Those Peruna Testimonials
How Are They Obtained?

refer such questions to body OF men
who are already convinced of the
worthlessness of proprietary medf-
cines. To give such a body of men
the unlimited authority to decide
whether our claims for Peruna are
valid or not is a manifest violation Of
my constitutional rights
Ny claims are based both on cred
table theoretical grounds and upon
irrefutable statistics. But I am quite
willing to have our claims as to the
composition OF Peruna properly and
thoroughly Investigated, and If found
to be false a proper penalty should
be fixed. Or IL / am making any
statements concerning disease, as to
the nature, symptoms or danger of
any disease, If 1 am making any such
statements as to unnecessarily fright
en- the people by false assumptions. I
am willing to submit to any unbiased
tribunal or investigation.

inform you what Peruna has done
for me. / have been afflicted with ca
tarrh for several years 1 have tried

than many larger States. No other
State has two Senators whose terms Of

NEW YORK STOCK
MARKET IS SOFT
Foreign Monetary Stringency
and Other Factors Serve
to Depress Prices.

NEW YORK, March THE New
York stock market was soft today, and
the foreign money situation is given as
the cause. The slump was general, and
ran in some cases as far as 2 points,
though the average was a little over
point. There was little foreign selling.
however. Some uneasiness was caused
by developments in the time money
market and the report that long funds
were tightening brought some selling
and proved an incentive for liquidation
by commission houses. The announce
ment that the selection of judges would
be left by President Wilson to the At
torney General also caused some ad-
verse comment. Trading was dull, and
favorable items. such as the st. Paul
statement, were offset by feeling Of
unrest and realization of the indiffer-
ence OF the public to the market. 1r-
regular prices on the London exchange
reflected the uneasiness of the money
market Money here was at SA per
cent. 1t is estimated that the foreign
national loans for the immediate future,
including the sl5o, 900 short-term jap
anese notes, will require half a billion
dollars.
Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania. and
Western Maryland were exceptions to
the general list of declines. The first
two stocks were steady and the last
showed a slight gain. Union Pacific
was a point and a half off. That COM
pany has been forced by the Govern
men to relinqulsh title to coal land in
wyoming valued at s3,OoO,00o. on the
ground that the property was obtained
by fraud and Misrepresentation.
The railroads are reported to be ne
gotiating for 5000 cars and $50 locomo-
tives. The Seaboard Air Line report for
January shows a gross increase OF
$S55. .0SS and a net increase of $50. .7sS.
Lazard Freres announce that they
have engaged $2.000,0V0 in gold for
shipment to Paris Nothing has been
given out regarding the final destina-
uon Of the gold, but II is assumed
that the import has been arranged
either &c strengthen the position of
the bank of France or indirectly to
money market where the effects of
preparations for the April l settle
ments have already become acute.
Goldman Sachs & Co, will ship
$4s5,e00 gold to Argentina on tomor-
rows steamer and the Hanover Ma
tional Bank has engaged $500, 900 in
gold coin for shipment to South
America. The Nassau City Bank will
take $40o, 200 for the same destination.
This brings tomorrow's shipments to
South America to $2,9O0.000.
