"I have often heard Pel una praieed
and it is more widely known here than
any other medicine, but I never knew
what a rplendid medicine it really was
until a few weeks ago when I caught a j
bad cold which settled all over me.
"The doctor wanted to pre-crihe, but
I told him I was going to try Peruna
and sent for a bottle and tried it.
"I felt much better the next morn
Ins and within five days I had not a
trace of any lameness or any cough.
"I consider it the finest cough remedy."

It weakens the delicate lung tissues,

1 11.11 DISEASES
AND SYSTEM PlSOli
Catarrh, h not merely an inflammation of the tissues cf the head an3
throat, as the symptoms c f ringing1 noises in, the cars, irrr.ee us dropping- back
Into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., woul l seem to indi
cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved". Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidnej'S and Bowel1 frequently be
come torpid and dull ia their action and instead cf carrying oli the refuse
nd waste of the body, leave it ta sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken tip by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disrjustin;? and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all part3 of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped lip, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach ia upset and the entire system disordered and
. . . . . . affected by this disease. It is a waste of

Much Bluney Made from
Oecuput Ion.
Chieagoans of middle age easily re
inember the time when the bootblack
with his lox wus conspicuous on near
ly every city street. The counw of In
dustry has changed all that. The
ragged urchin Is gone, with the old
time newsboy, the horse car, and other
institutions of that day. Chicago lias
Us shoes polished more than ever, hut
the work is done In the "shoe-shitiing
parlor."
There are captains of Industry In
the shoe-shining business, us apparent
ly In every other business. There are
at least three, nnd they are Joseph
Paeell and Angelo Geocarls of Chlca
go and P. Smyrels of Grand Kapids,
Mich. Their rise and that of the 'shoe-
shining parlor" is described by Arthur
Sears Henning in the American Pusl
iiess Man for September. With Paced
and Geocaris we are most concerned.
l'acell, an Italian from near Hrln
dlsi, arrived In Chicago twenty-eight
years ago and began selling papers und
blacking boots at Adams und State
streets, lie saw the possibilities of
boot blacking among a well-to-do peo
ple, careless of Its small change, and
opened the flrst "parlor" at the board
of trade. He began with two chairs
and kept adding chairs until he had
lilteen. Soon he opened a second place
In tbe alley that used to open off Mon
roe street opposite the Inter Ocean.
He still has two establishments, one
of which is the largest in the city.
His Income is said to be $15,000 a yar,
and he Is reitorted to be worth $100,
000. Paeell's success almost Immediately
revolutionized the "shoe-shining" busi
ness, and the passing of the itinerant
bootblack began. Imitators establish
ed " arloiV by the score. Put prices
were kept up. Ten cents was the price
for -it ordinary "shine," and a special
jiollsh cost 15 cents, down to seven
years ago.
Athens, Greece, is possibly the dusti
est city in the world, and it is said to
have more bootblacks for Its size than
any other. Geocaris was born In a
village about liOO miles from Athens,
and began life as a bootblack at the
capital. The price of a "shine" in
Athens Is one-third of a cent a fact
that is of considerable importance to
Chicago.
Geocaris arrived in Chicago fourteen
years ago and began blacking boots at
Halsted and Madison streets. Within
a year he had opened a "parlor" in an
alley. The next year he opened two
more. In two years more he was
known as the "lioss of the West Side
Pootblacks." His price was always 5
cents a suei which looked large to
hiin as comp.nv i with one-third of a
cent. Therefore, for years the price
of a shine was JO cents down town and
5 cents on the West Side.
In LS07 Geocaris invaded the down
town district by opening' two 5-cent
"parlors" one at 75 Van Bureii street
and the other at Monroe and Clark
streets. He secured so much trade
that he had to open other places.
Gradually he forced his competitors to
come to 5 cents, l'acell held out for
three years and then came down.
Meanwhile Geocaris was becoming a
'shoe-shining' magnet. He opened
lare establishments in Milwaukee, De
troit, St. Louis, Omaha, and Kansas
City. Ten years aft.-r he landed tit
th Polk street depot with o cents in
his pocket he was the proprietor cf
twenty-live parlors and the employer ot
'2V men and hoys. 1 1 is net income
was said to be if '.,5, hjO.
Now he is a rich mail with many
1 uslnes interests. You may see him
drive up to his ollhvs in Chicago's
tiatiro.i building at Halsted itreet and
Pdne Is'and avenue In an automobile
any afterr.oon. There he dictates "fl
it rs for an hour or so and then drives
away again. He has i steamship
agency, and handles Insurance, real es
tate and brokerage. He Is probably
worth $150,000, and retains only the
general supervision of his various Interests.
The "shoe-sliliilng"' business of a Mg
city is quite an affair. In Chicago
there are more thau sixty "parlors"
within the loop, and outside of it more
than 400, to say nothing of the busi
ness of the barber shops. It Is esti
mated that Chieagoans spend more
than than $''00,000 a year in having
their shoes "sinned." Of this $100,(H0
represents the profits of the business,
which Includes many sides lines, such
as the sale of Insoles, laces and foot
powder, nud the cleaning of hats
"while you wait"
Geocaris had never been at school nn
hour hi his life until he became a pu
pil In a Chicago night school. P.ut he
organized his business, systematized
It. Introduced many small economies,
and expanded It lu a way that would
do credit to the most modern of our
native born captains of Industry.
Athens has taught the world many
things. To these must be added the
science of "shining'' shoes. Chicago
