THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY WOMEN • ' Demonstrate Beyond All Pe^ru^nn. Safe and Useful Hou EMILY KOCH, F Chronic Hoarseness. Mrs. Delia C. Cameron, Healdsburg, Cal. f member Daughters of America, writes: "Having tried many remedies for chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and not receiving any benefit, I began to think there was no help for me until I began to use Per una. "In a short time the bronchial tubes began to clear, I did not have that 'frog in my throat' continually, my voice was not nearly so husky, and the wheezing noisejiisappeared. "I was soon able to believe that I was entirely free from catarrh, and as this was several months ago, I do not believe that it will return." The above group of women could be multiplied by ten thousand - without reaching the number that have been helped by taking Peruna. Mrs. Roxa Tyler,62lo Madison Avenue, Chicago, 111., Vice President of the Illinois Woman's Alliance, writes: •'During the past year I gradually lost flesh and strength until I was unable to perform my work properly. I tried different remedies, and finally Peruna was suggested to m^. "It gave me new life and restored my strength. I cannot speak too highly of it." lugs Scout St Lawrence For Victims Collapse o Quebec, Que.,. Aug. 30. —With the first break of dawn a half dozen government anj Quebec Bridge Co. tugs began the search of the St. Law rence river for victims of last night's catastraphe. The toll of death caused by the collapse of the great cantilever bridge numbers at least 75 and may reach 85. Up to an earl yliour this morning less than 20 bodies had been recover ed. The terrific drop of the great steel structure from 180 feet above the surface of the river crushed the bodies of many of the workmen in frightful manner, and it is feared many of them never will be found. Early this morning row boats were sent out to examine the structure showing above the water near the shore to ascertain if any of the work men were imprisoned in the mass of twisted iron work. None was found alive. Just below the surface of the wa ter two bodies were seen, but it will be impossible to reach them until the tide goes out. Both local and Dominion authori ties have taken steps to investigate the cause of the disaster and if pos sible to fix the responsibility. Some of the workmen expressed the belief that the anchor pier gave way under the tremendous strain of overhanging steel work. A locomotive and several freight cars, loaded with steel girders, were moving out upon the bridge just be fore tne structure collapsed. Engineer Jess, who was on the lo comotive, went into the river with his engine but was picked up 300 feet below the bridge. Fireman Davis perished. Engineer Jess was removed to the Levis Hospital, where he rapidly re covered from the effects of his plunge into the river. According to his story the steel work overhanging the river was the first to show signs of weakness. At the first sign of danger Jess shut off the steam, but his locomotive continued to move toward the end of CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Signature of Catarrh of the Stomach. Miss Emily Koch, 914 Michigan Ave., Sheboygan, Wis., writes: "I can heartily recommend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. 1 had tried many things which did me no good and as a last resort I got a bottle of Peruna. "I only regret that I did not try it be fore I forced so much bad stuff into my stomach. It has entirely cured me and as a preventative I always keep a bottle in the house. "I gladly recommend it to all who are afflicted as I was." A Wasting Disease. the bridge which had begun to totter and a moment later the engine went into the river. Treasurer of Company Talks. Treasurer Davis, of the Phoenix Bridge Company, which has the con tract for building the Quebec bridge said: "I pray the loss of life is not as great as is reported. I thought everything was going well there. We had entire charge of the construc tion there and had 200 men at work." Mount Airy News. Mt. Airy, N. C., Sept. 2. —Jack Al bright tells your correspondent that the rapidly increasing circulation of his paper, The Mount Airy Leader, will shortly force him to put in a faster press than the one lie now uses. There is some opposition to vot ing bonds for the graded schools, but itvis not believed the opposition will amount to a great deal. The school is the best thing in Mount Airy except the churches, and it is not likely the proposition will be defeated at the bal lot box. The teachers have been employed and all the* necessary arrangements made for the re-opening of the graded schools on September 17th. Gee, What Tall Squirrels. Exchange. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, of Haskett, were seen passing through Bolton with the son who had the misfortune to get a leg broken in a fall from a tree while climbing after squirrels twenty feet high. EX-CONVICT SUES STATE. New York, Aug. 31. —Whether a convict can recover damages from a state for injuries suffered while at work in a penal institution is the ques tion involved in an action to be brought by Joseph Shay, a lawyer here for James Manning, an ex-prisoner. Man ning will seek $25,000 damages in the court of claims. lie was sentenced to Elmira reformatory in 1886, and he alleges that two days after his impris onment began he sat to work with a circular saw. He was an absolute no vice at the work, he further alleges, with the result that within the first five minutes his left hand was cut off. Shay says that the issue has never been ruled upon by the courts. Healthy kidneys filter the impuri ties from the blood, and unless they do this good health is impossible.'

