The output last year was nearly 40 per cent in excess of that of the year before, and a still further increase will be seen this year. Exportation of coal from India has already begun. The coal is found over wide areas and the growing shortage in England may be relieved by the expansion of the mining industry in India and the United States may find that country a serious competitor.

Years of Tollsome Ministry Among the Choctaws. Little York, Ind., April 1.—(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies; until on April 5th, 1885, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over the prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am 68 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that is claimed for them They have certainly been a God-send to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they never fail. It takes a wasp to make a lazy man get a move on himself.

CONGRESSMAN BOTKI The Well-Known Kansas Statesman, Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach by Pe-ru-na. AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SUFFERING More Evidence of Interest to the Millions of Catam Sufferers in the United States. HON. J. D. BOTKIN, CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE FROM KANSAS. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, whose fame is a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent cure qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalin. I have been afflicted or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a condition of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna is surely a wonderful edy for catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkin, Congressman-at-Large. the most influential and best known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be accepted by the people as the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of so famous a man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he used it and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it. Mr. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn., says in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say a word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, and I know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the curative effects of this medicine. Peruna is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh of the stomach it is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five bottles cured me."—Frank Richter. The gastric juice is secreted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this juice is normal it digests (dissolves) the food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric juice is not normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. This condition is known as indigestion. Professional Criminals Increasing Crimes and criminals, as shown by statistics, are decreasing in number. But while crime in general is thus on the decrease, the class of professional criminals is on the increase and is becoming a more and more serious public menace. Work of Visiting Nurses. The Visiting Nurses' Association of Chicago during the month of February cared for 836 patients and 3,528 visits were made. Free service was rendered in every case. The association is supported by voluntary contributions of charitable persons. It's only natural for the crank to find life a grind. Origin of Name "Chicago." The late Edward G. Mason, of Chicago, who devoted much time, research and labor to gathering materials for a history of Illinois that he purposed writing, came to the conclusion that the name Chicago was derived from "Checagou," a place visited by former companions of La Salle in 1687. One of the visiting Frenchmen recorded that it took that name from the quantity of garlic that grew in the woods there.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Mrs. Selina Tanner. Athena writes: "I cannot words to es I words to en my thanks your kind and I never I thought I ha tarrh of the mach. I menced in Peruna as directed. My mach cont to hurt m about two after I began medicine I then it stop now have a appetite w before I nearly start Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, writes: "I do believe that my catarrh tirely cured. I have not had any t with my stomach for a long time, as well as one of my age could (seventy years). I have had the tarrh ever since I was a young and have doctored for it for year got very little better, but thanks and your Peruna and Manalin I I am well of it. I can eat anything and it doesn't hurt me, and Pera the only thing I have ever found will cure the catarrh. I believe it only cure for catarrh, and I hope one troubled with catarrh will runa and be cured."—L. O.
