The raliroad company claims that the board was without authority to Jevy the tax because th. section 4822 of .the statutes of 1895 illegal and did not pass the legislature ac- cording to tke comsticution. It claims that the law of 1895, prcviding that the tax levy for general school purposes shall mot be over 20 mills, is still in force and that the present amendment is null and void. In the brief filed today by Jobhm N. Baldwin and Edson Rich for the. railroad company it 1s stated that the railrcad company is assessed at a certain valua- tion per mile and that if it pald the total amount asked for by the city it would h: to pay $864.07, which is $366.03 more than 1t should pay.

These crowd the offices of catarrh epecialists in vain. Mr. Chas. C. Roe once belonged to this unhappy class. A course of Peruna entirely cured him. There are two things that the whole medical profession agree about concern- ing catarrh. The first is that catarrh is the most prevalent and omnipresent disease to which the pcople in the United States are subject. All classes of people have it Those who stay indoors much and those who go out- doors much. Working classes have lit and sedentary classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con- stant and ever present foe. It compli- cates nearly every disease he is called upon | to treat. The second thing about catarrh on which all doctors agree s that it is difficult to cure it. Local remedies may give rellef, but they fail to cure permanently. Sprays or anuffs cmount (o little or nothing except to give temporary rellef. Catarrh is frequently lccated fn internal victims | | of local treatment | every physician To devise some systematic internal rem- | edy which would reach catarrh at its source, All this is known by organs which cannot be reached by any sort ' to eradicate it per- | manently from the system—this has been the desire of the medical pro- fession for o loug time. Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted He believed then that he He still believes that he solved it He cures thousands of annually. During all these years a has been the remedy upcn which he has relied. It was at first a private prescription, efierwards manufactured expressly for him io large quantities. This remedy, Peruna, is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every home in the land. It s the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing.
