SIX YEARS FOR SIMS Unexpected Announcement in Case of Atlanta Bank Thief. ENTERED PLEA OF GUILT Speedy Trial Was Had in Federal Court Before Judge Newman. Public Taken Completely G. II. Sims, the young collection clerk who stole more than $93,000 from the Capital City National bank, plead guilty before Judge Newman in the United States court at Atlanta Tuesday morning of the charge of embezzlement, and was sentenced to six years in the Atlanta federal prison. He was transferred at once to the prison and began serving the sentence. This move came as a surprise to all, as it was the general belief that Sims would be tried in a formal manner some time in May or June. After the eleven indictments were returned against him by the federal grand jury Monday morning, he at once determined to waive trial and enter the plea of guilty and at once begin to serve his time. He had no attorney. When Sims was brought into the federal court room on the fourth floor of the government building, there were very few people present. No one outside the immediate family of the prisoner and the officials of the United States court knew that the young man was to be tried, and as a consequence there were no spectators in the court room beyond a few people who were present as witnesses in other cases. Sims came into the room in the custody of Deputy Marshal Landers. He appeared to be very nervous, and his face showed that he had been subjected to an awful mental strain since his apprehension a few weeks ago. Slowly he walked down the aisle by the side of the officer who had him in charge. Upon reaching the table in front of the clerk's desk the two men paused, and Assistant District Attorney George L. Bell came forward and stated the case both for the government and for Sims, who, Colonel Bell stated, desired to plead guilty. After Attorney Bell completed the statement of the case, Judge Newman asked the young defaulter if he had anything to say. "I have not, your honor, with the exception that I plead guilty to the charge and stand ready to accept whatever sentence you may see fit to impose upon me." Sims' voice was not heard beyond the railing separating the portion of the room assigned for counsel and the benches for spectators and witnesses. It was very low and quavered slightly from nervousness with which he seemed to be suffering more than since the day his crime was announced. The plea of guilty was written upon the form provided for the purpose and placed by Attorney Belt before the prisoner for his signature. Sims took the pen in his hand, which shook almost as if it were palsied. His name was affixed to the paper only after an effort to overcome the nervousness which had seized him. Judge Newman made a few remarks, stating that he regretted such a thing ever became necessary, and that the sentence he imposed would be as light as was possible under the existing circumstances. He then stated that he would make the time six years and ordered the young prisoner taken to the federal prison. At stated, the federal grand jury Monday morning returned eleven true bills against Sims. The first of these was general in its nature and covered completely the crime charged against the former bank clerk. The other ten were more specific and cited instances, but all coming under the general offense of altering the books of the bank for the purpose of defrauding the institution of its funds, or to deceive the national bank examiner when an inspection of the bank was made. Sims received sentence only on the first indictment. The remaining ten were ordered poll probed. DEWEY HOISTS HIS PENNANT. - Admiral Off to Drill Grounds to Inspect Higginson's Fleet.

