SISTERS OF CHARITY
Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and
Catarrh—A Congressman's Letter.
I
In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Coruna a never failing safeguard.
Dr. Ilartmaru-receives many letters
from Catholic Sreters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich., reads as follows:
Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Siri- “The young girt who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryngi
tis, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. ”
—Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re
sults as the above letter testifies.

The following letter is from Congress
man Meekison.of Napoleon, Ohio:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0.:
Gentlemen: “I
have used several
bottles of Peruna
and feel greatly
benefited there
by from my ca
tarrh of the head,
and feel encour
aged to believe
that its con
tinued use will
fully eradicate a
disease of thirty
years’ standing.”
David Meekison.
Dr. Hartman, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons in the United
States, was the first man to formulate
Peruna. It was through his genius and
perseverance that it was introduced to
the medical profession of this country.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartmafi, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus, O.
Have You Kidney
or Bladder Trouble?
The Case of Mr9. Nancy Ballm
There are no diseases that more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and it behooves every man and woman suffering from these diseases
to have themselves cured at once. The body depends upon the Kidneys to throw off the waste
matter of the system, and when it fails to do this the result is an interference with digestion, a
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart.
Also rheumatism could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys.
Mrs. Nancy Ball, proprieto,' of the Ball
House,Coluriibia,Miss., says : “l was fora
Jong time a great sufferer from dropsy
complicated with Kidney and Biadder trou
bles; my feet and hands were swollen and
at times I was unable to walk about. My
family physician had exhausted his skill In
the treatment of my case without giving me
any relief. I was then induced to give
Smith’s Sure Kidney Cure a trial and to my
utter astonishment the first bottle relieved
me. and I am In perfect health and able to
attend to my duties about the hotel. 1
consider Smith's Sure Kidney Cure the great
est medicine of the age.”
MRS. NANCY BALL, Columbia, Miss.
SMITH’A 8T7RE KII>NEY CURE contains nothing harmful, but nevertheless it will
entirely cure Bright’s Disease, diabetes, dropsy, gravel, stone in the bladder, bloated bladder,
frequent desire to urinate, pains in the back. legs, sides and over the Kidneys, swelling of the

THE HORSE IN THE ARMY.
Why Bicycles and Automnbiles Will
Never Supersede Him.
Military experts seem disposed to
run new things into tlie ground.
When the bicycle came out it was
proposed to organize bicycle regi
ments. Of course, it would be a good
thing to have wheels at hand in cer
tain emergencies, hut the wheel
would be practically of no use to
an army conducting operations in
an}- Ordinary country, it (Mild not
be made use of on a march nor in
action. With roads filled with mov
ing columns of men and teams it
would be impossible for wheelmen to
get along. If all were mounted on
wheels they would simply pile up.
In an emergency it would be possible
to send a small force quickly from one
point to another if there were a good
road, but even then the horse would
be much better. In action nothing
could be done with the wheel, be
cause the machine could not be taken
over any ground where a battle would
be fought.
Now the experts, says the lioise
(Idaho) Statesman, are experiment
ing with the automobile. -Some of
the Europeans have an idea that
something wonderful can be done
with the new machine in a military
way. It is even proposed to utilize
it for making charges. It would in
deed be a formidable front that would
be presented if a line of the machines
could be sent against an enemy, but
where could a piece of ground be
found over which they could charge?
They would be more dangerous to
their occupants than to the foe. Be
fore they had gone half a mile they
would be heaped up in ditches or tan
gled up with fences, and in the
wrecks the occupants would be put
out of action.
The auto might be useful in send
ing * flying column to a given point,
for it has greater speed than the
horse, A thousand machines could
take a large force a long distance in
a very short time, but in practice the
speed of such a column could not be
much greater than that of a cavalry
troop. There would be enough
breakdowns to block the road, and
probably they would pile up in tine
style. The horse does not pile up.
He seldom falls, and if he does the
others get around or over him and
the column goes on. Ten thousand
men mounted could probably be
moved 20 miles as quickly as in auto
mobiles.
Indeed, it will be difficult to get
any machine to supplant the horse in
movements of large bodies of men
over all kinds of country. Such
movements require something in the
nature of instinct on the part of the
motive power. It must be able to
jump fences, avoid mudholes and
dodge trees. It needs the horse sense
of the horse to meet the requirements
of movements of that kind, and the
horse will remain master of the field,
though the occupation is one from
which he would no doubt prefer to be
relieved in favor of his horseless rival
that has no nerves to respond to bul
let wounds.
PREHISTORIC MAN.
Relics of the Handicraft of a Past Age
Found in Burmah.
To the Zoologist R. C. J. Svvinhoe
contributes some important notes on
prehistoric man in Burmah, says Na
ture. it will be remembered that in
1894 Dr. F. Xoetling announced in
the records of the geological survey of
India the discovery in a bed of fer
ruginous conglomerate at the oil
fields of Yenangyoungof worked flints
in association with the remains of
Hipparion antilopinus and Rhinoce
ros perimensis, thus carrying back
the existence of man in that country
to the older Pliocene or upper Mio
cene. A year later R. D. Oldham ex
pressed the opinion that, in the first
place, the hints are not confined to
the ferruginous conglomerate; and,
secondly, that they are not chipped
by man. As the result of a recent vis
it to the locality Mr. Swinhoe con
firms l)r. Xoetling’s view that the
chipped Hints, and likewise certain
facetted bones, are the works of
men’s hands; but, on the other hand,
he regards them as of palaeolithic
age, the place where they were found
being apparently a workshop of that
period.
A Fortune for Bears.
One of the leading officials in the
ministry of justice of the Canton
Berne has recently made a singular
bequest, leaving the bulk of his large
fortune to the bears in the zoological
gardens for their permanent upkeep.
It was hoped that the legacy would
be vetoed by the council of state, but
it has been officially sanctioned.

