PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND i NEW YORK DM B DAY I COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
In any mrrtirnl romponntl nil much drpcncl? upon the manner In which
It U compounded ns upon the Ingredient nacd.
First, there miit he n due proportion of the Ingredients. Each drug
In the pharmacopeia has ltd arirrlnl net inn. To combine nny drag with other
drag that have slightly different action, the combination mart be made
with strict reference to the use for which the compound Is Intended. The
drags may be rt1 selected as to their enieacy, but the compound ENTIHB
JjV SPOILED IY THE PROrOHTlON In which they are combined. I
It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. Therel
Is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of propor-j
tlon can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE.
In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. tlartman has had many year
experience. In the use of the various Ingredients which composed the ca
tarrh remedy, Pernna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the
action of each Ingredient, how to combine them Into a stable compound, how
to arrange them Into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, tho oncra
atlon and the chemical peculiarities of each several Ingredient In order to
produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharma
cists or chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH
THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UION THE DHUGS THKM
BEIiVES. The compound must present a stability which Is not affected by changes
of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It
mast be so combined that It will remain just the same whether used In the
logging or mining ramps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the
tropics.
A complete list of the Ingredients of Peruna wonld not enable any drag
gist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It Is the skill and sagacity by which
these Ingredient are brought together that give Pernna much of Its pecu
liar claims as an efficacious cntnrrh remedy.
However much virtue each Ingredient of Peruna may possess, the vnluo
of tho compound depend largely upon the manner and proportion In whlrh
they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, Is the only
way a medical compound can be made of real value

Horses blush In their ears, espec

is also true of rabbits.

Silver Tips On Pocketknlves.
"You wouldn't think that the little
German silver tips on pocketknlves
are cast geparatejy, but such is the
case," said Clayton Davis. "Just
why they cannot be cut from one
large sheet of metal I do not know,
but every one of these tiny pieces of
metal Is poured separately, thou
sands of little molds being required
for the purpose in n large establish
ment. Scrap German silver Is melted
down and a little ulumlnum added,
the effect of which Is to releaso tho
oxides in the silver and make It run
more easily. The molds are poured
'Btandlng up,' and when the metal
hardens the casting Is pnred off to
give It the rounded shape In which
It Is used.

there Is plenty of sale for pocket

old Cannon Can't Do Broken.
A good story is being told at the
Mare Island Navy Yard concerning
a San Francisco contractor, who
bought all the old obsolete cannon
which were sold at the local yard
some time ago. The cannon were
all of the smooth bore kind, and In
order that they might be easily
handled for shipment to the city all
sorts of schemes were tried In an
endeavor to break them with dyna
mite and blasting powder, but they
were unsuccessful.
An o'ectrlc drill machine was even
set up at the yard and the cannon
were drilled full of holes, in order
to weaken them for breaking open
with wedges, but this was also unsuc
cessful. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to bre&k them open with dyna
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be
so strong were among the armament
of the war craft which sailed the seas

"The Real Trouble."
According to testimony In the
West Side Cotirt, 7 2-year-old "Dan"
Noble became so flustered while pop
Blag the question to a pretty Widow
that afterward he didn't know
whether he had offered her un en
gagement ring or a black-and-tan
pup. Thursday he had Mrs. Laura
Thayor before Magistrate Breon on
the charge of withholding his blood
ed dog. He gave it to DM when be
was wooing," pouted the widow.
"O-ho, so you made love to her?"
chipped In the magistrate. "I did,"
confessed Mr. Noble, bashfully.
"Don't blush, sir," ordered the
court. "Did you present this lady
with the dos while in the throes of
a proposal?" "I think 1 Just gave
It to her to mind." "Did you think
I run a dog'H bonrdlng-houso?"
stormed the widow, with asperity.
Noble said he gave Mrs. Thayor
many things while Cupid held him
transfixed. He enumerated: "Flow-ei-B,
theatre tickets, victuals" "He
ate 'em half himself," broke In the
widow. Mr. Noble took a new tack
at that. "The real trouble," ho
said, "was her teeth." "Cut tho
teeth out," admonished the Court,
slanglly. But Mr. Noble would not
be put off. "I ordered her teeth fix
ed,'' he pursued. "That was when 1
loved her. Afterward 1 countermand
ed the order nnd she got mad and
kept the dog." "Case adjourned,"
said the magistrate. "We'll try It
again whon I feel more rested."
Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.
R. G. Dun A CoVa Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Spring trade Is making a most
satisfactory comparison with the vol
ume at this tlmo Inst year, except
In a few sertlons where the weather
Is still unfnvornble, and mercantile
collections Improve steadily, despite
the high money market. Loading
industries have orders covering pro
duction well In to the future, es
pecially cotton factories and steel
mills, while the output of pig Iron
when the month opened was close to
the largest on record. High prices
In the footwear Industry have check
ed placing contracts for fall shoes
at New England fnctorles, some de- i
cllne In prices of hides nnd leather
encouraging buyers to delay order-
lng the finished product, but most
mills nre still busy on spring goods. I
Prices are well maintained In all
sections of the iron and steel In
dustry, premiums being frequently
offered for prompt delivery, but or
ders are seldom accepted on these
terms, because of the oversold con
dition of mills and furnaces. Pig
iron Is notably active at Birming
ham, large contracts having been
placed this month covering deliveries
up to the Inst quarter. There is a
nominal difference of about $4 per
ton between spot and third-quarter
business, h"t scarcely any sales are
made at the higher figure, because
little Iron is available for prompt
shipment.

Muy Be Another LeXOW Inquiry.
If the police inspectors of New
York City should succeed In defeat
ing the Bingham police bill they will
probably find that they have run
their heads Into a noose. It may
mean another Lexow investigation of
the city. On last Monday night there
was introduced by Senntor Page a
bill that probably escaped the at
tention of the Inspectors. The rea
son of that probably was because the
bill was only In the interest of char
ter revision, but If the Inspectors
read that bill they Will find that It
is of such a nature that the Inspec
tors can be placed on the stand and
catechised. Tills bill has the en
dorsement of Governor Hughes. The
bill provides that the commission,
which is to be appointed by the Gov
ernor and be composed of nine mem
bers, shall have nil the powers of a
legislative committee. B. this means
they can go into the workings of tho

The little village could not boast
of having many entertainments, und
a concert was an event which was
looked forward to with delight by
the Inhabitants. It was at one of
these "muslral feasts" that a strang

Village Blacksmith."
In response to a vociferous encore,
the singer was about to. start "Rock

when the chairman tugged his coat
tall.
"Better ting the owd 'un over

Died In A Tunnel Air Pump.
Evan Colllster, foreman of a gang
In shaft No. of the Belmont tunnel,
ventured too close to the intake of
a big suction pump near the tunnel
entrance at Forty-seco:id Street and
the East River. The pump was
pounding away at Its job of keeping
an air pressure of 35 pounds to tho
square Inch on the submarine work
ers, and Colllster, losing his balance,
was sucked In. The pump was stop
ped for a moment and Colllster was
pulled out, dead. Dr. McCourt, the

had been sucked from the lungs and
the lungs had collapsed, admitting
