Mrs. E. M. Timey, story writer,

writes:
"During 1901 I suffered from
nasal catarrh, which various other
remedies failed to relieve.
"Six bottles of Peruna, which I
took, entirely cured me, the catarrh
dicappeitring and never returning.
"I therefore cheerfully recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted."
Mrs. Ellen Magle, 414 4th street,
Gren Bay, Wis., writes:
"I have often heard Pel una praieed

any other medicine, but I never knew
what a splendid medicine it really was

"The doctor wanted to prescribe, but
I told him I was going to try Peruna

"I felt much better the next morn

trace of any lameness or any cough.
"I consider it the finest cough remedy."

Invites Consumption

deranges the digestive organs, and
breaks down the general health.
It often causes headache and dizzi

CATAM
TOIJ
DISEASE!
And system disordered
Catarrh Is not merely an inflammation, of the tissue3 of the head and
throat, as the symptoms cf ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
Into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would scent to indi
cate; it is a blood disease ia which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
cf uric acid in the blood. The Wver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
come torpid and dull ia their action and instead of carrying oil the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form tiric acid in the system.
.This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
Sarta of the system. These impurities ia the blood irritate and inflame
le different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
cf a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire systeia disordered and
affected by this disease. It ia a waste of

VTCTOEIA A MIGHTY CATAEACT.
Afrlcaa Waterfall Far Eellp.es Oar
Owa Niagara la Graadear.
Oozing out of a black, boggy depres
sion in the heart of southern Africa Is
a sluggish, muddy stream which wends
its way southward, leisurely at first,
but It soon grows rapidly In size and
strength until it pours Into the Indian
Ocean, 1,050 miles away, fourth In
rank among the mighty rivers of Af
rica, says the Scientific American.
About 700 miles from its source, arid
Just beyond the cataracts of Mololo,
the Zambesi, joined by the waters of
the Kwando River, spreads out Into
what might be termed a lake about six
miles long and over a mile in width.
This lake Is studded with Islands and
the surface is very smooth, the vegeta
tion' along the banks being perfectly
mirrored In the placid water. Strange
to say, the lower end of this lake is
marked not by a shore line nor by the
slightest narrowing of Its surface, but
by an abrupt fall beside which our
much vaunted Niagara Is a mere pyg
my. It is an entire lake that takes the
plunge, and not merely a river.
A comparison of Niagara and Vic
toria falls shows at a glance how vast
ly greater is the African falls. At
Niagara the river takes a plunge of 168
feet, but the Zambesi falls sheer 400
feet The crest of Victoria falls Is over
a mile long 5,808 feet, to be exact
whereas the American fall at Niagara
measures only 1,000 feet, and the Horse
shoe fall Is only 1,230 feet across, or
3,010 feet as measured along the curve.
To Illustrate the magnitude of the Af
rican waterfall we might depict against
it the skyline of New York from Bat
tery Park to Worth street Not a build
ing would project above the crest of
the falls excepting only the tower of
the Singer building, which Is now In
process of erection. To be sure, In
comparing Niagara with Victoria, It
must be said In favor of the former
that the Horseshoe fall presents an un
broken crest, while the edge of the
Victoria Is divided by numerous Isl
ands Into stretches which nowhere ex
ceeds 600 feet At the center la Liv
ingstone Island, and to the left, as
you look up stream, Is the main fall,
while at the right of the island Is the
Rainbow fall. Buka Island separates
the main fall from the Cascade or Dev
il's Creek.