“I want to thank you for what you
have done for me, and recommend
Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound to all girls whose work
keeps them standing on their feet in
the store. The doctor said I must
stop work ; he did not seem to realize
that a girl cannot afford to stop work
ing. My back ached, my appetite was
poor, I could not sleep, and menstrua
tion was scanty and very painful. One
day when suffering I commenced to
take Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vege
table Compound, and found that
it helped me. I continued its use, and
soon found that my menstrual periods
were free from pain and natural;
everyone is surprised at the change in
me, and I am well, and cannot he too
grateful for what you have done for
me.” — Miss Janet Paine, 530 West

"The Proof of the Podding Lies In the
Eating.”
The doctors are dumbfounded, the drug
gists astonished, and the people excited and
joyful over the wonderful cures and tremen
dous sales of the great Remedy, St. Jacobs
Oil. Every case of Rheumatism—some of
many years’ standing—has given way to this
powerful remedy. T housands of certificates
like the following can be furnished as to its
value:—
George Scleyer, Publisher of the Chilton,
Wis., “Volksbote.” used St. Jacobs Oil for
“almost unbearable pains in the back, which
had completely prostrated him.” A. few ap
plications cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bellaire, O., was for a
long time severely troubled with Rheuma
tism. St. Jacobs Oil instantly relieved and
entirely cure her.
Rev. Dr. B. Pick, of Rochester, N. Y., suf
fered so intensely from Rheumatic pains that
he was unable to preach. Several applica
tions from a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil “re
lieved him.”
F. Radder, Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Two
applications of St. Jacobs Oil cured me of
great and long-continued pain in my foot.”
Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son, Drug
gists, Muskegon, Mich., write:—“St. Ja
cobs Oil has a wonderful sale. We sold
eight bottles at retail yesterday. This will
give you some idea of how well it is liked
in this section.”
Mr. Louis Ilinkel, of East- Poesten, Kill,
N. Y., says:—“I call St. Jacobs Oil the best
liniment I ever used. It cured me of Rheu
matism and pain in the back.”
Herman Rittner, Manchester, N. H.:—
"I have tried St. Jacobs Oil, and found it ex
cellent. All those who have purchased it
speak of it as ‘simply incomparable.’ ”
Oeo. G. Erffle, Palestine, 111.:—I was in
bed suffering from a swollen leg, I used St.
Jacobs Oil, its effect was wonderful. The
following jay I attended to my business
again.”
Dr. Otto Fuls, Reading, O.,. writes:—“The
sale of St. Jacobs Oil is constantly increas
ing; it is praised by everybody, and never
fails to give entire satisfaction.”

CONVINCING PROOF.
Case No. 41,206.—Capt. Alfred a
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, can,
ton, Ohio, says: “I had a weak back
ever since I was a boy, and about six
years ago the cause devi^ped into
rather a bad case of kidney complaint
It was not a little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and theharder
I tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
“When the attacks were in the acute
I stage it was difficult to sit down, nad
! when down it was just as hard to re
gain an erect position, on account o„*
| the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pang*
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
“In time, distressing and terribly in
; convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
“I took everything which came tomy
notice from reading, from observa
tion, and which my friends and ac
; quaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
“It became so well known that I had
a pronounced case of kidney com
plaint that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
“When Doan’s Kidney Pills attracted
my attention I wanted to try them,
just as I had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durban & Wright
Co.’s drug store for a box. Relief fol
lowed. I knew after a dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
“Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan’s Kidney Pills by saying, I would
willingly pay one month’s wages for
a box of them if I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan’s Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that the3' act just as
represented.”
Four Years After.
“Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. I gave this remedy my unquali
fied endorsement in the summer of
1896, because of the results I obtained
from a course of the treatment. I
can now add to my original endorse
ment the experience of a number of
others who are just as enthusiastic,
when they express their opinion of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, as I.”
