THE REMARKABLE CURE
Of Cases of Bright’s Disease After
They Had Been Given Up to Die,
Mr. J. Brake of Petrolea, Ontario, Can
ada, writes: “Pour years ago I had a
severe attack of Bright’s Disease, which
brought so low the doctor said noth-
Bon, J. Brake.
ing more conld be done for me. .When
one of your lectures on the above disease
was road to me I began to take Pc-ru-na
and Man-a-lln, and fonnd it acted just as
represented. In three months I was a
well man, and have continued so ever
since.”
Mr. J, N, Howard of Marble, Ark.,
says: “ It bos been nearly two months
since I wrote yon giving a description
of my case. I began taking Pe-ru-na
and when I got your letter I followed
the directions. My doctor had no
hope Of my getting well. My bowels
were so bloated that I conld not rest day
or night if I ate anything at oil. I
thought my case was hopeless. But
words cannot express my praise for
your medicines. My friends were won
derfully surprised when they saw mo
improving. But I have not suffered
a day sinoe I began taking your
medicines; I eat anything I wish and
have a good appetite. I was suffering
from dropsy so bad that I could not get
my clothes on and my feet were all
swelled up.”
Mrs. Mary A. Shear, Jennings, La.,
says: “I am recommending your medi
cines to every one I hear complain. My
disease was Bright’S disease of the kid*
neys, I am quite well now.”
The kidneys are subjeot to catarrh the
samo as any other organ. The catarrh
may be slight, giving rise to litUe or no
disturbance, or severe, producing a
genuine case of Bright’s disease of the
kidneys. The symptoms of catarrh of
the kidneys are weak back, dull pjijqg
in back and hips, sometimes high*
colored and sometimes clear urination.
Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads
to chronic Bright’s disease. Pe-ru-na
Should be taken at the appearance of
tlie first symptom. Tf taken in the
oarly stages of the diseaso Pe-ru-na is
sure to cure every case. Pe-ru-na cares
catarrh of the kidneys simply because
it cures catarrh wherever located. Bo
other systemic catarrh remedy has as
yet been devised. Insist upon having
Pe-rn-na. There are no medicines that
can be substituted. There is no other
remedy that can be relied on to cure ca
tarrh of f he kidneys, J’o-ru-qa cures ca
tarrh of any organ of the human body.

Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doc
tor I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, bnt it
grew worse and the doptor then said J
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
drnggiBt recommended me to try Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm. I tried it and one-
half of a 50-cent bottle cured me en
tirely. I now recommend it to all my
friends.—F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It

FAITH IN THE SOUTH.
Persons who have the least doubt
abont the ability of the South to meet
all the industrial demands npon it
might do well to recall the indications
of faith in its futnre, given during the
past three or four weeks by investors
from beyond its limits and by those
native to it. While that period has
been marked by a steady advance in
the diversity of undertakings on a com
paratively moderate scale, it has been
noted for the inception of several large
enterprises which have attraoted atten
tion in many parts of the conntry. The
growth of the textile industry,of course-,
maintains its importance in the public
eye.—Manufacturers’ Record.
Mr. Frank Barnes’ Children .\
rmvly Escape Death.
The three little children of Mr.
Frank Barnes, a clever engineer on
tile O. R. & S, had a close call last
Thursday, griin Death giving them
narrow margin.
About the middle uf the forenoon
they drank some buttermilk which had
been standing in a tin vessel, and at
noon drank some more. They were
taken .suddenly and violently ill, and
for several hours it was thought they
would die.
Drs. R. N. Spinks and .F. A. Liddell
were summoned, and by faithful work
succeeded in saving the lives nf the
children. The sickness was caused by
tin poisoning from tin* buttermilk
standing in a tin pan.
This instance should he a warning to
people not to allow buttermilk to stand
in tinware, as such a tragic occurrence
may happen in any home at any time.

REPUBLICANS SELECT OHIOAN |
' AND NEWYORKER
For President and Vice President j
Thursday in Philadelphia.
Tlie Republicans held their national
convention in Philadelphia last week
And “Mr. Dooley” says it was “wan
iv th’ most excitin’ he’s iver sec since
he attended a handkerchief drill in
III' Women’s Christyan Timprance
Union.”
Tlie re-nomination of President Mc
Kinley has,of course, been practically
certain for the past four years, and
there was little genuine enthusiasm
for the ■ “man-with-his-ear-to-the-
ground,” though his nomination was
unanimous
The humiliation for Vice President
was forced upon Governor Roosevelt,
of New York, by some shrewd polit
ical wirepulling. Boss Piatt-, of that
state, could not make a tool of him,
and so decided to shelve him by fore
ing tlie nomination for Yioe President
on him against- his will. In this
was aided by Boss Quay, of Pennsyl
vania, who was actuated by hatred of
Ilanna, whose vote knocked Quay out
of tlie Senate. In spite uf being dis
credited by Ills party in the Senate
Quay received an Ovation from the
national convention.
The Roosevelt boom was admirably
manipulated by veritable “past mas
ters” in sqidi matters,and they doubt
less succeede<l in securing the strong
est possible candidate for the place—
tlie only ope for whom there was any
real enthusiasm.

thing and promises everything.

COTTON MANUFACTURES IN THE
SOUTH.
The story of the development of the
cotton industry of the South reads like
a faiiy tale. It is, however, within the
last ten years that the great growth of
the Sonthern cotton industry lias taken
place. By 1898 the number of spindles
had exceeded 3,750,000, and since that
date the gain has been something enor
mous. The prosperity of 1890, accom- -
panied by the high price of cotton
fabrics, gave a remarkable impetus to
the erection of mills, and the new fac
tories erected in the Southern States
during the last twelve months will add
considerably over 1,000,000 spindles.
These remarkable additions to the cot
ton manufacturing plants of the South
ern States are being made both by new
corporations and by existing concerns
which are extending their facilities.

In a circular in 1787 ‘'booming'’ the set

mouth of tlie Muskingum, declared
that “tlie current down the Ohio and

Not less remarkable than the growth
of the cotton manufacturing industry
in the Soath is the fabrics produced.
Only ten years ago Sonthern cottons
had a poor reputation compared with
the product of the Eastern mills. The
goods produced were chiefly colored
fabrics, coarse in yarn and ernde in
color and pattern. But about 1890 great
improvements in the product were
made. Finer yarns were spun and
more attention was paid to the character
of the cloth produced. Print cloths
and fine sheetings were woven, ging
hams of good grade-and denims of a
quality which compare favorably with
that of Eastern make were turned out,
and today Sonthern mills are producing
goods of medium quality which are
equal to anything of the same grade
turned out in New England.
Remarkable as has been the increase
in American cotton manufacturing
plants, it is evident that the expansion
will continue for many years. Not only
will the rapid growth of our own pop
ulation provide increased consumption
at home, bnt we are evidently destined
to supply the world with the greater
part of its cotton fabrics.—New York
