IN DEBATE ON THE CUBAN BILL
The Opponents of Payne Measure
Are Working to Remove the
Differential on Refined
Sagnr.
WASHINGTON, April 9. The feature
if the second day's debate In the House
n the Cuban reciprocity bill was the Im
passioned speech In opposition to the
measure by W. A. Smith, of Michigan,
Republican. Senators Spooner and Quarle3,
of "Wisconsin, and Dolllver, of Iowa, and
a group of Michigan beet-sugar manufac
turers In the gallery were In his audience,
and he was liberally applauded by his
Republican supporters, as he assailed the
Republican leaders who were advocating
the blli, boldly charging them with being
false to the Republican doctrine of pro
tection. Morris of Minnesota, another
RepuLiican, made a strong speech against
the bill. The other speakers today were
Ball (Dem. Tex.), and Sparkman (Dem.
Fla.). both of whom opposed the bill, and
Mondell (Rep. Wyo.), who advocated its
success.
The Democratic and Republican oppo
nents of the measure are trying to get
together on the proposition to take the
differential off refined sugar. The indica
tion axe that the debate will be protracted.
The demand for time to speak is great,
and there is now no expectation that the
general debate will be complete before
next week.
The Proceeding?"
Before the debate upon the Cuban bill
was resumed some routine business was
transacted. Henry (Rep. Conn.) asked
Unanimous consent to disagree to the Sen
ate amendments to the oleomargarine bill,
but Richardson (Dem. Tenn.) objected, and
the bill went to the -committee on agri
culture. The House then went Into com
mittee of the whole, and the Cuban reci
procity bill was taken up.
W. A. Smith (Rep. Mich.) was the first
Bpeaker. He spoke against the bill. He
presented the question from the viewpoint
of the Republicans, who opposed Cuban
reciprocity on account of the beet-sugar
InTerests, and said in part:
"I would not for anything have you be
lieve that we who for two months have
been battling for what we believe to be
right were animated by any hostility or
unfriendliness toward the Island of Cuba.
Buch Is far from the truth. "We have al;
ways aided and sustained her In her strug
gle for Independence. We glory m her
approaching sovereignty. But we must
not forget that while we may sympathize
with Cuba our first duty Is. toward our
own people, and everything that tends to
strengthen and develop our multiplied re
sources at home and add to the measure
of our natural strength and independence
should be the object of our profoundest
solicitude.
"I am opposed to this measure because I
believe it is calculated to breed strife and
dissatisfaction with the other sugar coun
tries of the world, which are thus discrim
inated against. I believe it will have a
tendency to provoke commercial hostilities
among the other West Indian Islands and
our neighbors in South America.
"I am opposed to this measure because,
In order to give effect, It becomes neces
sary to violate a solemn promise of the
Republican party deliberately made In sol
emn convention to the American people;
because I believe it will be harmful to the
agricultural and industrial classes of the
United States, whose great Interests have
been confided to our care; because I be
lieve It will be harmful In the extreme to
the Island of Cuba; because I believe that
the principal beneficiary will be the Amer
ican Sugar Refining Company, who do not
need our sympathy; because I believe that
the people of Cuba Tvtll receive no benefit
therefrom."
Smith then entered upon a discussion
of the policy of protection which had
resulted In the upbuilding of American
Industries with especial reference to the
establishment of the beet-sugar indus
try as a rival of the sugar trust which
he said refined and controlled 92 per cent
of the cane sugar. He predicted that the
struggle for supremacy will be long and
relentless and costly.
"The farmers of the country," he went
on, "have been encouraged by the Re
publican party in their ambition to pro
duce the sugar of the country. It was a
distinct promise to the farmer that he
need not fear that the Republican party
wjould permit the cheap labor and cheap
sugar of any tropical country to be
brought in in a manner which would de
stroy the Infant Industry of the beet-sugar
production which the farmers of the
United States have under the fostering
care of the Republican party been build
ing up during the last few years.
