat-
ed the patient buying two bottles Of
medicine instead Of one.
As constipation became more gem
|eral I finally concluded 70 add . lax
ativs element to Peruna. The, new
|Peruna n made with laxatiye lngre-
|dient. The old Peruna (ka-tar. no) 10
without . laxative. On that account
some prefer the old Psrana. some pre-
fer the new Pernna.
the new Psruna Il fsr people who
have some catarrhal ailment and yet
lnesd . laxative Sod ct all drug
stores.
The old Peruna -tsr-no) II for
Ithase pAopao who have some catarrhal
ailmsnt but need no laxative.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The announce
ment made during the argument be-
fore the United States commerce court
in the case brought by the Florida East
Coast railroad against the interstate
commerce commission that the road
would open up its extension from
knights Key to Key West this month,
brings to public attention the fact that
the most remarkable piece Of railroad
engineering the world ever knew-that
of laying track over bridges and is
lands 120 miles out to seals now COM
pleted.
Change Views.
Railroad men who laughed at ar ex-
tension built at cost Of something
like $4,000 a mile and called it Flag
ler's folly" now admit that it was a
piece Of far-sighted business saga city.
The Standard Oil nlagnate dreamed CT
accomplishing three things with the
Key West extension, and the approach
ing opening of the Panama canal
makes railroad men believe he will not
miss his ambition by very much.
Key West is a city, half Spanish,
half American, with $4,000 inhabitants,
most of whom saw their first train
when the luxurious special with It's
millionaire guests celebrating the open
ing of the road, rolled into Key West.
