Dr.. Hartman Says:
Write to Peruna Testimonials If Yos
Want to Know the Truth.

The following letter was received b.
DR.. Hartman through his regular cor.
T~espondence;
II notice the testimonial of Mrs
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. If l should write her do
you suppose she would give me further
particulars? / have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. | have been In
clned to write you a great many times
but these stories about patent medi-
cine advertisements have discouraged
me from doing so. I am afflicted with
catarrh and should like very much to
ind a remedy such as your article de-
scribes."
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith In advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them. so much controversy concern
ing them, | am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
wish you would write Mrs. Boyle.
as one woman to another. I wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial.
whether her testimonial represents the
truth.
hope you will remember that she is
a housewife, like yourself. that she has
something to do besides write letters.
that she is a woman OF moderate
means and cannot afford to write these
letters and pay her own postage. I
hope you will enclose stamp so she can
answer you without loss to herself.
Mrs. Boyle Is a very estimable lady
and no doubt you will both profit by
being acquainted with each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh I would be very glad
to hear Of the result. ! can assure you
that no use will be made Of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic catarrh
who take Peruna. There is no doubt
about that. Some surprising r~ecoveries
are reported almost daily. I have thou
sands Of them in my files. PERUNA
is FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES.

are making inquiries for the old

The following editorial. which
appears to us to be good argu-
ment, is from the St. Louis
Republic, February 18th
'rhe fight over the Bates home
rule bills is hot and heavy. Men
prominent IN st. Louis CONNER
clal, social and religious circles
hay resigned from the support
ing committee by reason Of their
iisapproval of them. 0rganiza-
hons Of citizens representing GER
tain Of the best elements of the
eommunity-for example, the
Eva1gelical Alliance-have pro
feste against them. There is a
grave doubt whether they meet
popular approval in st. Louis.
Meanwhile, the Legislature. in
view Of the platform pledges of
both parties. is in doubt and hes
itation.
Why not embody in the Bates
bills a clause referring them to
to the people of st. Louis for
approval before they become
operative? The beauty of this
plan is that it simply applies
the rrinciplc of home rule to
the solution Of the president diff
ficulty.
Take the police bill. That
provides for the appointment of
Police Commissioners by the
Mayer instead of the Governor,
while r~eserving to the Governor
the power of removal. Why not
arrange to let the people of St,
Louis vote upon this question?
We are told that the people
of s.. Louis want this bill passed.
Well, let as find out by asking

Jefferson City Letter.

Home Rule for st. Louis is a
plat,om measure. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to its
enactment. Not to give st.
Louis home rule would to break
faith with the people who voted
the Democratic ticket. The prin-
ciple of home rule is democratic
and the legislature will neither
be democratic or true to the
Democratic platform if it fails
to pass a fair and just home rule
bill. A Democratic caucus APP
pointed three members of each
house to draft such a bill and
when the committee concludes it's
labors and submits a home rule
measure for st. Louis every Dem
ocrut in the General Assembly
will doubtless support it. The
bill reported will amply safe
guard the first day of the week
against lid-lifting and will guar
antaa the enforcement Of the
law.
Tue legislative sky is not so
bright for the Suffragettes this
week as it was last. The sudden
capitulation of the House and
Senate committees to the de-
mands Of the women delegations
indicated that there would be lit
tie opposition to the submission
Of the question to the people.
But it nov appears as if the
committees chad their fingers
crossed" and only reported the
bills out to please the fair sex.
The Senate has since killed a
bill flowing women to serve on

1t is q well recognized fact among

keeping the kidneys working prop

This Is even more important than
for the bowels TO move regularly.
The kidneys and bladder are the
tilterers and sewers of the body, and
they must filter the blood and keep it
pure. When they fail to do this
properly, you suffer with pains in
the back or sides: have bladder or

tired and worn out. If you have any
such symptoms, don't neglect your