"The lamented Mr. DIngley said in the
discussion of the tariff which bears his
name:
" 'Nothing can be done so successfully
to clip the wings of the sugar trust as to
develop our beet-sugar industry and at
the same time confer immediate benefit
on our farmers and all our people. "
He also quoted Payne, Grosvenor (Rep.
O.), and Steele (Rep. Ind.), predicting a
great ruture for the beet-sugar Industry
if the tariff was notdlsturbed and added:
"The great states of Michigan. Cali
fornia, New York, Colorado, Utah, Ore
gon and Montana took these distin
guished statesmen at their word; had
faith in the promise of our party decla
ration; abandoned the cultivation of
wheat and corn, developing a new indus
try thus encouraged.
"I know It is claimed that this cut of
20 per cent will do our present factories
no harm; but when the DIngley law was
passed and you invited us to engage in
this business you did not say that you
would even agitate a change in the tar
iff, much less reduce it by 20 per cent."
Smith maintained that the sugar trust
would be the beneficiary of tho reduc
tion and not the Cuban planters.
In the course of Smith's speech, Under
wood (Dem. Ala.) asked Smith if he
would vote to take the differential off re
fined sugar coming front Cuba. Smith
replied that no refined sugar came from
Cuba, and in his turn he asked Under
wood if his (the Democratic) side would
vote to overrule the chair and join in
voting to take the differential off the
sugar of the world.
After some sparring, during which Un
derwood showed a disposition to evade
the question, in response to the prompt
ings of the Democrats around him, he
finally ventured the prediction that there
would be an opportunity to vote upon the
proposition to take the differential off
the sugar of the world.
"If there is," observed Smith, "I will
watch your vote with great interest."
Repeatedly during the delivery of
Smith's remarks his Republicans support
ers on the floor applauded him. A number
of "Michigan beet-sugar manufacturers in
the gallery joined in the demonstrations
of approval. When he concluded with an
eloquent peroration in eulogy of the policy
of protection, the whole Republican side
burst Into applause.
Sparkman (Dem. Fla.) followed, also
making an argument against the passage
of the bill.
Morris, another of the Republican mem
bers opposed to the bill and the author of
the rebate plan of relieving Cuba, which
was rejected by the Republican caucus,
made an argument against the measure.
He insisted that If any persons would re
ceive benefit from the concession to Cuba 1
except the sugar trust, it would be the
"Cuban Shylocks," to whom the planters,
had pledged their crops.
Morris cited the evidence of witnesses
before the committee, whom he described
as "disinterested," to show that the cost
of producing sugar in Cuba had been
exaggerated, and that, Instead of being
2 cents per pound, it was 1 cents, and
that, therefore, at the present price In
Havana 1.81 f. o. b., the Cubans -Tvould
receive a profit of .31 cents per pound.
If more aid for Cuba was necessary, Mor
ris said, he was willing to go further and
relieve Cuba by the rebate plan, which,
he declared, was the only method by
which the relief would reach those for
whom it was intended. He read the re
port of the ways and means committee
against the proposition Tor free sugar
from Porto Rico, which said the sugar
trust would receive the entire benefit of
the removal of tho duty. The report had
been prepared by Grosvenor, but all the
Republican members of the committee had
subscribed to it. If the statements were
true then, they were true now, as to Cuba.
He produced figures to show that rela
tively the Porto Rican sugar-growers re
ceived 28 cents per 100 pounds less from
the sugar trust than the trust paid for
German sugars, and that the Hawaiian
and Cuban planters fared in practically
the same wuy.
From these figures he argued that the
trust, being the sole purchaser, was sure
to reap the advantage of any reduction
made to Cuba, He asked why the sugar
trust was advocating this reduction if it
did not expect to be benefited, and In sup
port of the statement that the trust was
after the reduction, he quoted from a
letter written by Henderson to one of his
constituents, in which the Speaker said
that the trust was "here in the person of
Its ablest managers."
