CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN
The Well-Known Kansas Statesman, Cnred of
I Catarrh of the Stomach by Pe-rn-na,
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SUFFERING
Wore Evidence of Interest to the Millions of
Catarrh Sufferers in the United States.
HON. J. D. BOTKIN, CONQRESSMAN-AT-LARQE FROM KANSAS.
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman. Congressman Botkln, of Winfleld, Kan., whose
fame Is a national one, says of Peruna:
My Dear Doctor:—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Hanalln. I have been afflicted more or
less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A
residence In Washington has Increased these troubles. A few bottles of your
medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation
of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful remedy fo*
catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkln, Congressman-at-Large.
BOTKIN Is one of the
most Influential antl best known luen
lu the Stale of Kansas. Whatever lie
may say on any subject will be iu-ceited by
the people as ilie truih. So famous a rem
edy as Peruna could net have well escaped
the attention of so fatuous a man. lie not
only has heard of tlio remedy, but lie lias
used It and was relieved of an allllctlon of
twenty-live years' stain lug. reruna Is tlie
one Internal remedy that cures chronic ca
tarrli. It cures catarrh wherever located.
This Is a fact that the people are rapidly
llndlng out,'but there are still a large mul
titude who need to know It.
Mr, Frank Itlcliter, of Winona, Minn., says
lua letter to Tile I'eruna Medicine Company.
"As a remedy for caiarrh I take pleasure
lu recommending I'eruna for catarrh of the
stomach. 1 know what 11 is to be afflicted
with tills awful disease and consider It my
duty to say a word lu behalf of the remedy
Which gave me such relief. I'enma cured
uie, and I know it will cure any one else
who from tills disease. It gives me
rent pleasure to testify to the curative ef
of this medicine. I'eruna Is a well
tested and frequently used remedy, and for
catarrh of the stomach it Is unsurpassed.
"My catarrh was principally located In
my head and stoinAch. I tried many reme
dies without success. I tried several doc
tors, hut they were tumble to cure me. I
read of Peruna in the papers and live bottles
cured me."—Frank Hicluer.
The gastric Juice Is secreted bv the mu
cous follicles of the stomach. When this
Juice la normal it \lge«ts (dissolves) the food
without producing any disturbance what
ever. If, however, the gastric Juice Is not
normal, digestion causes manv disagreeable
symptoms. This condition is known as In
digestion. Peruna will cure tills.

WINS FROM WESTERN UNION.
0. 8. Supreme Court')) Declaloa In the llo
coin Call Case.
Washington. April 17.—The case of
the Western Union Telegraph company
against the Call Publishing company
of Lincoln, Neb., has been decided in
favor of the newspaper by the United
States supreme court, Justice Brewer
delivering the opinion. The Call was a
Lincoln newspaper and the suit was
based upon the allegation that the
telegraph company has discriminated
against It In the matter of tolls In fa
vor of the Lincoln Journal. The feder
al supreme court affirmed the opinion
of the Nebraska supreme court.
It was alleged in behalf of the Call
that while that paper was taxed at the
rote of $5 per 100 words, the Journal
was required to pay only $1.60 per 100
words. The telegraph company con
tended that its services to the Call
company were a matter of interstate
commerce, subject to regulation only
by congress and not by state law or by
common law, and that as congress had
taken no action the telegraph company
could not be restrained. In handing
down the opinion of the court Justice
Brewer asked:
"Can It be that the great multitude of
Interstate commercial transactions are
freed from the burdens incurred by the
common law as so defined and are
subject to no rule except that to be
found In the statutes of congress?
"We are clearly of the opinion that
this cannot be so, and that the princi
ples of the common law are operative
on all Interstate commercial transac
tions except so far as they are modified
by congressional enactment."
Judgment for $1,097.66 Is rendered
against the telegraph company.
STOCKMEN WILL SUFFER.
Another Blizzard in the West Will
Cause Big Losses of Cattle
and Sheep.
Denver, Colo., April 18.—Reports
from northern Colorado are to the ef
fect that a vertible blizzard has pre
vailed on the prairies for the past
twenty-four hours and still continues.
The loss of stock will be heavy. In the
vicinity of Denver and on the plains the
storm is described as the worst in
years.
The snow Is drifting badly and as
railroad cuts are filling up serious
trouble will be experienced if the
storm continues for another twelve
hours. Railroad traffic has not been
Impeded thus far, but city business
has been hampered.
The severe snow storms of the past
two weeks are believed to have caused
serious losses in the stock country In
eastern Wyoming, western Nebraska
and South Dakota. In many places
lambing had already commenced and
where a sheep had lain down the storm
was sure to claim It as a victim.

There is more -catarrh in thlB section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be Incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced It a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proved catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment.' Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It ucts directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of tho system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any caso it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes

OPEN AIR TELEPHONES NOW.
You Just Stand on the Sidewalk :in! Itin-r
Up Central.
New York Sun: The nearest approach
to wireless telegraphy In point of conveni
ence of communication is th«* open air
telephone, for use in the public streets.
When this has come into use you can
jump off a street ear at any corner, call
up central and talk to your pastor or
your best girl—and have it all over In a
second.
"William Gray of Hartford, Conn., the
inventor of the regulation booth tele
phone, has concocted the scheme, and
fifty of the machines are no v.* being put
together by the Gray Telephone I'av
Station company. One will man be put
up for trial on one ot* the best street cor
ners in New Haven. If the device proves
as successful ns its inventor imagines
that it will,-the introduction of the ma
chines throughout tlie Pnited States will
depend only on the consent of the mu
nicipal authorities.
This outdoor telephone is of the height
and shape of a police or fire alarm box.
The slender iron post that bears the box
and the box itself have a white aluminum
finish. The sides of the box-bear the blue
bell, the emblem of the telephone station.
The door can be unlocked by dropping
a cent In the slot, and the coin can he
recovered upon the opening of the door.
Inside the box is the mechanical pay sta
tion telephone with the slots for dimes,
nickels, etc., and on the inside of the
door hangs a telephone directory.
The receiver is attachM to the back
by a short arm, and ncslde it hangs the
transmitter. Connection with the central
office is made in the usual way, and when
central gets the person wanted and the
money is deposited conversation mnv pro
ceed.
The door of the box is on be\eled hinges
and shuts itself by gravitation after ihe
telephone has been used.
It Is apparent that such street stations
will make telephoning so easy that there
will be a genornl demand for their intro
duction. of course, they cannot be put
in without the consent of the local au
thorities, and they may be regarded a:
an obstruction in the street, although
they 'will take, up no more room than
the lire alarm or police telegraph boxes.
It Is suggested that the telephone call
box may supplant both of these and make
them no longer necessary, as it is intend
ed to permit the police the use of the
boxes free for messages to station houses
and even permit the free use of them to
anybody who wants lo communicate with
the police.
