FOR TWENTY YEARS MAJOR MARS r SUFFERED FROM CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS. iff Qwidfwflawol DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES Pe-ru-na Creatine a National Sensation In the Cure of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys. Major T. H. Mars, of the First Wiscon sin Cavalry regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the following letter: "For years I suffered with catarrh of the kidneys contracted In the army. Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who bad been helped by Pe runa advised me to try It. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief. I kept taking It four months, and am now well and strong and feel better than I have done for the past twenty years, thanks to Peruna." T. If. Mars. At the appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at onco the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, Ercventing the escape of serum from the Iood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions Bromo-Seltzer Promptly cures all Headaches -gnKeeley Cure Cor. 1 9th d Leavenworth Sts.

There Is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put tocether, and until the Inst few years was supposed to be incur able. Kor a great many vents doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable.

For more than a year laborers havo been engaged in clearing tho land and preparing it for crops. Modern build ings are in course of construction, and within a short time tho farm will bo In full operation. Breeding of superi or wheat, corn and oats will also bo attempted. Now fruits will bo intro duced, and those already grown in this country will bo improved upon. Diseases of pears, peaches, plums and other fruits will bo studied with a view to stamping out tho ailments of fruits and making fruit growing moro profitable. Experiments for tho pur pose of determining the best forage crops and tho most economical plans for feeding cattle will be some of tho features of this interesting place.

All of them drifted Into Egypt, whero they abjured Christianity, pro fessed Mohammedanism and joined the forces of the Mahdt when that strenuous party was at the height of his power.

Leo's former homo is ono of tho most beautiful spots in tho vicin ity of tho national capital. Tho man sion stands on the brow of a hill which slopes' away half a milo to tho Potomac, 200 foot below. Tho view from tho portico of tho old mansion had been famed for a century. Whon Lafayette was a guest at Arlington ho pronounced tho prospect from tho porch ono of tho most beautiful he liad ever looked upon. Slnco Lafay ette's visit tho view has been changed, now beauties havo been addod, whlio some of tho old ones woro destroyed by tho ravages of war. Tho complet ed capitol, with Its majestic dome, tho symmetrical Washington monument, the beautiful Congressional library and other architectural features havo taken their placo in tho picture, whlio a grovo of majestic trees which graced tho slope below the houso woro utterly destroyed during tho greatest civil conflict over waged. but these apostates went far beyond the dervishes in cruelty. Their pres ence with tho . MahdI ultimately be came known, and tho feeling toward them among tho English soldiers was quite different from that felt toward the dervishes, who were regarded as bravo men and their legitimate ene mies. Yet, while thousands of better men fell befoto the sweep of the Maxims in tho terrible charge at Omdurman theso npostatcs escaped. At least their bodies wero not found on tho battle field, although a most careful search was mado for them. It is sup posed that they fled to the south, and aro now hiding with some of tho tribes of central Africa or tho south ern Soudan. Should thoy over fall into the hands of tho English it will not take long to decide their fate. Tho call of tho wild, unrestrained life is ono that at times appeals to many.