"We are not here," said Morris, "to
make laws for the benefit of soldiers of
fortune, who go to Cuba instead of staying
at home, and of such buccaneers as Mr.
Havemeyer, the head of the sugar trust.
"But gentlemen," he added, turning to hifl
Republican colleagues, "if you are deter
mined to do this thing, if you insist upon
giving the sugar trust a present of ?2,500.
000, let us give the sugar trust a dose of
Its own medicine; let us force the trust to
drink a cup which it commends to other's;
let us take the differential off refined
sugar, under which the trust has grown
strong and powerful."
He called on the Democrats to stand
with the Republicans and hit the sugar
trust, and "hit it hard." The Democrats
cried out that they would Join In the
fight and applauded vigorously.
Mondell (Rep. Wyo.) followed with a set
speech In favor of the bill. He argued
that the conditions in Cuba made it
necessary for the relief contained In this
bill to be granted if the new Cuban Re
public was to be Inaugurated with any
hope of success. Free Cuba, to be suc
cessful, must be prosperous. Industrial
disaster there would mean chaos, chaos
would mean intervention, and intervention
would mean annexation. As a friend of
the beet-sugar industry, who desired to
put off the day of annexation, he said he
would support the pending bill.
Ball (Dem. Tex.) opposed the bill. He
contended that it would afford no relief
to Cuba. The bill was a Republican meas
ure, and, being such, he was ready to as
sume the responsibility of taking his stand
with the Democrats of Louisiana in oppo
sition to it, rather than with the Repub
licans In favor of it He denied that the
bill was In line with Democratic doctrine,
because it was admitted that it would not
result in reducing the price of sugar to the
American consumer. Its sole beneficiary,
he argued, .would be the sugar trust.
At 5:10 P. M. the House adjourned.
ANTI-IXJU5CTI0K BILL.
Hoar-Grosvenor Measure Reported to
the House.
WASHINGTON, April 9. Tho House
committee on judiciary, through Chairman
Ray, today filed Its report of the bill popu
larly known as the Hoar-Grosvenor antl

report summarizes its purposes as follows:
"If this bill becomes a law. In all labor
disputes between employes and employers,
the following conditions will exist:
"It will not be a criminal conspiracy for
two or more persons merely to contract,
combine or agree to do an act In restraint
of Interstate and foreign commerce, If
such acts would not be criminal If actually
committed by one person acting alone.
"No Injunction or restraining order will
lawfully issue based solely on such con
tract, combination or agreement.
"It will be a crime for two or more per
sons to contract combine or agree to do
any act in restraint of Interstate and for
eign commerce which is criminal when
committed by one person acting alone.
"It will be a criminal conspiracy to con
tract, combine or agree to do any act in
constraint of interstate and foreign com
merce, if such act would be criminal when
actually committed by one person acting
alone.
"Nothing in the law will sanction a re
sort to force for violence or intimidation
by a show of force, in aid or furtherance
of any trade dispute, or make Innocent or
non-punishable any act done (aside from
the mere making of an agreement or con
tract) that is otherwise punishable aa a
crime."

CALLS IT UNAMERICAN
GALLIXGER'S ARGU3IEXT AGAINST
THE EXCLUSION BILL.
Turner Supports the Measure for the
Protection of the People of
the Entire Country.
WASHINGTON, April 9. Througbout
today's session of the Senate the Chinese
exclusion bill was under discussion. Gal
Hnger and Dillingham opposed the bill
and Turner supported It Galllnger urged
that the pending bill was unnecessary,
unjust and un-American, and was clearly
In contravention of our treaty obligations
with China. In an extended address. Tur
ner appealed to the Senate to pass the
proposed bill, not merely for the protec
tion of the people of the Pacific States,
but to prevent the entire body politic from
being contaminated by the Chinese. Dil
lingham advocated the re-enactment of
the present law.
The Proceedings.
