MANY RELIABLE WITNESSES
Prove That Old Cases of Chronic Ca
tarrh can be Cured.
A Medicine That Will
Cure Cases of Catarrh
of Long Standing De
serves a Very High
Place in the Annals of
Medical Discovery.
Such, a Medicine is
Peruna.
THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
Obscure places, signed by obscure peo
ple. A largo proportion pf these letters
are written by men and women proml
' nent in business and professional cir
; clos and many of them well known from
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu
pies a prominent position' among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
""has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
JJnited States, and during his practice
Of over fifteen years he has not lost a
single case in the Supreme Courts- of
Illinois and Missouri. He Is a hard
Worker and has the energy of four men.
Tor a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic oatarrh and hav
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was ob
tained with him by one of our reporters
In which he gave the following etate
mae& to the public :
Chicago, Ixl., Aug. 6, 1900.
The Peruna Medioino Co., Columbus, Q. :
' Qentlemen"lt gives, me great
pfoasure to testify to the merits at
such a worthy remedy for catarrh a
your Peruna. I had suffered tor a
number of years from this very dis
agreeable disease and had tried many
so-called remedies, but until I used
Peruna none had the desired effect I
feel that I am perfectly cured and can
cheerfully recommend Peruna to any
one suffering from catarrh."

Prof. Wortman startles the
World
It is not known to the scientific sharps
of the East that Dr. J. L. Wortman,
professor of Paleontology in the Pea
body Mueeum of Yale College, epenthis
boyhood in Canemah his father sup
porting the Wortman brood by store
keeping in Oiebon City nor is it likely,
on the other hand, that bis brother,
Banker John, of McMinnville, is as
proud of his brotker's, the doctor's
scholarly renown as he is of his own ac
cumulation of dollars. Be that as it
may, the man from Canemah dug up in
Wyoming the skull of a novel kind of
monkey and now he has set the dry
hones of the Anthropological Club of
Yale to , rattling by announcing, aB
deductions from study of the skull, that
Eden was in the North Polar regions
and that when the icy peaks began to
form, he, the half-ape man, discovered
fire. Prof. Condon, of the University of
Oregon, maintains that before .the Cas
cade Range uprose Alaska was kept
tropical by the Japan current. Prof,
Wortman is a man of authority in his
department and his ideas will notes
cape the consideration of investigators.

chronic catarrh but thanks to Peruna I
am now entirely cured.
" It affords me much pleasure to make
a statement in behalf of your meritorlou
remedy, Peruna. I have used same for
oatarrh and have found It to be all you
claim for it. I had suffered for twenty
years. I cheerfully recommend Peruna
to anyone suffering from oatarrh, as I
believe that, as in my oase, it will prove
a sure cure." Captain John H. Lrona.'

Roaat PI a la Lamb la China.
A correspondent of the North China
Herald writes this dissertation upon
roast pig: "How little western writers
understand the Chinese 1 Who has
not read and rejoiced over Lamb's
'Dissertation Upon Roast Pig?' It is
not everybody .who has the chance
of seeing Lamb's " fascinating story
workeJ, out in real life. In the begins
ning of the present .Chinese year I
passed through a busy market village
Nvhere the people kept many pigs. In
the middle of the night a fire broke
out in the market-1 village and de
stroyed the whole place. No lives had
been loBt, but most of the pigs had
been roasted, especially those too fat
to run quickly. Roust pigs! Burning
houses! Lamb's story in real life!
Quite naturally I remnrked that some
folk must have had a splendid meal of
roast pork In those days. To my sur
prise the natives asked with disgust:
"A splendid meal! Who would eat
that stinking, smoky stuff?' The
palate of the Chinaman absolutely re
jects smoky roast pork! All that niag
nlllcont epicurean description culmi
nating In the one word 'crackling' a
delusion, a yarn, a lie! I gloated over
that yarn when a boy and grew ex
cited as the Btory went from one page
to another. Now to find the whole
thing go up In smoke!"

Solving; It.
Patrick, a thrifty tradesman In the
neighborhood of the Dublin docks, was,
the story goes, a man who never spent
a penny more than he needed to spend,
but he was nevertheless as good a man
at the making of an Irish bull as any
who lived between Bantry and Bally
castle. Having one day occasion to send a
letter to a place some distance, Patrick
called a messenger and asked him his
price for going such a dlstanc.
"It '111 be a shllllu'," said the man.
"Twice too much!" said Patrick. "Let
it be sixpence."
"Nivver," answered the messenger.
"The way Is that lonely that I'd nivver
go It under a shillin'."
"Lonely, Is It?" said Patrick, scratch
ing his head, "Faith, an' ye're right
Now, man, I'll tell ye what we'll do;
make It sixpence, an' I'll' go wid ye to
kape ye company!"
