B. Hartmany Presi dent The Hart man Sanitarium LIKE a DEMON grip has crossed our country, leaving behind scores of physical wrecks. Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thousands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic ca tarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna. Never in the history of medicine has a remedy received such unqualified and un iversal eulogies as Peruna. A New York Alderman's Experience. Hon. Joseph A. Flinn, alderman Fifth District, writes from 104 Christopher street, New York City, as follows: "When a pestilence overtakes our people we take precaution as a nation to preserve the citizens against the dread disease. “ La grippe has entered thousands of our homes this fall, and I noticed that the people who used Peruna were quickly re stored, while those who depended on doctor's prescriptions, spent weeks in recovering, leaving them weak and emaciated. " I had a slight attack of la grippe and at once took Peruna, which drove the disease out of my system in a few days and did not hinder me from pursuing my daily work. " I should like to see our Board of Health give it official recognition and have it used generally among our poor sick people in Greater New York.”—Joseph A. Flinn. D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union, writes from 15 Western avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.: “ Following a severe attack of la grippe I seemed to be affected badly ail over. I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so 1 could neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. “ One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and X procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me.”—D. L. Wallace. Mr. O. H. Perry, Atchison, Kansas, writes: ‘‘Again, after repeated trials of your medicines, Peruna and Manalin, I give this as my expression of the wonderful results of your very valuable medicine in its effects in my case after repeated trials. “First, it cured me of chronic bronchitis of fifteen years' standing, by using two bottles of Peruna in January, 1894, and no return of it. “After I was cured of bronchitis I had la grippe every winter for several winters. But, through the use of Peruna, it got gradually weaker in its severity, until it dwindled down to a mere stupor for two or three days. Now the stupor does not trouble me any more."—O. H. Perry. A Congressman’s Experience. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen—“I am more than satisfied with Peruna, and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and cattarh. 1 have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy." Very respectfully, George H. White. If you do not receive 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 advice gratis.

Large 2 oz. package, 5 cents. The man who is his own best friend has few others. One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of B information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary i to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative I and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as— Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon tinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones t alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of i the remedy—^Syrup of Figs—and the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.

CATTLR—There was only a fair run of cattle, but the market did uot seem to have the snap that characterised the trade the previous day. The steer mar ket was & little slow and rather uneven. Some sales were made that were about steady, but others were weak to a dime lower. The good heavy cattle suffered the most, and In fact buyers did not seem to be at all anxious for the better grades, and as a result sellers had a rather hard time to dispose of that class. The cow market did not show much change. Trad ing was not exactly brisk, but still the cattle kept going to the scales and by the middle of the forenoon practically all the early arrivals were disposed of. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In yester day’s notches. The speculators all seemed to be anxious for cattle owing to the fact that they carried over very few from the day before, and as a result sellers had little trouble In getting very satis factory prices for what they had to offer. HOGS—There was a liberal supply of hogs at all points and as a result prices took a tumble. The decline at this point amounted to about 5® 10c. Trading was not very active at any time, as it seemed to be hard for buyers and sellers to agree on prices. The light weight hogs sold largely from $7.20 down. Medium weights went from $7.20 to $7.25, good heavy hogs from $.25 to $7.30 and prime heavies sold mostly from $7.30 to $7.35.

Bulletin Showing Geographical Loca tion of the People. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The census bureau on Friday issued a bulletin on the geographical distribution of pop ulation in the United States. It shows that almost 96 per cent of the total population live in the country drained by the Atlantic ocean; over 53 per cent in that drained by the Gulf of Mexico; 44 per cent in the drain age area of the Mississippi river; al most 10 per cent in the area drained by the Great Lakes; 4 per cent on the Pacific coast, and half of 1 per cent in the Great basin. The proportion living within the re gion drained to the Atlantic ocean is steadily diminishing, while the part drained to the Gulf of Mexico is be coming relatively more populous, as Is the case, in a still more marked de gree, in the Great basin and the Pa cific ocean region. Of the foreign born, 93 per cent live in the region drained by the Atlantic ocean, 36.4 per cent in the region drained by the Gulf of Mexico, and 15 per cent in that drained to the Great Lakes. The pro portion in the region drained to the Pacific ocean is 6.1 per cent. Out of every 1.000 negroes, 998 are found in the regions drained to the Atlantic ocean, and 61.4 per cent are in the lands drained to the Gulf of Mexico, the proportion in the west and on the Pacific coast being trifling.

The relation of woman’s nerves and generative organs is very close; consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, “the blues,” sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Herein we prove conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham’* Vegetable Compound will quickly relieve all this trouble. Details of a Severe Case Cured in Eau Claire, Wis. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I have been ailing from female trouble for the past five years. About a month ago 1 was taken with nervous prostra tion, accompanied at certain times before menstruation with fearful head aches. 1 read one of your books, and finding many testimonials of the bene ficial effects of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, experi enced by lady sufferers, 1 commenced its use and am bappy to state that after using a few bottles I feel like a new woman, aches and pains all gone. “ I am recommending your medicine to many of my friends, and I assure you that you have my hearty thanks for your valuable preparation which has done so much good. I trust all suffering women will use your Vegetable Com pound.”—Mrs. Minnie Tiktz, 620 First Ave., Eau Claire, Wis. (May 28,1901). Nothing will relieve this distressing condition so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; it soothes, strengthens, heals and tones np the delicate female organism. It is a positive cure for all kinds of female complaints; that bearing down feeling, back ache, displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and is invaluable during the change of life, all of which may help to cause nervous prostration.