When the Senate convened Fairbanks
reported favorably from the committee on
immigration the Chinese exclusion bill
passed by the House. It was placed on the
calendar. The committee decided to re
port the House bill to the Senate without
any definite Intention of substituting that
bill for the Senate bill, but with the
view of having it available for that pur
posa If considered desirable. No oppor
tunity was afforded for careful compari
son of the two measures, but members
of the committee expressed the opinion
after a scrutiny of tho House bill that the
two are much alike on all essential points.
The committee suggested no changes in
the House bill.
Patterson offered a resolution, which
was adopted, calling on the Secretary of
the Treasury for certain regulations re
garding the exclusion of Chinese.
At the conclusion of routine business
consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill
was resumed, Galllnger addressing the
Senate in opposition to the measure. He
declared that the bill was "uncalled for,
unnecessary, unwise and uq-American.
It Is hard In its provisions, unjust In its
definitions, and clearly In contravention
of our solemn treaty obligations." He
said tho proposed legislation was "narrow,
bigoted and indefensible."
"Wo are asked to support it," said he,
"because of certain alleged abuses In
California and on the Pacific Coast."
He added that, had not the Senators
from the Pacific States favored the meas
ure, "it might well be attributed to the
fertile brain of somo sand lot agitator."
Galllnger maintained that the pending
subject was a matter for diplomatic ne
gotiation, and not for Congressional ac
tion. In this connection he read Minis
ter Wu's recent letter to Secretary Hay,
In which he protested against the enact
ment of the bill, declaring that it would
disturb the friendly relations between the
United States and China.
Mitchell of Oregon Inquired of Gallln
ger what he thought of the propriety of
a foreign Minister criticising measures
pending before Congress;
Galllnger replied that the Secretary of
State evidently thought It quite proper.
Foraker Interrupted to say that the Chi
nese Minister clearly woe within his rights
in writing the letter, as the treaty ex
pressly reserved that right to China.
In conclusion Galllnger urged that Con
gress be just In dealing with China and
extend to that empire the same proper
treatment It extends to other nations. ,
Turner followed Galllnger with a speech
In support of the pending bill. He main
tained that American labor ought not to
be pauperized and paganized by the ad
mission of Chinese, and any experiment
looking to their admission would be need
less and wicked. Turner, In reply to Gal
llnger, contended that the pending blli Is
no more severe than former laws for the
restriction of Chinese Immigration; Indeed,
he asserted that the bill Is practically a
re-enactment of existing law, except that
it is more liberal in the admission of Chi
nese merchants. He also asserted that the
most stringent provisions of the bill had
been drawn by Treasury officials, and
were made necessary by the craft and
guile of the Chinese In evading treaty ob
ligations. He also declared that very pro
vision of the bill is In conformity with
the treaty with China, and declared that
well-meaning Chinamen could take no ex
ception to its provisions. He defended the
provision prohibiting the employment of
Chinese crews on vcesela going to sea, and
said that criticism of It is Inconsistent with
the recent action of the Senate in voting
tho ship subsidy bill for the purpose of
enabling American shipowners to pay ex
tra wages to American sailors.
Turner urged the Incorporation into any
law enacted of the Treasury regulations
on Chinese exclusion, declaring that the
fact that Chinamen, the Pacific Steamship
Company and the transcontinental railway
companies were opposed to those regula
tions was an argument In support of
them.
The Senate Insisted on Its amendments
to the Indian appropriation bill, and Stew
art, Plat of Connecticut and Rawlins
were named as tho Senate conferees.
Dillingham addressed the Senate in op
position to the Chlneae bill. He said he
was heartily in favor of a law which
would exclude Chinese laborers In accord
ance with the treaty of ISM. He would
vote, he said, for a substitute for tho
proposed bill, which in effect would con
tinue in force or re-enact the present
Geary law. That law had served an ex
cellent purpose, and was without eerious
ly objectionable features. He thought
that with two or three minor amendments
tho present law would satisfy any rea
sonable advocate of Chinese exclusion. He
believed that the real question presented
to Congress waB how best to protect
American labor, American citizenship and
American progress and prosperity. All
were anxious that such protection should
be afforded. The dangers of the admis
sion of Chinese, he thought, had been ex
aggerated, and were not so serious as had
been pictured. All had agreed that the
operation of existing law was satisfac
tory. After a brief executive session, the Sen
ate, at 5:03 P. M., adjourned.

