VOL, XXX, a ; Butler Weekly (Tras) aay 0 hey THURS BUTLER, MISSOURI, DAY, MARCH 12, 1908. ) PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. 2. | oe ’ Dr, Hartman has claimed for many years that Peruna is an EXCELLENT CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor's critics have disputed the doctor's claim as to the efficacy of Peruna. Since the ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret, what do the medi- cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed? Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR GOLDEN SZAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal cstarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs, It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, CORYDALIS FORMOSA, is classed in the United Ste‘> Dispensatory asa tome. } CEDR. EEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been ver ; largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years, THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES. © Tho United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as , 8 bitter tonic anc in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases * asa SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPATBA, another ingredient of Peruana, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomech and intestinal tract. [t acts asa stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes, Our Peruna Tablet Is Peruna With ‘ Fluid Removed. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys- entery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder. OF HYDRASTIS, BARTHOLOW SAYS it is applicable to stomatitis (catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), chronic coryza (catarrh of the head), This writer classes hydrastis as a stomachic tonic, useful in atonic dyspepsia (chronic gastric catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of the intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronic Bright's disease), catarrh of the bladder, and catarrh of other pelvic organs, BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chronic catarrh of the bladder, chronic bronchitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes). BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBEB, an ingredient of Peruna, pro- motes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Use- fal in chronic nacal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat. It also re- lieves hoarseness, Useful in atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in chronic catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea, and chronic bronchial affecti. 1s. MILLSPAUGH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastric and vaso motor nerves, It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general. In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion, DR. SCUDDER regards it | collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease and asthma. ' These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind tha* Pe- runa is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the enthusiastic confidence of the hest authorities obtainable brought torethe in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by ample quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD. Re SATA LT EE IE OL EI 2 TE PE TL LE COMPLETE DEATH LIST 167.

Cleveland, 0., March 9 —The body of Miss Katherine Weiler, one of the two teachers, who lost their lives in } the Collinwood fire, was positively identitied by a dentist. The body could hardly be distinguished from the bodies of the smaller girls. The identification was established by her gold filled teeth upon a description 'urnished by a Pittsburg dentist. Miss Weiler died in an effort to ass turned back to try so lead her pupils out of the building. The body of Rosetta Machnich, a pupll in the school, was identified also by her shoes. When Mrs. Mach- nich was positive of the identifica- tion, she fell, fainting, upon thechar- red body of her little one. There are still twenty-viree bodies unidentified. So far 167 bodies have been recov ered. The list of missing now tallies with the number of unidentified, which would indicate that all of the bodies have been found and that the total death list will stand at 167. Dr.J.M.

NEBRASKA, FOR BRYAN ONLY. Commoner’s Views on National Policy of Democrats Are Reflected in Platform. Omaba, Neb. March.—This v as Bryan day {n Omaha and through- out Nebraska, With the Di mocratic Convention #8 sn nucleus, party leaders from every county and prac- tleally every primary district in the Commonwealth gathered here to pledge allegiance to the presidential aspirations of Mr. Bryan and to con- sider means of furthe' ing his inter- ests before the National Convention at Denver next July. Enthustasm was prevalent through out the day. It began early in the afternoon session of the conventton, and, gradually galning volume, broke outin tumultuous vocifera- tions when, at the beginning of the evening session the Platform Com- mittee presented this resolution: TO VOTE AS UNIT FOR BRYAN “The Democratic party of Ne braska again declares confidence fa the administration of Willlam J. Bryan In him we behold the {deal American eftizen—the {deal Demo- crat. We rejoice that the principles which he has so ably advocated have been gladly received and are now generaliy accepted by the American eople. ‘Resolved, That the delegates by this convention chosen be and are hereby instructed to vote asa unit for the nomination of Mr, Bryan for the presidency.” This official endorsement of Mr. Bryan’s candidacy met full approval of the delegation.

That it re- flected the leader’s views as to what should form the tesues upon which the party should go before the coun- ty next summer, was not denied, Mr Bryan, said, ho sever, that the dec- larations of the platform were nec essarily incomplete; that some sub- jects which undoubtedly will be fn. cluded in the national platform were omitted, while others were treated fn the Nebraska document {in a pur- posely brief manner, so as to allow amplization at Denver. The platform advanced little that was new.

Se - OC A ES, neh AE OEE «BES Dry South in Verse, At a New York banquet of the Southern soclety, the following poem was one of the features: THE SOUTH IS GOING DRY Lay the jest about the julep To the camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened, And the olden days are past. That which made Milwaukee famous Does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid in Alabama Is as tight locked as can be; And the comic paper Colonel And his cronies well may sigh. For tae mint is waving gayly, And the South fs going dry. By the stillside on the hillside In Kentuckey, all fe still. And the only damp refreshment Muat be dipped up from the rill, North Carolina’s stately Governor. Gives his soda glass a shove. And discusses local option With the South Carolina Gov It is useless nt the fountain To be winkful of the eye; For the cocktail is dusty, And the South ts going dry. It is water, water everywhere, And not # drop to drink; We no longer hear the music Of the mellow, erystal clink. And the Colonel and the General, And the Major and the Jedge Meet to have a little “nlp” To give the appetite an edge; For the eggnog now is nogless, And the “rye” has gone awry. And the punchbowl holds carnatious For the South fs going dry. “Bix is Dead.” Commoner, Lovers of dogs—and who, indeed, {8 not the lover of a dog?—will be in- teRested in the nes written by Edgar Howard, editor of the Columbus (Neb ) Telegram in tribute to afalth- ful animal. Mr, Howard {s one of Nebraska’s beat known democrats. When Commoner readers have finish- ed Mr. Howard’s tribute to his dog, hey will not need to he {ea master of the language of words, even ashe is & master of the language of love: . “Bix {s dead. Bix was a doginthe animal kingdom, but a tall man fn the attributes of kindness and loy- alty. He never spoke about his own virtues, but he showed them tn his every-day Iife. I wish I might know the man who gave the deadly polson tomy dog. I have no desire tocarry physical injury to that man, but only a desire to make him a better anda gentler man by painting for him a picture of poor Bix aud his sufferings. For many days, under skillful treatment of a veterinary, and the nursing of those who loved him, Bix fought against the effects o! the drug, never complaining, never showing resentment, rewarding ev- ery effort in his behalf with a wag of his tail or with an expression of thanks from his kindly eye. In the last effort of his life he dragged him selfto my feet, ralsed his drooping muzzle and laid it in my hand, as oft I’ve seen @ child repose a weary head on mother’s knee. -Thus he died, and in the death glaze upon hie brown eyes I thought I read » message of pardon for the whipping I gave him one day, when anger had driven from my head that fair sense of reason which should direct the movements of men, if not of dogs. I have never been able to accept the teaching of those ancients who held that at death-time the souls of men and wo- men sometimes are transferred to the hodies of birds and dogs, but it I could accept that view J should then believe that one day there lived upon the earth @ rare and radiant soul within the body of the gentlest wo- man that ever came to brighten and to bless the earth with her good presence, and that when she died the death of the body the gods transfer- red her soul to the body of poor Bix, 80 gracious and good he was. But I can’t believe such things, and all that is left for me now is to give to Bix in my memory-garden a place among the roses, with a promise and @ pledge to strive to make my own life among men reflect somewhat the lessons in loyalty and kindness ac quired by contact with my dog. And so, good Bix, goodbye.” A Declaration of Principles from the Leading Candidate for Governor. Hon. Wm. 8.
