FEARS FOR WINTER WHEAT.
Bureau Reports 1'ebrnary Cold arid
Shows Danger to Crops.
The weather bureau's monthly sum
mary of crop conditions is as follows :
East of the Rocky mountains Feb
ruary , 1005 , averaged very cold with
much more than the average precipitation
in the south Atlantic and gulf districts
and decidedly less than the average over
the greater part of the central valleys ,
middle Atlantic States. New England and
lake regions. During the great part of
the month there was ample snow cover
ing over much of the winter wheat belt ,
but much snow disappeared after the
20th , leaving the southern and western
portions without protection.
In California the month was abnor
mally warm with plentiful rains in the
southern district ? . Unusually heavy
precipitation occurred in New Mexico ,
Arizona and portions of Colorado and
Utah.
In Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas'-winter
wheat has passed the winter thus far in
good condition , but some doubt is enter
tained as to what its conditions in Illi
nois. Indiana and Ohio will be when
snow disappears. The crop has , how
ever , been generally well protected in
these last named States , and also in the
middle Atlantic coast districts. The con
dition of winter wheat on the Pacific
coast is favorable , except in Washington ,
where it experienced severe freezing
weather. I
The intensely cold weather in the
States of the upper Mississippi and lower
Missouri valleys is reported to have caus
ed injury to fruit buds , principally
peaches , but in the Atlantic coast dis
tricts fruit buds su-e believed to have es-
cijped material injury thus far.

Many Persons Have Catarrh of Kidneys ,
Catarrh of Bladder and Don't Know
President Newhof and War
Correspondent Richards Were
Promptly Cured By Pe-ru-na.
Mr. C. P. . Newhof. 10 Delaniare street , f
Albany , N. Y. , President Moiitefiore
Club , writes :
"Since my advanced age I find that
J have been frequently troubled with '
urinary ailments. The bladder seemed ,
irritated , and my physician said that it
was catarrh caused by a protracted
cold which would be difficult to overj j
come on account of my advanced years. [
/ took Peruna , hardly daring to believet
that I would be helped , but I found to
my relief that I soon began to mend. \
The irritation gradually subsided and.
the urinary difficulties passed away. I ,
have enjoyed excellent health now for
the past seven months. I enjoy my
meals , sleep soundly , and am as well' '
as / was twenty years ago. I give all
praise to Peruna.---C. B. Newhof.
Suffered From Catarrh of Kidneys ,
Threatened With Nervous Collapse ,
Cured by Pe-ru-na. I
Mr. F. B. Richards. GOD E street , N. '
W. , Washington. D. C. , War Correspond
ent , writes : "Exactly six years ago I was
ordered to Cuba as staff correspondent of
the New York Sun. I was in charge of a
Sun Dispatch boat through the Spanish-
American War. The effect of the trop
ical climate and the nervous strain
showed plainly on my return to the
States. Lassitude , depression to thei
verge of melancholia , and incessant i
kidney trouble made me practically an
invalid. This undesirable condition *
continued , despite the best of treatment.
Finally a brother newspaper man , who
like myself had served in the war , in
duced me to give a faithful trial to
Peruna. I did so. In a short time the
lassitude left me , my kidneys resumed a
healthy condition , and a complete cure
was effected. I cannot too strong *
recommend Peruna to those suffering
with kidney trouble. To-day I am able
to work as hard as at any time in my
life , and the examiner for a leading in
surance company pronounced me an 'A'
irisk. "

Mr. John Nimmo , 215 Lippincott St. ,
Toronto , Can. , a prominent merchant of
that city and also a member of the
Masonic order , writes :
. "I have been in poor health generally
for orer four years. When I caught a
bad cold last winter it settled in the
bladder and kidneys , causing serious
trouble. I took two greatly advertised
kidney remedies without getting the
desired results. Peruna is the only

remedy which was really of any benefit
to me. I have not had a trace of kidney-
trouble nor a cold in my system. "
Pe-ru na Contains Wo Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Po-
runa is perfectly harmless. It can be
used any length of time without acquir
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
luce temporary results. It is permanent
in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system ,
aiul gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
i multitude of homes where Peruna has-
t > een used off and on for twenty j'ears.
Such a thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a nar
cotic nature.
