There sre an almost countless number of remedies said to cure chronic catarrh. ‘Lhe most of these are of no use whatever, and many worse than useless, being actually harmful. A few are successful ina small number of cases—those which are very slight and easily curable— cases which might almost get well by simply taking care not to catch cold again. But of all this vast mul titude of medicinee it can not be said that there are more than two or three which are actually specifics, and without doubt the most reliable is Peru-na. It always cures when ic is taithfully and conscientiously used. It not only cures catarrh of the head and throat, but catarrh of the stomach, liver, bowels, lungs, bronchial tubes, kidneys and in fact any of the organs of the human body. of catarrh, wherever P-ru-na can not ure, or at least greatly help It may be procured at all the drug stores, and it should be given a fathful trial by those who have tried im vain elsewhere to get relief.

This verdict is received with almost univergal satisfaction. This is the seeond trial that Dr. Duestrow has had on the charge of murder, the first one resulting in a hung jury last year. The terrible crime with which he was charged was committed in February, 1894. One day that month, his wife await- ing his coming home to take a drive. When he came into the house, Dues- trow was drunk, began to abouse his wife and finally shot her down in cold blood. He then picked up his 3-year old boy, a beautiful child, and holding it at arm’s length, killed it with a pistol shot through the head. His wife lingered for several days and finally died.