Kipling' Poem on Rhodes.
LONDON, April 9. The Times this morn
ing publishes a four-stanza poem by Rud-
yard Kipling, which is to be read -at the
Interment of Cecil Rhodes tomorrow. The
secqnd stanza follows: .
Dreamer devout, by visions led
- Beyond our guess or erach.
The travail of his spirit bred
Cities in place ot speech;
So huge the all-mastering thought that drove,
So brief the term alolwed,
Nations, not worlds, he linked to prove
His faith beforo the crowd.
Then, describing the dead waiting for
the granite tomb at Matoppo Hills, In ful
fillment of his vision, the poem concludes:
The Immense and brooding spirit still
Shall quicken and control; ""
Living he was the land, and dead
His soul shall be ber soul.
SURRENDER OF GUEVARRA
Conditions on Which. Rebels Were
Anxious to Lay Down Their Arms.
MANILA, April 9. General Jacob H.
Smith, commanding the American forces
in Samar, gives an Interesting descrip
tion of his conference on the Canadna
River In Samar with the Insurgent lead
er, Guovarra, who Is to surrender April
15. General Smith and his party of 12
officers left their arms five miles below
the place where tho conference was held.
Knowing the insurgents were short of
food, the Americans carried presents of
potatoes and hardtack with them.
Great preparations had been made to
receive General Smith and his party. A
dock in the river had been built and two
triumphal arches were erected for the
occasion. Two hundred Insurgent troops
presented arms when the American party
landed. Upon arriving at the house
where the conference occurred, Guevarra
informed General Smith that the insur
gents were anxious to surrender, on the
following six conditions:
First That the friars be expelled from
the Philippine Islands; second, freedom
of worship; third, the expulsion of all
Chinese merchants; fourth, the estab
lishment of a school system; fifth, liberty
of tho press, and sixth, tho release of all
prisoners of war.
General Smith informed Guevarra that
once peace was assured the prisoners ot
war would undoubtedly bo released. He
said that a school system was already In
operation in the pacific districts of the
archipelago, and that this system would
be extended to Samar Island. He ex
plained that the entrance of Chinese to
tho Philippines was prohibited by law and
that it would be unfair to expel those
now engaged In business under the flag.
He said that all persons In the archi
pelago were entirely free to worship as
they pleased and that the press was now
free. When they accepted peace, he ex
plained, they would have civil govern
ment and a greater degree of liberty.
Gueverra and his party accepted these
explanations and promised to surrender
April 15. He then escorted the Ameri
can officers to a banquet which was
served with cloth napkins and other ad
juncts of civilization. General Smith
gave Gueverra permission to purchase
rice for the use of the insurgent troops.
GEXERAL SMITH'S ATTITUDE.
His Order Regarding Treatment of
the People of Samar.
WASHINGTON, April 9. In view of the
public interest manifested in tho -Waller
court-martial, now going on in Manila, and
the Importance attaching to ihe actual
attitude of General Smith toward the peo
ple of Samar, the War Department has
published the following order Issued by
General Smith:
"Headquarters Sixth Separate Brigade,
Tacablon, Leyte, P. I., February 22, 1902.
From the reports received of late .from
every quarter of the Island of Samar, the
Brigadier-General is constrained to the
belief that active opposition to our occu
pation of the Island has crumbled away.
There are undoubtedly a considerable num
ber left in the mountains who remain In
opposition to us, but their power of resistance-
has been shattered. We have in
the past compelled them to respect our
powers in arns; we must. In thefuture,
compel them to respect our generosity of
heart toward a vanquished foe, and our
purity of purpose In waging war upon
their undecided leaders and followers.