Citizens of a Town in Indian Territory Adopt New Plan for Barring the Black Man. The officers of Muscogee, Indian Territory, have just been notified of the destruction of two store buildings by dynamite at Beggs, a nearby town, and imminent danger of race trouble. Three weeks ago a family of negroes, consisting of a father and three sons, moved from Alabama to Beggs. They had $10,000 and proposed to invest it. Beggs is not strictly a white town, but there are no negroes in business there. The James family bought property, built a store building and put in a stock of goods. For three successive nights after the opening of the store, a poster with a picture of a negro hanging from a telegraph pole and the inscription, "You have brought trouble here," was posted on the door. The negroes paid no attention to this warning and Saturday night about 9 o'clock a stick of dynamite was set off under one end of the building and it was totally wrecked. A drug store adjoining, which belonged to a white man, was also wrecked. No one was injured. The Jamesses are still at Beggs and announce that they are going to stay. There is considerable race feeling. The officers are keeping a close watch on the situation and some men have been quietly sent to Beggs to quell any possible uprising. PRESIDENT ON THE MOVE. Resumes Tour and Is Given Receptions and Ovations Along Routes President Roosevelt Friday afternoon resumed this our. Before going, however, he participated in the laying of the corner stone of the new gate at the northern entrance to Yellowstone park. The ceremony was performed according to the Masonic ritual and was in charge of the grand officers of the state of Montana. He completed a hard day of traveling with a fifteen-minute stop at Alliance, Nebraska, Saturday evening. During the day the president traveled in three states and made a number of addresses, both from the rear platform of his car and from stands erected for the purpose. The most unique demonstration of the day, and the one that undoubtedly pleased the president most, was the cowboy show, at Edgemont, S. Dak. The demonstration was arranged by the Society of Black Hills Ploneers, and consisted of exhibitions of cowboy riding. Special trains brought in large crowds from the surrounding country, and they were all at the station, with three bands of music, to greet the president. At Newcasile, Wyo., where a half hour stop was made, the president was escorted to the speakers' stand along a pathway strewn with flowers. The stand from which he spoke was gaily decorated, a stuffed bear and deer standing on either side and a large stuffed eagle surmounting the top. The president was given a military welcome at Crawford, Nebr., when his train reached there. The Tenth cavalry, mounted, met him with drawn sabers and the regimental band played "Hail to the Chief." He spoke a few words of greeting to the soldiers and also briefly addressed the large crowd that gathered about his car. Stops were also made during the day at Gillette and Moorcroft, Wyo., and Ardmore, S. Dak., and at each place the president spoke briefly. At all of the stopping places the crowds were enthusiastic and extended warm greetings. Sunday was quietly spent on the train at Grand Island, Nebraska. MORMONS MUST VAMOSE. Missicnaries Receive Orders to Get Out of Prussia Instanter. The governments of Prussia and of the grand duchies of Mecklenburg have decided to expel the Mormon missionaries, of whom there are 145 in Germany and 90 in Prussia on the ground that they are propagating a form of religious belief incompatible with the laws of state and public morals and because polygamy is not excluded from their doctrines. The missionaries are all Americans. HEARST NOW A BENEDICT. Well Known Multi-Newspaper Proprietor Takes Into Himself a Wife.

Wilson, president of the Advance Music Company, of that city. The ceremony was performed in the chancery of Grace church, Bishop Potter officiating. A number of the personal friends of the couple were present. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 2. 1903. BILL BACKS RUSSIA Germany Holds Good Hand in Manchurian Muddle. SECRET UNDERSTANDING Secretary Hay and the Czar's Representatives at Washington Hold Important Sunday Conference. Washington special says: Close on the nests of the Anglo-German alliance against Venezuela comes news of a secret understanding between Germany and Russia, by which the latter country is to receive, the acquiescence of the Berlin government in practically Russianizing the whole of Manchuria. This is the most important disclosure since the announcement, several days ago, from Pekin of the Russian demands in Manchuria, which has upset the official and diplomatic circles in a way scarcely paralleled throughout the many acute stages of the Venezuelan embroglio. As for the announcement that Germany will stand by Russia, or at least acquiesce in Russia's demands, this is taken to mean that Germany has Russia's pledge of support when the time comes for the kaised to demand the province of Shantung for his own. It was to be expected, in view of the mutual wave of animosity that swept over Germany and Great Britian at the time of the Venezuelan blockade, when these two powers acted in unison, that Berlin and London could not act in harmony long with the German and British people so bitterly opposed to