Practical statements to !
women about catarrh.
KANWLITY
in women preserves beauty. Women
suffering from any catarrhal trouble
cannot bo wholly attraetire. If the
catarrh is in the head, nose, throat
or stomach the breath declares it.
If it is in the lnnjfs it means con-
sumption. Troubles of the pelvic
organs are in almost every case
catarrh. Every phase of catarrh
is unclean; many of them are dis-
gusting.
JJJi Catarrh has many names but its
' ^ x tMs^\ character is the name; wherever it
is there is inflammation. To cure
catarrh the remedy must be scien-
tific and thorough. Such a remedy
is Pe-ru-na, which for forty years has 1>ecn successfully combating this insidious
disease, liead what Mrs. Beooltsays about it:
Pe-ru-na Medicine Company, Columbus, O.
1)kak Siiis:—I have been sick since last fall. The doctors said I had catarrh.
I employed three physicians but they did not help me at all. I finally gavo
up doctors and began to take medicines 1 saw advertised, but 1 continued
to grow worse. 1 was so miserable I wished I was dead. Life had no pleasures
for me. At last I saw Pe-ru-na advertised and got a bottle. Half a bottle
helped me. and after I had taken four bottles I was well. I have pained in
weight ami feel years younger.—Mrs. Benolt, 131 Pleasant 8t., Cincinnati, O.
Dr. Ilartman will prescribe for fifty thousand women this year free of charge.
All women suffering from female troubles or any disease of the mucous mem-
brane may have Dr. Hartman's private counsel without cost. Send for special
question blank for women.
Mrs. .1. Koeller, llockford. 111., says:—"I havo been troubled with chronic
catarrh several years. I tried almost everything, and employed several prom-
inent physicians, but to no avail. I saw an advertisement of your medicine and
gave it a trial. 1 have found I'e-ru-na a great help. 1 can heartily rccommend
It to all suffering from that dread disease."
The uncleanness of catarrh makes the disease abhorrent to a careful woman.
Catarrh will not go away itself. Its existence must be made impossible. This
is what Pe-ru-na does. It makes the membranes healthy all through the
organs of the body and catarrh ceases to exist. All druggists sell Pe-ru-na.

The Loosening of the 4$onranrioe In j "

eflclal--A Wood Kiport t
DrmunJ. r
J
New Tork. Oct. 34.—Brad3treet*s tomor- t
row will say: While the advent of cool- I
er weather In most sections of the conn- (
try has undoubtedly been Instrumental in <
causing some of the improvement in ti
tone of the distributive trade, percepti-
ble at most markets this week, beneflct
effect upon general business and pai'.lc-
ularly upon agricultural products of the ;
reported improved demand abroad I 'or j
our staple cereals should not be lost sight,
of. At most western renters an improve-,
merit in the retail and jobbing trade in |
reasonable dry goods, clothing and shoes
Is reported and more seasonable weatner ,
In the south is responsible for some re-
laxation of the absurd quarantines* which
have done so much to cripple trade In I
that section. Particularly prominent In
this connection is the loosening of ihe.
quarantines In the lower Mississippi val j
ley where It begins at least apparently
to be appreciated that the quarantines
are worse than the disease they aim to
fight. Good export demand In general
European account, smaller shipments
fiom Russian and Australian crops and
an undoubtedly active home demand fori;
wheat for milling superinduced by the j
active foreign call for flour have all j ■
worked to strengthen the price of wheat ,
this week and sympathetic reflection is
found In the improved call for other cer-
eals at slightly better prices. Another
favorable feature in the foreign trade slt>
uation, too, has been the apparently sat-
isfactory progress making in developing
the trade with our new possessions In I
the Atlantic and Pacific. Large orders or.
Cuban account are said to have been
placed recently 1n New York and heavy ]
shipments to Manila and other Pacific ,
ocean points with the reported starting j
of new lines of steamships to Honolulu j
and Australia, all hear testimony to the i
energetic efforts of American business
men to build up our trade abroad. Rail-
road earnings and bank clearings con-
tinue to furnish favorable measures of
current business.
MISCELLANEOUS TRADES.
The leather situation has attracted j
more attention this week because of the
reported Intention to shut down large
numbers of tanneries In an effort to af-
fect the prices which are now said to be
relatively higher than the finished pro-
duct.
Iron trade reports are a repetition of
recent weeks, new business being of mod-
erate proportions, but mills and foundries
are kept busily employed on early orders.
Wi.eat. Including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 4,729.995 bushels,
against 5,397.224 last week. 5,930,720 In this
week a year ago, 4,156,817 in lSSfi. 2,409,446
In 1895 and 3.192.09R in 1894. Since July
first this year the exports of wheat ag-
gregate 56.C28.11C against 66,920,132 bushels
during the same period a year ago.
Corn exports aggregate 2.706,292 as
against 3.364,710 last week, 224.716 in the
corresponding week of 139., 1,ill,610 In
1896. 1,680.672 in 1895 and 113,553 in 1894.
Since July first this year corn exports
aggregate 41.966,243, against 45,842,818 last
year. <
