derstand each other, or when gre.it
public policies are carefully studied,
misunderstandings and prejudices ara
destroyed and a wise; course is sure
to result He spoke of misinform*-
tlon relating to river and harbor legis-
lation. No legislation enacted by Con-
gress was more generally misunder-
stood.
As sn Illustration, the Impression
has gained acceptance that a large
share of the amounts apportioned by
the government for the improvement
of waterways is expended upon Insig-
nificant streams. An examination of
this kind of expenditures for 1902
showed that In a bill of >05,000.000
only >300.000 or >400,000 was appor-
tioned to rivets and creeks of minor
Importance while In the bill just pass-
ed. amount ins to >$7,000,000, the total
amount was less than >1,000,000. On
the other hand, many improvements
of this class were among the most
helpful undertaken by the Federal
government. He also mentioned a pre-
valent opinion that the bill was the re-
sult of compromise or log rolling.
It, has been, lie'said, the aim of the
Committee oil Rivers and Harbors to
recommend appropriations in accord-
ance with the general rules and with
the utmost care that all localities re-
ceive just and equal treatment. lUei.-

it is compounded as upon ths ingrsd lenta uv«d.
First, there must te a du? proportion of tn#
in the pharmac:peia baa ita *
drugs that havs slightly differ
with strict reference to the use for which tne compound is intended Tne
drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but tne compound ENTIRE-
I LY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in whicn they are combined.
It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion.
There is no lam of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of
j proportion can be determined EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE.
In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years
exoerience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the ca-
tarr hremedy, Peruna. he hae learned title by little, how to harmonize the
aci.on of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable co npound,
how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the
operation and the chemical peculirri ties of each several ingredient in or-
der to produce a pharmaceutical product beyord the criticism of doctors,
pharmacists or chemi ts.
WE REPEAT. THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH
THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED A3 DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS
THEMSELVES.
The cemeound murt pr. sent a stability which it not affected by changes
cf temperature, not affected by exposure to the air. not affected by age. It
must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the
logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of tht
tropica.
A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any drug-
gist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which
these ingredients ar. brought together that give Peruna much of ita pecul-
iar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy.
However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value
of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion In
which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is
the only way a medical compound cm be made of real value.
