Bead this testimony to the merit
of the greatest of Kidney specifics:
J. W. Walls, Superintendent of
Streets of Lebanon. Kentucky, living
on East Main Street in that city,
says:
“With my nightly rest broken, ow
ing to irregularities of the kidneys,
suffering intensely from severe pains
in the small of my back and through
the kidneys, and annoyed by painful
passages of abnormal secretions, life
was anything but pleasant for me.
Ko amount of doctoring relieved this
condition, and for the reason that
nothing seemed to give me even tem
porary relief, I became about dis
couraged. One day I noticed in the
newspapers the case of a man who
was afflicted as I was and was cured
by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
His words of praise for this remedy
w-ere so sincere that on the strength
of his statement I went to the Hugh
Murrey Drug Co.’s store and got a
box. I found that the medicine was
exactly as powerful a kidney remedy
as represented. I experienced quick
and lasting relief. Doan’s Kidney
pills will prove a blessing to all suf
ferers from kidney disorders who will
give them a fair trial.”

Russia’s Latest Demand on China is
No Surprise to the German
Government.
NO GERMAN INTERESTS ARE INVOLVED.
Belief in Berlin flint United States
and British “Open Door" De
mands of Itassia Will he Diplo
matically Brushed Aside by the
Russian Foreign OUlce.
Berlin, April 2G.—Russia’s latest de
mands on China are no surprise to the
German government. Rome indications
even exist that the foreign office»here
was privy to Russia’s purposes in ad
vance and expressed indifference to
them. This is in exact accord with
the policy to resist Russia in nothing
in which she is really in earnest. The
constant expression in government
quarters concerning Manchuria ever
since Chancellor Von Buelow’s declar
ations in the reielistag, two years ago,
has been that Germany has no in
terests there and hence that Germany
is simply in a position of calm ob
servance. Von Buelow might find it
consistent with this attitude to join
with other powers in expressing the
hope that trade will have freedom in
Manchuria. Russia would not object
i^Q^iermany’s participation in such
^•ppeeseiataiiog,' - ^Vhat Germany will
not do is to" join in any energetic,
pressure at Pekin to prevent China
from yielding on every point. The ex
pectation here is that all kinds of
written protests, from Great Britain
and the United States especially, will
be lodged at the Russian foreign of
fice and that these will be replied to
with ample courtesy and reasonable
ness, but that the correspondence will
be the only satisfaction the United
States and Great Britain will get for
their open door demands. Germany is
reconciled to Russian mastery in Man
churia.
CONFIRMED FROM TOKIO.
The Japanese Minister In Uomlom
Advised of RiiMMinn Demands.
London,April 26.—Viscount Hayashi,
the Japanese minister here, has re
ceived a cablegram from the govern
ment at Tokio fully confirming the re
ports of the Russian demands regard
ing Manchuria. The minister ex
pressed the opinion that they were
entirely opposed to the policy of the
open door, but he added that he was
not yet in a position to say what ac
tion would be taken by the interested
powers.
DISCUSSED AT WASHIMiTON
The Belief ExprrNiird that Man
churia is Dost to China.
Washington, April 26.—The Japa
nese minister, Mr. Takahira, and
Baron Von Sternberg called upon
Secretary Hay Saturday and it is be
lieved that the Manchurian question
was discussed. Secretary Hay has no
advices from St. Petersburg or Lon
don, but it is expected that he will
shortly hear from the latter capital
through the ambassador here. These
conferences and exchanges are all
preliminary to the preparation of a
protest which is to be made against
the Russian demands, but it is not
yet clear what form this will take.
The protest, however, must be di
rected not to Russia, but to China,
who will be warned that the nations
which sign the protest will not look
with favor on any action by China
that will alienate Chinese territory or
will confer special advantage on one
nation (meaning Russia) over others.
The tone of the press advices from
the Kuropean capitals have done much
to depress officials here who have la
bored so long to preserve the integri
ty of China. It begins to appear to
them that Manchuria is hopelessly
lost to China, and the best that can
be done now is to save as much as
possible from the wreck and there
fore the effort will probably be made
to procure from Russia a binding
promise that the powers will not be
entirely deprived of the right to ex
ploit Manchuria commercially. It
may be possible to secure the opening
of one or two ports such as was pro
posed in the pending treaty between
China and the United States, which
will probably have to be amended in
view of these last developments.
THE GUESTS OF NEBRASKA.
President Koouevelt and Party En

Lincoln, Neb., April 26.—President
Roosevelt and party became the
guests of the state of Nebraska at
4:45 o’clock Saturday afternoon with
the arrival of their special train at
Alliance, Neb., and until the party
leaves the state, Tuesday morning,
the president will be accorded one of
the most brilliant and hospitable re
ceptions ever given to a chief execu
tive in this state. At the first formal
stop, Saturday afternon, at Alliance,
(Jen. Culver and a special reception
! committee on behlf of Gov. Mickey,
: welcomed the party to the state. It
is probable that at no other point in
the state will so great a stretch of
country be represented by visitors as
at Alliance. Many persons traveled
100 miles overland to see the presi
dent at the western Nebraska town.
President Roosevelt will spend one
hour and 15 minutes in Alliance.