such a policy. . Hay and Cassini Confer. Russia's demands in Manchuria and their effect on American interests were the subject of a conference Sunday afternoon between Secretary Hay and Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, which occurred at Secretary Hay's house and astedor nearly an hour. It is denied that the ambassador brought official advises from his government, but the fact that he is still suffering from an attack of lumbago which has confined him to the embassy for several weeks, is evidence of the urgency of the call. Steps already have been taken by the state department to ascertain the true inwardness of Russia's latest move. Ambassador McCormick, at St. Petersburg, has been instructed by cable to present to the Russian foreign office a note which, while diplomatically known as one of inquiry, is in substance a strong protest against Russia's demands. Cabled instructions also have been sent to Minister Conger, at Pekin, to express to the Chinese authorities the dissatisfaction of the United States with Russia's demands and our hope that China will not accede to them. No answers have yet been received to either note, though unofficial assurances are still reaching the department that American interests in Manchuria will be protected. In the department's note, which Ambassador McCormick probably has presented already, Russia's attention is called to the assurances which repeatedly have been given the United States relative to the preservation of the integrity of China and the continuance of the open door policy Russia also is reminded of the severe blow to American trade which must follow the granting of the first two demands, that no more ports or towns in Manchuria be opened and that no additional foreign consuls be admitted. Russia's reason for contending for the closed door in Manchuria is the claim that the open door is not a commercial but a political question. She continues to assure the United States that in some way this country's interests will be protected in Manchuria. The point is made that as the Manchurian demands are still in negotiation between St. Petersburg and Pekin, the United States cannot expect that Russia make concessions until the fate of her demands has been determined. GATEKEEPER USED HIS GUN. Fatality Follows Temporary Strike in Lanett, Alabama, Cotton Mills. In the town of Lanett, Ala., Monday morning, Lucius Ogletree shot, and instantly killed John L. Potter and fatally wounded Dan Zachry and then made good his escape: All of the parties are white men, being operatives of the Lanett mills. PLEAS FOR GOOD ROADS. W. J. Bryan and General Miles Make interesting Addresses at National Meeting in St. Louis. The second day's session of the National and International Good Roads convention at St. Louis opened Tuesday with a far better attendance than on Monday. President Moore introduced General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., and president of the National Highway commission, who made the principal address of the forenoon. General Miles was received with great enthusiasm by the delegate. He spoke on the subject of military roads and a national highway, and said in part: "I know of no one element of civilization in our country that has been more neglected and yet is susceptible of bestowing a greater blessing on people than improvement of our lines of communication and avenues of international commerce. Our government has expended $500,000,000 for the improvement of our harbors and waterways, and now the attention of the public is being called to our postal roads and avenues for communication that are most useful and important to all our people. "If such expenditures of the national treasure have been made in the past for the development of railroads and waterways, is it not now a most appropriate time that the improvement of your roads receive national attention and governmental aid? The property of the people and the wealth of the nation comes from the ground. Therefore, every measure, whether by the national government, the state, the county or municipal authorities, that can promote the welfare of the people, should not be withheld." Hon R. H. Jesse, president of the University of Missouri, spoke on "The Relation of Roads and Schools." He was followed by former Governor J. R. Hogg, of Texas, who made an impromptu speech on the subject before the convention. Hon. W. J. Bryan was given an enthusiastic reception. He said in part: tuslastic reception. He said in part: "The expenditure of money for the permanent improvement of the common roads can be defended, first as a matter of justice to the people who live in the country; second, as a matter of advantage to the people who do not live in the country; third, on the ground that the welfare of the nation demands that the comforts of country life shall, as far as possible, keep pace with the comforts of city life. "It is a well known fact, or a fact easily ascertained, that the people in the country, while paying their full share of county, state and federal taxes, receive as a rule only the general benefits of government, while the people in the cities have in addition to the protection afforded by the government, the advantage arising from the expenditure of public moneys in their midst." "The improvement of the country roads can be justified also upon the ground that