T After Spending Thousands of Dollars
asd Consulting the Most Eminent
Physicians, He Was Desperate.
CHICAGO, ll.LS.-Mr. J. Q.
Becker, of 134 Van Buren 8t., a
well-known wholesale dry goods
dealer, states as follows:
••I have had catarrh for more
than thirty years. Have tried
everything on earth and spent
thousands of dollars for other
medicines and with physicians,
without getting any lasting re-
lief, and can say to you that I
have found Peruna the only rem*
edy that has cured mo per-
manently.
"Peruna has also cured my
wife of catarrh. She always keeps
It in the house for an attack of
• Cold, which it invariably cures in
a very short time."
^ LONG TIME BETWEEN DOSES.

Doctor—If the medicine la too bit-
ter you might take it with a glass of
beer, but you should take It regularly,
every two hours.
Patience—Only every two hours?
Fight Against Plague Goes On.
Although the survey of the past
year's anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country Indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next year's anti-
tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976.-
(M. iu addition to these appropria-
tions over $4,0(10.000 bas been set
aside by the different state l< gisla-
tures for the campaign against tuber-
culosis this year, ltesides these sums,
a large number of the present exist-
ing institutions and associations are
planning enlargements of their work,
and new organizations are being
formed daily.