PROMINENT PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE PE-RU-NA.
Dr. M. C. Gee, of San Francisco, Says,
“Pe-ru-na is of Especial Bene
' fit to Women.”
ROBERT R.
ROBERTS M.D
Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Wash
ington, D. C., writes:
“ Through my own experience
as well as that of many of my
friends and acquaintances who
have been cured or relieved of ca
tarrh by the use of Hartman’s
Peruna, I can confidently recom
mend it to those suffering from
such disorders, and have no hesi
tation In prescribing it to my pa
tients."-— Robert R. Roberts.
A CONSTANTLY increasing1 number
of physicians prescribe Peruna in
their regular practice. It has
proven its merits so thoroughly that
even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against so called patent medi
cines and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession today. Catarrh, as
every one will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people of United States.
F. II. Brand, M. D., of Mokena, 111.,
uses Peruna in his practice. The follow
ing case is an example of the success he
has through the use of Peruna for ca
tarrh.
Dr. Brand says: “Mrs. ‘C.,’ age 28,
had been a sufferer from catarrh for the
past seven years; could not hear plain
and had watery eyes. She came to me
almost a physical wreck. She had tried
the Copeland cures and various other
so-called specialists, and had derived no
benefit from them. She told me she did
not want to spend any more money on
medicines unless I could assure her
relief.
* “ I put her on Pe
Truna and told her
Tto come back in
I two weeks. The
f effects were won
Iderful. The cast
down lookshe had
when I first saw
her had left her
and a smile adorn
Iedher face. She
| told me she felt a
Tdifferent woman,
T her hearing- was
I improved and her
teyes did not trou
* ble her any more.
“This is only one case of the many I
have treated with your valuable medi
cine.”—F. H. Brand, M. D.
Catarrh may invade any organ of the
body; may destroy any function of the
body. It most commonly attacks the
head, nose and throat, but thousands
upon thousands of cases of catarrh of
the lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder
and other pelvic organs have been cured
by Peruna.
Peruna is able to cure catarrh whor
ever it may be located by its direct
action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means inflamed mucous mem
branes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse
iJ1V1^0ra^e catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane no matter
where it may occur in the body. Its
action is the same on the mucous lining*
of the nose as on the mucous lining of
the bowels. It cures the catarrhal in
flammation wherever it may occur.
Dr. It. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T.,
writes:
“Perunais tbe best medicine I know
of for cough and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Reside
prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had apatientbut saidithelped
him. It is an excellent medicine and
it fits so many cases.
“ I have a large practice, and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. I
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering.”
We say l’eruna cures catarrh. Tha
people say Peruna cures catarrh. Promi
nent men and women all over the
United States from Maine to California
do not hesitate to come out in public
print to say that Peruna is what it is
recommended to be, an internal, sys
temic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh,
wherever it may be located.
Dr. M. C. Gee's Experience.
Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
Cal., he says:
‘•ThereIs a general objection on the
part o1 the practicing physician to ad
vocate patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds ot
people, it demonstrates Its own value
and does not need the endorsement ot
the profession.
“Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in San Francisco that
I am convinced that it is a valuable
remedy. I have frequently advised Its
use for women, as I find it insures
regular and painless menstruation,
cures leucorrhoea andovarian troubles,
and builds up the entire system, i also
consider it one of the finest catarrh
remedies I kno w of. i heartily endorse
your medicine. "'-—M. C. dee, At. D.
Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is com
monly called. Especially in the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis
agreeable symptoms of female weakness
make themselves apparent. In crisp,
cold weather chronic sufferers with pel
vic catrrrh do not feel so persistently the
debilitating effects of the drain upon
the system, but at the approach of
summer with its lassitude and tired
feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh
feels the need of a strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring
tonic for such cases but if persisted in
will effect a complete cure. Write for a
copy of “Health and Beauty,” written
especially for women by Dr. Hartman.
If you want to read of some cures also,
write for a copy of. “ Facts and Faces.”
That will surely convince you that our
claims are valid.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President ol
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

FIGHTING BLOOD
Is Pure, Rich, Strong, Vigorous Blood.
Pure blood is essential to an active mind, strong body and bold heart.
Not only is it necessary in a trial of physical strength, but equally so in the
mighty struggle for worldly wealth. The victim of impure blood is gener
ally half-sick, lacks spirit and energy, and is unable to stand the strain of
the contest—besides this, he is in constant danger of contracting some life
threatening disease. To have pure blood, the kidneys, liver, stomach and
bowels must be free from obstructions, and strong in the performance of their
functions. This desirable condition can be secured and maintained through
the use of PRICKLY ASH BITTKRS, the “World-Celebrated” system
cleanser and blood purifier. A short course with this great remedy vitalizes
the blood and puts the system into prime condition. Invigorates the body,
promotes good appetite, restful sleep and cheerful spirits. As a household
remedy to relieve indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn, bad breath, belching,
flatulence, constipation and for keeping the system in order it is invaluable.
SOLD AT DRUG STORES. PRICE S1.00.