the farmer, the first and most important of the producers, of wealth, ought to be in a position to hold his crop and market it at the most favorable opportunity, whereas, at present he is virtually under compulsion to sell it as soon as it is matured, because the roads may become impassible at any time during the fall, winter or spring. Instead of being his own warehouseman, the farmer is compelled to employ the middlemen and share with them the profit upon his labor. "It is important for the welfare of our government and for the improvement of our civilization that we make life upon the farms as attractive as possible. "Notwithstanding the introduction of free letter delivery, the telephone, gas manufacturing plants, and the extension of electric car lines, there still remains a pressing need for better country roads, a need emphasized and made more apparent by the pavement of city streets. As long as mud placed an embargo on city traffic, the farmer could bear his mud-made isolation with less complaint, but with the improvement of city streets and with the establishment of parks and boulevards, the farmers' just demands for better roads find increasing expression. The people now realize that bad roads are indefinite and are prepared to consider the remedy." BUNGLING WORK OF SHERIFF. Negro Comes to Life Again After Be- ing Cut Down from Gallows. It has been learned that a negro hanged in Wedowee, Ala., some two weeks ago, is now able to sit up and may recover. After the negro was pronounced dead, he was cut down, as is usual, and shortly afterward began to show signs of life. A physician was summoned and applied restoratives and the man is now able to sit up. This was the first man ever hanged in Randolph county, and it is thought the officials were exciled and allowed him to be cut down before he was dead. BLACKS LOSE CASE SUPREME COURT·DECIDES Court Holds that it Cannot Interfere or Grant Relief Asked Because Political Question is A Washington special says: The United States supreme court Monday decided the case of Jackson W. Giles vs. Board of Registrars of Montgomery county, Alabama. Giles is a colored man, who was denied the privilege of registering as a voter, under the new constitution of Alabama, and the case was brought to test the validity of that portion of the state constitution bearing upon this question. The relief sought was denied on the ground that the case was political. Justice Holmes, who delivered the opinion, said that for the court to interfere would be an unhcard-of relief in cases presenting only political questions. The court, as a whole, did not pass upon the question of jurisdiction, which was the question certified by the circuit court for the middle district of Alabama, and Justice Harlan dissented, on the ground that the court could have declined to assume jurisdiction. Justice Brewer and Justice Brown united in a dissent in which they upheld the jurisdiction of the federal court on the ground that as Giles was denied the right of voting for a member of congress by the refusal of the right to register, a federal question was involved. Justice Holmes' written opinion was not made public, but he made quite an extended statement from the bench, reciting at some length Giles petition in which Giles claimed to speak not alone for himself, but for 5,000 other negro adults of Montgomery county, who he claimed would be disfranchised as a result of the enforcement of the suffrage provisions of the state constitution of 1901. The case had been dismissed below for want of jurisdiction, but Justice Holmes said a majority of the court were of opinion that the supreme court should confine itself to the question of jurisdiction, but should consider the case on its merits. He then announced that it would be impossible to grant the relief asked. He pointed out that while Giles is contending that the franchise system of Alabama is a fraud, he declares competency as a voter under it, and closed by saying that it was beyond the power of a court of equity to grant the petition. Justice Harlan, in dissenting, said that in his opinion the case should have been dismissed for want of jurisdiction alone, as was done in the circuit court, and he criticised court's opinion, saying that it left the question of jurisdiction in the cirl and that he was not willing to be a party to such a proceeding. Justice Brewer delivered the other dissenting opinion, in which Justice Brown concurred. They expressed opinion that the circuit court should be directed to assume jurisdiction of the case. NEGRO WOMEN CAUSED STRIKE. Were Employed to Take Places of Children Barred by New Law. On account of the child labor law of the state of Alabama, which went into effect on the 25th instant, 125 children under the legal age were sent out of the Lanett, Ala., cotton mills from their work Monday morning. In filling the places of the young operatives where it would not come in contact with the white workers, the management put in several negro women in a side building to do the low grade work, and this action was misconstrued by some of the operatives who thought that this change would interfere with their positions and salaries and decided to walk out on a strike. The word passed over all four floors of the large building, and in a very short while the entire force of 1,500 men and women walked out on a