"I wish to ttll you what a great
friend I have found In Perunn. A yuir
ago I was taken with the dreadful dis
ease, cntanh. At the time I did not
know what It was. I tiled everything
that I could think of, or that anyono
would tell me. I consulted two doc
tors, but neither of them did me any
good, nnd I was constantly growing
worse all tho time.
"I was In college nt the time, and af
ter coming home I found In our house
a Peruna almanac, and looking over it
I fopnd questions that fitted my case.
1 wrote Dr. Haitman nt once Ho
wrote mo that I was suffering from
catarrh, and told mo what to do.
"I havo taken several bottles of
Peruna and now I am. entirely well.
Peruna lins not only cuied mo of
catarrh, but also of female com
plaints, of which I suffered ft great
deal. I shall always keep Peruna,
and I do highly recommend it to
every ono In tho land, especially to
young girls nnd women.
"I feel that I owe a world of grati
tude to Dr. Hartman and Peruna."
A constant drain of mucus from the
svstem Is known ns systemic cal-rrh.
This may occur fiom any organ of the
body. Systemic catarrh Is more com
mon In spilng and summer than In the
winter. A course of Peruna now will
do much more good than In the
Inclement weather of winter.

In twenty yeais' time. It is safe to
prophesy, railway development In Af
ilea will have made enormous htrldes
and the many impoitnnt branch lines
to connect with the Cape-Cairo trunk
will have been constiucted or be near
completion. In the south the line from
Johannesburg will have Joined that nt
Unlaw ayo; Bulawnyo, again, will be
connected with a line running rlsht
across country to Walllsch Hay In Ger
man West Africa. In Central Africa
the trunk line will connect with Ger
man and British lines running to the
cist coast: and It is only reasonable
lo suppose that by that time u lino
or lines thiough Belgian tenltoiy will
connect or bo In closo touch with tho
Cape-to-Calin route. And that tho
trunk line will be a paying concern
theie Is no reason to doubt.
In the Ithodeslan section alieady
limit the rotuins havo advanced by
leaps and bounds. The engineering
dlfllcultles of the Cape-to-C'ulro lino
are considerable, but not Insuperable;
so that, vvlth Mr. RhodPS at the head
to "push the thing ulong," there Is
every prospect of the bcheme, vast ns
It Is, being successfully accomplished.
