But by far tho ereutest mmjwr of tuch cases are amenable to correct medicinal treatment. A vast multitude of women have been relieved from the ailments peculiar to their sex through the use of Peruna as prescribed by !>r. Hartman. He receives many 1.tiers from all parts Of the country relating to subjects of vital interest to wmyinkind. Of the vast multilude of women Dr. Hartman treats annually, only a small per cent, of them consider it necessary to write to tin* Doctor at all. While it is not adirined that Pernna will relieve every ea~e of this kind, it is iertainly the part of wisdom for every woman so afflicted to give Peruna a fair trial m: jim •■m-m ■Mi r* Mrs. Joseph Lacclle, 124 Bronson St. # Ottawa, East, Ontario, Canada, writes: “I suffered with backache and bead* ache for over nine months and nothing relieved mo until I took Peruna. This medicine is by far better (ban any other medicine for these troubles. A few bot tles relieved me of my miserable, half- dead, half-alive condition. • / am now in xuod health, have neither ache nor pain, nor have I had any for tho past year. If every suffer ing woman would take Peruna, they would soon know its value and never be without it.” Mrs. M. Kliner, E. 36th SL, S. E. f Cleveland, Ohio, writes: “I am enjoying good health since tak ing yonr medicine. I had suffered for • good many years previous to taking Peruna, and ever since I can say that/ do not know what headache or neuralgia Is. 1 can most assuredly say that any body afflicted with catarrh in any form can be cored by taking Peruna.’* Money to Loan!

Filbert, R. F. D. 1, Sept. 28.— “ Luclle Lee," 1 trust that you will have quite recovered from your re cent illness by the time this letter is published. We all desire you to write for us as often as you can, al though we are very well aware that it is sometimes next to impossible for a sick person to write letters. I must say, however, that you write wonderfully well. I have long cheerlshed the hope that 1 would one day have the pleas ure of meeting the editor and each and every one of his faithful and de voted scribes. On with the campaign! Bryan must be elected this time, to be sure. We don’t want either Taft, Debs, Chafln, FJisgen, or anybody else. And as for Watson, we just can’t get him a* all. But there’s more sense in Watson lhan there is in Debs, Chafin, and the Hearst-Hisgen-Graves combi nation all put together. Now, Debs is the Socialist candidate, Chafin is the Prohibitionist, and Hisgen is the Independent. That is to say, he calls himself an Indepedent, but he ish’t. Billy Hearst is leading him (Hisgen) upward and onward, etc. As I was saying, wo must have Bryan, this time, without fail. He has made bis mistakes, to be sure, but he is honest. It. may seem funny to some that I, a Watsonian and a Populist, should be found in ine Bry an column, but, friends, I'm sincere in my tight for Bryan. To that ex tent i think for myself. “I do not set my life at a pin’s fee,” says Shakespeare. Neither do I. "The world’s a bubble, and the life of man Less than a span.”—Bacon. “We are such stuff As dreams are made on and our little life Is sounded with a sleep.” —Shakespeare. “A sacred burden is this life to bear, i Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, Stand up and walk beneath it stead fastly, Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, But onward, upward, till the goal ye | win.”—Kemble. The foregoing quotations express j my sentiments to perfection. Say, isn’t it funny how profession I al politicians will sometimes change front? A man said, in my presence, some Jtime ago, that he wouldn’t be a pod j tician for five thousand dollars. This i man was no doubt sincere when he 1 said this, but I think that th.3 s J g! t ' of that much “dough” would be verv 'likely to make any one ponder me i situation for a while. However, the average politician sees a hard time of it, the saying is, and has to take much that he wouldn’t take If he were not a politician. But, to speak personally, I am like the man quoted above. I don’t think I’d ever make much of a politician. I’ve got the Ideas all right, but con vincing others that I am right and they are wrong would be my trouble. Neverthless, politics Is the most fascinating game ever played by man. I confess that I often have a longing to try my hand at It sometime in the far distant future. But after all, I don’t think I shall ever do so, as I realize that the good will and esteem of the people are of far more import ance than mere political honors. Yet one can be a politician and bold office without being dishonest, for a man’s politics should never make him dishonest. And one of the things that will bring about reform In polit ical affairs Is the great number of new parties now springing up in this country. These parties are doing the people much service by dlscuss- ine all political issues from many different points of view. The lead ers of these parties are all honest, so far as they are sincere in what they say and do. We have no right to consider all Republicans rascals, and all Demo crats saints. And, between you and me, i will say that I am not among those who consider the Democratic party the very best thing that ever was. f shall vote the Democratic ticket, of course, but I fell that I have a right to discuss it in a friend ly way sometimes. Mr. Jno. A. Jackson, of Yorkville, spent Saturday night and Sunday in this section among friends. Mr. J. G. Brown is again critically ill. F have several correspondents among our Ledger readers. They all lead and appreciate my poor letters. And this is what I want them to do. I want them to also road my feeble efforts with rare and attention, as I am striving hard to be entertaining. I am, perhaps, dry and uninteresting :it times, but 1 realize my own short, comings as well as any one else rea lizes them. Ben Hope. Tuberculosis Congress. Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.—Yes terday was truly a red letter day in the proceedings of the International Anti-Tuberculosis Congress. It mark ed the arrrlval and reception of the official delegates of thirty-one differ ent countries of the world. The ad dress of welcome was delivered by secretary Cortelyou, as the official representative of President Roose velt, and he afterwards acted as chairman of the meeting. Music was furnished by the United State marine band and was very fine and inspir ing, especially the old Southern airs. After the address of welcome and responses thereto by the different delegates, and a lunch in the build ing. (the new National Museum), the various sections got down to work and some very interesting and in structive papers were read. Hojv- ever, the study of tuberculosis still seems to be in its inclpiency, and the most Important work to be done is to instruct the people how to pre vent its spread and how to recognise it when it does make Its appearance. The fight against it must be made by the individual doctor with the honest and faithful co-operation of his pat rons. There are twelve or fifteen repre sentatives of the medical profession of South Carolina attending the cong ress, and Dr. Cheyne, secretary of the South Carolina Medical Associa tion, will prepare a paper for the Columbia State, giving in full the purpose and work of the congress and the dutlqp of the medical pro fession and the people at large. This paper should he copied in every coun ty paper of the State. W. A. Dots from State Line. State Line, Sept. 27.—As I have been so busy it has been some time since i wrote to The Ledger.
