..- " There are a multitude of women, es pecially housewives, and all other women obliged to be on their feet constantly, who are wretched beyond description, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal discharges from the pelvic organs. These women get up in the morning tired, drag themselves through their daily duties tired, only to go to bed at night as tired as before. Mrs. Eva Ilartho, 133 Salt 13th Street’ N. IT, City, N. Y., writet*:—”1 suffered for three years with what is generally known as ieucorrhea, in connection with ulceration of the womh, The doctors advocated an operation which 1 dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Reading of the valued Peruna, 1 thought it best to give this well-known remedy a trial, so 1 bought three bottles of it at once. Now 1 am a changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am to-day in perfect health, and have not felt so well for fifteen years.”— Mrs. Eva Earth©. MISS LOUISE MAHON. 1wi. wu MIm Louise Mahon, 3 Glen liallle Street, Toronto, Ont.. Can.. Secretary of the King’s Daughters and Secretary of Lady Macca bees writes:—“ If all women knew of the benefits to be derived from taking Peruna we would have many happier and more healthful women. My health bar, never been too robust, and I am easily fatigued and can not stand much. About a year ago 1 was so run down that I had to take to my bed, and became weaker and weaker. A friend advised me to try Peruna, and I have great reason to be j grateful, for in two weeks I was out of bed and in a ' month I was perfectly well, and I now find that my health is much more robust than formerly, so that I take Peruna once or twice a month and keep well.”—Louise Mahon. Peruna is such a perfect specific for each case that when patients have once used it they can never be induced to quit it until they are permanently cured. 11 begins to relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once. The backache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, the digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weakening drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Peruna. Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis., writes as follows in regard to Peruna: “For years I have suffered with back ache and severe pains in the side. I doctored so much that I became discour aged. A school friend told me how very much Peruna had benefited her and I sent out for a bottle, which did more to relieve me than all the other medicine I have ever MKS. EVA UARTIIO. ' ' - taken. I used it faithfully for two weeks ; and it completely cured me. I have not had any pains since, anywhere, but feel like a new woman. I am truly thankful for what Peruna has done for me."—Bar bara Alberty. I Mr*. Kate Maun. 800 Bathurst Street, Toronto. Out., Can., Vice President of the Ladle* Aid Society, write*: I am pleased to give praise to Peruna for the blessed relief l found through its use. I suffered for years with backache and dragging down pains and often had to go to bed and stay there when 1 was so busy that I could illy be spared. It was therefore a simple godsend to me when Peruna was brought to my notice. Every drop seemed to give me new life, and every dose made me feel much bettei, and 1 promised myself that if l found that it cured me 1 would advocate it so that other suffering women should know of it. 1 have been in perfect health for one year, I enjoy work and pleasure be cause in such tine health, and no trouble seems too heavy to bear when you are in good health. Peruna has simply been a household blessing, and 1 never will be without it again.”—Mrs. Kate Mann. MRS. am MANN. jt1" m.ni uuu Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt 8t„ Brooklyn N. Y., writes:—"Peruna did so much for me that I feel it my duty to recommend it to others who may he similarly afflicted. About a year ago my health was completely broken down, had backache, dizziness and irregularities, and life seemed dark indeed. We had used Peruna in our | home as a tonic, and for colds and catarrh, and I decided to try it for my trouble. In less than three months 1 became regular, my pains had entirely disappeared, and I am now perfectly well.”—Mrs. Anna Martin. Mrs. Wm. Hetrick, Keunard, Washing ton County, Neb., writes: “ I am fifty-six years old and have not felt well since the Change of Life began; ten years ago. I was in misery somewhere most of the time. My back was very weak, and my flesh so tender it hurt me to lean against the back of a chair. I had pain under my shoulder-blades, in the small of back and hips. I sometimes wished my self out of this world. Had hot and cold spells, dizziness and trembling of the limbs, and was losing flesh all the time. After following your directions and taking Peruna I now feel like a different person. ”—Mrs. Wm. Hetrick.

