Tho Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen "Although, my school does not believe in patent medi
cines, I have found it to be a fact that Peruna is a grand and valuablo
medicine. I have known it to cure Mrs. Sampson, suffering with an in
flamed womb, nggrevated by malaria, after the doctors had failed to
help her. Another of my former patients suffered with a complication
of female diseases; she was so thin, nothing but skin and bones, but
Pei una cured her nnd she is today in good health and good flesh. Facts
piovo that Penina revives lost strength and restores to the sick that
most wonderful blessing of life health." Lucy Annie Helser.

New York, May 21 Sugar certificates occupied
the attention ot tin- Stock exchange today to the
practical exclusion ol other considerations. Tho
palhv and lumltuilc ol the market teemed to
spur the profewlonal traders to a March tor aome
medium ot operation and they gate themseltce
up to a speculative revel in Sugar. The fluc
tuations In t Ida stock wcro frequent, violent and
erratic, and there was no news to account tor
them bctoml the alrltst and most unsubstantial
rumors. AIo, It was evident that the enor
mous business being done would necessitate very
little clerical labor on the transler books ol the
rompaii) Probably the large majority ol the
contracts made cither for lale or for purchase,
were closed out before the end of the day the

leading lndustrlils thoned sympathy with Sugar,
especially Anurlcan Tobacco, which Is nearest
of kin to It In ppeuilatlve character. The latter
stocks shnned better resistance to reaction than
other specialties which generally lost pretty much
all their gains. The general list continued in a
slough of despond and moved either way with
great dinicully. Opening prices were lower in
sympathy with London and there was a midday
rally when Sugar shot upward and Chicago and
Northwestern was maikcd up SH ' The latter

Mattle B. Curtis. Secretary Legion of
Loyal Women, Hotel Salem, Boston,
Mass., writes:
" I suffered
for over a year
with general
weakness and
debility, mani
fested especial
ly in severe
backache and
headache.
"My physician
prescribed dif
ferent medicines,
none of which
seemed to help
me any until a
club associate
udvlspd me to
try Peruna. as It cured her of constitu
tional headache and stomach troubles.
I at once ordered a bottle and before
it was used, felt greatly Improved.
"I have taken four ljottles nnd for
two months have been entirely free
from these maladies. Several ot my
Mends are using Peruna with bene
ficial results, especially in cases of
tioubles with the kidneys and other
pelvic oigans, together with weakness
es peculiar to women."
From Mrs. Amanda Shumaker, who
Mattie II Curtis
has charge of the grammor department
of tho public schools; also past giandof
Independent Order of Good Templars,
Dr. Hartman received the following
letter:
Columbia City, Wash
"I can speak only goad words of the
repeated benefits I have has! from the
use of Peruna.
"Too constant application to work
last winter caused mo to hinro severe
bead and backnche and dragging
pains. I could not stop my work,
neither was I fit to go on. Hoading
of the beneficial results from the use
of Perunn, I purchased a bottle and
within a few days after using it,
began to feel better.
"I constantly improved and before
the seventh bottle was completely
used, all pains were gone, my strength
was restored, and I now seem ten
years' younger.
"If I get tired or feel bad, Peruna at
once helps me, nnd I feel you deserve
praise for placing such a conscientious
medicine before a suffering public."

CONDITION OF GERMANY.
Sho Raises Enormous Revenues
Without Burdensome Taxation.
iTom the New orK Sun.
A most complete and lucid report
on the economic condition of the Ger
man empire has Just been made by
Mr. Harris-Gastrell, the commercial
attache to the British embassy at Ber
lin. The figures which ho handles ap
pear at first sight to be rather start
ling, but on close examination, so far
from being alarming, they place the
financial condition of the empire in a
very satisfactory light, and show how
It lu that It beajs what appears to be
enormous burdens with relative ease.
Taking the Imperial Budget first, it Ih
shown that the nrmy and navy absorb
full B3 per cent, of tho imperial re
venue, which Is $356,080,000, as against
$101,4715,000 In 1S72. The cost of tho
army then waB C6,C5,000; It is now
$133,370,000, making, with the cost of
the navv added, the military expenses
of the German empire for the current
year upward of $205,O0O,C00. When the
revenues of the various states, each
of which has Its separate budget, are
added to the Imperial revenue, tho to
tal attains the prodigious figure of
almost $1,125,000,000; of this sum the
revenue of the kingdom of Prussia
amounts to $581,570,000.
The empire Itself, owing to tho In
demnity received from France after
the war of 1S70-71, started free of
debt, for out of the money received
from France it paid off the debt of tho
old North German confederation, and
in 1S77 It owed only $4,000,000. Now the
deht has run up to $575,000,000, with an
annual Interest charge 6f $18,785,000
Each year sees an augmentation, and
tho naval programmo alonei will in
crease the dbt by $150,760,000, which is
to be borrowed. All the Imperial
debt may be said to havo been con
tracted for military purposes, $369,
225,000 being for the army, $90,000,009
for the navy. $J2,!35,000 for strategic
railways, $26,2223,000 for the Kaissr
Wllhelm canal.
The revenue of the kingdom of Prus
sia has risen from $166,250,000 In 1S72
to S5S1.570.000. and the debt has grown
to $1,647,920,000, being an Incrense of
414 per cent, since 1872. The interest
charre Is $57,085,000.
This Is the dark side of the account,
and for a country like Germany it
seems dark enough It may be asked
how does the country bear such bur
dens.' The answer is, pailly because
its industrial and economic develop
ment has been unprecedented, and be
cause a large portion of the totals
Just given represent neither public
burdens In tho way of taxation nor
public debt ns generally understood.
The greater part of the Prussian debt
has been Incurred In tho construction
or purchase of the rnllways, and so
rcmaikable has been the expansion ot
the railway system and business that
the gross receipts of the sta$e-owned
railways have risen from $36,540,000 In
1S72 to an estimated $310,000,000 in tho
present year. The money boi rowed
by the Prussian government has been
invested in public undertakings which
are proving, more profitable each year
with the expansion of the German
trade. The 'total debt charge is un
der $00,000,000 and the fstlmated net
receipts for this year are $133,000,000
It is this that accounts for the few
complaints heard ot burdensome taxa
tion in Prussia or any of tho other
states embraced In tho empire.
Notwithstanding the heavy military
expenditure In Germany, Uursla lends
Europe in the expenditure on public
education. Its budget this year for
elementary education exceeds $20,000,
000, against less than $1,000,000 in 1871:
for higher schools It has risen from
$420,000 to $3,085,000, and for universi
ties from $055,000 to $2,555,000. In 1871
only $73,000 was spent on industtlal
schools, nnd the estimate now Is $1,
403,000. In other respects tho Prussian
state stands out as a model of pro
giess. The total debt of Germany, im
perial and state, is $2,615,000,000, and
the cross income of about $1,125,090,000,
and of this no less than $473,500,000 Is
represented by the gross receipts of
all tho state railways In Germany, so
that for all puposes of the empire, and
In Its position ns an agglomeration of
Independent states, Germany has only
to raise about $651,500,000 by taxation