"Henceforth, then, it must be the labor
of our officers and men to assist the loyal
natives In repairing the ravages of war.
No opportunity should be lost to Instruct
them that the Americans have come
among them, not to take from them any
of the good things of life, but rather to
give them more and in greater measure
than they have ever enjoyed before. But
every member of the brigade is enjoined
never to lose from sight the fact that he
Is dealing with a people which, through
peculiarities of their island topography,
have developed along lines quite divergent
from those traveled by the great majority
of their fellow Filipinos. Our troops must
always keep in mind that the standards
of the natives of Samar were announced
to the world at Balangiga. Watchfulness
and kindliness henceforth must go hand
In hand.
"And now that the period when our
troops must be constantly on the movr
hap. In the Judgment of the brigade com
mander, virtually passed, he takes pleas
ure In revoking his former order forbid
ding the residence within the brigade of
the families of officers."

WASHINGTON, April 9. The Insular
division of the War Department has pre
pared, for publication a statement giving
in comparative form the commerce of the
Philippine Islands for the 11 months ended

show an increase of 21 per cent in tho im
ports and 10 per cent In tho exports.
The value of merchandise coming from
the United States for the 11 months ended
November 20, 1901, was ?3,1S9,976, an in

Martlnelli's Successor.-
ROME.. April 9. The contest for the ap
pointment of a successor to Cardinal Mar
tlnelll, as papal delegate In the United
Stated, has apparently narrowed down to
two candidates Archbishop Falconlo, the
papal delegate In Canada, and Monslgnore
Zallnsky. formerly papal delegate In the
East Indies, and now private secretary to
Cardinal Ledochowskl. The chances of the
former are considered to be the beat, as
It has been shown that he has undeniable
diplomatic ability, and Is a man of pro
found learning. Monslgnore Zallnsky,
however, Is actively supported by Car
dinal LsdochowskI, who wields great pow
er as prefect of the propaganda.
The decision will be delayed, because
the consistory at which Cardinal Martin
elli will finally gain the red hat, has been
postponed from Juno to October.

WASHINGTON, April 9. By a strict
party vote the Insular committee of the

of qualified Independence, then complete
Independence; the insurrection meanwhile
to cease. The United States is to have
three coaling stations and two naval sta
tions. There were 2G sections In the sub
stitute. After the substitute was voted down.
Representative Patterson (Dem. Ten.)
offered an amendment to the majority
bill, providing for the abolition of slavery
throughout the Islands,' and for the annul
ment of the treaty made between General
Bates and the Sultan of Jolo. Chairman
Cooper called attention to tho clause In
-the majority bill that "neither slavery nor
Involuntary servitude shall exist in the
islands." Patterson maintained that this
restriction would not be effective so long
as the Bates treaty remained In force.
On a vote Patterson's amendment was
rejected. The committee then voted to
report the majority bill, tho terms of
which have heretofore been published.
Jones, explaining the Democratic sub
stitute more in detail, said:
"The Democratic substitute Is based
upon the theory of giving the Philippines
eventual Independence. We leave the
affairs of the Islands with the present
Philippine Commission until July 4 1&03.
From that date until July 4, 1911 a period
of eight years we provide for the quail
fled Independence of the islands, with a
view to leading up to complete independ
ence, which begins at the latter date. The
qualified Independence Is granted on con
dition that there Is a complete cessation
of war and all organized armed opposition.
Moreover it is granted on specified con
ditions precedent, namely, that the United
States shall have three coaling stations
and two naval stations and convenient
terminal points for submarine cables;
that the maximum rate of duty imposed
against articles shipped from this country,
except opium and liquors, shall be 20 per
cent ad valorem, and that American citi
zens nhall be guaranteed- certain rights
of travel, trade, etc., In the islands.