strike. The entire crowd of strikers marched in a body across to the large square in front of the main office. They then announced that unless all negroes were immediately and permanently, withdrawn from the mills they would not return to their work. Superintendent Coburn immediately informed President Lanler of the state of affairs, and he at once appeared on the scene and addressed the laborers, agreeing to grant their request. This being the only grievance, and as it was promptly settled, the laborers agreed to resume work. HOT REPORT BY MILES. General Throws Light on Alleged Outrages Committed by American Soldiers in Philippines The war department, Monday, made public that portion of the report of General Miles which refers to misconduct of officers and soldiers in the Philippines. The statements made by General Miles are the result of his tour of inspection in the Philippines last autumn and winter. General Miles' report of his Phillippines observations is dated February 19, 1903, and is addressed to the secretary of war. He says that in going from Calamba to Batangas in November last he noticed that the country appeared devastated and that the people were very much depressed. Stopping at Lipa he says a party of citizens headed by the acting presidente met him and stated that they desired to make complaint of harsh treatment of the people of that community, saying they had been concentrated in towns and laid suffered great indignities, that fifteen of their people had been tortured by what is known as the "water torture, and that one man, highly respected citizen, aged 65 years, named Vincente Luna, while suffering from the effects of the torture and unconscious, was dragged from his house, which had even set on fire, and was burned to death. The Work of Scouts. They stated that these atrocities were committed by a company of scouts under command of Lieutenant Hennessy, and that their people had been crowded into town, 60 being confined in one building. A doctor of the party said he was ready to testify that some of the 600 died from sunlocation. General Miles says he looked at the building, which was one-story in height, 18 or 20 feet wide and possibly 60 or 70 feet long. He asked for a written statement, to be forwarded him at Manila, but says he never received it and adds: Concerning the failure to receive the statement, General Miles says: "Whether any influence was brought to bear to prevent their statement, either by persuasion or coercion, I am not prepared to say at the present time." General Miles then reters to other cases, saying that on the island of Cebu it was reported and published in November, 1902, that "two officers, Captain Samuels, Forty-fourth infantry, U. S. Volunteers, and Lieutenant Feeter, Nlneteenth infantry, had committed similar atrocities against the people of that island. The Lash Used. "It is also reported that at Laog, on the Island of Luzon, two natives were whipped to death. "At Tacloban, Leyte, it was reported that Major Glenn ordered Lieutenant Canfield, of the scouts, to take eight prisoners out into the country and that if they did not guide him to the camp, of the insurgent he was not to bring them back. It was stated that the men were taken cut and they either did not or could not do as directed. "One of the men who had a sor among the scouts was spared, but the others were separated into two parties, numbering three or four, respectively, and while tied together were all murdered by being shot or bayonetted to death, some being in a kncelling position at that time. "The pretense was made that they were killed while attempting to escape but so far as I know no official report was ever made of the circumstances. These facts have been reported by Major Watts, who investigated the case. Besides Lieutenant Caufield civilian scouts Rafls, Preston, Scorn and McKeen were participants." Funston Turned Down. The judge advocate general by direction of Secretary Root has sent a formal letter to General Funston denying the latter's request for a court of inquiry in connection with the charges that General Funston had been guilty of cruelty to Filipinos. BOLD DEED OF ROBBER. In Broad Daylight Negro Pilizes Residence in Americus, Ga. Armed with a chop-ax, a negro boldly entered the Dodson residence in Americus, Ga., Sunday afternoon, and defying and terrorizing the ladies present, boldly proceeded to confiscate everything in the way of valuables desired. One or two handsome, watches and other property was seized by the robber, who clamly walked from the residence, still brandishing the chop-ax and escaped. The Savannah Tribune. BATuRDAY May 2, 1903.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "To Young Women:—I suffered for six years with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy."—Miss Agnes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, Ill. The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regulates menstruation and makes those periods painless. READ WHAT MISS LINDBECK SAYS: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has greatly benefitted me. I will tell you how I suffered. My trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse. I had severe bearing-down pains in my back and abdomen." "A friend advised me to try Mrs. Pinkham's medicine. I did so and am now free from all pain during my periods."—Jessie C.

