ARD MES, J. 0. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO. NDER date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: “My wife had been suffering’ from a com- plication of diseases for the past 25 years. “Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years’ standing. ‘‘She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman— change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these won- derful remedies. : “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At "times 1 was almost past going. I commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and contin- ued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. “Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. Ca- tarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions. Suc- cess to you and your remedies.’’ John O. Atkinson.

EIGHT YEARS OF TORTURE. No suffering more keen than kidney suffering. Sick kidneys make bad blood; cause weak, stiff and aching backs; cause blind, sick and dizzy headaches, lack of appetite and loss of sleep; keep you all tired out and spoil digestion. To have perfect health you must cure the kidneys. Read how one man was cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills after eight years of torture. Henry Soule, of Pult- ney St, Hummonds- port, N. ¥., says: “For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. I endured the worst tor- 3 ture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and con- tained sediment like brick dust. I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out. Indiges- tion came on, and the distress after eating was terrible. Doar’s Kidney Pills effected a complete and lasting cure, and after the symptoms of kid- ney trouble were gone my stomach be- gan to work as it should. This lasting cure, especially in a person of my age, proves the great value of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills more conv in cingly than could any words of mine. Doan’s Kidney Pills sold by all drug- gists; price, 50 cents per box, or mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Write for free trial. Atkinson says, after five years’ experience with Peruna: “I will ever continue to speak a good word for Peruna. In my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have indweced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most sat- tsfactory results. I am still cured of catarrh.’”’ John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on catarrhal dis- eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al- most universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become 80 indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Perura 1s the only rem- sy yet devised that meets these cases ex- actly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them. This ds exactly what Pe- runa is. If you do not receive prompt and satisfac- tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state- ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Manufacturers of Agricultural Imple- ments Busy—Miners Action Had Good Effect Improvement in trade and industry continues, favorable reports largely outnumbering adverse influences. The most important event of the week was tne vote by bituminous coal miners to accept the proposed reduction in wages This will probably prevent a serious struggle that would paralyze manu- facturing just when it is beginning to revive. = Traffic delays are still causing com- plaint and the movement of exhibits to the St. Louis exposition provides a temporary feature of importance. Railway earnings thus far available for March show a decrease of only 8 per cent, as compared with last year’s figures. Another week has brought no check to the progress in the iron and steel supply, nor is there any inclina- tion to advance prices by bounds, as in the boom four years ago. This con- servatism will bring beneficial results if continued. All divisions of the pig iron market are more active, and the level of prices tends gradually upward. The leading interest is closing its option by taking the iron and will probably accept the May delivery when the option expires next month. Sev- eral large undertakings are progress- ing satisfactorily, providing a good market for steel and much contemplat. ed work is becoming more tangible as the season advances. While no mate- rial increase is reported in sales of steel for railroad or structural pur- poses, the tone of the market is better and there is more confidence in the future. Pipe is one of the strongest features of the industry. The fuel sit- uation is attracting attenion, coke shippers being unable to secure cars. Failures this week numbered 229 in the United States, compared with 220 last year, and 21 in Canada against 22 a year ago. Bradstreet’s says: The backward- ness of spring trade, generally attribut- ed to almost interruptedly bad weath- er, tinges most reports from distribu- tive centers, but several developments of the week have been notably favor- able, chief among these being the con- tinued improvement in the iron and steel trade and the decision of the bi- tuminous miners not to strike against proposed reduction of wages. The im- provement noted in iron and steel has progressed favorably. The large buying by leading interests some weeks ago has induced freerer pur- chasing by smaller interests. Agricul- tural implement manufacturers are doing the best business in years. The railroads are reported still backward in taking supplies, but late reports point to some leading systems coming into the market for steel rails. West- ern car works are reported actively employed and shop supplies and tools are reported to be in more active re- quest, MAR IEE TS. PITTSBURG.

I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I felt so weak and dizzy at times I could not me my studies with the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish, I had headaches, backaches and sinking spells, also pains in the back and lower limbs. In fac I was siak all over. inally, after many other remedies had been tried, we were ad- via to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am Plonsed to say that after taking it only two weeks, a wonderful change or the better took place, and in a short time I was in perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of life, and found all work a pastime. I am indeed glad to tell my experience with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, for it made a Bets girl of me. Yours very truly, Miss M.

There is no other work that is such a strain on the system. Oh, how my back used to ache from the bending over! I would feel as though I would have to scream out from the pain, and the sitting still made me so terribly tired and weak, and my head throbbed like an engine. I never could eat after work, I was so worn out. Then I was irregular, and had such frightful cramps every month they would simply double me up with pain. and I would have to give up working and lie down. But Lydia E.