"After the expiration of this eight years'
period, our substitute provides the man
ner in which the Philippine Republic can
frame its constitution. During-the in
termediate period, the islands are "under
the executive authority of a President of
the Philippines, and a Secretary of. State,
both appointed by the President for terms
of four years. There Is also provision
for a Cabinet or advisory board, to be se
lected by the President of the-Philippines.
Provision Is made for an executive body
consisting of 30 Senators and 100 Repre
sentatives, to be selected by the qualified
voters of the Islands. The electorate is
to be composed of male persons 21 years
old, who are residents of the islands for
three years, or who can read or write any
language, or who have paid $2 poll or
other taxes. Our bill provides much lower
salaries than the Republican measure. As
to the proposed coinage system, that is
left for the Philippine Congress to deter
mine, vthey to establish mints, fix the
standards, etc."
THE REVISED CREED.
Presbyterian Committee Prepares
Overtures for General Assembly.
WASHINGTON, April 9. The Presby
terian committee on creed revision reas
sembled here today. The final report on
the subject is expected to be adopted by
the committee within . week. Pending
decisive action, the committee is careful
ly guarding its deliberations from pub
lication. The main discussion today was
over the text of the declaratory state
ment, which Is to be adopted by the Gen
eral Assembly. The committee accom
plished much work today, finishing all
features except that relating to the brief
statement of doctrine. Consideration of
this statement will occupy the committee
during the remainder of the session here.
As a result of the work already done,
overtures will be submitted to the General
Assembly, which will meet in New York
In May, for action on the declaratory
statement with reference to the third and
tenth chapters of the confession. These
relate to predestination and election of in
fants. The object is to remove misunder
standing on these points by declaring that
the confession is not to be understood as
teaching that any children who die in in
facy are lost; also that the confession Is
not to be understood as teaching that the
previsions of the gospel and the offer
made by It Is to be limited to a certain

SS LEEMLNG'S RECOVERY
After Suffering With Catarrh of the Stomach
for Five Years Pe-fu-na Cured.
' ' '. -' fe,2!rz?fG
Miss Alice Leemlng. 2074 St. Catherine street, Montreal, Can., writes:
"I can conscientiously Indorse Peruna. 1 suffered for five years
with dyspepsia, which Impaired my general health, and deprived me
of my usual nerve force. I spent much money on remedies and pre
scriptions without any benefit until I tried Peruna. Before the first
bottle was used I felt much better, and after ten weeks treatment
I was a new woman, and in porfect- health. I cannot speak too highly
of Peruna." MISS ALICE LEEMING.
The women are all talking about Fe-1 pelvis. No wonder women talk about
ninn. Of rntirap thov arc. Whv should
they not? Peruna is the remedy that
cured them. If they have a cold, Pe
runa cures them. They found that out
by experience.
If they are hoarse or have a cougb,
they And Peruna an unfailing remedy.
Weak lungs, and even the ilrst stages ot
consumption, Peruna promptly restores,
and then there arc a host of women
who have a slight derangement of the
stomach and digestive organs. All these
derangements are of a catarrhal nature.
Peruna comes to the rescue at once. A
very short course of Peruna Is. sufficient
to put the fitomach right and to make
the assimilation of the food perfect.
But this Is not all. This docs not ex
actly explain why the women especially
are talking about Peruna. Men, the
same as women, have found Peruna use
ful In the above mentioned ailments.
The reason that Peruna Is such a special
favorite with women Is something more
than all this.
Women are subject to pelvic catarrh.
This condition has been called all sorts
of names and Is often referred to under
the general phase, female diseases. Pe
runa cures these cases. Peruna cures
them because it cures catarrh wherever
located. The nature of most of these
ailments Is catarrhal.
Catarrh Is liable to attack any organ
of the body. It Is especially liable to
attack one or more organs of the female
number that Christ died for all men; nor
Is it to be understood as in any way in
terfering with human liberty and witn
the freedom of men.
Art overture will be sent to the General
Assembly dropping from the text of the
confession the chapters relating to the
pope of Home, and that It Is a sin In an
other to refuse an oath when adminis
tered by rightful authority.