Read this testimony to the merit of the greatest of kidney specifics. J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: "With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason that nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was curled by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial."

Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. HIS COMPLAINT. I am a baby, eleven months old, and nearly worn out already. Please let me alone. I am not a prodigy, except on the extent that, not having anything to say I don't talk. Two big persons claim to be my parents—why can't they let it go at that? I have never denied the charge. I haven't much data to go by, but I do think I am either a magician, a learned pig, or a virtuoso. I don't hanker for applause; so, it will be an appreciated favor if you won't put me through any parlor tricks. If I have my wealthy old Uncle Ezra's nose, congratulate Uncle Ezra, but don't blame me. I may be a kleptomaniac, for all I know, but I can't help it. Don't rattle rattles at me—they rattle me. Don't goo-goo and ootsie-kootsie at me. I can't understand it any better than I can the English language. The pain I have is not in my stomach, but in my neck. I don't want to be entertained or mystified or medicated or applaused. And, if you don't want me to grow up to be a hypochondriac, a stamp-collector, an awful example, a pingpong enthusiast, or a misanthrope, you just lemme be!—May Smart Set. If by any chance the Detective Bureau officials get hold of Talbot Smith's story, "A Perfect Disappearance," which is one of the features in Ainslee's for May, they will be likely to congratulate themselves on having an explanation to offer for their many unsolved murder mysteries. It's not a bad explanation, and they ought to welcome it: James Huneker, noted for the originality and vigor of his musical and dramatic criticism, appears in Ainslee's for May as author of "The Hall of the Missing Footsteps," a mysterious story into which is most adroitly woven much of the author's understanding of music.

"Through my own experience as well as that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of catarrh by the use of Hartman's Peruna, I can confidently recommend it to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation in prescribing it to my patients."—Robert R. Roberts. CONSTANTLY increasing number of physicians preside Peruna in their regular practice, as is proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patient medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systematic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, as everyone will admit, is the cause of one-half the diseases which affect mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases affect one-half of the people of United States. F. H. Brand, M.D. of Mokena, Ill., uses Peruna in his practice. The following case is an example of the success he has through the use of Peruna for catarrh. Dr. Brand says: "Mrs. C., age 25, had been a sufferer from catarrh for the past seven years; could not hear plain and had watery eyes. She came to me almost a physical wreck. She had tried the Copper lures and various other so-called specialists, and had distracted no benefit from them. She told me she did not DON'T GET WET!

Catarrh means inflamed mucous membranes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse and invigorate the catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane no matter where it may occur in the body. Its action is the same on the mucous lining of the nose as on the mucous lining of the bowels. It curves the catarrhal inflammation wherever it may occur. Dr. H. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writetr "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for cough and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Dudley ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but, said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." We say Peruna cures catarrh. The people say Peruna cures catarrh. Prominent men and women all over the United States from Maine to California do not hesitate to come out in public print to say that Peruna is what it is recommended to be an internal, systemic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever it may be located. Dr. M. C. Gee's Experience: Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: "There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines. But when any one medicine cures hundreds of people, it demonstrates the own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. "Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures laucorrhea and varican troubles, and builds up the entire system. I also consider it one of the finest ca'arrh remedies I know of. I heartily endorse your medicine."—H. C. Gee, M. D. Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called. Especially in the first few weeks of warm weather do the disagreeable symptoms of female weakness make themselves apparent. In cold, cold weather chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not feel so persistently the debilitating effects of apnoea upon its airway, a branch of the sinus tract and tired feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh feels the need of a strengthening tonic. Peruna is not only the best spring tonic or such cases, but if persisted in will effect a complete cure. Write for a copy of "Health and Beauty," written especially for women by Dr. Hartman. If you want to read of some cures, also, write for a copy of "Facts and Faces." That will surely convince you that our claims are valid. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