It will perhaps surprise some people to know that the production of bitum inous coal was eight times as great as the production of anthracite dur ing the year 1902; for, in that year, owing to idleness at the mines, the hard coal position fell to where it was in the year 1885. While there is a great deal said and heard of the an thracite industry because it is concern trated in the hands of a few persons and worked as a rule at a profit, there is a vast extent of the country which takes the soft or bituminous coal— takes it to the extent of 250,000,000 net tons.

Latest Quotations from South Omaha and Kansas City. SOTTTH OMAHA. CATTLE—Receipts of cattle were not as heavy as they were yesterday, but there was a fair run. The demand, though, was In good shape, so tfrftt prices held fully steady on desirable grades. Trad ing was quite brisk and an early clear ance was made. Buyers took hold of the beef steers In good shape and the market was active and firm on practically all kinds. As high as $5.35 was paid for a prime loud of six- I teen head averaging 1.383 pounds. This is the hlgVest price of the year for a full load of cattle and were bought for ex porting. There was not a very large sup ply of beef steers on sale, so that prac tically everything was disposed of In good season. The cow market opened fairly active and just about steady. Along toward the close, however, trading was not quite as brisk, and some salesmen found It a little hard to get steady prices on the close. Bulls, veal calves and sta»*\s sold with out much trouble In just about yester day’s notches. There were scarcely enough stockers and feeders In the yards to make a market. The few that ar rived. though, sold readily at steady prices if the quality was at all satisfac tory, in spite of the fact that the end of the week is at hand. HOGS—There was a very light run of hogs, owing probably to the bail condition of the country roads. The local demand was brisk and reports from other points were favorable to the selling interests, so that prices improved. The advance amounted to just about a dime. The bulk of the good heavy hogs sold largely from $7.30 to $7.35 and as high as $7.40 was paid. Medium weights went largely from $7.25 to $7.30 and the l'ghter weights from $7.25 down.

I Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure to SRixaS Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest P to Its Worn Out Mother. §g It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick.9 Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and9 mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After aH p.ucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and earlyH in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor. 9 who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth Ave., New York City.® “I hired a girl to mind the chil dren and to do whatever else she could. I couldn't stay in bed long. Sick as I was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after a few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but 1 paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself, lie was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fret ful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, I didn't think much of that. Even when a rash broke out on his face I wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Sev eral of my others had it when little, and I thought nothing about it. “But the rash on Charlie’s poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. I had never seen any thing quite like it before. The skin rose in little lumps, and matter came out. My baby’s tkin was hot, and how he did suffer 1 He wouldn’t eat, and night after nig. it I walked the floor with him, weav^ as I was. Often I had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores. “ I believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors* said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told ine. Yes, I gave him medicine, and put salves and things on him. I don’t think they were all useless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let up a bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn’t try the Cuticura Remedies. 1 told her 1 had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't want me to go on faith nor even to spend any money at first. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment—I think the box was about half full — and a piece of Cuticura Soap. X followed the directions, bathing Clmrlie and putting that nice Ointment on the sores. •' i wouldn’t have believed that nay baby would have been eared by a little thing like that. Not all of a sudden, mind you. Little by little, but so surely. Charlie and 1 both got more peace by day, and more sleep by night. The sores sort of dried up and went away. 1 shall never forget one blessed night when 1 went to bed with Charlie beside me, as soon as 1 got the supper dishes out of the way and the older children undressed ; when I woke up the sun was streaming in. For the first time in six months 1 had slept through the night without a break. “ Yes, that fat little boy by the ■ window is Charlie, and his skin is H as white as a snow flake, thanks to H the Cuticcra Remedies. I think B everybody should know about the H Soap and also the Ointment, and if H it is going to help other mothers B with sick babies, go ahead and pub* Bj lish what l have told you.’ fl MRS. HELENA RATH. 9 The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair, and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm ; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them.
