II MW o I A woman is sick-some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very am barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is the reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre spondenee with fMrs. Piiakhami , at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom so that when the is ready to advise them she is m possession of more facts from her corre noe with the patient than the physician can posi obtain thriugh a personal interview.

Banking defaults numbered 21, with liabilities of $3,441,389. While exceeding the same three months of last year in number, fail ures were much smaller in amount; commercial' and financial insolvencies together showing a decrease of $21, 532,180. Only two years of the last 20 made a better showing either in ag gregate or average indebtedness to each failure, while the proportion of $26.74 to each firm in business, and $1.09 to each $,1000 of solvent pay ments through clearinghouses are rec ords that were surpassed but once in two decades. For the month of March total liabil ities were much smaller than in the corresponding month, of any year since kjonthly statements were first published. These figures indicate most undeniably that the new century bue -opened with business on no uncertain foundation. REFUSES TO VACATE BENCH.

IF every one in the world were healthy and happy what a glad day Easter would be. But the sun rises every Easter morning on a multitude of sick and af flicted. The Easter lilies gladden the hearts of the sick and well alike. But to the sick something more than the Easter lily is necessary to bring that hope and cheer which every one expects on Easter day. The well need no physi cian, but the sick need a remedy. Nearly one-half the people in the United States are suffering from some form or phase of catarrhal ailment.. These ailments take different forms at different seasons of the year. In the springtime catarrh assumes a systemic form, pro ducing nervousness, lassitude and general languor. Systemic catarrh deranges the digestion and through deranged digestion it impoverishes or contaminates the blood. Thus we have blood diseases and ner vous derangements through systemic catarrh. Peruna Is a specific for these cases. No other remedy yet devised by the medical profession is able to successfully meet so many phases of spring ail ments as Peruna. Men and women everywhere are praising Peruna as follows: A First Class Tonia Wm. A. Collier, Assistant Paymas ter U. S. N., writes: ",I have taken Peruna and recommend It to those needing a first-class tonic." A Great Tonic. Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator and Ex-Governor of South Carolina, writes from Edgefleld, S. C.: "I have been using Peruna for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is in deed a wonderful medicine and besides a great tonic." Splendid for the Nerves. Robert B. Mantel, the famous actor, writes from New York City: "Peruna is splendid and most invigorating refresHing to the nerves and body. " For OGneral Debility. Hon. Jao V. Wright, of the Law Deprtment, General Land Office of Tenpessee, writes: "I wish every one who is suffrering with general debility or prostration could know of Perwan." . i-- : g nge ofCars, ..e.phis to Texas. i ngyto Texasionthe :Cotton Galt RQUto , -' - $6ou avoid the discomforts and annoyances of changing cars, necessary on. other routes.
