Should a list of tho ingredients of re run be submitted to any medtoal ex pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would he obliged to admit without reserve that tho medicinal herbs com posing Pernna are of two kinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh reme dies. Second, well-known and gener ally acknowledged tonii remodli .. That In one or tho other of theno uses they hovo stood the tost of many years' ezperlenco by physicians of different schools. TXicre can bo no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious snd nnl versaliy used herbal remedies for ca tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions of the human system as require a tonic. Each ono of the principal Ingredients of Peruna lias a reputation of its own In tho cure of some phase of catarrh or as a tonic medicine.

They have visited doc tors over and over again, and been told that their case Is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of tho nose, throat, lungs, 'stomach or somo other internal organ. There is no doubt as to tho naturo of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has trlod to pre scribe for them.

The first of the fall merchants excursions are reported In leading cities, thereby enlarging Bales by Job tiers and wholesalers. Industrial re ports are generally of Increased tlmi run nnd enlarged output, and the leading crops have approached a week nearer harvest.

Western coal mining and the lumber trade generally. The railroads are certain ly buying more of rails, cars and also light supplies. The building trade evidently turned the corner In July, but reports of curtailment In output of certain HneB of cotton goods are still prominent.

For two years, from 1812 to 1814, the treasure of all the hanks of th Forest City lay in the parlor of the Marrett house in Itandiafa Village, and as evidence of the fact to-day upon the parlor door can be seen the huge lock which was placed there nearly u century ago to add safe guard to the treasure.

Loaded upon u six ox cart and guarded closely, the money, thousands of dollars of it, was transported sixteen miles and deposited In the place of safety, where it remained for two years with a guard of but one man to watch it. The door of the parlor in which the money was placed was re-enforced by a heavy lock having a Ira3s handle, and extra supports were placed under the lioor of the room to sustain the enormous weight of wealth.
