fdicine is the multitude of
endorsements which Peruna is
receiving as a catarrh core
from men of national
importance.
The most distinguished men
of the United States have no
hesitation in lending theii influence to
a*si.-t In letting the public know of the
merits of Peruna,
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore it
is almost a national curse, and it is of
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is a result of changeable
climate. Peruna is a result of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrh enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
ccnters to repel and expel the catarrh
from the system.
Catarrh is a systemic disease and
curable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.

The statement in the same editorial
that the case at Bliss was such an
"emergency" as provided for in the
territorial military code, is another
military absurdity which invokes only
a smile. For months and months be-
fore the whclt territory and the out-
side world knew of the affair, and
therefore, an "emergency" did not and
could not have existed, and the only
reasonable explanation of the remark-
able executive order, which will cost
the taxpayers of the territory heavily
to foot the bills of the militia called
out by it, is that the adjutant tripped
the governor Into issuing it in order
that he might gratify his malice toward
the commanding regimental officers, a
thing he felt doubtful about unless he
could manipulate an "emergency," and
in this he found a willing and pliant
executive.
That the adjutant, by order (?) of
the governor, may do this, is not called
into question, but the irregular.ty. arbi-
trariness and discourtesy to the colonel
commanding and the line officers are
matters of just and righteous complaint
and against which they have a right
to protest. Only when a military
necessity really exists, not inferential- tlme
ly, but actually and strong enough to
satisfy the mind of the governor that
the utmost celerity is necessary to
avert tho threatened peace, may, with
military propriety, orders be Issued di-
rectly to the commander of the com-