Hohmann, 569 N. Paulina St., Chicago, 111., writes : "I suffered with catarrh of the bronchial tubes and had a terrible cough ever since a child. When a child it was supposed to be whooping cough or the croup, but as I got older it got worse. " After a while it got BO bad I had to cough both winter and summer. Fi nally I burst a blood vessel in my throat from the strain of coughing, next a blood vessel in my stomach, so I kept getting worse and doctoring, and even then could get no relief. "I went to a dispensary for treatment, but it all done me no good. At night I could never lie on my back. I would sit up until two or three o'clock in the morning before I could close my eyes. Then of course, I thought, and every body else that I had consumption. "Reading the papers about Peruna I decided to try it without the least hope that it would do me any good. But after taking three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never got discouraged. "Now I can lie on my back and sleep all night, and you may well think how thankful 1 am for Peruna." Saves Family From Death.

BRIDGE COLLAPSE; New York, Aug. 31—Theodore; Cooper of this city, who has been the consulting engineer In charge of the work on the huge Cantilever bridge across the St. Lawrence river, which J collapsed Thursday evening, feels; keenly the accident that cost the lives of 79 working men. I In a statement made to a-reporter-' he reproached himself for not having visited the works in two years, though ill health has kept him £ere and he tried to obtain his release from the responsibility of the position for that reason. | Mr. Cooper also made the statement 1 that on Thursday morning after his, inspector had come to see him and told him that things did not look well for the bridge, he had sent a telegram to the man in charge of the work to get off the bridge and stay off it until it be could examined. Mr. Cooper has not been notified whether the warning was too late. t "Of course we believed that the work as planned was absolutely safe," Mr. Cooper said, "though in ' dealing with even an old type of work on a hltnerto unparalleled scale, new and unexpected problems ( now and then arise. One cannot prophecy with infalibillty about something that is entirely new. i cannot tell what is coming out of this; maybe we shall learn about things we never knew before."

Bads in con structing the St. Louis bridge over the Mississippi river from 1872 to 1875. He was superintendent of the Delaware Bridge "Works and has been long considered a bridge expert in ! the U.

No medicine can do more. W. S. Martin & Co. ' Youngpop—"Do you think the baby looks like me?" Oldbach —"Yes, in deed, the resemblance is—er —simply awful!" RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching* with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—lT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead , . of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining w 0 blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties — just what is needed in every case of Rheu matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write us about your case and our physicians will give you any information or advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism.

Already 20 Warehouses In North Carolina Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 31.—President C. C. Moore, of the North Carolina di vision, Southern Cotton Growers' As sociation, who has been here several days attending the State Farmers' Con vention for the study of improveu methods of farming, says the move, ment for a cotton warehouse is makin-* encouraging progress, warehouses backed by strong companies being al ready established at Fayetteville, Max ton, Lumberton, Rowland and two in Cabarrus county. In fact, that there are now about 20 of these holding warehouses under way in the state and that, whereas last year the association interests could care for about 100,000 bales they would be in a position to look out for fully one million bales at •the opening of the season. A disconr : aging feature of the situation is the steadily decreasing financial support that Is being accorded the work of the association by the cotton growers. It is a fact that there is at present on ly $2O in the treasury of the North Carolina division for the current ex penses of the association, which in eludes the traveling and other expens es of the president of the association. r .
