Letters of congratula tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh rem edy are pouring in from every state in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All clasatS write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti san, the clerk, the editor, the states mail, the preacher all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognis ing catarrh as their" greatest enemj, are especially enthntsaetic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well nigh universal. Peru na is the best safeguard known. Ask Your Druggist for Free ' Tainted Tin. v v "Can I get lnr asked the new ar rival.

Minneapolis Journal f V - - BLOOD POISON The black flag Is an emblem of horror and dread. " When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that "no quarter " will be given, ev erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as oppos ing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great Army of disease. : This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hide ous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons ; no matter how pure the blood may bo or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters thq circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the tnouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come-out, and often the body is cov ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks, the bones and sometimes causes tumors to form on the brain, produc ing insanity and death. Not only those who contract the poison suffer, but unless the virus is driven from the blood the awful taint is handed down to offspring, and they are its innocent victims. Blood Poison is in deed a "black flag." Mercury and Potash, so often used, never can cure the trouble. These minerals merely drive the symptoms away for awhile and shut the disease up in the system, and when they are left off it returns worse than before. This treatment hot only fails to cure blood poison but eats out the delicate lining of the Btomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S. S. , the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cures by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison, S. S.

OREGON A Letter From the ExGovernor of ' Oregon. The ex-governor of Oregon is an ar dent admirer of Peurna. He keeps it continually in the house. In a letter to Dr. Hartman, he says: - State of Oregon, Execmtive Department. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus. 0.: Dear Sirs I have had occasion to use your Peruna medicine . in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. it will be noticed that the governor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments beein with a cold. . Peruna Almanac for 1906.

"The item does not represent rj- rresliment," replied the officer, "bat it lee to a carrier."

"There are three beautiful words in the English language," said a peregri nating philosopher as ha sipped his morning glass, "that ought to be cross ed out of the dictionary. "The first one is 'honesty.' No one Is absolutely and perfectly honest If you give orders to say you are not at home, when you -are In and don't want to be disturbed, that isn't Quite honest "The secjond word is 'satisfaction.' No one is perfectly 'satisfied.' Suppos ing you had, by a long stretch of in agination, $10,000 a year, you would want twenty. "And the third word Is that beautl ful monosyyable 'if.' On that I need not comment." A Light Remedy. A quack doctor, whose treatment had evidently led to the death of his patient, was examined sternly by the coroner. "What did you give the poor fellow?" asked the coroner. "Ipecacuanha, sir." "You might Just as well have gives him the aurora borealis," said the coro ner. "Well, sir, that's just what I was go ing to give him when he died." THE BUCK FLAG Several years ago I had blood poison and my fleah u in an awful condition.

GREAT CROWD WITNESSES SCENE House Receives a Large Number of Bills and Resolutions Senate Session is Brief. Washington, Dec. 5. The aesemb ling yesterday of the members of the Fifty-ninth congress for their first sea sion was marked by no unusual inci dents, but it attracted to the capitol crowds of spectators, who took a lively interest in the proceedings. The day was beautiful. The sun shone brightly and the air was keen. Society was out in force and filled the reserved galler les, while visitors unable to find seats roamed the corridors to catch glimpses of public men. In the senate the pro ceedings were brief, adjournment being taken after a session of 20 minutes out of respect to the late Senator Flatt of Connecticut, bnt most of the spectators seemed to find quite as much to interest them in observing the senators who re mained on the floor after adjournment as they could have expected had the session continued longer. xne nouse was in session for more than three hours, and, while the pro ceedings followed the program that has marked the opening of congress for many years, there was enough of inter est to hold an exceptionally large audi ence during the entire time. Cannon was re-eleuted speaker. BILLS OFFERED IN CONGRESS. Every Question Before Nation Cov ered by House Members. wasmngton, uec. o. A large num ber of bills and joint resolutions were introduced in the house yesterday.

One Million for Umatilla. Washington, Dee. 5. Secretary Hitchcock today authorized construc tion of the Umatilla irrigation project and set aside out of the'reclimatioa fnnd $1,000,000 to defray ail costs. A Natural Remedy. That the remedy is sometimes worse than the disease Is again shown by an Incident chronicled in the New York Times. A prominent politician has a wife who Is a model of domestic care fulness. She has a talent for making bread, and takes great pride in having her loaves turn out well One evening she had set the batch of dongh to rise In the kitchen and was reading in the parlor, when her 6-year-old boy came running to her, crying, "Mamma, .mamma, there's a mouse Jumped Into your bread-pan!" The tood woman sprang from ber seat - "Did you take him out?" she asked, frantically. "No'm, but I done Just as good. I threw the cat in, and she's digging after him to beat the band!" Christian Science. In the United States there are about 400 Christian Science churches, with about 100,000 adherents. According to Mrs. Eddy, its founder, the church is making tremendous strides in popular ity, in which respect it resembles Pills bury's Yitos, the popular cereal food. Beggars In London. It Is calculated that 4,000 persons make a living in London by begging and that their average income amounts to over $1,500,000 a year. Last year 1,925 persons were arrested for beg ging in the streets, of whom more than 1,500 were sentenced to terms of im prisonment varying from one week to three months. Many of these objects of charity were found in possession of sums of money and even bank books showing very handsome deposits.
