CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
THE CENSUS-TAKING.
Rabbi David Klein, 526 E. Main street,
Columbus, O, writes the following to
Dr. Hartman In regard to Pe-ru-na: “It
affords me great pleasure to testify to
the curativo morits of your medicine.
Pe-ru-na is a well-tried and widely
used remedy. Especially as a specific
for catarrh of the stomach it cannot be
excelled. Pe-ru-na will do all that is
claimed for it."
Rabbi David Klein.
People afflicted with catarrh of the
stomach complain of lassitude, all-tired-
ont feelings, their blood becomes thin,
nervous system deranged, food seems to
do them no good, oontlnuoas and in
creasing weakness. The unfortunate
victim wonders why he should he so
weak, why his food gives him no
strength, why his blood should be so
thin.
Mr. Alex. Carter of Van Buren, Carter
Co, Mo, says: “I had been troubled
with dyspepsia and indigestion sinco
1879. The best physicians in the country
could do no good.
I visited the
Mullanphy hos
pital in St. Louis
'and received no
benefit. The at
tending physi
cian told me I
had narrowing of
the outlet of tho
stomach, and the
only remedy was
to have it cutout,
which I refused to have done. I then
visited West Baden, Ind.j Las Vegas
Hot Springs, New Mexico; Sweet
Springs, Mo, and Monitou, Col. I also
took a great many different kinds of
medicine recommended for dyspepsia,
but found no relief. Last February I
read a testimonial for Pc-ru-na in tho
Central Baptist that suited my case and
I determined at once to try it. I have
taken two bottles of Pe-ru-na and four
of Man-a-lln, and I feel like a new man.
None of my friends believed I would get
well. I would not take any money for
the good your remedies have done me."
In catarrh of the stomach, os well
as in catarrh of any other part of tho
body, Pe-ru-na is the remedy. As it has
often been said, if Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh of one part, it will cure catarrh
of any other part of tho body.

Bloody Tragedy in the Streets of
Carrollton.
Carrollton,Ga.,June 8.—I.ast night
a tragedy occurred here which caused
the death of two young men. The
chief policeman, Ben H. Crider, while
trying to arrest Mr. Thomas Jordan,
from the country .was shot three times,
each shot taking effect in Mr. Crider’s
chest and abdomen. Jordan was
drunk and disorderly. When Jordan
began firing, Crider drew his revolver
and shot Jordan as he fell. Both men
expired shortly.
The eause of the tragedy is supposed
to have arisen from an arrest made by
Marshal Crider some three years ago
of Mr. Jordan for disorderly conduct
on the streets of Carrollton.
The tragedy occurred about 8 o’clock
at night and Mr. Leon Hood, a by
stander, who attempted to take Jor
dan’s pistol from him when the sboot-
ng took place, received a llesh wound
in the lower leg.
Both Jordan and Crider were raised
in this county and belong to promi
nent families. The community is
shocked over the occurrence. Mr.
Crider had been a policeman of this
city for a long time, and made a most
efficient and courageous officer.

taking Hoofs Sarsaparilla I felt "stronger.
It relieved the catarrh and gave me an
appetite.” John Roberts, Ionia, Mich.

Does Your
Baking Powder
Contain
Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University or
Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I rt^
gard the use of alum as highly injurious.”
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder.”
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: “ I believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles.”
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health.”
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.

was gonp, how, many hearts were
touched with pain and lives for a time
darkened with sorrow. She was be
loved by all who knew her. In her
happy girlhood, self-forgetfulness and
thoughtfulness of others characterized
her every act; time and age only
strengthened these qualities; her
genial nature was unebiiled, and her
love for her friends was as fresh as in
her girlhood’s happy days.
She developed into a sweet Chris
tian woman, each day being full of
Christ-like acts and words. She was
always ready to aid the weak, lighten
the burden of the heavy-laden, and
one who brought the most smiles and
the fewest tears into this world. All
who came to her home received th.
very best she had, and the same genial
cordiality was extended to the one
who came in the meanest grab as to
the richly clad guest.
Her’s was a beautiful life, one that
we each might profitably pause, study
and try to copy.
Tho’ the sickle came unexpectedly,
she was ready for the harvesting, and
to her must have come the weclome,
“well done, thou good and faithful
servant,” “enter thou into the joy of

“And so I was,” replied the reverend

Mr. Taylor was among the number
who attended the recent Confederate .
veterans’ reunion in Louisville, which
be greatly enjoyed. He has in his
possession a number of old letters
which he wrote to home folks while
fighting for the South during the ’60s,
and we are glad to have the privilege
of publishing the following,' written
while a wounded prisoner after the
battle of Gettysburg:—
Chester, Pa., July 30th, 1863.
Dear Parents:—I wrote you a short
letter while at Gettysburg. On tho I4th
inst. I was sent from there to the city of
Baltimore; stayed there two days, then
came to this place, when for the first
time since I was wounded I had the op
portunity of bathing and pntting on
some clean clothing. I am now in the
nicest hospital I ever saw. I have a
nice bed to lie on, and get all the atten
tion that.is necessary. My wound is
getting well very fast. 1 have a pair of
crutches and can hobble about any
where I choose.
I saw a member of the 35th Ala.
Calvary just from Ft. Delaware yester
day. He says Dick Asbury and Henry
Clyatt are both there. He said they
were in very good health. I am afraid I
will not get back to Dixie in time
enough to get a furlough, formy wound
is improving very Oust, and I guess I
won’t be exchanged until I get well.
Some say that exchanging prisoners
has entirely ceased, but I hope it will
commence again pretty soon. I have
got separated from all my company ex
cept one; Sergt. Cornelius is still with
me. I don’t know where the others are.
I am still in good spirits, and I hope
it will not be long before I see you all.
I have seen Charlie Taylor; he was
slightly wounded and taken prisoner.
Joel was capturod; Jim was wounded
but followed our army; Lnm was either
killed or wonnded and taken; John
Morgan was killed.
I will let you hear Iroin me every
chance I have. I don't want you to be
troubled about me, for I am confident
that I will get back sale.
Your aflectionate son,
