A NOTED JUDGE SAVED BY PERUNA
Had Catarrh Nine Years AN Doctors Failed
HON GEORGE KERSTfiN OP CHICAGO
Hera Geo Kersten a well known Justice of the Peace of Chicago says
J was afflicted with catarrh for nine years My catarrh was
located chiefly in my head I tried many remedies without avail
applied to several doctors but they were not able to cure me 1
learned of the remedy Peruna through the daily newspapers After
taking the remedy for 18 weeks I was entirely cured I consider my
cure permanent as it has been two and a half years since I was cured
Any man who wishes perfect health
must bo entirely free from catarrh Ca
tarrh is well nigh universal almost om
nipresent Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known A cold is the begin
ning of catarrh To prevent colds to
cure colds is to cheat catarrh out of its
ictinis Peruna not only cures catarrh
but Drevents it

SAYS BRITAIN IS RIGHT
John ITnjrs Haxnznonu Condemns Oowa
Paul and His Policy
According to John Hays Hammond
the American engineer whose activity at
Johannesburg while associated with the
Rhodes mining interests at the time of
the Jameson raid in 189G came near
costing him his life at the hands of- the
Beers Americas sympathies in the British-Boer
conflict should be not with Oora
Paul but with her majestys forces Mr
Hammond gave expression to this view
at a brilliant dinner given him a few
days since in Chicago He spoke of the
condition of affairs in the Transvaal
prior to the war and took the opportunity
to say that England was carrying on a
just war and that the Boers were wholly
to blame for the present difficulty
Mr Hammond made the assertion that
the Transvaal mining industry would
never have achieved success were it not
for tho fact that English capital and
American ingenuity became interested
and entered the field The Outlanders
he said were invited to the territory by
Oom Paul who when they had served
his purpose denied them the right to ex
ist there by reason of the oppressive laws
JSP 138 wv
jomr II ATS IIAMMOXD
he directed against them The Outland
ers paid nineteenths of be taxes and yet
had little or no voice imthe government
All that is wanted by the OuJanders
said Mr Hammond is tbe establishment
of the principle that there shall be no
taxation without representation
In Mr Hammonds opinion the pres
ent strife was forced upon President
Kruger by his inability to longer con
trol the widespread conspiracy he had
built up against England Oom Paul
said Mr Hammond was waiting for a
rupture between Great Britain and
some other power when he would make
his effort to attain independence For
many years the Boers were actively
pursuing a scheme of conspiracy foi
driving the English from South Africa
and were buying guns building fortifi
cations and hiring foreign officers in anticipation-of
a conflict
It might be supposed that Mr Ham
mond was prejudiced in the matter in
favor of the English because of his
participation in movements against the
Boers but he claims this view of the
matter would be wrong He spoke as an
American he said and put the facts of
the case plainly before his auditors
Side Lights on
e Boer War
The health of the horses in South Af
rica is a question which is worrying
British officers almost as much as the
health of the men On account of the
lack of railroads and the quickness of the
enemys moves mqunted troops are al
most as essential as guns With the
change from the dry to the wet seasons
comes the danger to horses The average
death rate among the horses now from
sickness alone is about 25 per cent In
some localities it has been known to
reach 80 and even 90 per cent The dis
ease works rapidly It often happens
that a trooper is riding along when his
horse begins to stagger then drops and
dies on the spot Donkeys are immune
to the disease but mules are not
The Kafirs Basutos and Zulus are the
native runners But it is not by run
ning that they do the best of their work
This they do by shouting their messages
from hill to hill They are the South Af
rican telegraph system The first news
of the battle of Glencoe which reached
England and America came to Cape
Town in this way Whatever message is
given by a native negro is never altered
by any one who forwards it though it
may be passed along by 2000 men The
precise words that are uttered by the first
man are the identical ones which the last
one hears
In the pursuit of Gen Cronje to Paar
deberg some of the British regiments
marched twenty seven miles in twenty
four hours They got ahead of the trans
port and the men lived on quarter ra
tions When the white flag of surrender
was displayed by the Boers a regiment
stationed on a hill saw it and set up a
cheer which ran down the lines and was
taken up by the men in the trenches An
officer dashed to headquarters with the
news
On Christmas day three Englishmen
who had previously received passes to
remain in the Free State were comman
deered and ordered to proceed to the
front They declined to fight against
their countrymen and on the same day
were taken to the market square at Har
rismith and shot
Well up to the front among the popu
lar heroes of the Boer war is Bugler
Dunn the boy of 15 first of the Royal
Dublin Fusileers to cross the Tugela
and who wounded in the right hand
while sounding the advance immedi
ately sounded the advance wifff his left
hand
Lord Roberts is not the only Britisli

Eight years ago I got sore hands commencing with a burning sensation
on my fingers and on top of the hand When I rubbed them vou could
see httlo white pimples I felt like twisting my fingers out of their sockets
I had high fever and cold chiil3 ran over me and so I kept It gom until
I was tired out Nights I had to walk the floor until I fell asleep Hv
hands peeled like an onion the finger nails got loose and the water
ran out and wherever there was a little pimple there the burning fire was
that happened at least ten times I am running a blacksmith shop horse
shoeing and I would not shut up the shop for anybodv but it was hard
My hands puffed up worse than a toad When I drove horse nails the
water from my hands ran through the bandage oh to the floor My cus
tomers refused to look at my hand I had a friend take me to the doctor
he gave a solution of something to bathe my hands I went to another
doctor 1 think for a I found
